Only the grammar parsing intellectuals at NR have trouble understanding what Trump meant.

Never Trumpers are still “taking him literally while supporters take him seriously”.

The author is an @$$.

Trump should have left them to get the punishment they so deserved.

“Katherine Timpf”

I was wondering what Bill Kristol’s new nom de plume was.

In the sterile vacuum of a perfect world Kat Timph’s comments make sense and are strictly correct

In the real world of spoiled rotten brat entitlement and identity politics victim hood we live in, Trump's admittedly very un Presidential statement was spot on, appropriate and even necessary.

She’s right. Tweeting isn’t Presidential. The Presidential thing would have been to have US Marshals arrest LiAngelo, and turn him over to the USN for keelhauling, to the applause of a grateful nation. The charge: being named LiAngelo.

I”m getting very tired of these self important so called “journalists” telling us what is and isn’t presidential. Didn’t hear squat out of this -itch when Obama’s actions/comments were un-presidential — and there were a lot of those instances.

When “presidential” is defined by the likes of Clinton and Obama, I’ll take Trump any day as the “new” definition.

F-Trump was the answer to Trump.

These people are exposing the rot in their own hearts thanks to President Trump's gracious act toward a trio of thieving slugs.

That's how this president rolls. Only one domino was needed to start the cascade. Hillary: the first domino.

Best election ever.

Presidents aren’t Kings, they are employees of the people, they are BELOW the people so when I hear a US President talking like the average guy on the street I LIKE it because I know this is a President who knows his place. Compare that to someone like Hillary Clinton or John Kerry who view the people as mere spitoons who exist solely to serve them. That is what we do NOT need in Washington.

Timpf is with the anti-Trump National Review which my understanding is having difficulties raising enough funding to keep in business. Maybe Timpf is adding to their woes.

What Trump should have said in response to the ingrate father is that if the father had set a better example, his son would not have needed presidential help to get out of a very stupid mistake. But, now that the father has weighed in, it’s quite obvious why the son acted so poorly. #Realfathersraiserealmen.

Such BS. Obama had other ways to shame anyone he felt like shaming... he would simply call WaPo, NYT, late night comedy show producers, etc. and have them do the heavy lifting for him. Trump doesn't have that ability since they're all leftists who hate Trump.

Twitter is the only way Trump has to get his opinion out. Of course he could write an opinion piece for WaPo or something, but who reads that garbage... and WaPo would probably reword whatever he sent in anyway.

I figured out what the left means by Presidencial: Fake, Phoney, Obscurvative, e.g.

She’s the scrawny bitch on Greg Gutfelds show.

OMG, she’s the new Fox News neocon.

Now I understand where her loyalties lie.

Bill Kristol, Fred Barnes, Mort Kondrake all gone.

She’s their new hope? I loath neocons.

She is starting to make the Guttfeld show unwatchable.

Another ahole! They're multiplying over at NR!

Gratitude it is short supply in this country. Yesterday, the New York Times Sunday Review had at least 4 editorials from unhappy immigrants complaining about everything from Green Bean Casserole to being at a college that still had kids going home for Thanksgiving. (Administrators will soon fix that, undoubtedly.) Not one of them expressed love or gratitude towards the United States for taking in their refugee families.

This disgusting father not only didn't express gratitude, he disdained gratitude while at the same time making light of shoplifting in a dictatorship. The author is just another Never Trumper. If President Reagan had done this, she'd be jumping for joy.

I’m sure Trump had to give up something to get them out. I’m sure the Chinese made demands and he could have slow walked it, but he didn’t. They should have given’em a caning before they released them.
