To say he is living rent-free in their heads, is a huge understatement. And nothing they could do, would strike his ego more. And they’re too stupid to see it.

He’s manipulating them like a puppeteer. he has Nancy pelosi defending MS-13 for Christ’s sake, and the gop has already produced commercials if her defending them against trump calling them animals. That’s not going to win democrats any votes that they don’t already have. Trump is playing them like a Stradivarius.

Truth !
Unless the Left can deliberately tank the economy while the right gets blamed, the re-election isn’t going to be close !!!

It SHOULDN'T be close given the economy, and given how un-hinged the left has become. But it's very common for a new President's party to lose seats in the next midterm. Then, you can argue that none of the traditional rules apply to this guy.

So who the hell knows?

The GOP should gain seats in the senate, they got very lucky with which seats are up for re-election this time (many democrats are up in states that Trump won bog, they only won 6 years ago because they rode Obama's coattails).

Most people think the Democrats will make big gains in the house, but these are the same people who convinced me that Trump had no chance.

Who knows.

What I do know, is that the Democrats will do everything they can, to avoid talking about the economy. That issue is a big-time loser for them right now.

Donald J. Trump

@realDonaldTrump
Why aren’t they firing no talent Samantha Bee for the horrible language used on her low ratings show? A total double standard but that’s O.K., we are Winning, and will be doing so for a long time to come!

Funny he didn't ask for Barrs firing

he's a straight up Mob boss pardons his friends and those who show him support

and attacks every one else he is completely Transparent in theses .. issues


He makes and unmakes laws without the consent of Congress; he spends trillions of government dollars; and the greatest of decisions, whether to commit his country to war or lay down our arms, is made by him alone. His ability to reward friends and punish enemies exceeds anything seen in the past. He is rex quondam, rex futurus – the once and future king.

this comment was not directed towards Trump

it was towards Barack Obama is a king, not a president in 2014 by Fox news

"Funny he didn't ask for Barrs firing "

If Barr didn't get fired, there would be no double standard. Given that Barr was fired first, a compelling case can be made that Bee should be fired. They didn't use the same exact language, but I don't see the logic by which attacking someone's race is a fire-able offense, but attacking someone's gender is not. Liberals like to claim that they are the ones who protect women. Why shouldn't that apply to Ivanka Trump? Because she's a republican.

She called Trump's daughter the worst word there is to describe a woman. Given what we know about Trump, he's not going to let that go. Bush would have let it go, not Trump (not Obama either, Obama was also very thin-skinned).

Trump and Obama are alike in a few ways - both thin-skinned babies with zero tolerance for criticism, both added a lot to the debt, both egomaniacs ("let today be the day we remember as the day the waters stopped rising and the planet began to heal", that's paraphrasing, but boy was Obama an egomaniac), who would never admit they were wrong and change course.

Bill Clinton tried liberal economics, it didn't work, so he let Newt Gingrich prepare a budget, Clinton signed it, and it worked amazingly well. Clinton was a scumbag like Trump, but a good president IMHO.
