Trump's Biggest Mistake So Far

Posted on 08/03/2017 8:31:38 AM PDT by 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.

I think you’re a fraud. Just my opinion of course.

You may be on to something. As a real estate mogul Trump knows you need tough as nails “closers” to seal the deal. Pence is too nice a guy for that role.

It’s frustrating to watch potty mouth DCN Chairman dropping F bombs publicly and escape unblemished, I’ll admit that. Not to excuse the mooche, but - double standard for sure, out there. .......

I don’t recall Trump calling someone a cocks*ucker.

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.

Who would you have in their places?

I think Mucci was brought in for a single purpose: To fire Priebus, the leaker. Trump would’ve had no end of grief from the Establishment Pubbies if he’d done it, since Priebus was the Establishment mole. But since Mucci did it, and was immediately fired...

It’s way too early for Kelly to get his arms around the leaks. But he only has a few weeks to bring things under control and he needs to start making examples out of people. As in perp walks and prison if they’re leaking classified information.

The leaking coming out at this point is probably still from Priebus, who was privy to pretty much everything. He would’ve had access to the call transcripts back in January that were leaked today, for example.

I don’t think it’s the potty mouth that’s relevant here, it’s the stunningly poor judgment of who he chose to “open up” to....

Otherwise we would need a real revolution to free ourselves from this oligarchy.

They have a problem which is built in to their system. Every young mind they convert to their way of thinking is another life long drain on their resources - which just pushes their system closer to collapse. We don't have to defeat the oligarchs, we just have to outlast them and the long term way to do that is to make sure that our way of thinking still lives in the minds of our young.

Frankly, there is no effective “We” to do any teaching, being oversaturated by enemedia Victimology and Givemedat Lessons.

It isn't that hard to educate our replacements. They have the evidence of history against them and we have the best of Western civilization's political and philosophical thought on our side. In the battle for the mind of a young man or woman all of their media dominance doesn't stand a chance against a few hours of one on one conversation. Young minds are truth seekers - give them a dose and they'll never stop looking for more.

“Scaramouche was indeed great at his one and only press conference, but ended up being scary and unhinged”

His personality would not fit in with a General Kelly Chief of Staff type. Kelly would want discipline.

He referred to female anatomy in a vulgar (albeit slightly less vulgar than Scaramucci) way but honestly neither of the two conversations bothered me in terms of the bigger picture of their character and what they can bring to their positions. Sometimes weaknesses can have corresponding strengths. And the media is playing dirty.

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...

And all of this only lasts as long as Trump is in office. Do you really think that the totally emasculated GOP will continue any of this? The Democrats are organized crime so the GOP has no choice but to be tough as nails, but these patrician wimps don't have it in them. Once Trump moves on - heck, it's happening now with Trump in office - the GOP will just let themselves be rolled by the Democrats and Democrat media.

This administration is utterly chaotic and in disaray.

Yes, Trump has acomplished a great deal in a short time. But he also has tremendous chaos all over the place. Scaramucci was ridiculous. They guy is a lib, 0bama backer and doner and Trump entrusts him with the communications post???? I have no doubt the Mooch was trying to make Trump look bad.

And why is 0bama lover McMaster still in board? It cant be any clearer he is against Trump.

And the leaks. Why hasnt it stopped?

This administration is a laughing stock and there is no way to defend it.
