President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Maybe not normal, but still fun to watch.

Donald has manipulated media coverage of himself for 35 years. He understands this stuff better than the media does.

Want proof? The entire media tried to stop him. The entire media predicted he would fail, that he would embarrass himself, and finally that he would lose to Clinton in a landslide.

This is Trump, once again, putting everyone on notice that if you fuck with him, he will call you out.

And, this has worked too.

Even after "grab them by the pussy" very few Republican elected officials called for him to step aside, or said they wouldn't vote for him.

They didn't want the fight with Trump or his supporters.

This will help him as he pushes his agenda in Congress, and with administration and judicial appointments.

People end up choosing their battles with Trump, and often choose not to fight.

 

TL;DR

LOL

 

People make fun of Trump for "feuding" with Hamilton.

A. It took him about a minute of his time to fire off a couple of tweets.

2. It worked for him.

It got people talking about that instead of the Trump University story, which is now dead as a story.

It furthered the perception among his voters -- especially "white working class" voters -- that urban elites look down on them.

 

Just wondering . . . .

What could Nixon have tweeted about that would have taken everyone's mind off Watergate?

The Bobby Riggs-Billie Jean King match? Roe v. Wade?

 

We shouldn't forget that CNN literally traded access for coverage with Saddam Hussein.

We shouldn't be surprised if PEOTUS thinks he might be able to push them around.

They've already shown they are for sale.

 

This man good at what he does. He possibly defrauded a bunch of folks who would be considered "his voters." But he cleverly distracted everyone from that by acting like a petulant child. Perhaps these games are truly what we want from or leaders.

(Oh God, why am I engaging with your trolling?)

 

Or he's a vindictive bully who goes whining to anybody who will listen when somebody stands up to him.

 

Why does Roosevelt keep going on this radio thing?

From someone who gets it, and has the experience to understand it.

 

You only think that because you've misunderstood every single one of his words and actions during the last four decades.

 

Pretty sure we don't.

 

The college football polls.
