Say Something Nice About President Trump

[Jehanne]

His wife is pretty.

[Mr.Obvious]

More than any other president before him, has he unified the american people.

Unified them around the realization and agreement that he's a horrible call for a president. But still.

That counts.

[Wyrd of Gawd]

He is better at politics than the politicians.  

Watching him manipulate the opposition/media into saying what he wants them to say is impressive.

The way he's got this Russian investigation framed is amazing.  My two favorite parts, just as a fan of manipulating people:

1) Mueller. He's duped the left into practically deifying Robby.  He's viewed as an anti-trump hero.  So anti-trump, that Trump himself has allegedly been trying to find a way to fire him from the beginning.  They got Deniro playing him on SNL.  So when Mueller finishes up, and says Trump didn't do anything wrong, that'll be coming from someone who's character/impartiality can't be questioned.  It'll discredit so many anti-trump people.  All those articles Minimalist keeps posting about how "This is the end!" and "Mueller is closing in!"  If Trump walks away clean, they'll all look like political hacks.  Not to you guys, but to people on the fence, it's going to look really bad.

2) Witch hunt.  He says it every day.  And every day, the left/media reacts angrily.  But again, if it wraps up, and Trump is cleared, it's going to look like it was all a political stunt that will further damage the credibility of a lot of people who endlessly claimed something was there.  He'll say "I told you it was a witch hunt."  And what are the left going to say?  "YEAH, BUT PAUL MANAFORT!?!?!?!"  

And what won him the election, in my opinion, was his (what was framed as a) "Doom and Gloom" RNC speech.  By staking the 'things are not good' position, Hillary predictably adopted the "This is the greatest country in the world!" position.  At a time when things were pretty lousy for a number of key blocs in the Dem base.  Basically, it was a thumb in the eye of BLM and poor white folks, and come voting time, they made her pay.

One other thing I like, is his bargaining from a position of power.  It's like the US got a great divorce lawyer.

Excellent observations.

He got rid of TPP...for now.

He got the US out of it....the other parties promptly sat down and re-worked the deal.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comprehens...artnership

The Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), also known as TPP11[2][3][4] is a signed, but not-yet ratified, trade agreement between Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore and Vietnam. These countries represent 13.4 percent of the global gross domestic product or $13.5 trillion, making this the third largest trade agreement after the North American Free Trade Agreement and European Union.[5]

The CPTPP incorporates most of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) provisions by reference, but suspended 22 provisions the United States favored that other countries opposed, and lowered the threshold for enactment so the participation of the U.S. is not required

It seems they will be happier without the 800 pound gorilla fucking things up.

I find it funny that there are 5 pages here I sort of expected this thread to die with the first page.

People are so silly

People are such gullible, fucking idiots.

If he manages to make any kind of headway with NK, I’ll be relatively impressed.

My personal take is that he has availability of more nukes, and is posing like a crazy Mafioso to intimidate the opposition. No in-depth analysis for The Don, just bluster. Pathetic, actually. I will say that if a solution is achieved, it will be from the many decades of wearing NK down, and the timing just puts it in the time frame of cheeto von tweeto's "reign".

CNN is finding it hard to say anything nice about the dumb fuck.

‘I don’t think the bullying is working’: CNN analysts explain how Trump bungled G7 meeting

CNN correspondent Michelle Kosinksi analyzed Trump’s argument that Russia should be back in the G8, and his blaming of Obama for the illegal annexation of Crimea.

“It just doesn’t make a lot of sense,” she said.

But the morons in his base are not interested in "sense."

He has huge hands, and his hair is incredible.
