"They wish...I think he is RELISHING the fight."
"Let's get ready to rumble!"

When Donald Trump stepped to the dais at the United Nations General Assembly yesterday, he had a speech full of sharp lines: swipes at socialism, assertions of nationalism versus globalism, harsh words for Iran. Though Trump doesn’t enjoy delivering scripted remarks, he sounded listless, tired, and bored even by his own standards, struggling through the speech.
The president had a good reason to be distracted. The same morning, he had spoken on the phone with Speaker Nancy Pelosi, trying to stem a growing tide of Democratic demands for his impeachment. According to NBC’s Heidi Przybyla, Trump asked Pelosi whether there was some way they could make a deal. Pelosi said the White House had to release the whistle-blower complaint to Congress, as required by statute. “Tell your people to obey the law,” she said.
After weeks of defiance, Trump seemed to change course. Yesterday afternoon, he announced that the White House would release a transcript of his July call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Later in the day, Politico’s Nancy Cook reported that the White House would release the whistle-blower complaint to Congress.
It was not enough to satisfy Pelosi. At 5 p.m. yesterday, she stepped before microphones in Washington and announced an “official impeachment inquiry,” with her support, into the president. It’s still unclear what this means materially, but it rattled Trump. At home in Trump Tower, he was stunned, believing that he’d managed to put Pelosi off in their morning conversation, according to CNN.
Chaos is a constant in the Trump administration, but this week there are signs of a far rarer impulse: panic. The indications come in Trump’s demeanor, including the listless speech; a combative, brief press availability with Zelensky at the UN this morning; and a rambling, stream-of-semi-consciousness press availability this afternoon.

I wish it were the final moment. This desperate attempt to smear Trump with Biden’s scandal is going to fail miserably. Fail even harder than the Russian collusion hoax. And when it does, the Democrats are going to come after Trump again and again and again. They will find yet another bogus reason to bring up impeachment charges. What will be the next attempt?
Tax returns.
Take this to the bank. They have already hinted at and alluded to his “problems “ with personal taxes. Even if this is a nothing burger, they will go after it with all they have.
I looked at the headline and laughed. I said to myself this must be another CNN (s)hit piece. Close enough. It’s The Atlantic.
I listened to the speech. This speech was no different than others he has made at the UN. When he does those kinds of speeches to the world community he stays disciplined, speaks evenly and sticks to the script.
PDJT surely is not panicking by any means. If anything he is trying to save democrats from themselves, and the cold, hardened resolution of the American people and the need to deal with traitors.
Trump raised $12 million or so in two days.
Since they can’t say anything to justify impeachment, they smear him because he’s fundraising to counter the media’s propaganda.
Every NEWS outlet slanders him for free. He has to raise millions to have half a chance to get his side of it out.
Yes, and WE PAY for PBS and NPR.
The article reads like it was written by The Squad.
When GWBush was president the Atlantic claimed he owned the Astros and he was buddied up with Ken Lay because they played at Enron Field.
It’s a crap rag prone to errors
If Congress impeaches Trump and makes it stick, I think they will learn first hand what the 2nd Amendment is really for.
Just checked, yep, now the whole satanic media is calling for a Pence Imprachment as well. This is going better than I hoped. Red Tsunami 2020!!!
Trump works for us. Even Rush is all wrong on this on his day after Pelosi announcement show. Three hours with the premise that Trump is motivated by pride.
I do not know why people don’t get this. Again - Trump is very similar in background and in thinking as my late father - also from Queens well educated, successful in business and with people. Mercilessly so
I realize the majority of the electorate like trump and trust him
But the commentary but even conservatives wonder
Trump works for us. He understands civics as well as the philosophy of the constitution
He is driven to protect and prepare the country and he realizes he uniquely can do it. That’s not pride by the way. It is ironically humility. To know one’s place even if it is yuge.
The left knows Trump better than most like the enemy (satan) knows Jesus.
We are watching a show down beyond our perceptive abilities. They are actually after us, Trump is just in the way. And President Trump will win. We will win.
They are panicking because the truth will come out and Trump is not cowered into suppressing it. Nor are we
One of the greatest speeches ever
That putrid Atlantic has been publishing excrement for years. Unbelievably and unashamedly biased.
Atlantic might-—possibly-—have value as something on the kitchen floor to help train a new puppy about asking to go outside.
Then the dog owner will have to distinguish if the journalists’ stories or the dog poo is on the pages on the floor. Tough one.
"Let's get ready to rumble!"
It is time for the base to be called to Washington. If not Trump, then Conservatives need to organize an enormous presence that would surround the Capitol and make clear the consequences of any vote to remove the President. They won’t just be getting rid of President Trump; they will get rid of themselves and the existing government. The movement needs to be very large and well organized, not just scatterings of supporters.
Walls are closing in! It’s the beginning of the end! He’s on the ropes!
The left are projecting again. They fear the reaper (apologies to Blue Oyster Cult).
“trying to save democrats from themselves.”
They’re so surprised to realize that Trump is never about saving people from themselves
He is the antithesis of an enabler
He will be very busy working for us while they slide off the rat infested listing wet ship
and not even look.
