The message: Republicans better get behind Trump, or there’s going to be a real revolution.

I just forwarded the YouTube link to my family members. Living in the DC metro area, I believe he has it dead on. It’s even reflected in the driving habits around here - everyone appears to think they are more important than you are....not in a hostile manner, but infinitely confident that it is true.

Every Freeper needs to see this. Especially the take on self driving cars. He’s against them because of the job losses and there is no plan to have new jobs for the drivers out of work eight million of them.

"I honestly believe only God can intervene and help Trump save this country."

He has and will continue to do so. Have faith.

You’re right—what a fantastic speech!

Maybe a little long to go viral, but it should!

And it underscores just how much, maybe irretrievably, the Ryan/Pence/Priebus nexus has been letting him down.

I saw the video of the signing ceremony for his stupid, Ivanka-pushed bills charging NASA to inspire women in STEM, etc, and what stood out to me beyond the useless and misdirected banality of it was two things:

1) What a shame that he is wasting his early admin, or any part of his admin at all, on this small-bore stuff; and

2) How he didn’t even know, as he was reading their names off, most of the female Senators standing there at the ceremony with him. He didn’t seem either that interested in getting to know them, or that concerned about not knowing them.

He has essentially given the task of working with Congress to one of the congressional leadership’s (Ryan’s) lackeys (Priebus). The admin is going along without a staff—and with a stated, idiotic intention not to hire their own full WH staff even. Priebus is going along with the slow-walking not only of the approval of Trump’s nominees in the Senate, but of sending second and third-tier nominees up to the Senate approval hopper. The admin neither has nor apparently is intending to develop its own key bills to send to Congress. Instead they are “working closely” with Congress, until Congress rolls out its own, pet bills.

I truly think that Bannon and Trump were fooled by Priebus’s pretending to work with them on the campaign all along, and even having some of his underlings working to undermine Trump only when and until they had hope of forcing a last-minute replacement for Trump at the top of the ticket.

I don’t think they realize that when Priebus and the GOPe finally grudgingly went along with Trump over Hillary it was because they were convinced that they could really rig it such that Ryan was in effect the president until they could get rid of Trump.

Trump seriously needs to reboot his executive approach and replace his few, GOPe staffer approach with a many, loyal (and government-veteran) executive management style.

And stop with the dancing around the edges to “show” that he’s bringing back a few jobs here or there: he needs the massive tax cut plan that he proposed to go through in the same reconciliation budget that they are doing the Obamacare-lite bill in. And he needs to press on Congressional leadership (Ryan and McConnell), going over their head to the people about it, to get it done!!!

Well, people should realize that Secret Service Agents in Trump Tower, would have been regularly making automatic sweeps of the residence, and would have most certainly noticed if a wiretap was on Trump’s phone (one of the major things they would have checked).

I don’t think Al Sharpton is the opposite-doppleganger to President Trump, Tucker. And I also disagree that Trump, as a person, was not popular with voters and that it was only “what he proposed” that was popular. In fact, people were drawn to his humor, working-class phraseology, hard-charging energy and common sense. That, combined with his proposals, is what put him over the top.

I like Tucker, watch his show every night, but he verges on Never Trumpism in this speech. And if you don’t support Trump, I think you’re a status quo guy - something Tucker says he distains. So I’m confused.

Good post -- I'm still "wait and see," but you have done a great job of articulating the way you see it.

On the other hand, his take on driverless cars was brilliant. He’s a wildly intelligent, funny man. I forgive him for taking shots at my president!

listen from 5minutess 15seconds in. when Flynn was tapped, he was in Trump Tower -

6 March: NEWT GINGRICH FULL ONE-ON-ONE EXPLOSIVE INTERVIEW WITH BILL O’REILLY (3/6/2017)

I caught that. Then O'Reilly had the elitist Neo-Con Charles Krauthammer on. Dear God I despise that man.

“They argue against their own reporting. Never seen anything like it. Trump has them backed into a corner on this issue. Brilliant.”

Right. Either they report the truth or they lie with abandon. Most of us have decided they lie with abandon.

Yep. Just because someone is a gopher for Congressman Pantsonfire from Anystate USA doesn’t qualify them as being more important than a tourist driving on the Beltway with a Kansas tag on their car. My daughter lived in D.C. for 6 years and made the self-importance observation.

God help us that Trump doesn’t just continue to wait and see while what he needs to get passed and the timeframe he needs to get it passed in is pissed away.

Some stuff is out of his control though, Congress being one of those things.

No doubt, and I bet he would agree with hindsight, "he could have done better."

Congress is out of control because he has delegated legislation to them, rather than sending them his own proposals, and he has brought their own practical staffers (starting with Priebus) in to run his own WH.

Trump should have been sweet-talking both individual congress critters and the voting public on this stuff from day one.
