Is Trump smarter than all of the people going after him?
Eric
I think he is like Bruce Lee in the mandatory crowd fight scene. You know, two or three dozen foes, against one man. Yet, the skill set, at least on the movie set, is a lot of work, but successful.
Who isn't after Trump? Most of them are like the pests, they hide in the darkness and make life miserable. Some are out in the open, or someone has turned the lights on them. The latter can be dealt with, but the former is the challenge.
The success of the modern day, last 100 years, politicians is not measured in contributions to the US or the American people, but to their powerful financial &political backers. While an army travels on their stomachs, politicians travel on the backs of scorpions.
Trump is not a politicians per se, but he has been around and in politics his entire career. NYC has changed little over the years. If you want to do something or get something built there, you have to play politics. These are tough politics, and like Hollywood if you want to work there, you better be RED.
So to answer your ?, we have to approach the Trump presidency like building a skyscraper. You have to spend the most time and effort building a foundation. Until that foundation is set, you don't really see the building. But, if the foundation is faulty, so will anything that you build on it.
The Swamp as Trump calls it is still making the foundation site like quicksand. The swamp didn't get filled overnight, and it won't be drained in the first year.
At this point, it is hard to tell who are the smart ones, but taking a sampling today, it doesn't look like Trump is dumb. Consider it like a game of Texas Holdem, we only see the initial overturned cards.
The left and the MSM are bluffing, and Trump has the edge because they have divulged their strategy, while Trump is tweeting them in opposition.
The liberals are suffering from PTDS. Post Trump Defeat Syndrome. They are afraid of everything he does. It reminds me of being out on the desert and having a snake sneak up on you. You have your "gun", and the startle has left you without fine motor control. You point the gun at the snake, and fire until there are no more bullets. The dust literally clears, and surprise the snake is still there. It may have jumped several feet while the shooting was going on, but look at the situation now. You are out of bullets, the snake is not out of fangs and venom.
Look at all the bullets that the left have shot in the previous year, and yet Trump is still standing.
'Nobody could be that good at politics, could they?' that seems like a wishful-thinking thing to say when you know dang well fivish measley months doesn't mean squat. Perhaps Comey's coming testimony has you worried... It should.
Did you HEAR what Brennan had to say during the hearings in the Senate?!! Do you understand that Trump firing Comey at the TIMING he did dumps more suspicion on him?
Why does it seem like only MODERATES care about this country?!! What the Russians tried to do intentionally meddling in our election by HACKING into our systems is an ACT OF WAR that I, for one, am not willing to simply 'brush off' because T-fans are starting to see clouds of doom forming over their potus. We all know that many of you are as daft & childish as Trump - and are ready to grab your guns, again. RELAX, there is a PROCESS that we are going through.
It is entirely possible that Russia tried to use Trump somehow - through people affiliated with him or his campaign - WITHOUT his knowledge. If Trump and the GOP had been as concerned about Russia's interferance from the beginning as they SHOULD have been - I doubt the suspicions around him would be this strong. For all we know, the GOP foundation worked with the Russians to HELP get Trump elected so that they could have their way with the country later - after they made sure he was booted. They sure as hell were not going to win the election with a decent candidate based on their policies.
Yeah, its a bit of a conspiracy theory... But, I have been suspicious from the beginning about HOW & WHY the OLD divisions between Americans have been cultivated to go as deep & wide as possible. Across the world, this kind of 'dividing' has been INTENTIONAL - and smart people like you and I, Eric (well, you're usually smart) are the ones who need to build bridges instead of continuing to blow them up.
As a Moderate, I feel confident in speaking on behalf of most of us when I say that this election has been the most difficult for us - because its like watching two siblings who are really mad at each other fight, while not being able to do much about it. However, now that the partisans have had their fun - if the country is still standing by the time the fight is over - I have every confidence that we'll get it back. And I'm not the only one who feels that way: http://www.independent.co.uk/voices/tru … 52026.html
