“To reiterate: the President of this Constitutional Republic is in the midst of fighting off an overt and ongoing criminal conspiracy—literally an attempted coup—fomented by the Deep State, the Democrat party, and large elements of the GOP itself! Essentially, the entire Establishment Swamp is waging war against We the People, our President, and our entire Constitutional system!”
So doing something that alienates and depresses a huge chunk of his base is going to help fend off the hyenas. Makes absolutely no sense. Whatever power he has comes from us the people who have been his avid supporters. Kicking us in the gut can only accelerate his demise.
And the military thing is just a really lame excuse. There is no urgent military threat and funding new armaments that take decades to build for an increased feminized armed force doesn’t address any urgent threat if there was one in the first place.
The threat that we the people that elected him see as a high and urgent priority is the continued cultural decline of our society as a result of unfettered immigration, government funding of leftist institutions, exploding debt, PC, feminization of the military, etc. In other words it’s the cultural war not the military war.
He instinctively understood and tapped into that anger of ours and got elected. By breaking that trust he dug himself a big hole that at the moment I don’t see how he’s going to dig himself out of before November.
Any "supporter" of President Trump that would abandon him for signing a 6-month spending bill—in the midst of a Deep State coup attempt—is no supporter at all—and never was.
This is the same thing that occurs every time the faithless #NeverTrump crowd comes across a convenient excuse to abandon ship. This was just another opportunity for such self-indulgent ignorance.
There's a coup on, for God's sake! 6-month spending bills pale into insignificance when viewed in that context. Furthermore, the President got his military priorities fully funded—and the US military might very well be needed to negate this coup attempt, methinks.
The GOP will retain the house this November—despite the best efforts of the GOPe and #NeverTrumpers to undermine him.
Anyone who fails to see the big picture here is #NeverTrump incarnate. And I recall you specifically from the 2016 election cycle, #NeverTrumper, so your "analysis" is disingenuous, to say the least.
I daresay that FR doesn't need armchair quarterbacks and second-guessers undermining morale and aiding and abetting the Enemy. But that's for JimRob to decide. Anyone who no longer wants to support the President due to his signing of this bill is simply not keeping things in their proper perspective.
We are at war, and one 6-month spending bill doesn't warrant the abandonment of our Commander in Chief. The President has access to much more information than any of us do, and has shown superb judgement more often than not—he deserves the benefit of the doubt in this case, even if you disagree with him.
To reiterate: we're in the midst of a Deep State coup attempt, for God's sake; the President made a reluctant decision to avoid either a government shutdown or being severely weakened by having his veto overridden. He was visibly angry, and said that he would never again sign such a bill. So he chose the lesser of two evils, and I still trust his political judgement and instincts over the resident Trump-bashing belly-achers—because he has earned that trust a dozen times over during the course of the last two years.
Nobody expects Deplorables to be happy about this bloated piece of crap bill, but abandoning this President for signing a 6-month spending bill—in the middle of a God d-mn coup attempt—is the height of hysterical fear-mongering.
#NeverTrump is as #NeverTrump does...
