Trump just keeps on confounding his hapless detractors
The Hill ^ | 2 July 2018 | MONICA CROWLEY

Posted on 07/02/2018 11:32:08 AM PDT by Magnatron

The left, much of the media and countless other opponents of President Trump have led a relentless, vicious, multi-pronged and often dishonest assault on him and his agenda since he first emerged as a presidential candidate in 2015. This assault, ramped up significantly during his presidency, has taken many forms: an apparently endless special counsel investigation, constant protests, bureaucratic stonewalling, “Deep State” leaking, continuous lawsuits, manufactured crises and outrage, daily media pounding and often false reporting, smears, personal attacks and abusive, even violent acts targeting his staff and supporters — all designed to cripple his ability to govern effectively.

While Trump’s adversaries have been busy trying to execute their rolling putsch, however, the American people have been busy doing something else: supporting him and his policies. Instead of denting Trump, the perpetual outrage machine is creating the exact opposite dynamic.

The proof is in a stunning new Harvard CAPS/Harris poll just released and conducted after the family-separation issue exploded along the U.S.-Mexico border. Trump now enjoys 47 percent job approval, up 2 points from May. This is remarkable given the constant drumbeat of negative coverage, and it demonstrates yet again his uncanny ability to defy the laws of political gravity. When President Reagan and his policies remained popular in the face of never-ending criticism, he became known as the “Teflon president.” Trump is Teflon on steroids.

This is truly an historic presidency on so many levels. And while the media hyperventilates, they are missing out on one of the greatest events in the past 100 years.

Trump — 47% with constant drumbeat of negative coverage
Obama — 45% with fawning, servile, ass-kissing coverage and nothing ever bad said about him

If Trump had Obama’s press, he’d be at 80% approval.

I used to call Obama the Flubber President.

Things didn’t just roll off Obama, they bounced off him and accelerated in the opposite direction.

Of course, he had the full time assistance and support of the DNC Media which POTUS Trump has never and will never have.

Therefore, POTUS Trump is really the Flubber President. He stands alone against the Rats and the RINO’s.

President Trump is on the side of the citizens and the rule of law.

We had FOUR in a row that were not.

They had planed that we never would again.

THAT’S why they hate him so much.

We weren’t supposed to be able to keep our country.

You can’t go wrong seeking God’s wisdom and direction as well as promoting truth and justice.

1. Trump isn't a politician.

2. Trump isn't for sale to the special interests (he can't be bought).

3. Since the media disapproved of Trump originally, they can't destroy him after the fact.

No, but I will admit that a couple of times last week I had to sit down because I was dizzy from it.

Journalist Selena Zito summed up President Trump's 2016 presidential campaign this way:

  • The press takes Trump literally, but not seriously.

  • His supporters take him seriously, but not literally.

Almost sounds like a “Teflon Don.”

4. Trump is a businessman (not all non-politicians are).

“Trump isn’t a politician”. Thats also why he doesn’t collapse like a wet noodle over political correctness. MS-13 are most definitely, animals. Other illegal aliens are rapists, coyotes, drug smugglers, and some would make fine U.S. citizens.
