Trump is He His Own Worst Enemy?

Guest Post by Martin Armstrong

There is no question that the powers that be are out to stop Trump at all costs. They are indeed winning. But Trump is his own worst enemy. The press know all they have to do is ask him a loaded controversial question that criticizes him and he responds in kind. If he were smart, he would play it like Hillary – lie to the press and the public and privately assure everyone that’s not her real agenda.

Trump is too honest in that regard and that hands the press all the ammunition to turn every single event into a controversy. I watched the Trump press conference and he said the Wall is needed to stop the drug trade. When CNN ran it on the nightly news, they cut his statement ending it with security, implying the racist issue rather than drugs.

On the Charlottesville  incident, clearly this demonstrates he does not understand how to deal with the press. Yes, there is the issue of both extreme sides rising.  There is no question that the dominant issue was State’s Rights. However, the white supremacists are not preaching that – they are preaching hate of blacks and Jews. The extreme left are Communists following Marx. These two sides are both responsible without question. Nevertheless, the political cartoons reflect the perception that all the evil lies on one side. Trump has to understand that the event in focus must be addressed in isolation. He should have immediately condemned the white supremacists for they openly say Trump is too liberal for them. He should have confined his remarks to just the one side and then address the left when they try to dig up graves or will no doubt protest the Columbus Day parade on October 9th in New York City.

CNN and others will fan the flames and they are creating the divide within America. Eventually, we will see the USA break up probably after 2032. Trump was elected because of the rising tension. He is a symptom, not the cause. Nevertheless, he is his own worst enemy aiding this divide.

I seriously question if Trump will get his agenda through. Even if he resigned and he was succeeded by the VP, the agenda will not be passed and therein lies the problem for the Republican Party betraying the people once again.

‘Trump is too honest ….” —– article

They said something similar about Jimmy Carter …. that he was “too nice”.

After Carter, we got a pretty damn good President.

Maybe that will happen again?

I’m afraid time “has already told us” but I await to see for sure.

My greatest fear is that he will get us into a new Korean War and drag China into it without first getting them on our side and helping squash that little fat fuck and his Generals who runs N. Korea.

He MUST get China on board – as we found out back in the 50’s at the Chosen Reservoir. I was alive then and remember it well.

North Korea is China’s “useful idiot.” China isn’t being dragged into anything; it’s pulling the strings!

I guess, given who and what steers the country these days, anyone who actually utters the truth is “his own worst enemy.” I’ll take Trump over Obama any day!

Another bullshit from Armstrong imo. Trump did the correct way. The media is the problem and most of us get it. Armstrong, you’re an idiot. We rail and rail about the lying ass cocksuckers in politics and then you come out and say a politician is too honest?

Today’s affirmation: The media are full of liberal whores who are the enemy of the US citizen. I will learn to think for myself.

Trump’s only real problem with Washington, the MSM, the Republicans, the Democrats, etc. is that he doesn’t just go along with what they want, he keeps doing things differently than what has become expected from our Presidents.

If he’d just get over that he’d probably be a popular President with lots of support from them.

I don’t think he is his own worst enemy, but I do think many have a visceral negative response to his brash persona. This gets in the way of his agenda (or gives excuse for rejecting it). His enemies the globalists and leftists are able to use his clumsiness to great advantage, and they have been at it 24/7 since he announced his candidacy.

He made some poor choices when hiring his staff and he must not be easy to work for. Advising him to manage his agenda by doing more lying is the craziest thing I have read in a long time.

I’m really getting tired of…. If only he were more eloquent…. oh, if he wasn’t so brash… so crude…. then what? Would he suddenly be a media darling? Would Antifa drop their weapons and cheer him at his next gathering? Would the elite suddenly realize their greed and do something to build up America?. No. No and no.
President Trump could have the oratory power of Cisero, but if the media cuts and pastes his statements to fit their portrait of who they want him to be, what difference would it make?
The die has been cast, you either love him or hate him. Pick your side and stop with the clutching your heart and hoping for someone else.
Edit: I will yield to Gayle, who suggests his choice of cabinet picks leaves much to be desired. In the end, just like Julius Caesar, be careful of whom you surround yourself with; it may be your undoing.

Just what does the author of this Op-Ed piece want Trump to be?

Just another Cheese-Dick like all the GOP Cheese Dicks that ran against him in the primaries?
Or does he want him to be another Cheese-Dick/Jesus-Weenie like Ted Cruz.

If any of the other zipper-heads got into the White House, it would have been the same old, same old…. and that is: they piss down to back of your neck and explain that “it’s only raining.”

Look what the GOP did when they ran things under Bush II (the idiot)…. nothing.
Okay they threw you a few tax-cut bones… but did they shrink the size of government?

Nooooooooo!
In fact they grew government and the deep state at an enormous rate to what it is today.

The one thing that the Trump “pussy grabbing video” told we was thus: Trump was no degenerate faggot like former President Obama who frequented “Man’s World” in Chicago during the 90’s before he became president–also Trump did not marry a “tranny” degenerate like Mooch-shell Obama (aka Mike Obama).

Trump is an ordinary kinda’ guy who likes pussy… and also enoumously successful in the world of finanance and business. He tells it like it is just like Harry Truman told it like it was. He is rough around the edges and that’s okay with me.

He is no “professional” politician (leech/parasite/disease) like Ted Cruz, Governor Huckabee, Jeb Bush and the rest of the fuck-stains that comprise the GOP leadership at this time.

We don’t need another professional politician in the White House anymore.

Get your fucking head straight OP.

“But there is the issue of both extreme sides rising”

I don’t think the extreme right or even the moderate right has begun to rise in the slightest. When it does there truly will be blood in the streets. Then we’ll know the battle id well and truly joined.

“But there is the issue of both extreme sides rising”

Yeah its a bunch of bullcrap. One leftist pretends to be a Trump supporter and runs over a bunch of other leftists, and all the sudden we have two opposite extremes? And people buy it. It’s so stupidly simple, and simply stupid.

Could be some day in the future, we will follow the letter of the law to see if a politician is obeying his oath of office. Until then, we’ll continue to worship mortals like presidents, congresscritters, etc.
We’re always going to elect the right guy next, right fellas?
