Trump has a huge infrastructure plan which will facilitate many partnerships with the business community. Roads, bridges and utilities mean jobs in construction, design, marketing, sales, maintenance — the list never ends.

Both parties should be excited and both should get to work making this happen without letting their worst demons carry on a perennial political brawl.

Which is why the President should have refused to take any questions on Monday and let the people he brought with him answer questions on the infrastructure plan.

You just don’t get it. You don’t understand

The Presidents objective is to control the news cycle all the time. He very effectively does that by making fools of the presstitutes.

I disagree.

If Trump is to succeed in MAGA, there is no higher priority than defeating the MSM.

The MSM serves blatantly and unapologetically as the propaganda ministry for the DNC, and yet, despite this egregious breech of the public trust, it still enjoys such a powerful monopoly that no politician dares to expose the MSM lies by telling the truth, for fear of reprisals in the next day’s news cycle.

With no significant competing dispensary of public information to serve as a fact check on the MSM, it is free to twist, spin and outright lie as it pleases, which it does relentlessly for two purposes: 1) to advance the causes and narratives of its client, the DNC, and 2) to enforce its monopoly by destroying truth tellers.

The Internet, you say? Social media? Perhaps to a degree, but even there, Google, serves as a gatekeeper to the Internet on behalf of the left, and even as we speak, GoDaddy, FB and Twitter are looking for ways to suppress dissent.

No politician dares to tell the truth - except, that is, the President.

If he doesn’t, who will? Of course, when he says something true, like “There are bad people coming across the borders illegally”, or “All lives matter”, or “The MSM is dishonest”, or “Environental regulations are killing jobs”, or “There was violence in Charlottesville on both sides”, they will use their formidable monopoly to punish him for it, as they have been doing.

So, what is the solution, to avoid telling the truth by refusing to take questions? It seems to me that’s what GWB did, he capitulated and let them write fake news without any push back. In return, they would not call him a racist - oh wait, they called him one anyway.

Let’s face it; we need our leader to be a truth teller - that’s exactly why we elected Donald Trump, isn’t it? He showed he had the balls to confront the lying MSM by telling the politically incorrect truth.

What Trump did at that presser was exactly what needs to be done - and yes, it stirred up an angry hornets nest, and yes, he could have avoided some of it by paying the ransom and sticking with the DNC narrative.

Personally, I’ll be forever grateful to this man for picking this fight with the MSM. It’s hard to imagine how he’s going to win against such a formidable enemy, when they get to keep score and write the history, but if he doesn’t even try - where will we be then?
