As President Trump nears his first anniversary in office, he faces an unforgiving political landscape. Every word he says and every action he takes will either help him keep a Republican Congress or hand control to Democrats.
And if Dems get the gavel, impeachment could be the result.
This is the binary world Trump inhabits, and seen through that lens, the uproar over the president’s disparaging remarks about Haiti and other poor countries helps Dems in their goal of hobbling if not ending his presidency.
Despite his denial that he used the words “shithole countries,” most of the media instantly branded him a racist. After a few days of saturation coverage, polls will show a disapproving public and the ritual beatdown will be complete.
Then we’ll be on to the next crisis because this is life with Trump in the White House. He and we are always on the razor’s edge because that’s who he is.
That’s been the pattern for a year, and the president has managed to keep his head above water. But past performance is not a guarantee of future results — especially in an election year when passions against him are already overheating.

Trump’s alleged sh$thole comment was BRILLIANT!
Alinsky: use opponent’s rules against them. Leftist PC correctness bans truthful words which makes them vulnerable to the truth.
Sh$thole immigration is BAD!
We should pay them to come over.
Call it the Incentives For Attractive Women To Immigrate program.
wish i had a dollar every time i said what Trump said...the hard left and the media are upset....every one else remember Kate Steinlen....we shall see...
I approve her citizenship application.
My liberal brother posted something on social media (my wife had to tell me) about how Norway has a large population of Somali, and that Trump is a shithole president.
I did a search, and the PM of Norway (or some high ranking gal in immigration) said that Norway is not for the open borders like Sweden, and only let in something like 2,000 immigrants last year! (Sweden was at 30,000) She said they have to be able to read and write Norwegian. And you can’t beat your children in Norway.
“We are a libertarian party. We want less government, so people should decide more over their own life. And we want a stricter immigration policy because that’s important for Norway in the long run.”
Heh. I might just have to get on Facebook! Although it really isn’t worth it to me to bang heads with my liberal relatives.
More from that article. Ms. Listhaug is in charge of immigration. Maybe when she is done there, Trump can hire her?
Excerpt:
The Norwegian model, she says, is very different and very clear. “If you are an economic migrant, you are declined in Norway,” she says. “We send people back to Afghanistan if they are not in need of protection; we send them back to Somalia if they are not in need of protection.” Isn’t this a rather expensive process? “Yes, but it’s well worth it.” Police are also sent out to areas where illegal immigrants are suspected of living and working. “If we find them, we send them out. That has also decreased crime in Norway, that’s very good.”
I ask Listhaug if she is getting used to being called cruel and heartless. How does it make her feel? Her response comes quickly: ‘I don’t give a damn,’ she says. She thinks her approach is right, and the consensus is wrong. And, as she says, an increasing number of other countries think the same. A new consensus might well be in the making.
My momma said is was best to tell the truth.
Yep...libs can’t help but use vulgartity all of the time because they are a vulgarity themselves.
“The first thing I thought of was those goddess Norwegian women. We need more of those.”
As apposed to Godless liberals in p*ssy hats.
Haiti is described accurately by the President. He is not referring to the people, he is referring to the conditions (aka s&$@?!$e) in which people are forced to live in.
I’m a simple peasant and was able to figure that one out. Your welcome, stupid a&$ fake media.
For those that don’t know, the New York Post is NOT our friend. This guy Goodwin swings from left to right like an old gate. Pay no attention to most of what comes from the New York Post and little to the rest.
I wonder if he even said it. It is Dick Durban who stated it and he is unreliable.
The midterm elections may easily turn into the Mother of all Backfires for the libs.
Not if voter fraud hasn’t been cleaned up by then. They will triple their efforts for sure.
Those who hate him will not vote for him in any event. Those who want the country to be great again, will vote for him.
I hope the left’s deranged insanity leads them to nominate oprah winfrey or lezzy warren - complete wackos with no chance of winning.
Unhinged. That’s the word for it. One can only wonder if the hysteria is a kind of mass panic in anticipation of the DOJ and FBI revelations to come, the recognition that the entire dossier was dishwater thin and a reckoning of disaster dimensions is coming. All this rending of garments over a barnyard word that tells the truth better than any euphemism? Unhinged, indeed.
The political class has absolutely no idea how much they are despised by regular, everyday Americans. None. What. So. Ever.
They also do not understand that the game has changed and they’re still reading out of the old playbook.
