Reason-
It really is quite simple. Everyone is smart except Donald J. Trump. That’s why they all are billionaires and all got elected President. Only Trump does not know what he is doing. Only Trump does not know how to negotiate with Vladimir Putin. Anderson Cooper knows how to stand up to Putin. The whole crowd at MSNBC does. All the journalists do.
They could not stand up to Matt Lauer at NBC. They could not stand up to Charlie Rose at CBS. They could not stand up to Mark Halperin at NBC. Nor up to Leon Wieseltier at the New Republic, nor Jann Wenner at Rolling Stone, nor Michael Oreskes at NPR, at the New York Times, or at the Associated Press. But — oh, wow! — can they ever stand up to Putin! Only Trump is incapable of negotiating with the Russian tyrant.
Remember the four years when Anderson Cooper was President of the United States? And before that — when the entire Washington Post editorial staff jointly were elected to be President? Remember? Neither do I.
The Seedier Media never have negotiated life and death, not corporate life and death, and not human life and death. They think they know how to negotiate, but they do not know how. They go to a college, are told by peers that they are smart, get some good grades, proceed to a graduate degree in journalism, and get hired as analysts. Now they are expert, ready to take on Putin and the Iranian Ayatollahs at age 30.
That is not the road to expertise in tough dealing. The alternate road is that, along the way, maybe you get forced into some street fights. Sometimes the other guy wins, and sometimes you beat the intestines out of him. Then you deal with grown-ups as you mature, and you learn that people can be nasty, often after they smile and speak softly. You get cheated a few times, played. And you learn. Maybe you become an attorney litigating multi-million-dollar case matters. Say what you will about attorneys, but those years — not the years in law school, not the years drafting legal memoranda, but the years of meeting face-to-face and confronting opposing counsel — those years can teach a great deal. They can teach how to transition from sweet, gentle, diplomatic negotiating to tough negotiating. At some point, with enough tough-nosed experience, you figure out Trump’s “The Art of the Deal” yourself.

Just now Martha McCallum was on Stuart Varney’s show on FBN and said everyone thinks Trump didn’t do well at the Putin Summit, in a derisive manner. No Martha, everyone doesn’t think that. I thought Trump handled it perfectly. I am sick of the so called Right-wing news bashing our President! Gah!
Fox doesn’t even try to hide it anymore. Pile on you overpaid teleprompter readers, pile on. BTW Tuesday, McCallum has always been a snide little smart ass.
Ask the average American or journalist to find Russia on a map…
Duh……….
Neil Cavuto is a smartass as is Chris Wallace. I too am tiring of FOX.
I’ll stick with Laura and her Angle, Rush, Sean, the two Marks, and, but out of course,iotw report, for my news and views. Most everything else is FAKE.
Great article / American Spectator.
What I find funny in all of this is the fact that Trump is arguably treating Russia worse than any American president since Ronald Reagan, specifically threatening to pop the bubble of their one trick pony economy by exporting oil and natural gas to Europe. And I don’t think it’s an idle threat…I can see him doing that full throttle.
There’s also the comparison of sending Ukraine actual WEAPONS to defend themselves, as opposed to the MRE’s that Barry bravely sent.
I’m not certain about the current sanctions as compared to other presidents, but they’re up there, with the threat of imposing more.
He’s thrown out Russian diplomats, and shut down their office buildings.
And he’s KILLED Russians on the battlefield in Syria. Russia sez they’re “mercenaries”, but everyone knows they’re “ghost soldiers” from Mother Russia.
So how does all that square with the line that Putin MUST have something on Trump? President BAD ASS is eating Putin’s freaking lunch, and these smarter than smart “journalists” think he’s a lap dog?
The fact is that Russia has ALWAYS tried to sow chaos in the United States, and they’ve REALLY hit the mother lode this time thanks to the hyperbolic rantings of the American Left.
The term “useful idiots” has never been so relevant.
#WalkAway is definitely a thing, then. Because it appears that the Deepers/Media are trying to orchestrate an astroturf walkaway to counter it. Watch for mediots to collectively stroke their chins and ask, “Is this disastrous summit finally the moment which made Trump supporters walk away from him?”
Only in your fever dreams, cretins.
they were the same ones who thought a community organizer was a genius too or a corrupt ex first lady child molesting scam artist was going to be the next president as well.
you cannot fix stupid.
If he’s so dumb, how does he keep beating them?
Any way you want to cut it the Socialist Propaganda Machine is in high gear. They feel Trumps given them an opportunity. Don’t be surprised if you see his approval rating being reported at 32% next week.
Now might be a good time to sign that E.O. and release all the documents.
Some on Fox get it. Many, many do not.
They’re making fools of themselves, swallowing the Democrats hook and will soon be boated, measured for size and returned to the water.
It’s disgusting to watch. So I haven’t for the most part.
When the democrats rolled out the treason charge that was a whopper of a fish tale that requires enormous chutzpah to pull off.
Did President Trump lift sanctions on the largest state sponsor of terror, lavish them with billions and advance their nuclear ambitions?
No. That was obama and the Democrats committing treason.
Did President Trump release 5 Taliban officers in exchange for an army defector and traitor?
No. That was obama and his henchmen in the democrat party committing treason.
Did President Trump open our borders to invaders worldwide and put up every roadblock to prevent Trump from securing our national sovereignty.
No. That’s obama and democrat treason.
Did President Trump cause the (admittedly flawed) country of Libya to fall into chaos and abandon an ambassador and three security forces to be killed by terrorists with no response?
No that was obama, Hillary and the rest of the treasonous Democrats.
Not buying the charge of treason from the party of treason.
Too rough on obama? We could do Bill Clinton next. Taking a little kid from America at gun point to return to a communist dictator. Giving China access to missile guidance technology.
Shut the fuck up about treason you assholes and go find yourselves Fox News. You’ve lost me.
The most treasonous words ever uttered by a President were, in my humble opinion, “tell Vlad I’ll have more flexibility after the election.” Just what the hell did Obama mean by that, was never really examined. Imagine if President Trump had said that? Good Lord!

The entire thing is bull shit. Our media has done an excellent job of convincing a major chunk of our population that white is actually black and visa versa. While hiding behind the 1st amendment.
FooxUp Newz has become a dirigible venture. Trying to generate enough hot air for lift off.
You’re absolutely right, @MoeTom. I forgot to add that to my list, which is admittedly a microcosm of all of the treachery engineered by democrats.
Trump has been beating them like the big drum in a DumDum Parade, since he declared his candidacy, and they STILL have no clue that he’s cleaning their clock.
He mashed them all. The epitaph on every journalist’s tombstone will read FAKE NEWS for a generation. And he enjoys great support from the increasing number of us deplorables.
None of my neighbors tunes in to tv news or buys a paper any longer.
MakingAGA includes exterminating the deceitful pests in the media. Burn them and bury the ashes, Mr President.
This is spot on.

Nice truth-rant!
Everybody isn’t President but Trump is.
Great list PHenry! I took a screenshot and will be delivering it to the two doughheads at work that were listening to AC last night , and are “so embarrassed” with our president.
