Ric Grenell decries D.C. 'feeding frenzy' on Trump President a 'non-politician' being judged by Washington standards

Amid a wave of resignations, onetime ambassador to Germany and acting director of national intelligence came to the defense of his former boss on Friday, arguing the "feeding frenzy" is mostly confined to Washington.

Trump is being judged by the Washington establishment's standard of what makes a good politician, he told Neil Cavuto in a Fox Business interview, and Trump is not a politician.

"I think there is a little bit of a feeding frenzy in Washington, and I just don't see it outside of Washington," he said.

About a dozen top- or mid-level administration officials have resigned this week, including Education Secretary Betsy DeVoss and Transporation Secretary Elaine Chao.

Grenell said he hasn't spoken with any of them and doesn't know their reasons but said he's "very proud of all the work that the Trump administration has done."

"I think that this president has done amazing work," he said. "I think his policies will live for a long time."

Oh, it was on cavuto's show. No wonder most of us missed it. Thanks for standing strong and continuing to support PDJT Ric. At least it appears that you still support him and his policies. As for his policies living a long time, I have my doubts the new cabal will want ANYTHING he accomplished to stand. Regardless of correctness.

Washington has no standards. Its all about serving their own interests. Our government is thoroughly corrupt.

I saw this interview. Grenell did a great job. Cavuto behaved just like the a**hole that he is.

Cavuto even asked Grenell that perhaps Trump caused the loss of the election in Louisiana.

At one point, Cavuto interrupted Grennell and to his credit Grenell held up his hand and told Cavuto to hold on a minute.

I can’t stand Cavuto, who is trying to be something he isn’t....which is a great journalist.

Grenell hit the nail right on the head. To politicians and deep state, a non-politician is a threat and considered their enemy

Washington standards: Lies, theft, fraud, and murder.

Frauds, fakes, phonies, and frogs.

And to bring up a related point that I have posted on other threads but has never been answered - Has anybody seen Schifty Schiff since Christmas Eve? Does anyone here really believe he could keep his sewer hole shut about the events of this past week?

Grenell is right. Whores don’t like it when a pretty girl sashays thru their sleazy neighborhood, turning heads.

Animal House meets Trumpism is being hyped up as the storming of the Bastille. When they stormed the Bastille, they weren't lifting tchotchkes and taking selfies of themselves scratching their balls. Or dressing themselves up like Indian shamans:

It’s getting to be a small club, isn’t it? I’m trying to go right by all the reading about “politicians” who are screaming bloody murder over recent incidents. People I WOULD NOT have suspected to stab the president in the back. He may or may not be surprised at the number, I don’t know.

Rick Grenell is a standup guy and it shows in his every appearance on TV. I don’t know why he was “acting director” of ANYTHING and not fully in charge at DNI.

We’re going to see such a convergence of old political hacks coming into the new administration that it will make us scream!

So-so-so-so glad that the president is not going to be at the inaugural.. Now I need to hear that the Trumps will not invite the Bidens to the WH before the inaugural. That would be an awful bitter pill to swallow for the Trumps. The idiots are not going to stop complaining anyway so just add another complaint to their list and hope they choke!!!

The Clintons and obozos can sit with the Bushes and praise the speech just like they did for President Trump - AS IF!!!

Salem witch trials were based on a similar type of hysteria whipped up by those feeding off of attention and power.

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

Kind of like Omar Little on ‘The Wire’

He is testifying against a drug dealer and admits to the lawyer that he robs drug dealers of their product and money.

The lawyer points out what a lowlife he is and is raking him through the coals and when the lawyer ‘finishes with a flourish’ facing the jury with a triumphant sneer,
Omar says
hold on. You and me make our money the same way.
Only difference is I use a shotgun, you use a law book and wear a suit...the lawyer turned around - stunned - and about to speak and they cut to the judge who was grinning...

Yup. Thus the assault on PDJT. A ‘teachable moment’ for anyone foolish enough to try this ever again that isn’t accepted as part of the club. Don’t even think about it!

Great series minus a certain aspect. Which, like most cases, and it seems like hardly a show goes by without it anymore, does NOT add to the story line other than ‘their’ push the “normalcy” of it. Which ain’t a plus in my view. Surely you know what I mean if you watched the entire series. Perhaps that is one of the many reasons we could be being taught a lesson by someone of Higher Authority?

Looks like we’re finding out who Trump’s true friends are. Grenell is a class act.

The Dems are trying to make sure that he doesn't run in 2024. You watch...there will be a resolution to prevent him from holding political office. They know the impeachment gig is just a load of crap and will go nowhere.

Let's see what the Ice Cream Baroness does.
