I’ve twice asked him, what charlatanism, what corruption?
But @filmklassik prefers to just go on chanting his mantra, “charlatanism and corruption, charlatanism and corruption”!
The Democrats have the same problem.
Because Trump is so unusual in trying to keep his promises, they’ve had to attack him for not building 2000 miles of wall, when they’re the ones who kept funding to a trickle and tied him up in court. (And if Mexico isn’t paying for the wall, it is paying for the thousands of troops he forced them to deploy on the border.)
And you will note they are digging for corruption, not in his Presidency, but trying to launch fishing expeditions in his pre-Presidential tax records.
Let me know when you get someone “not disqualified” nominated. Until then, it’s just a pipe dream. And you need to decide which is MOST disqualifying.
Because if Trump isn’t re-elected, it won’t be President Cruz, or President Rubio or President Pence, etc. It will be President ‘woke’ zealotry, and lots more. President Medicare For All, President Socialism, President Green New Deal… and lots more bad stuff. Far worse than “President Charlatan” or whatever.
His words are part of his acts. Sure sometimes he thinks better of his stupid words, but sometimes he loses valuable advisers like Mattis because of his words. He really is clueless when it comes to history and foreign affairs and no amount of business in real estate, whether here or overseas is a substitute. Worse than that is that he refuses to learn from his mistakes. More and more people cannot work with him and he is left with sycophants. This is not good. With every stupid remark the choice becomes less binary and more binate. He really isn’t the man many Trumpers think he is.
They think that because Trump is so awful they can go for the whole enchilada and get everything on their wish list. Sad thing is, they just might. You blame people like me. I blame primary voters.
The only silver lining is that a few years of Democrats telling people how to live and die might just bring us back to President Haley. We will see.
Why? They didn’t seem to learn enough to not re-elect Obama. For one example.
And what good is it to blame primary voters? Why not pretend they don’t even exist, and it makes no difference. There are (in the final analysis) two candidates (that matter) on the ballot. What difference does it make how they came to be there?
Your deep understanding of Donald Trump’s mind, I’m sure, comes from years of perusing the New York Times. [;)] I’m sure you also agreed with the Times when it described Ronald Reagan as a “dunce” whose many successes were on account of his “Irish luck”.
Even before he was elected, Donald Trump understood the world better than any of the leading Democrats: because they are taught by their leftist advisors from academia that the world’s problems are the fault of the United States. (Thus, Obama’s idiotic policies toward Iran and Iraq.)
As he modifies his policies, you can watch Trump learning on the job. For example, after talking to the Border Patrol, he dropped his idea of a 2000-mile wall, and instead proposed to give them what they say they need to control the border.
Vaping, if I’m not mistaken started out being an alternative to helping one quit cigs. I understand 8 people have died thus far….it is sad. However, vaping marijuana is just as popular, how has no one died of this? Or have they?
Kamala, will not go after Warren because she’s wanting to be VP but Warren would be insane to pick her, I just don’t see that happening. Stacey Abrams is probably on Warren’s short list.
Great show, gents!
