But Trump thrives on chaos. Many of his supporters want him to be a disrupter. Chaos translates to effectiveness.

This is a great essay.

An excellent way to view the struggle for a restoration of limited government in America.

But Obama and his people had learned nothing from how Trump had won the election. When Trump is attacked, his response is to go directly for the attacker, no matter what the argument is or how it’s sourced. Trump doesn’t get bogged down in debates or befuddled by media echo chambers that are so totally enveloping that they resemble reality. He just smashes past them to the source of the smear.

That is exactly what he did by calling out Obama’s eavesdropping. He bypassed all the layers that Obama had put in place to insulate himself from involvement in the attack, the media echo chamber, the staffers who handed information to the media and the government loyalists who provided the information to the staffers, to strike at the wizard behind the curtain.

And, in doing so, he made a mockery of Obama’s bravado.

The elite mediots, who control ABCNNBCBS, Faux, the Ny/LA Slimes, WSJ, Compost, and LaRaza Slimes fail to realize: President Trump does not need them to speak to his 60+ million voters/us.

He Tweets us, sends his contributors emails and controls the White House digital system. He bypasses the left wing mediots, when he communicates directly with us.

So, neither President Trump, nor his 60+ million voters need nor do we want ABCNNBCBS, Faux, the Ny/LA Slime, WSJ, Compost, and LaRaza Times trying to tell us what our president is telling us. We know without their twisting and word games.

We don’t need the “old gotcha” press conferences. With the whining and lying liberal mediots attacking our president. We are tired of the mediots lying and telling us what to believe and how to vote! Ban them from the White House. Trump’s comments and statements are for his voters. We don’t need lying liberal mediots to tell us what he says to us. There is zero filtering, adjusting and lying to us when Trump talks to us directly!

Official Washington is being traumatized by the tweets of Donald Trump.

Politico has chronicled the pearl clutching concern by the inside the beltway types over Trump's tweets. Trump speaking directly to the people via Twitter is causing a crisis among mediots, politicians and lobbyists. They just don't know how to handle it as the article title, “Trump’s Twitter feed traumatizes Washington.”

Just for fun, compare Trump's high school pictures with obama's high school pictures.

Notice how Trump has been uniquely prepared by life to be the POTUS.

And how Obama was uniquely prepared to NOT be POTUS.

So, really. How did obama happen to US?

One of my most deeply held hopes and fervent prayers is that President Trump utterly and completely unmasks obama and the Trojan horse he rode in in.

Oh how I hope and pray for that glorious day!

“Trump’s killer instinct lies in understanding that hypocrisy conceals weakness.”

So true and beautifully put

The best quote to take away from the article is from that true American patriot, Mike Tyson, “ “Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.”
President Trump is not playing Obama games, not now, never. Obama thinks he is running a shadow government. He is wrong. The President will pull him out into the sunlight and challenge him and beat him for the next 8 years. In front of America he will beat him at every quarter, there will be no shadow to hid in.

DC elites win when everyone agrees to PLAY ON THEIR FIELD BY THEIR RULES... Trump's outfoxed them...

Way too many words, allow me to summarize: Barak Obama is a back-stabbing, cowardly pu@@y...Donald Trump is a man.

Excellent post! I completely agree.

It's in his nature and always has been, as near as I can tell.

Otoh, obama was uniquely prepared from his earliest childhood by forces far beyond his control to become a sort of chameleon who had to quickly adapt and fit into each new place, family and culture he found himself.

My guess is, that in every situation obama is always an actor playing a character on reality TV.

But Trump is Trump no matter what he's doing, and no matter what he's doing, Trump is top of his class.

I think and believe that we and the world are beyond lucky that Donald J. Trump is the POTUS.

It's been in the works for a while.
