If you are a frustrated Trumpster, like I am, here is some good news:
First, for your own peace of mind, you all need to accept this reality: We have an emotional sophomore in our White House with terrible speech habits but a genius mind for political strategies and making speech. This duplicitous reality is something most of us are not used to, unless your dad or granddad happens to be me.
Trump has named General John Kelly as his Chief of Staff. I know you all know this, but maybe not this: John Kelly was the general of the entire Southern Command under Barack Obama, an absolute dufus when it came to waging or managing war. Kelly took orders from Barack. Don't you know there were times he was given an order, followed by a brisk walk back to his office, at which time he slammed the door closed and shouted "X@##@, *" . . . . . . right? My point is this: Kelly is used to dealing with civilians telling him what to do. He deals with it and gets the job done. That is his track record.
I do not believe the General will leave his post in frustration.
And look at what has happened. Bannon is gone (because of Kelly), and, the leaks from the WH have all but stopped. Trump still tweets, but, Shirley-don't-you-know, Kelly had to know the boss was going to continue with the tweets . . . . . it is what Trump does for fun. But did Trump name names in that Phoenix speech? Nope. Trump got as close to violating that restriction as he could, like a sophomore might do, but did not name names . . . . . and the press did not have a fit. Apparently, if you don't name names, you can get away with your comments.
One final point: The fact that Trump went from Reince Priebus to Sean Spicer, to Scaramuccie to General Kelly . . . . each man a stronger personality type than his predecessor. Why didn't Trump say, "Screw it, I don't need a Chief of Staff or communications director?" Why? I say, Trump realized that he needs help so he replaces one strong man with another stronger man until he gets to a General who is used to taking orders from a civilian, and - still - getting the job done. Hats off to Trump for not running away from his reality. Talk about genius . . . . the decision to enlist Kelly is just that. I am keeping my fingers crossed . . . . . all two of them on my right hand.
There has never been this level of turnover and mistrust of a president among his own advisors and party this early in an administration in history. Fact.
ReplyDeleteTrump ran as an option to both the Democrats and the Status Quo within the GOP. More than this, Its not "mistrust" that is the issue, moron. It is the fact that he is a disrupter and he is keeping his campaign promises in that regard. He is dismantling the progressive crap that has been institutionalized over the course of the past 40 years, much it against the voice of the people. Your cowardly commit under the name of "anonymous" is only a tribute to the effort of the opposition media and the mentally unstable within the Democrat Party. Take your obsessive/compulsive dialogue somewhere else.

They did the same thing with Goldwater, Reagan and GW. There is no possible diagnosis without one on one consultations with a real psychiatrist according to the APA. Do you not know this?
DeleteThe fact that you have a PhD proves that ANYBODY can get a PhD. You lap up any opposition statement with which you agree, and sadly, you "agree" before you have even read the text. You skip the parts of any article that challenges your thinking while quoting the parts of the same article that seem to support your preconceived conclusions. I mean, how many times have I defeated a claim of yours using the same article? Or do you even remember? You show signs of mental instability, unless, of course, you are simply the most closed minded and biased person I have ever met.
