It’s easy to attack me. I’m used to it, but ask yourself this question, (that I hate to ask:) If the tactics/statements continue as they did this week, where will his public support be in a month, three months?
Ask yourself this question as well, If you were to question 100 Americans tonight, and ask them one thing about Mr. Trump, would they mention Korea, or the statements about Charlottesville?
re: Gen Kelly: Ask yourself this question. Had you been a senior military or business leader and were asked to take the position of COS for a Fortune 20 company, and an absolute condition of your taking the job was that the controversial president of the company not make any more tweets or un-thought out public statements, and by taking the job, your reputation was irrevocably tied to that corporate president, and withing 2 weeks, he was back at his tweets and uncontrolled statements again, would you resign?
I learned in Law that even when we did a great job, and had a great case, nothing could protect us from certain clients.
Please understand, I want our President and his policies to succeed. I want that desperately. Unfortunately, our Ship of State is headed for the rocks, and our Captain needs to alter the way he is “communicating” with the “crew”... or we will hit the rocks.
There's been all kinds of articles and posts about his poll numberss going up recently, but you're not here to read those obviously. My guess is that his firm statement that BOTH sides are to blame in this incident will be recognized as the truth by most Americans, not the endless media narrative that he is a total buffoon and disgrace that you are supporting.

Neither, they've turned the media noise off, but since you're in the beltway you don't know that. What most Americans see is the border being secured, the stock market going up, and even retail sales going up. While you're glued to the boob tube more in real America are cutting the cord.
re: Gen Kelly..
Bizarre pretzel of a question attempting to support your clearly unsubstantiated and purposefully destructive claims regarding the mindset of the new CoS.
Please understand, I want our President and his policies to succeed.
Sorry, but based on your posting history and constant conflicts with FReepers including again on this thread, you're simply not believable. Most evidence indicates you're simply a long winded disruptor, who thinks they're a lot smarter than they actually come off, since no one is falling for your pleas. Seen much better, many times.
I get all that. I studied Law too. Big deal.
It doesn’t matter what Trump says or does, the media/progressives/anti-trumpers/race baiters/etc. will never even give him an inch even when he’s right most of the time.
We know this. It hasn’t worked in the past and it sure as hell won’t work now in our current environment. It’s time to fight back. This is why he won. The non stop Trump bashing by the media works on those who didn’t really support him anyway. It’s not changing the minds of those of us who supported and continue to support him.
He was “done” so many times according to the liberal and conservative media since his first announcement to run for POTUS and he still won the Primary and General.
He wasn’t “done” then and he isn’t “done” now and I am grateful he isn’t listening to all these armchair quarterbacks.
