Trump is a sharp businessman, but not infallible. He’s great at recovering from errors, but he has made them both in his career and during the campaign. I also don’t see his top confederates taking the approach described in the article. If Sessions would allow himself to be portrayed as an incompetent boob by Trump publicly, I’d be surprised.
I do appreciate the writer throwing the idea out there for discussion.
As the author of the article developed his argument, I wondered the dame. Where is a majority of such confederates that could/predictably would prevent a broad attempt to remove him from office?
Well, one might start with Pence, but where does one go from there back into the swamp to find Trump loyalists there?
I agree with you completely.
The idea that two independent Trump nominations to the most important parts of his administration immediately acted in tandem to undermine his presidency is not believable.Sure it is. The author misses the simplest explanation of all. Nearly every establishment Republican was against Trump. Simply by jumping on the Trump train early, Sessions became the inside man -- the Trojan horse. Trump naively appointed Sessions because he thought Sessions was loyal. We now know that both establishment Republicans and the Democrat campaign invented the Russia collusion story and used it immediately after the election to box Trump in. Sessions is the person who executed the boxing in.
The mainstream media are forced to black it out.
The media are not FORCED to do anything. They want to bring Trump down as much as do the Dems and the never Trumpers.
Simple explanations are always best.
Yes, and the best explanation in this instance is what we already know. Republicans and Democrats were working behind the scenes to first try to stop Trump, and when that failed, to try to box him in and control him. The Dems want to go further and impeach him on any excuse.
> If Sessions would allow himself to be portrayed as an incompetent boob by Trump publicly, I’d be surprised.
If the storm comes off as planned, then Sessions would no longer be treated as a boob, but as one of the greatest Attorneys General in history.
Sessions does not have a narcissistic character, which makes it more likely that he would allow himself to be portrayed as lazy in an elaborate scheme to get the swamp ready for draining.
