“Some of them are screaming at the tsunami, or at the sky, and trying to set fire to the ocean.”
What a succinct and telling description.
The beauty of the situation is, Trump has already demonstrated, dozens of times, since June, 2015, that he’s not worried about what liberals or media-types think. If he thinks he’s right and has majority support, he just goes ahead and does it. (Ending foreign abortions, naming cabinet members, preventing muslim intervention, building a wall, naming a conservative to the court, etc.)
He’s doing so many things, so rapidly, that when they are screaming about one thing, he’s done two more things they hate. They can’t keep up. I am beyond impressed.
Steely Tom is quoting the natives after the 1883 Krakatoa eruption/tsunami which turned the skies blood red, which the Dutch painting the Scream depicts. I’m gonna make a thread about it if he won’t :)
That's precisely how President Reagan operated, especially during his first term.
The MSM-Democrats were uniformly negative. He couldn't do anything right, and every single thing he announced, the MSM-Democrats said would never work, starting with the PATCO strike, through his strategy for handling the USSR, including SDI (Star Wars).
Every bit of positive economic news was minimized and reported grudgingly. Every positive jobs report was bundled with an equal number of words saying the jobs were hamburger-flipper jobs, or that the decreasing unemployment rate was raising the "specter of inflation" (which never happened).
He ignored the Left and the MSM, which I believe is why the Democrats took to calling him stupid, in various ways, including Tip O'Neill (Speaker of the House) calling him an "amiable dunce" on camera, on national television. They thought he had to be a dunce if he didn't see that he had to kow-tow to them.
Slowly but surely, the signs that we were on the right track became obvious. Everyone could see that things were improving.
But the MSM-Democrats kept trying, and in RWR's second term, they drew blood with Iran-Contra. Even then, President Reagan kept on plugging, not wavering from his three big goals: turning the economy around, rebuilding the military, and ending the cold war.
He accomplished all three, and lived long enough to see the Berlin Wall fall, just as he demanded, in person.
“He’s doing so many things, so rapidly, that when they are screaming about one thing, he’s done two more things they hate. They can’t keep up. I am beyond impressed.”
That’s the Obama template .. remember, he was making so many changes so rapidly, WE couldn’t keep up. Now President Trump is the Obama template on steroids.
