Trump's rope a dope

I've never seen anything like this. It's blowing my mind.

Trump made a series of imprecise tweets. He criticized Democrats harshly without citing names while everyone knew who he meant; the new Dem mean girls who garner so much media attention.

Nobody controls media attention like President Donald Trump.

Trump told them basically to go back where they came from and fix their countries of origin then come back and tell us how that is done.

But only one actually comes from another country.

Driscoll on Instapundit links twice to John Hinderaker at PowerLine. Hinderaker thinks Trump's tweets are a huge mistake. Because Dems are self-immolating presently, we should just watch them burn, but instead Trump roils the pot and takes the attention off of them and onto himself.

Hinderaker and Driscoll simply cannot comprehend how Trump operates.

They cannot accept Trump is more adept than they are.

They're timid. They're too studied in good manners. They come to a gunfight slapping people with white gloves and expecting that to work in today's cutthroat political climate.

Trump makes me laugh my butt off. Hinderaker and Driscoll find nothing amusing about him.

You know what? Henry Kissinger is that same way. His two books, The White House Years and Years of Upheaval are thick heavy tomes with several hundred pages loaded with $10.00 words. I kept index cards as book markers and always a pencil at hand and I learned a million new words. Possibly a hundred. And thereafter I wondered how I ever managed without them. The books are extremely technical, about the SALT treaties and about shuttle diplomacy. He knew every head of state in the world. His circle was quite amazing and throughout both books his extremely dry intellectual wit rings like a bell. The man is funny! His descriptions of people especially are hilarious.

In case you haven't seen this:

Hinderaker at PowerLine. His commenters comprehend Trump much better than he does.

Driscoll 1 at Instapundit. His commenters are so far ahead of him that it's not even funny. Glenn Reynolds updates contrarily. 1,000+ comments smarter than Driscoll.

Driscoll 2 Apparently Driscoll thinks Instapundit readers could use a second dose. Nearly 500 comments, pow, right in the kisser.

Apparently the media freaked the f out. I wouldn't know without being told. I've shut them out completely. They're useless to me. Worse than useless. They're damaging. I'm told they freaked out. They're probably analyzing the imprecision of Trump's tweets. They're undoubtedly framing the controversy in terms of race. But Trump didn't name them. Rather, he described what they did in general terms.

And Trump isn't finished.

Later in the day Trump picks up where he left off.

Now Tump says, "So sad to see Democrats stick up for people who speak so badly of our country and who also hate Israel with unbridled passion. Whenever confronted they call their adversaries racist. The terrible things that they say must not be allowed to go unchallenged. If the Democrat Party wants to do this then we look forward to seeing them at the ballot box in 2020."

See for yourself, Seeforyourselfers.

Trump Twitter.

Ever notice how really smart people get stuck on the stupidest things?

If the raids yesterday weren't a big deal, as the Lefties claim (we're still awaiting returns), they certainly showcased Trump's ability to draw out the stupids on the other side.

They've been screaming all weekend how eeeeevvvvvviiiiillll (Harvey Korman pronunciation) it is and telling the country once again exactly who they are what's their party.

They'd better start praying CA doesn't fall into the sea so they'll have somebody left in Congress.

As opposed to incongruous.

Does not matter if Trump says anything imprecise, because most of us know what he means.

"Go back to Africa!" The one thing polite Americans aren't supposed to say, even to an ungrateful immigrant congresswoman. I never expected him to throw that line at her which is what makes him a joy to watch, because you never know what he'll say or do.

Don't be timid! That's my advice for EVERYONE.

Speaking of not being timid -- this is July 15th, exactly midsummer, so Sixty or Chip or chick, I don't care which, one of you should add Midsommarvaka (I think that's the spelling) by the Swedish composer Alfven (I think that's the spelling) to a post you do today. That's my bold, not timid, request.

You would think these people (talking about the NeverTrumpers) would learn, but they're just as immune to creative, critical thinking as any other leftist.

Amartel said...

FredoCon is a good name for them. Because they're SMART, not like people say, like dumb. They're SMART and they want RESPECT.

What Trump did was the political equivalent of a Rohrschach test, and the psychos performed as expected.

Leland said...

Damn, the press couldn't even get the 4some to denounce Al Qaeda; and instead, they will no longer denounce terrorism. Trump just secured the House for the Republicans.

What a time to be alive. And who woulda thunk, what with the downhill slide an all due to those commie bastards. They're not as smart as they think they are, thank goodness.
