Trump May Be Digging Himself in A @#&%hole
New York Post ^ | January 13, 2018 | Michael Godwin

Posted on 01/15/2018 1:38:10 AM PST by BurgessKoch

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. ...

I've been observing this Goodwin guy for years. He's losing his nerve daily.

This demonstrates that most of the media is racist.

Why would the media assume that Haiti is a shithole because of the color of the skin of its population? Only because the media are elitist, bigoted, racist organizations.

And Trump is shinning a bright light on the dark corners were these media cockroaches scurry about, and the all come running out making themselves known.

If Trump is impeached, I would suspect that every President from here on in will be impeached. Politics has gotten that ugly. I am shocked W wasn’t impeached after Clinton was, but it’s over now. Everyone President will be impeached but not leave office. It’s inevitable.

Trump is his own worst enemy.

I support the Trump Agenda 100 percent but the man is a poor standard bearer for that agenda.

He gives his enemies self-destructive political material on a silver platter almost on a daily basis. He is a loose cannon that will destroy himself politically and give the Dims complete control of Congress in 2018.

That being said I realize the Corrupt Liberal Media would savege him constantly regardless of what he says or does, but he makes it easy for them.

“With over half the country needing no more reason than his election to demand his removal, and with many Democrats promising impeachment if they gain power, every mistake is potentially fatal.”

This is the only democrat plan in 2018.

This attitude really bothers me. So what is your suggestion, that he just shuts up? Speaks only "approved" lines?

Given that he never said what he is alleged to have, saying he is his own worst enemy is a premier media falsehood in and of itself. If it wasn’t for his courage and fearlessness, do you believe for 5 seconds we wouldn’t have a totalitarian fascist dictator in the White House today in the form of the Butcheress of Benghazi ? He stands virtually alone against the hordes of hate, exposing the epic-level cowardice in the GOP, borne of decades of hate and abuse inflicted upon them by the depraved and evil media, pop culture, “big Ed” and other various far-left special interest groups.

Of course in this instance it would seem he didn’t even say what was put out there by one known liar, Dick Durbin. But it would appear that even someone such as yourself believes Dick Durbin over Donald Trump and several others. Why?

The alternative to Trump was unacceptable. Trump works very hard. Clinton would have just collected a salary and lots of bribes.

I mean, I supported Cruz in the primary, but I realize that no one, not Cruz or anyone else, was going to be able to survive the blizzard of hate, fraud, and every other evil trick in the book as Trump could. He knows how to play the game and redefine it to his advantage. It’s why I rather dread 2024, because he’s going to be an almost impossible act to follow. Either the new generation of Republicans under him finds their balls and fights back like he has, or they’ll go back to the cowardly gutless weasels they’ve been for decades since the New Deal Era.

So much of the media crying fascism and communism shows that they cannot be taken seriously, much less taken at their own word.

They cry fascism and communism because that’s what they want for everybody. One party rule will make it happen. These jackasses really believe they know what’s good for you better than you do, and in their screwed up minds they’re never wrong.

It would not matter if he never said a word..they would attack in mass being the Left..so in my opinion he is NOT saying enough!
