Nope, my undies are not in a twist. I take him at face value. Perhaps you have intimate knowledge of him, and thus know his innermost feelings.
There are some on FR who come down like a ton of bricks on those of us who express some alarm, and they say “Don’t pay attention to what he says, just pay attention to what he does.”
Well, paying attention to what he says got him elected. We believed his words. If we were not supposed to pay attention to that, and believe him, we’d have that banshee Clinton in office today.
Express alarm all you want. You don’t seem to understand that is a big part of this beltway theater performance.
The idea here is to get POTUS reelected. We can’t let the media and Dems outflank him. So that’s why he does this televised stuff and throws out all kinds of ideas that will never happen.
“You don’t seem to understand that is a big part of this beltway theater performance.”
So, we are supposed to be entertained at this “theater,” and give raucous applause to being insulted and offended? He summarily dismissed some of the lawmakers present, of his own party, whom he NEEDS.
We are told that that is just his management style. Well, he’ll be needing their support when the Rats take the House and impeach him; he should not be surprised if that support is not forthcoming. They will gladly opt for Pence over Trump.
