Trump's Biggest Mistake So Far

[GoldenState_Rose]

Firing the Mooch. BIG MISTAKE. I do not care what anyone says. He was brilliant at the press conferences. And as Diamond and Silk pointed out, for the 10-11 days he was on, Russia was not the narrative and the swamp was only starting to get drained. The moment he was fired and General Kelly came on board: more leaks than with Priebus in charge!!! And swamp creatures getting a free pass galore.

The next few weeks is going to be a dark period for the White House until President Trump gets his bearings and trusts his instincts again rather than listen to the "wisdom" of even well meaning people like Pence who likely cannot handle the fake media flack and think appeasement is the answer.

Annoyed.

Scaramouche was indeed great at his one and only press conference, but ended up being scary and unhinged. I can’t imagine this guy in charge of my stock portfolio.

what I’ve read says he would not work under Kelly. So, he resigned.

Hopefully, there is a place for him somewhere.

“The moment he was fired and General Kelly came on board: more leaks than with Priebus in charge!!! And swamp creatures getting a free pass galore.”

Not sure if Impy will disagree with me, but when you take fire, that means you are in the fight.

I believe the leftist moles are retaliating, a political ‘TET offensive’. In football terms — a ‘hail mary’.

Sometimes I make jokes about being an alien that is just here to observe.

But lately, that pretty sums up my attitude. The whole thing is just a show to watch for me. We’re screwed no matter who gets elected. The economy and culture are way too far gone.

It allows me to focus more on my faith in the Lord, as opposed to our government and cultural leaders, and the lunacy that is going on worldwide these days.

The only question is position.

I don’t know. I think he “Scared the Mucci” out of Trump and many of the rest of us.

Trump’s biggest mistake is Pence, the presumed heir apparent and not fitted for the job of finishing what Trump has started.

[John W]

Thank God you aren’t running things for the president.

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

And BTW, it’s grossly unfair to go after Kelly when he just started taking charge. The leaks remain on Priebus for at least a month after he leaves.

Good grief.

[dowcaet]

I think Scaramucci was never intended to be the director of press communications. I think this was part of the strategy to get rid of Preibus. Look folks after more than two years of seeing candidate and now President Trump in action one can’t take what he does at face value. There’s always one or more later moves with each action he takes. In other words, he’s keeping his opponents off balance.

[GoldenState_Rose]

Well glad you are so pleased with the new changes. Things are obviously getting better.

Not.

[papertyger]

While I do agree with your sentiments, Mooch’s faux pas with Ryan Lizza betrays either bad judgement, or unacceptable naiveté.

Either way, while his dismissal is regrettable, it WAS the right thing to do.

[ExTexasRedhead]

Biggest mistake so far is allowing Obama and Clintoon scum to stay past Day One after Trump was sworn in.

The whole thing is just a show to watch for me. We’re screwed no matter who gets elected. The economy and culture are way too far gone.

We are seeing an essentially incorruptible billionaire with conservative instincts making only marginal headway against the entrenched interests. His election has made it 100% clear that the only path to restoration is outside of national politics. We should be spending our money and effort teaching the young to despise collectivism. Maybe they will have a chance to save themselves.

[GoldenState_Rose]

He could have definitely stayed on for at least a few more months. Gaffe and all.

[dforest]

I am very upset with putting Kelly in charge. This is not a good idea at all. I also believe that McMaster needs the boot quickly. I don’t like any of this.

Trump needs to quit putting swamp things near him.

“like Pence who likely cannot handle the fake media flack”

There is no such thing as fake media. There are only lies. And those lies from the lib media are not based upon new material. They are just used to “chip” away current efforts to hide past screw ups they, and the liberal politicians made, either accidentally or on purpose.

Short list -

liberals - Affordable Care Act

Media - Weapons in the middle east

And these two screw ups, as obvious as they were, are still being blanketed as well as possible today. And the efforts the libs and the media are using are still covering their lies today on those two topics. But that’s the short list. And one easy to understand it is being done. Unless you believe what you are told and not what you see.

Or saw as the weapons thing has been thrown clear out of discussion. And no one has admitted they were there and are still being found. They replaced that one with North Korea. So you won’t hear about that one anymore until someone gets wacked like in Syria.

Now there I disagree with you. The mere presence of Trump has unleashed a wave of progress across the nation and world. Pro life movement is more on fire than ever, religious freedom is being protected , economy is better, illegal immigration is down even without wall, ordinary people in Europe are braver when confronting their globalist overlords, etc...

[GoldenState_Rose]

In fact the gaffe would have only strengthened Mooch and helped put things into perspective for him in the long haul.

[Conserv]

The fool was an undisciplined child.

HE HAD TO GO

[SamAdams76]

At least some people understand what is going on.

The worrywarts here have discredited themselves literally hundreds of times since Trump first jumped into the race in June of 2015.

How many times have we heard some variation on the refrain that "this is the end of Trump?"

How many times have we been told by these same folks that Trump is "in over his head" and "getting played" by others? Remember how Ted Cruz was going to take all his delegates and steal the nomination? Remember how the establishment Republicans were supposedly going to engineer a Mitt Romney/John Kasich ticket? We had to listen to that nonsense for months and all that time, Trump had the nomination well in hand.

Here is Trump at the White House last night...does this seem like a President under siege and out of control? This man knows exactly what he is about.

[Sir Napsalot]

I don’t know, every one of us has his/her own idea of what Trump’s biggest mistake so far is.

But this belongs to General/Chat or Bloggers/Personal section, not “News”.
