Swamp dwellers protect their own.
Even Mitt Romney is being pictured as “good” in comparison to The Donald. The “courageous” positions taken by Dubya in regards to the Trump Doctrine are still not very brave or even original.
Donald J. Trump is having the best time of his life, being king among kings in this world, and he is a remarkably quick study. He did not enter into this rarefied world of high political power with no clue as to the challenges and pitfalls, but has swiftly steered away from a good many of them, frequently by bold and sometimes absolutely astonishing moves that confounded and frankly baffled his rivals, leaving them with their bare faces hanging out. For all the times that his opponents, and yes, enemies, had declared “Trump is done for sure NOW!”, he has rebounded and it becomes obvious to all but the few that Trump was right all along.
Dubya has tried the oblique attack, but his cannonade still falls way short of scoring much against the primal force of nature that is Donald Trump.
Circling the wagons just before circling the drain.
