I’ve noticed that most of my readers are not Trump fans, and I appreciate that. I love you guys for being reasonable and not falling for this glorified circus elephant. But Trump fans will come out of the woodwork because of my latest piece here, and when they do I want you to notice something: they claim they like Trump’s “blunt and unapologetic” approach, but watch how they react when that blunt and unapologetic strategy is turned against them. Watch what happens when someone is blunt and unapologetic towards them.
This is the first sign that Trump’s legion of admirers aren’t sincere. They say they like his tone — which is already a terrible, horrible, ridiculous reason to elect someone president — but it turns out that they just like his tone when he’s regurgitating their own shallow sentiments.
Trump, of course, is the same way. He claims to be the bold, politically incorrect guy, but he cries like a scrawny bully when anyone punches him back. He’s weak. And that’s what led to the now infamous incident a few days ago, where he attacked Megyn Kelly for asking him tough questions, insinuating that she was on her period.

This is what we’re dealing with. A dishonorable, desperate goon who will stoop to any level to insult anyone who fails to worship him, and will resort to any measure to get attention. And this isn’t even the worst thing about him. The worst thing is that he’s a corrupt, liberal, mob-connected charlatan. He’s a Democrat with a Democrat’s agenda, which is trumped (pun intended) only by his primary agenda, which is to serve himself and himself alone.
But Donald Trump is not the problem. The real problem are his supporters. These are conscious, intelligent adults who have chosen to make a mockery of the political process and play games with my country’s future. For this reason, because I love my country and I take it’s fate seriously, I am angry at these people. They know better than this. They are better than this. And it pains me that these reckless, bored people are coming, presumably, from the conservative ranks. I would have liked to think that conservatives wouldn’t fall for the Obama Cult of Personality shtick, but they have. And it’s depressing to behold.
But, much as I’ll be accused of attacking them here, I’m actually the one encouraging them. Most of the rest of the non-Trump fans just treat the Trump Squad like children who can’t be held responsible. I, on the other hand, would never insult them like that. They’re not children. They’re not robots. They have a brain and free will, and it’s about time they freaking use it

Another nobody trying to get attention by writing about a somebody.
Who is Matt Walsh and why should anyone give a damn?
“Trump fans will come out of the woodwork because of my latest piece here, and when they do I want you to notice something: they claim they like Trump’s “blunt and unapologetic” approach, but watch how they react when that blunt and unapologetic strategy is turned against them.”
Could somebody point me to an actual instance of this, so I can see it for myself?
Trump consults with Clinton before launching his campaign. Gives plenty of money to the Clinton campaigns as well as their foundations. Donates thousands to Democrat campaign committees which helped the Democrats take control of Congress in 2006. Supported single payer health system.
If the same standards were used to judge him as any other Republican, he would be deemed a RINO and a GOPE. Why is Trump given a pass on so many issues?
OK ... I'll keep you posted while you invent answers for an invented question
The Trump phenomenon has made it obvious that the "Low Information Voter" is not a species unique to the leftward side of the electorate.
This is what we’re dealing with. A dishonorable, desperate goon who will stoop to any level to insult anyone who fails to worship him, and will resort to any measure to get attention.
Talking about Obama? A lot of projecting going on.
Who is this Matt Walsh and why should I give two s-—ts about what he thinks?
I’d love to be convinced that Trump is not just 2016’s Ross Perot. But that is what he looks like to me.
But, but, but.....he speaks truth to power, he tells it like it is, he....he....MEXICANS!!
“These are conscious, intelligent adults who have chosen to make a mockery of the political process and play games with my country’s future. “
Concern troll.
Whatever happened to the days when conservatives were “fed up” with the process and wanted a “revolution”, which was like 3 whole weeks ago?
Because he has moved to the right, and is now putting his reputation--as a proud & often outspoken man--on the line for what most of us believe.
Conservatives need to stop acting like Lemmings, following one another to destruction, and embrace new allies & new opportunities. An American future is the real issue--not anybody's false pride, that goeth before a fall.
Ah, music to my ears!
Spot on!
Even his idea to build a fence and send the Mexican government the bill to pay for it is completely moronic.
I agree the fence needs to be completed and the border secured. But the idea that the Mexicans are going to help in this matter is loco.
I’ll go you one better, dsc; doesn’t Walsh know it is about Trump running for president and not whether I have thin skin. Walsh is full of insults. Sheesh.
These are conscious, intelligent adults who have chosen to make a mockery of the political process and play games with my country’s future.
Ah ha ha...Trump supporters are responsible for making a mockery of the political process. Stockholme Syndrome?
>>They have a brain and free will, and it’s about time they freaking use it
Please, Matt Walsh, tell us how to freaking use our brains.
Does he think for a second that every conservative who is presently following Trump isn’t asking themselves over and over again, “This guy is not a conservative, yet he is forcing the Beltway Elite to respond to questions that we’ve been asking for 20 years and they refuse to answer. Should I continue to follow him, or should I go back to the safe and polite Conservatives, who will lose to the GOProgressive in the primary?”
Yes, we feel like Patton saying that we need to rearm the Nazis and turn them east to kill the REAL enemy. We think about this and a lot of things, but just because we aren’t as “nuanced” as Matt Walsh, we are misusing our brain and free will. Perhaps we are. Perhaps Matt Walsh needs to implore another candidate to step up and fill that space that is occupied by Trump and to start kicking that wasp nest like he is.
This isn’t a college debate team. This is 21st century America: broke, weakened, scared to offend much less actually WIN, more worried about a lion than a million dead babies, worried that #thuglivesmatter, suppressing Christ while embracing Mohammed, etc.
We need a pit fighter who will break an opponent’s nose before the bell rings and kick the referee in the nuts if he complains. Come on Matt Walsh, make a candidate replace Trump!! PLEASE!! But stop telling us to lower our expectations to match yours!
It is all over FR...watch how belligerent certain Freepers are when you simply challenge the Donald...
