The Power Trump Has To Wield Against The World Order And For America

Does Size Matter?
Even if they club together, for example, it is hard for other countries to match China’s clout in Asia. And there is no real substitute for America’s overall influence and power. The country spends more on defence than the next seven countries combined, produces 23% of global GDP (measured at market exchange rates) and has the world’s dominant currency. Still [some are hoping] that a joint effort can make a difference while Mr Trump is president. “A group of midsized and wealthy democracies could join forces and protect the rules-based world order.”

Tucker: Why ruling class loses control in Trump’s presence

Aug. 20, 2018 – 3:33 – Tucker: “Who’s dumber? No it’s not the man who can’t spell “respect.” For dumbness, MSNBC’s the Rev. Al Sharpton has nothing on the New York Times’ Michelle Goldberg.

2:37 minutes in:

Goldberg isn’t gaming our system, she is our system. … Trump terrifies the ruling class, whose main talents are glibness and obedience. That’s enough to succeed in the globalized economy. That’s what the system requires. Lemming-like conformity. On some level, the elites know they’re not very impressive and it worries them. Instead of aiming to become more impressive, they maintain their rule by bullying. … They’re guilty. They’ve watched the country decline, as they’ve ascended. They know what they’ve done. They understand how much they have to lose by changing the way things are.

Tucker is the only non-mediocrity at Fox.

Rudy Giuliani Is Doing Political PR; He’s NOT Protecting The President Legally

Donald Trump, Justice, Law, Politics, Republicans, Russia

“The White House is trying to downplay signs of trouble after the New York Times reported that White House counsel Don McGahn has cooperated extensively with the Russia investigation.”

CNN has learned that McGahn’s attorney did not give President Trump’s lawyers a full debrief after McGahn sat down for almost 30 hours of interviews with Robert Mueller’s team. CNN’s sources are saying that the president’s attorneys, well, did not ask for a debrief. (SEE Transcript)

More worrying is that, in Rudy Giuliani, the president has hired a political noise-maker.

Giuliani’s legal acumen is manifestly poor. When commentators wonder whether he even reads up briefs on the Mueller witch-hunt—one cannot disagree. It always sounds like Giuliani is flying by the seat of his pants.

America’s favorite former mayor is doing political PR; he’s not protecting the president legally.

So, where are all the president’s good men? And yes, Don McGahn is a big, dangerous deal.

 

POTUS Trump Neglects Super Stupid Chris Cuomo And Owes Dogs An Apology

As time goes by, my appreciation for President Trump’s noble mission and effortless ability TO DRIVE LEFTIST POND SCUM STARK RAVING BONKERS only increases. But on the matter of Omarosa Manigault Newman, Trump does owe an apology …

… To the dog community for comparing dogs to Omarosa. Animals have feelings, too.

Trump, moreover, should stop discriminating against CNN’s Chris Cuomo and call him names, just as he does Don Lemon. Cuomo gives fellow anchor Mr. Lemon a run for his money. The first is way dumber and sanctimonious than the second. And when the two get together in the segue between their shows, it’s a storm of stupidity and sanctimony.

For his stupid credentials, watch (or read) Cuomo:

My bad: Trump did trash Cuomo, but that was in 2017.
