Say Something Nice About President Trump

[LadyForCamus]

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.
