[Just mythoughts]

Whether it’s a war hero like John McCain, the parents of a war hero like Humayun Khan, or just some morning talk show hosts, Mr. Trump feels the need to retaliate for criticism against him because the criticism against him is almost never benign.

Seriously? Lord McCain a 'war' hero, which one, commander of ISIS or ISIL depending on who is describing his rebels? Minister Khan is stuck on stupid, since Trump had nothing to do with his son's service... Minister Khan was a tool for the wicked witch of the west... Trump does not retaliate, he unmasks these frauds. I hope he uses Obama's hammer on them.

They are bullied by other politicians. And they have always taken the high road. They have always backed down.

I would disagree with the author, in that, I think they back down against the attacks, because most of them are gutless, spineless wimps, not because they are taking the high road.

Love Trump and what he doing and fighting back!

[leaning conservative]

At one point in the race she & Joe fawned over Trump & he would call in every day. They ripped Hillary all the time until they must have gotten word that they were uncool & were ticking off progressives. Then they completely changed their tune.

They played the game & deserve zero sympathy.

We can not spare this man. He fights.

I’m with Trump.

Amen! Too bad the Republicans in congress are all eunuchs.

1. None of our Republican Presidents have done well with taking the beating from the MSM.

2. If I were a foreign head of state and had nefarious plans for the US, his fighting abilities and determination would give me pause. Because this guy, if he were attacked or his country was attacked, would take Cincinatti’s plea as a battle plan: “Cartago delenda est!”.

[BradyLS]

I’m willing to bet Trump would lay off personal tweets if elected Republicans would simply push back against the media with anything like the vigor he does. They don’t have to be “mean” or personal. Just call them out on their BS and counter with facts and simple truth.

Bush took it lying down.

Trump fights fire with fire.

Result: libs cry in their (lite) beer.

Boo hoo.

[AZLiberty]

There is a perfectly legitimate argument to be made that the President of the United States should just sit back and take all attacks and insults hurled his way, even when the magnitude of the attacks is unprecedented.

How did that work out for W?

Go git 'em, President Trump!

[Grampa Dave]

Thanks to OneVike for the above.

[Cubs Fan]

Nothing wrong with hitting back. And that's what Trump is doing.

Bush just sat there and took it and never said a word, Look where that got him...nowhere

I like that trump is a fighter. the libs deserve to be fought. They are barely better than Stalinists these days.

[RitaOK]

I appreciate the writer reminding that Trump never started the malicious remarks. That was made clear during the gazillion debates.

Mika started this. She knows it, and it’s fifteen hours every week. She’s an actress, not an intellectual.

[husky ed]

I like his tweets. The only thing he's distracting is the leftist.

What is unpredented are the attacks from the elite in all forms of media and entertainment upon an elected President and his supporters. Their problem isn’t so much Trump as it is the people who elected him. 8 months later and they are still pitching their fit. In the process they are keeping the base which elected him energized and making Trump an absolute LEGEND.

[Simon Foxx]

To those who say the President should just go “stiff upper lip” and ignore attacks, I submit the following:

“George W. Bush”

That worked REAL well when he tried it, didn’t it?
