“You see when they talk about me, I seem to be very popular, at least this week within the party.”

I worry when he says things like this. As a conservative, you can either be effective or popular.

You cannot be both.

Even Ronald Reagan, as skilled as he was with dealing with his adversaries, the establishment Uniparty and their media hacks, they hated him till the day he left office.

Trump has none of Reagan’s natural likeability. In fact, he’s pretty much on the opposite end of that spectrum. He’s a hard-driving self promoter with super-charged New York style affect and frankness.

As long the people like what he’s doing, all the rest will all take care of itself. And as long as the left continues to run around screaming at his every breath as if their heads were exploding, the way they are now, we know he’s doing a good job for us.

President Trump is daring to do what no politician would dare to do...cleaning out the piggy back programs of Bureaucratic cronyism that waste money, does nothing for the citizens of America...we pay an army of Bureaucrats who do nothing...they make up an enormous part of the over employed and over paid government employment system (for votes)....far from President Trump’s proposed budget being “draconian” in fact that description is from someone who’s ox is being gored. You can expect words like that from the liberal Left for the next 8 years.

I completely disagree with that statement, almost everyone whose ever met Mr. Trump say he's extremely personable.

Trump chooses not to be friendly when it suits his purpose, but there's no question he has natural likability. He wouldn't be where he is today without it.
