Folks, when it comes to Trump we’ve never seen someone like this in the White House. This will call for a whole new set of guidelines when it comes to criticism.
No, I do not mean that he gets a pass when policy starts to go South. What I mean is, we have to let that policy go South before we complain. Why?
The Last Republican president we had, was not a man to push strong Conservatism. His management style, if you could call it that, was nothing like Trump’s. He wouldn’t defend himself or our ideals. Trump will do both, with vigor.
Did Bush have a super agenda he was going to push, or was he sort of a marginal good guy what was going to go along to get along, in a way..., but not fully. I admit that.
You see, because of the Bush/Gore fight for the office in Florida, Bush felt compelled to give in a bit, offer concessions, and be sensitive to the Democrat’s feelings.
Hey, I know. It was a mistake. Live and learn. The fact is, Bush wasn’t a full on alpha male. We’ve talked about this time and again. He just wasn’t.
So Bush was nothing like Trump.
Trump is a CEO’s CEO. The man has drive Bush never had. He’s willing to say what he wants. He’s willing to work to achieve it. He’s willing to fight for it.
Trump is not a politician. He has been a CEO for close to 40 years. He operates like one. It is who he is. It’s his nature.
He sets a goal and strives to achieve it. He doesn’t look at Rs and Ds like we do. He looks for administrators. He looks for people who can take on his agenda and drive it forward.
So the danger of a swishy moderate in a Bush administration, isn’t the same as a swishy moderate in Trump’s.
Bush seemed to be led around by the nose at times, by his swishy moderates. Trump will not be.
Trump has his agenda. He will set the goal. He will be checking to see how it’s coming along, and if it isn’t the swishy moderate will be drop kicked to Baltimore. A new administrator will be hired, one that will know what is expected or else.
This isn’t your, your father, or your grandfather’s type of President.
This guy isn’t going to play by the old playbook. It’s result he wants, and he doesn’t care if it’s a Mitt Romney, as long as his goal is achieved.
How do you fault a guy like this, before he starts to falter? You can’t.
We have to give him the freedom to do things his way, and then judge by his deeds, achievements.
I know this is taxing, because I myself am having to check myself using my old standards of judging if danger is just ahead.
I wouldn’t let Romney anywhere near an administration of mine. Trump however may, and if he does, Romney will do exactly as asked. I believe this.
Trump comes in on time and under budget. It’s his hallmark. Anyone who can’t live by this motto of Trump’s, is in for a big surprise.
So we wait. We watch. We learn along with the best of them.
Trump is a different kind of animal.
He doesn’t need to be tamed. He’s going to break the wild horse that is Washington, and we’ll get to stand around the corral and watch him do it.
We won’t tell him why to do it, when to do it, or how to do it. He knows.
This is going to be worth many times the price of admission folks.
Be patient. I know it’s hard. It is for me too.
+2 on your comments DoughtOne. I agree, Trump isn’t a typical politician. I can wait and see what happens.
Good analysis. Trump is indeed different from every President before him. This is a whole new ball game.
Trump is Trump. That sounds trite, but it is a fact. How Trump got to be where he is in his field takes savvy and creative thinking. I am not on par with Trump in business acumen. I leave the experts in their fields do what they do. Whoever Trump chooses, I am sure that he will make it clear to them what he wants, and it’ll be up to them to achieve the goals that the Boss sets. If they don’t, well....there is the line spoken many times: “You’re fired”.
Once again you have awed me with your uncommon sense. YOU should be up there helping.
Great post!
I’m thinking Romney’s for Sec of State to put him overseas and manageable much like Obama did Hillary. Hopefully Mittens will be competent and not get people killed.
Nice analysis. In a nutshell, I think he’s playing these fanooks and plans to use their living, yellow guts to grease his tank’s tracks next year.
The first few months will be like the closing scenes of ‘The Godfather’.
Completely disagree. Romney set himself apart form any previous Republican Presidential candidate and went full court press against Trump day after day, month after month.
In FACT, Romney was one of Trump's worst critics, including the left critics. Romney went out of his way to take out Trump, when he NEVER went against Hillary Clinton. It wasn't as if Romney was neutral, or as if he spent equal time bashing both Trump and Clinton. No. Instead he spent ALL of his time bashing Trump. He DID NOT VOTE for Trump in the primary or the general election.
There is NO WAY Romney will do Trump's bidding long term. Why? Deep down, Romney will never get over the fact that Trump was more popular with the electorate and secretly on a personal level hopes Trump fails.
Romney went OVERBOARD like no other modern day politician in his efforts to take out Trump on behalf of himself and on behalf of his second family, the Bush family.
Romney cannot be trusted. Rudy should be appointed as Secretary of State. We are not interested in a Romney trial run thinking Trump could tell him “You're Fired”
Romney should never be HIRED to begin with, let alone fired.
If Trump pick Romney for SoS, it will be his worst decision to date. Romney will soak up the attention and he and his surrogates will be a mole for the Rinos day in and day out. While Romney and his ego cannot help themselves and secretly want Trump to fail because they are jealous, Romney's SURROGATES are even worse in their desire to see Trump fail on account of their support for Romney. This is personal for Romney. He is devastated that America and all those blue states voted for Trump over him. That is a fact.
