This is a strange time for Republicans and conservatives who were anti-Trump. Now that he’s president, on the one hand it’s nice to see the Democrat Party in complete disarray. His Supreme Court pick seems pretty solid. I’m somewhat hopeful that the vehement, nearly psychotic, opposition to him by the left will push him to oppose anything they support.
On the other hand, well, Twitter. I understand that his supporters don’t care what he says or tweets. But the President of the United States of America should have a filter. The election is over. He won. He doesn’t need to tweet out every thought, or piss off our allies to drum up support. His supporters aren’t going to abandon him. If he wants to build political capital he needs to take a breath and be more of a statesman.
Earlier I posted Dr. Owens’s article, which concluded with this:
Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country. Yes, I know most of the Silent Majority are too busy working to spend much time in political activism. I also know that we face an army of people many on the government dole and many rich enough to finance a lifestyle of life in the trenches from their gated communities and country clubs. However, we cannot leave our leader out there alone to face the coming storm. We are all the support President Trump has. The Progressives have the media, academia, Hollywood, and the Democrat Party. Mr. Trump can’t even count on the Republicans. Led by John McCain and Lindsey Graham these Never-Trumpers are reaching across the aisle to sabotage our re-boot of America.
I want to defend Trump against so much of this idiocy. I want to defend the policies he’s promoting that I agree with. But he just makes it so hard to defend him. Some of what he does and says is just cringe-worthy. I don’t have the time, nor the inclination, to go through it all. Not that I need to, just watch the news for a few minutes. He needs people coming to his defense. But he’s giving them so many soundbites, soundbites that make people who are just living their lives and hoping for the best feel a little anxious.
I want President Trump to succeed, I only wish he would chill out a teeny little bit so that coming to his defense wouldn’t be such a chore. Is that too much to ask?
[…] The Lonely Conservative wonders why Trump makes it so hard to defend him […]
If you have any love of country as it was founded this should not be a problem. Man up, quit acting like the perfect candidate will ride up on a white stallion.
Nobody is asking for a perfect candidate, Trump is the president. It would be nice if he would start acting like it. Why spend his time attacking Nordstrom’s for not carrying his daughter’s clothing line any more? It’s ridiculous and makes him look petty and un-serious. My older son will be out of high school before Trump is out of office, I don’t want to see him go off to some war started because our president holds grudges about petty little perceived slights. It would be nice to see the president talking about cutting the deficit and reducing the national debt. It would be nice to see some progress on the repeal of Obamacare. It would be nice to see tax reform. Sure, a temporary ban on immigration from dangerous countries is a fine idea, but he could have given it a few extra days or weeks so the roll out of the plan went a little more smoothly.
We all know that the liberals in the media have it in for him, he shouldn’t hand them all of these negative images on a silver platter. I get the frustration that the media didn’t pay attention to all of the uber-leftists and commies that made up the Obama administration, and they didn’t bat an eye every time Obama wielded his pen and his phone to screw over hard working Americans. I just wish that Trump would find some inner peace and knock it off with all of this crap that he takes so personally. He’s the president now, he has an amazing opportunity to set this country back onto the right track. So I will pray that he focuses on that, rather than all of this other stuff that doesn’t matter.
Stop Defending him…….Attack the left for their petulance….this is all about Trump and the birther thing….They are trying 10x harder then trump ever did….to delegitimize his presidency….Already they have broken out the Impeachment term……In short embrace the chaos……Embrace it and run with it…….the more you embrace the chaos the more the left will grow increasingly unhinged further diminishing their chances in 2018.
In short I dont defend trump…….I simply point to the statue on the books that is federal law which gives him every right to freeze immigration from those countries deemed a threat……EVERY president has used it…..Dont defend it…simply point to the statue and let them defend their position…….its called Saul Alinsky tactics…in case no ones noticed we are not talking about crowd sizes anymore…….HIT THEM FROM ALL SIDES>>>>NEVER LET UP>>>>>KEEP THEM ON THE ROPES….saul alinsky
