I agree with this guy...

Let me start with three inconvenient observations, based on dozens of conversations around Washington over the past year:

First, people who go into the White House to have a meeting with President Trump usually leave pleasantly surprised. They find that Trump is not the raving madman they expected from his tweetstorms or the media coverage. They generally say that he is affable, if repetitive. He runs a normal, good meeting and seems well-informed enough to get by.



Second, people who work in the Trump administration have wildly divergent views about their boss. Some think he is a deranged child, as Michael Wolff reported. But some think he is merely a distraction they can work around. Some think he is strange, but not impossible. Some genuinely admire Trump. Many filter out his crazy stuff and pretend it doesn’t exist.
My impression is that the Trump administration is an unhappy place to work, because there is a lot of infighting and often no direction from the top. But this is not an administration full of people itching to invoke the 25th Amendment.
Third, the White House is getting more professional. Imagine if Trump didn’t tweet. The craziness of the past weeks would be out of the way, and we’d see a White House that is briskly pursuing its goals: the shift in our Pakistan policy, the shift in our offshore drilling policy, the fruition of our ISIS policy, the nomination for judgeships and the formation of policies on infrastructure, DACA, North Korea and trade.

More .... that he DIDN'T INCLUDE!

The anti-Trump movement suffers from insularity. Most of the people who detest Trump don’t know anybody who works with him or supports him. And if they do have friends and family members who admire Trump, they’ve learned not to talk about this subject. So they get most of their information about Trumpism from others who also detest Trumpism, which is always a recipe for epistemic closure.

The movement also suffers from lowbrowism. Fox News pioneered modern lowbrowism. The modern lowbrow (think Sean Hannity or Dinesh D’Souza) ignores normal journalistic or intellectual standards. He creates a style of communication that doesn’t make you think more; it makes you think and notice less. He offers a steady diet of affirmation, focuses on simple topics that require little background information, and gets viewers addicted to daily doses of righteous contempt and delicious vindication.
Actually, what conservative media has been doing is focusing on that which the Anti-Trumpers detest and choose to ignore ... his successes. The don't want "America to be Great Again" particularly on his watch! That would reveal their bias and stupidity. Look at the petty fake bullshit threads started in here!

For instance: How many of the Anti-Trump media outlets reported on the Bi-Partisan Congressional meeting with the President on Immigration Reform that happened yesterday!

They would much rather talk about Orca running in 2020, instead of reality.

Wtf must of taken an extra pill yesterday

That slightly ever increasing twitch you see of his while he is in this "medically induced intellectual phase" is merely his attempt to hold it together long enough to copy and paste the new york times editorial page

Perhaps WTF and the MSM thought that "Bi-Partisan" meant something else.

... As in ... a partisan who goes both ways!
It was revealed a few days ago that Wolf never interviewed much of the key WH staff he said he did. Nor did he even talk to most of them other than to exchange pleasantries.

More lies from the "NeverTrumpers."

WTF must of figured out that President Trumps tax bill will increase the demand for his "McMansions."

Frankly, I don’t consider it a “win”for Twitler when he doesn’t lose his mind and make asinine statements. The world is not a safer place because Twitler forgets to lie.

The bar for this buffoon is still six feet below grown level.

You all know the big forbidden topics such as children, underage sex, illicit drug mention and drug use mentions, bestiality, revealing personal info, medical speculation, or images not in compliance and any type of racial slurs...those will not be tolerated.

The DOW is still dancing around above 25,000 today and correcting. Guess your pissed about that, too!

But I can imagine those whining about "Republican ONLY" legislation wouldn't waste any time bitching about bi-partisanship!

Speaking of BITCHES .... that would be YOU!
