As was suggested in some other news source, Trump should be able to clear all of this up with a few phone calls but hasn’t. The question is “Why not?” In any event, it is a distraction and one that’s not really distracting his enemies all that much, as has also been suggested. That he’s taking no steps to end it all doesn’t bode well and may be emboldening his enemies. I am also not pleased that he’s publically trying to spank the Freedom Caucus.
A few phone calls to whom, and about what, exactly?
How many of the FC are NeverTrumpers?
“A few phone calls”? What news sources dismiss this sedition and Trump’s uncovering of it in this manner? Could you elucidate who he should call, what he should say and how this would clear up anything?
“Not distracting his enemies”? Notice the sound of crickets from the usual sources, all of them now criticizing process or pounding tables? Babbling looping rants is not evidence of “No distraction”. It is the sound of desperation.
I’m sure you will let us know when Trump achieves the *news sources’* level of brilliance.
Remember Dubya and the way he dragged out the whole question whether he ever took cocaine? Same thing. It’s a decoy to drive them nuts. True, they already are nuts, but they have to be making angry chimp noises to scare people away nuts. Remember the Wellstone memorial? That kind of nuts. It’s working.
