“I think the family is clearly trying to play defense for the folks who killed their son.”
Is it possible that Trump’s Justice Dept. is getting ready to act and has asked the family, Hannity, etc. to cool it for a bit?
I’m always an optimist and I do end with frequent disappointment — but I see a number of things happening right now which “seem unfortunate” but which I happen to think are really Trump putting a plan into action.
Different example: The UK is really — really! — upset with the US for recent leaks related to the Manchester bombing. In fact, the UK has stopped sharing some terrorism-related information with the US because of these leaks.
Can you think of anyone who has been complaining of leaks in the US government? Do you think President Trump might benefit from additional people complaining about leaks? Here we have an international incident. It’s negatively affecting our war on terrorism. If President Trump comes home and REALLY cleans house and purges all leakers, would he now appear to be especially justified?
The UK is angry? I think Trump asked them to be angry. It helps him.
I think Trump is often two steps ahead of the curve.
