Trump Is Right: Someone Is Out to Get Him

President Donald Trump, “who has never been convinced that his aides have his best interests at heart, has felt increasingly aggrieved” in recent months. We have that word from two reporters for the New York Times, Maggie Haberman and Katie Rogers, and it fits with what we have seen from him in public.

The reporters explain Trump’s anger as a function of his “sense of paranoia.” But this is typical MSM nonsense. Trump is absolutely right that someone in his administration keeps undermining him.

<snip>

Somebody in the administration fired James Comey as FBI director and then couldn’t stick to a straight story about why he was fired, leading to the appointment of a special counsel to investigate it.

Trump has reason to be angry at whoever blew his chance at getting a deal to fund a wall at the southern border. First someone told the Democrats that they could get an amnesty for illegal immigrants who came here as minors without having to agree to any additional measures to enforce immigration laws. Then someone in the administration insisted that there would be conditions, maximalist ones.

The total failure of Trump's administration is because of one man.

Let me think... who could it be?

Hmm...

back together again. You can mouth off all you want, but that doesn't win the prize. Careful and thoughtful legislation, jointly developed by both parties, not RUMP's executive actions, and not the actions of repugs who
are passing very partisan laws (tax law of 2018, which is adding trillions to the government debt, substantially awarded just the donors of the repugs, and no one else).

Over 83% of the benefits of this tax law are going to the top 1%. As well as adding to the national debt, take a wild guess as to who is going to have to pay for this ill-written bill? Us, the American taxpayer.

Thanks, RUMP and repugs, for nothing.
