Okay I was hoping that the left would wise up but it looks like it is not going to happen. Trump did not get to this place in his life by being a stupid man. He did not get his money from his daddy. He is not as stupid and dumb as what people make him out to be. He also did not steal all of the money he has made. That being said, he strategies and outwits his competitors and waits for them to make a mistake. Ask 16 Republicans and a whole bunch of Democrats how he outwitted them.
This is the scenario that the "dumb idiot Trump" has laid out for the Dems. He has taken a page or two out of the war strategist Sun Tzu and adapted them to his strategy. The best one is going to be fight the enemy where they are not. Trump has laid out a plan for the Dems to actually screw themselves and he is using the media that hate him to do it. They do not even know they are falling into the spiders trap until the fangs come out. He makes a comment that can be taken as red meat for his detractors and of course they run like hell with it. While the Dems are out talking about how wrong and dumb it was, Trump just carries on with what he is doing. The media work perfectly into the plan by keeping the focus on the comment and all of the pundits are spending all of their time kicking him in the chins and laughing at his stupidity.
While this is happening the Dems have made it very public that all they want to do is resist everything he does. That again is more chum for Trump and another piece of his plan. The Dems are all focused on the "story of the day" and bashing him, while the Repubs are working on their jobs. Trump throws out a bloody piece and the sharks go for it, then the Repubs work on reforming the tax code and giving everybody a tax break. The Dems are livid that businesses are getting one as well and attack it and every single one of them vote against it. The Repubs pass the bill and now we all get tax reform.
The next thing on the agenda was the Wall, which everyone laughed about and mocked. He had their attention focused on a wall and then he decides to throw in that he will be willing to allow DOUBLE the amount of illegal immigrants or dreamers as they are known, to stay above what the Dems were wanting and also offering a way to get citizenship. The Dems in their blather are not going to let that idiot get away with any thing and they all go out and make TV appearances and speeches saying they will not vote for this.
Trump kicks sand in the faces of most of NATO and so the Dems again have a hayday with that. They seem to forget that they have been saying the same thing to American citizens, "You are not paying your fair share", evactly what Trump told the NATO allies. The allies decide that since many other US POTUS's have said it, Trump is the one that won't blink and promise to ante up.
He next goes to NKorea and meets with the leader of the country, something that no other POTUS has ever done. The Dems go nuts again saying it was giving Kim more recognition that he deserved and they do off on another rant.
He then goes to Russia and meets with Putin, lets him know what is expected of him and to quit the BS. Of course the dems are again foaming at the mouth all over again about the Russian interference. Throughout all of this time the Repubs have been working at their jobs, getting things done, while the dogs are barking.
The Dems have been forced to go much farther left and now their old time "A" team legislators are being replaced by super left wing zealots and the young are revolting at the Pelosi and Schumer controlled party. The old timers are forced to lean further left to keep up and now they are so far gone that many of the Independents and Blue Dogs can not follow. Remember this is the lead-up to a midterm that the Dems really want to win to regain power.
Now it is the midterm general election, Trump has kept the Dems occupied by preying on their hatred and set them up for a massive landslide defeat. He made them take a side, which in turn was to be against anything and everyhting that Trump might have wanted to accomplish. They have no platform to tell the voters about, they all voted against the tax bill, they voted against even bringing up the DACA reform, they wore out the Russia card and now they have nothing, absolutely nothing. What are they going to say on the campaign trail, "I was against Trump all the way"? They can not make any promises because they have already voted against all of the things that are helping normal people on main street. The tax cuts, all they can say is we will raise your taxes by taking away that blasted tax cut. They can not say they are going to help the Mexicans because they voted against that as well. The middle class who have been voting Dem for years are not going to vote for these fools either.
It is a perfect storm and Trump used their hatred against them, they got snookered and they are just to mad right now to know it. The left wing media is so focused on making up lies or really stretching the truth and have been complicit in helping Trump, their hated enemy the whole time. All of them together are not in the place where they need to be, passing legislation that helps the American people, keeping them safe and making sure that future generations are not saddled with a huge debt. Keep talking garbage Dems, I got a case of popcorn and this show is going to be one of a kind.
