...The latest example of Trump's shadow presidency came Wednesday, when The Washington Post reported that Trump had spoken with several of the family members of those killed by a suicide bomber in the final days of American military involvement in Afghanistan....

..."Trump has criticized the way the Afghanistan withdrawal was handled...Trump has been briefed recently by former officials, including former CIA director and secretary of state Mike Pompeo...Trump even sent out a statement -- via his Save America PAC...

,,,It's hard to overstate what a break that sort of behavior is from the way past presidents have comported themselves...

FTA: “”Rather than issuing a call for unity after a hard-fought race — a la Al Gore following the lengthy recount in the 2000 presidential contest””

Main difference: 2000 — Even Al Gore knew he had lost Florida early on. No amount of squint-eyed analysis of hanging and dimpled chads could refute that fact.

So, are these frauds saying that somehow Trump is taking back power from the Wooden headed Ventriloquist’s dummy? Perhaps they can explain how? Isn’t this the very nature of politics these days?

Democrats are not above any kind of sabotage or treachery, as long as it is anti American. So... seems different when the shoe is perceived to be on the other foot, does it not?

Yet, nothing Trump is doing matches the Democrats in perfidy and corruption. Like the contemptible and paranoid conspirators the are, Democrats are worriedly looking over their shoulders.

CNN is an enemy of all mankind. And so is the Democrat Party.

If I recall correctly the families reached out to him. What's Trump supposed to do? Ignore them?

I used to wonder why the Left would want to put such a weak and clueless old man in the White House.

Now I’m starting to see the genius of it.

He has no backbone.
He has no shame.

Past misdeeds can be forgiven because he’s not the same man.
Present misdeeds can be forgiven because his mind is obviously gone.

He is the perfect puppet.
