How Trump Lost Half of Washington
MSJ ^ | Noonan

Posted on 04/27/2019 7:48:44 AM PDT by RevelationDavid

“How did things ever get so far? I don’t know. It was so unfortunate, so unnecessary.”

—Don Corleone, “The Godfather”

I keep thinking about the dynamics the past few years between the president and what used to be called official Washington. That relationship is ugly and broken, but it could have been otherwise.

he old ambassadors were willing to give him a chance. He destabilized the whole town instead.

The deep state should be thinking about a different Godfather quote:

“And then, I do not forgive.”

Noonan has been as much help identifying and thwarting the socialist onslaught as Jerry Nadler.

Uh, he was elected to DRAIN THE SWAMP!

You can’t do that by playing footsies with the swamp critters.

Best election, best POTUS, best man for the job, evah!

Wow...the stupid is very, very thick on Peggy Noonan.

Does she have late stage dementia? That’s the only possible fig leaf....

Shouldn’t the headline read

‘Trump still has half of Washington to contend with as he continues the never-ending, almost impossible task of ‘draining the swamp’

Yes, “official Washington” could have come together for the good of the country and joined Trump. Instead, they chose to stick together for the good of their own inner-circle.

Make no mistake, WE are the resistance, not the elites, and not the fascists.

Trump was always under Republican establishment attack.

I’m not sure why even to this day.

The Republican Congress was of no substantial legislative help to Trump or the nation.

“so unfortunate, so unnecessary”

A broken relationship is what I voted for.

If it was "otherwise," I wouldn't like Trump very much.

Get used to it, Peggy. Real Americans voted for Donald Trump because we've had enough of the sh!t we've been fed by propagandists like you and the people you work for.

I cannot stomach Peggy Noonan. She is precisely the kind of person who has brought us to the situation we are at today.

She thinks it is far more important for politicians to get along than to do what is both morally right and constitutionally right.

How Trump Lost Half of Washington? Easy. He took the view that it is more important to do what is right for this country and for the Constitution than it is to do what is right for politicians.

And the fact that his actions pose more of a threat to the “Gravy Train” than has ever existed before is reason enough to explain the irrational vilification of President Trump.
