Trump set for showdown with Richard Trumka, Lindsey Graham
Washington Examiner ^

Posted on 03/06/2017 7:16:27 PM PST by ameribbean expat

President Trump will hold individual meetings on Tuesday with two men who have consistently criticized his policies.

Trump will first sit down with Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., at 12:30 in the presidential dining room in the White House.

The two first butted heads during the campaign. Following the election, Graham continued to challenge some of Trump's foreign policy stances. In late December, Graham said nearly the entire Senate disagreed with the then-president-elect's statement that Russia did not try to meddle in the U.S. election.

McLeaker needs to be talked to as well.

It’s unfortunate that President Trump has to waste even a minute with such gasbags but I’m sure he has his reasons for engaging with them.

I like his chances of getting something positive done with Trumka more than I do with Linda.

You know, Trump at his address to Congress was a true olive branch. If Dems would have worked with him and not harrassed him over this Russia crap, he probably would have ignored Hillary and Obama's crimes.

But noooo...the party of the ass had to go out there and show their ass.

Graham vowed to get to the bottom of Trump’s wiretapping claims. Amazingly, for once he sided with Trump.

McCain said he’s seen nothing to substantiate Trump’s claims. He demanded that, if Trump has any evidence, he make it public.

It could be that Trump is rewarding and building on Graham’s supoort. Just a thought.

Just for one after speech Dems were quiet and then back to Russia.
Now Trump had changed narrative, its now did Obama wiretapped Trump or Trump is lying ?

If you listen carefully from Obama surrogate, no one is saying campaign server was not monitored.
I think FISA was for Campaign servers and Telephone lines.

This is good news; not tired of winning, thank God for this miracle. Pray without ceasing that God will show us mercy and grant President Donald Trump and Vice President Michael Pence wisdom understanding and knowledge to lead us, and grace and protection against the adversary.

Yeah, and I’m hoping the Trump/Sessions team will now go all scorched earth on the Democraps. So many crimes to prosecute! No mercy!

I don’t care how much the MSM whines, they have passed the point of no return on “bipartisan comity” crap.

If Trump can drive a wedge between the lovebirds, by schmoozing Graham while leaving McCain out in the cold, he’ll have one less headache to deal with.

You are channeling the correct route.

Trump has raised a few teenagers, and he knows how to make them grow up and move back to reality.

Notice he never goes after the ones he conquers, no nasty RAT-type scratching and scarring.

He wants to convert the idiots over to reality, and make them part of the crew, not shun them off to a corner.

All the RINOs and ~reasonable RATS will be given a place back at the table, if they admit they were being punks influenced by peer pressure. He’s an inclusive guy, not exclusive. His heart is shown in that he hates the sin, and calls it out, but doesn’t hate and run down the sinner.

This is how you build alliances.

Maybe the POTUS has the goods - a file - on Lindsey and just wants to share over some lunch, hmmmm.

Graham won’t make it through lunch - he’ll pass out being in the presence of that much testosterone. Trump needs to have some smelling salts on hand for him.

I can’t think of one reason to like Senator McCain. Maybe there is one but I can’t think of it.

“In late December, Graham said nearly the entire Senate disagreed with the then-president-elect’s statement that Russia did not try to meddle in the U.S. election.”

AND IT’S TRUE. Russian Oligarchy, Russian executives, various Russian agents did try to meddle in the US Election. They tried to ‘influence’ it to help Hillary win. They gave her money. It couldn’t be more obvious.

Now, they are trying to help destroy Trump because he is interfering with their game. The Russian Ambassador is a big ‘plant’ and was the conduit through which the words exchanged between the Ambassador and Trump’s staff was ‘leaked’.

These people are not the Russian government. They are the crooks of the Russian nation and government, like most of our Democrats are over here. They have no real loyalty to another other than themselves and ultimate power.

Trump is in their way of achieving ultimate power.

Early on in the primary Trump said something like “I win, it is what I do”. These fools haven’t grasped that yet...

He demanded that, if Trump has any evidence, he make it public.

So... if Trump makes it public (and has to declassify it to do so), then he can't be blamed because McCain DEMANDED IT.
