The sheer brilliance of Trump’s move of counter-accusing 0bama et al of bugging his phones in his Saturday tweet has got to be one of the most dramatic political chess moves ever. No exaggeration. Especially when you observe the actual, real-world effect. 24 hours after the predictable feigned-outrage reaction it utterly obliterated the synthetic urgency of the “Russians” accusation and in all effect got underneath the planned hearings on same. Chatter about the “Russian” influence on the election is down perhaps 80% or more. Talk about sucking the oxygen out of the room. Absolutely remarkable.
President Trump does not need them to speak to his 60+ million voters/us. He Tweets us, sends his contributors emails and controls the White House digital system. He bypasses the left wing mediots, when he communicates directly with us.
So, neither President Trump, nor his 60+ million voters/us need nor do we want ABCNNBCBS, Faux, the Ny/LA Slime, WSJ, Compost, and LaRaza Times trying to tell us what our president is telling us. We know without their twisting and word games.
We dont need the old gotcha press conferences. With the whining and lying liberal mediots attacking our president. We are tired of the mediots lying and telling us what to believe and how to vote! Ban them from the White House. Trumps comments and statements are for his voters. We dont need lying liberal mediots to tell us what he says to us. There is zero filtering, adjusting and lying to us when Trump talks to us directly!
Official Washington is being traumatized by the tweets of Donald Trump.
Politico has chronicled the pearl clutching concern by the inside the beltway types over Trump's tweets. Trump speaking directly to the people via Twitter is causing a crisis among mediots, politicians and lobbyists. They just don't know how to handle it as the article title, Trumps Twitter feed traumatizes Washington.
The other part of this move... if you noticed all the leaking against Trump is stopped in its track?
The Anti-Trump leakers now have gone quiet simply because if they leak they prove Trump’s accusations
Excellent deconstruction. Very insightful.
Another factor to be considered........for many years, Trump was the go-to businessman w/ a big checkbook for pols needing campaign money.
Trump knows plenty. God only knows what the pols confided in him to get fatter donations....about the sex lives of their opponents, etc.. .....
