His press conference was great.
Thunderbolts and lightning, CNN is frightening me
Agree 100%. He has the demeanor of a lady I taught with who never had to discipline a class. All it took was a few well-chose words and "the look" and the youngsters were totally stymied.
I do hope part of his function is to ascertain what swampthing traitors are still in the WH....and they are convincingly removed.
You know what impressed me the most in his press conference yesterday? He came across as non-confrontational and never scowled or raised his voice, but yet able to express his ideas in a convincing fashion.
MASADA and TRUMP
Around the year 73 CE or so, a large group of Jewish rebels fled from Roman oppression to a mountain plateau called Masada. The Romans laid siege to them by constructing a huge earthen ramp. Before the ramp was completed, rather than surrender to what they understood would be a fate worse than death at the hands of the Romans, the 960 rebels (men, women and children) killed themselves. (Details here for those interested: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masada)
In November, 2016, a rebellious American electorate decided it had had enough of passively watching their rights stripped by arrogant, out-of-touch deep state Democrats and equally deep state GOPe types and sent to the White House an equally rebellious OUTSIDER.
If some of you believe that Donald Trump is behaving strangely, think of Masada.
He’s being besieged and vilified by an 85%+ majority leftist media and DC deep state insiders – of BOTH PARTIES – who are threatened by this rebellious “outsider”. The White House is looking more and more like that mountain plateau in the desert and the unprecedented attacks on the man and his family could be analogized as that ramp the Romans constructed to reach and destroy those damned rebels on that plateau.
Allow me to cite an example of how the pressure of the attacks on Trump just manifested.
Jeff Sessions is a decent man. That said, I now question why – without apparently discussing it with the President – he recused himself in connection with the moronic inquisitional Russian probe (anal?) by deep state establishment leftists Democrats and GOPe types cut from a nearby section of the same cloth. (I also have grave reservations about Session’s recent support for unadjudicated and totally UNCONSTITUTIONAL “civil forfeiture”, but that’s a topic for another time.)
Trump’s anger stemmed from Sessions’ recusal as it has put in motion what even Rush has characterized as the most partisan opposition research operation in the history of politics. From Mueller on down, EVERY individual in that cohort is a self-identified Democrat deep stater and Clinton partisan! In fact, at Mueller’s law firm, 99.81% of their donations went to Hillary Clinton! If Donald Trump is appearing just a tad paranoid, it’s because they really ARE out to get him!
Thought Sessions did serve in the Senate, as a gentleman from the old South, he was one of the more gentile and courteous members in that body. While not naive, he probably overlooked the periodic knifings by the left as simply their normal M.O. Trump – a New Yorker – has a very different response to such behavior: He knifes them back! That’s why WE sent him into that den of vipers!
And the news just in that Sean Spicer is out and his replacement is an old Trump friend is simply more evidence that Trump is beginning to grasp the importance of surrounding himself ONLY with folks who fully understand and agree with his agenda and will not waffle and spar with a clearly hostile media gaggle.
While it might be a bit of a stretch, can you see some similarities between Masada and what the new centurions of the deep state are doing to Trump?
My prayer is that, unlike the tragic outcome at Masada, OUR rebel prevails and defeats this new barbaric Roman legion.
