Michael Wolff on Trump—”Every Time You Speak to Him, You Think: This is a Wingnut”
FinkelBlog ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 01/08/2018 6:01:03 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

It’s not exactly breaking news that Michael Wolff believes that Donald Trump is unfit to be President of the United States. That’s the entire thrust of his “Fire and Fury.”

But appearing on Morning Joe today, Wolff used a colorful phrase in describing Trump, one that epitomized his low opinion the man. Asked by Joe Scarborough whether Trump was “mentally fit” to be president, Wolff responded:

“Every time you speak to him, you think: this is a wingnut. There is something really alarming in ways that you cannot even begin to describe. It’s like you’re riveted to the seat.”

Yep. Our ‘wingnut’ beat out 17 (?) candidates (even MY AWESOME Governor, Scott Walker!) and then beat ‘She Who Shall Not Be Named’ to a bloody PULP in debates, then went on to WIN our last election for President...’on my first try!’

He’s THAT dumb! :)

*SNORT*

It is called charisma.

Trump used it to build an empire.

“””Wolff responded: “Every time you speak to him, you think: this is a wingnut. There is something really alarming in ways that you cannot even begin to describe.”””


Notice how Wolff says: “Every time you SPEAK TO him”? Wolff did not say: “Every time you CONVERSE WITH him.”

Well, any of us at anytime can SPEAK TO Trump, just as Wolff does. And like any of us, Trump is not anywhere nearby as Wolff was SPEAKING TO Trump.

Methinks Wolff is the one projecting himself as being the wingnut.

“wingnut”

The curious thing about that phrase is that the Left uses it frequently as an epithet for Right-leaning opponents ... but utterly fail to realize there’s a Left “wing” with its own “nuts”.

Many of the accounts of what has happened in the Trump White House are in conflict with one another; many, in Trumpian fashion, are baldly untrue. Those conflicts, and that looseness with the truth, if not with reality itself, are an elemental thread of the book. Sometimes I have let the players offer their versions, in turn allowing the reader to judge them. In other instances I have, through a consistency in accounts and through sources I have come to trust,

DONALD TRUMP IS NUTS!

He is nuts about growing the economy.

He is nuts about national security.

He is nuts about enforcing the immigration laws.

He is nuts about this country.

Feel free to add to the list.

Sometimes you are better off letting the left just go out and be themselves. It betrays who they really are and what they truly stand for. This guy Wolf comes across as a guy who has his picture on one of this registered “sexual offender” apps. That is before he opens his mouth to speak.

It’s all creepy and alarming on a larger scale. The left changed the definition of racism to mean “behavior exhibited by anyone who disagrees with the left wing agenda”. Now, basically, they have the changed the definition of “mentally unstable/incompetent” to mean “those who dare to not be controlled by the left wing” or “ those who dare to fight the authority of the left wing/elite ruling class.”

How very Soviet of them. Next step, mental hospitals (and subsequent loss of rights) for all those “judged” mentally unstable.

If you are a leftist/elitist what you believe in is what is. All else is what isn’t and must be crazy or illegal. End of debate, end of liberty.

We had a Chief Petty Officer who took it upon himself to assign nicknames to people...after someone nicknamed him “Chief Muddy Waters” due to his constant use of Red Man Chew, and the never-ending stream of brown spit from his mouth!

There was a guy whose name began with “Wi” and even though only 26 years old at the time, was nearly bald, and had big ears, so...the Chief named him “Wingnut”!

Now, the fellow hated the name, but...it stuck. The lesson I learned from that is, if you are going to get a nickname given to you, you hope it is a good one, because it is almost always going to stick!

Hope you don’t get one like “Stinky” or “Dirtbag”! I was lucky, I got one that some people probably would have hated, but it was given with some degree of humor, so...I couldn’t complain! (Besides, it didn’t stick with others for the most part, so only he and a few others called me by it)

I have always been fascinated by the concept of how people get nicknames...

Wolf and the media want a president that is the best and the brightest, which to them means the person who academia can admire the most.... a person who can sit and think .. and think.. and think.

Trump is a man of action. When he sees something that needs to be done, he does it. He does not study it.

Intelligentsia can never understand people of action, no matter how smart they are and how much they study and research it and write and read thesis on it.
