Trump is losing it

He is frothing at the mouth at everything and anything he sees. He needs a vacation and for somebody to bust his tweeter thing. Trump could be very effective if he would just cool his jets. If he does not he will destroy himself. The office is too big to carry on like a bull in a China shop for 18 hours a day.

    Really?

    What evidence do you have that is not generated by the fake new organizations?

    I see that he is doing a really effective job, given the resistance he is against.

    Meanwhile "back at the ranch"

    We have passed a tax bill
    Increased employment to record levels
    Stiffened our foreign relations spine
    Etc. Etc. Etc.

    While they are busy worrying about who Trump slept with or paid off to keep quiet about it, and which of his minions they can prosecute for infractions that are so minimum Hillary and Obama's criminals have to be laughing about them.

    Remember Holder provided guns to Mexican criminals that were used to kill a Fed.

    Hillary destroyed subpoenaed Emails and Obama's tainted Justice department used bogus info to snoop on Trump and uncover evidence that they would never have gotten using legal means.

    Especially when they publish "anonymous" might as well be completely manufactured OP/Eds...OP/EDs are such because those that opine put their name to it. Dishonest reporters, reporting things said off the record etc...smells of propaganda to elicit a response from the White House.

    I honestly don?t know how PRESIDENT TRUMP gets as much GOOD WORK for the country done as he does with all the manufactured propaganda and distractions.

    But I did enjoy the article I read over the weekend indicating the Red Hen resteraunt was a bit down on its luck after the Sara Sanders incident.

    The story (editorial) may or may not be from a Senior Member that is true. Trumps reaction to these stories is the issue, not the story, not the tone or subject matter of the story. It is President Trump's lashing attacks over every possible slight he sees.

    What the media is doing is easy to understand. It is like a woman that knows what your push buttons are. She will use them as a weapon against you, if you let her. The more you react, the more you lose. Those buttons only have value if you react the way she expects.

    The media is no different. They got Trump by the tail and are pulling as hard as they can. Trump reacts just like they know he will, he is predictable by now. He lashes out and sounds like a * over 1/2 the time the other times they help him look like a fool. He needs to stop reacting tot he bait. Soon the media will learn that pulling his tail does not get the reaction from him they are paying for and look elsewhere for their sensational headlines.

    You don't get it either. Eff the NY Times, I agree wholeheartedly. It is Trumps reaction to this stuff that is the issue. The story is from THE BLAZE and is showing Trumps reaction to an editorial.

    I don't want "presidential", that is how we got into this mess in the first place. He's a president for the people and he has a right to tout his accomplishments, and if the only airtime he can get is this way, so be it.

    The media won't cover his accomplishments, so they are playing right into Trumps taunting them.

    He wasn't steaming, stuttering or anything but gaining even more support for himself and hatred towards that media outlet who printed derogatory commentary anonymously.

    The lying filthy partisan media is in a full out war to destroy Trump.
    These people are hate filled DEMOCRATs and can never be trusted.

    This is the same media that was bought into both the Omarosa and Wolfe books as gospel and later proved to be fiction. Now along comes the Woodward book and the media are once again frothing at the mouth thinking they found another silver bullet. BTW, Woodwards book is being discredited but you have to go to Breitbart or Drudge to read about it.

    I am glad you feel that way however middle of the road people don't like it and I sure as hell don't either. In life you need to learn an important lesson.

    Yeah- who ever heard of a sitting President responding to an newspaper editorial like THIS:

    Mr. Hume:
    I've just read your lousy review of Margaret's concert. I've come to the conclusion that you are an "eight ulcer man on four ulcer pay."
    It seems to me that you are a frustrated old man who wishes he could have been successful. When you write such poppy-cock as was in the back section of the paper you work for it shows conclusively that you're off the beam and at least four of your ulcers are at work.
    Some day I hope to meet you. When that happens you'll need a new nose, a lot of beefsteak for black eyes, and perhaps a supporter below!
    Pegler, a gutter snipe, is a gentleman alongside you. I hope you'll accept that statement as a worse insult than a reflection on your ancestry.


    BTW, THAT one was signed Harry Truman.

    If he indeed went off on the Press, bully for him.... They deserve to have him go off on them....

    I'm truly sick and tired of hearing people like you downgrade him because he sticks up for himself against those bullies...

    You make it sound like he is deranged and flailing like many of the snowflake vids when he won.

    I fully expected to see some rant by the way your presented this, then I watched the video and it all made sense.

    The media outlet endorsed or propagated the opinion piece. He needed to correct the infraction in the moment. He did, and was quite composed as he did, he actually seem to almost do some grandstanding, hardly a meltdown or losing it.

    I think his success might be getting to his head, based on his 2020 statement. I fully believe Oprah could win if she ran. Hell, I might even vote for her.

    I contemplated this a bit and the fact that she promoted and endorsed a "fictional" book I like (Pillars of the Earth), lends me to believe that her head is in the right spot on how the world works. She is a billionaire too, so she earned her spot.

    bpost knows nothing but negative. Trump is doing a great job. He has a lot of faults but his accomplishments beat any other president in the last 50 years. I for one am tired of smooth talking do nothing traitors to the working class. Trump will be re elected by a landslide in 2020 no matter who runs against him. Twitter or no twitter. Obama was a damned traitor and nobody cared or had the guts to say so. I don't care what Trump says it's what he does that counts. Wise up Bpost.

    I defend him when talking with foreigners who would disparage my President. Foreigners seemed to have loved Obama, so such a defense was not necessary during his failed terms, but I would have found a way to support President Obama as well.

    I tell US folks who would disparage my President that he is doing better than I had expected. I also let them know how much better he is doing than Clinton could have ever hoped.

    I am not a fan at all when Trump resorts to childish antics; something he does way too often. In this case, however, he is understandably angry and I have no issue with him showing emotion. The video I've seen of him regarding this seems remarkably measured, IMO, considering he has just been stabbed in the back by someone he presumably trusted.

    Obviously we don't know if what was written in the Op-Ed is true, or how tainted it is based upon the perspective of the writer. The NYT Times, however, knows who the author is, and regardless of their political slant, I doubt they would present the author as a highly placed administration official were that not the case.

    You don't seem to understand that his effectiveness is because of how he is confronting the media and the left, not in spite of it. Many Republican politicians have done exactly as you suggest. Decorum. Manners. Civility. Marquis of Queensbury all the way.

    You missunderstand also for that I blame my lack of written communication skills. There are many days I wish I had Don McManus's skills.

    I have no problem with Trump calling out asshats in Congress, the Deep State and the DOJ. I have no problem with Trump calling the media biased.

    It is dangerous and wrong for him to want to silence their criticism no matter how absurd. If Donald Trump expended 1/2 the energy he wastes on twittering meaningless retorts and lashing out against his Media detractors on our Nations ill's he would become a great President and the Media could do nothing to stop that from happening.

    It is simple really; if you are focused on your work you don't have time to care what the booger eaters at the water cooler are saying about you. Your successes and positive efforts will outshine their nastiness.

    Trump needs to shut up and be cool; do what he said he would do, drain the swamp, build the wall and keep the economy rolling a lot more than he has been lately.

    I wish Trump would Twitter less and drain more. There are hundreds of them that need flushed down.

    I did not bring this up until now but it is time to drop some reality on youins.

    TRUMP GOT BEAT BY 3,000,000 VOTES IN THE POPULAR ELECTION. He is POTUS, and rightfully so, because of the genius of the Electoral College system.

    Do not think this fact is lost on the (D)'s. They know Hillary was a turd candidate, she beat herself by being lazy and a nasty hag. The (D) party will not make that error again.

    If Trump is to keep his voters, not just the fanatics, and grow the number bigly he will not see a second term. He can start by halving his tweets and cutting by 75% his reaction to every perceived slight. Fence sitters do not like his crap they will sour of his antics enough over time to vote against him to avoid four more years of it.

    That was the same message the media has broadcasting prior to the last election. They were wrong, actually they knew better, what they were doing was lying.

    I read the media's own poll results and told one of the doctors I work with, Trump had more chance of winning than Hillary, he thought I was nuts. But the conclusions they were printing didn't match the data in their own polls, not if you dug the least bit.

    Same thing now. Trump has not alienated the independents, that is make believe supported by flawed/fabricated data . In my own sphere of people I know he has not alienated any women that supported him before, the ones that didn't are screaming louder, so. Minority support hasn't changed, the Dems still carry the bulk of it, same as before.

    When Obama was elected if motivated a lot of people against him, he was still re-elected. Trump will have a better chance to be re-elected than not.
