Bush Speechwriter: Trump Is A Fraud

[OscarLevant]

But we already knew that ( the smart ones, anyway )

The problem for Trump is not only that he lost the most visible and important confrontation of his presidency — in negotiating with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) over the government shutdown. It is that his methods are so blunt and transparent. His typical tactic is to raise the stakes of a negotiation impossibly high — a government shutdown or nuclear war — then to make a maximal demand and trust in the triumph of his stronger will. It is a form of negotiation ended by someone saying “uncle.” That Trump ended up in abject humiliation was perhaps fated b

Meanwhile, in a variety of global negotiations, American opponents need only master one method: flattery. In Trump’s words, “I know people, because deals are people. . . . If [Russian President Vladimir] Putin respects me, and if Putin wants to call me brilliant, and other things that he said which were, frankly, very nice, I’ll accept that.” Taken at face value, Trump is arguing: Deals are people. People who praise me have good judgment. Thus, people who praise me make good deals. Hearing these sentiments from an American president is enough to gag a historian. It is pathetic gullibility elevated into the realm of theory. It should concern us that the American president is a source of global derision and national shame.

Trumpsters really should read the entire article, but they won't.

Guys like Trump always wear out their welcome, I have have been pointing this out for at least 18 months.

It's funny when a liberal attributes motive before and after the fact of themselves being shown to be a fraud, time and time again.

Posters like you Oscar, never learn and frankly, I never think you will. You're going to rot in your own little self made prison and the rest of us will just walk away from our computers freely. Not giving a care of how you proceed to verbally castrate yourself multiple times a day and continue to post little meaningless threads like this.

Also, the article is more than a little preachy and it's unfortunately still this one mans opinion.
An opinion that posters like you will gleefully put on this site, out of sheer desperation to be relevant.

One man's opinion that many other people agree with. I found the article to be accurate from what I've gathered over the past eighteen months. The only thing I knew about trump before the election, was his name on the casino I entered in atlantic city. Now I know much more about the man, he's a con man loser with a giant ego.

Yeah...and he has the President of NATO "lying " for him, the new trade deal with Mexico/Canada, that, I guess never happened, a BOOMING economy, ISIS reduced to a miniscule fraction of its former territory, etc. etc.

Now Bush is the Left' Big Hero....hilarious.

Trump is destroying the country, and the amazing thing , the most mind-boggling thing about it is it guys like you haven't noticed. What was that about rot?

Maybe there is an equivalent on RT for you to read. Make you feel right at home.

I rarely bother with Wapo opinion pieces. Your recommendation means it must be totally worthless.

Naturally, you'd say that, being a right winger, but you should read it, nevertheless.

Tis how it goes with Truth Tellers during Dark Ages.....I am used to it.

I got thrown out of my last home by the owner against all rules for example.

I was very clear about who I am and where I come from the minute I showed up here.

You just described a vast majority of the high end politicians & businessmen in the US.

Yeah, not that that being the whole point of the thread (i.e, you should read it) , and all, might have been the reason.

You rotting in your own little self.. made.. prison. Because that's what is obviously happening right here. Because I've asked more than a few liberal posters on this site about "exactly how" the man is destroying this country and all I get is more of the same.

Bluster, degradation and hyperbolism. It's become a sad display that I've unfortunately become very used to from nearly the entire left leaning sphere.

But by all means, if you have something to add that they missed. Go right on ahead.

puffing oneself up (by belittle others ) does not support an argument.

So much has been written about this. There are several books published currently about it.

I could go on for days, but you wont even look, you'll ask someone on this forum about it, and they, knowing how gargantuan the task is in answering it, don't bother, because why bother with you when you won't look, you'll just stick to your right wing sites ( I listen to Rush, Ann, Hannity, Dobbs, and others, to hear the opposing view, but do you read/listen to opposing views? I don't think you have, because if you have, you'd have the answer to your own question)

Bluster, degradation and hyperbolism.

Well, if such things bother you then you must hate Trump, he does all that in spades, a lot. You haven't noticed? Amazing.

They will write love letters to Trump in his jail cell. It is cultish behavior and their minds are closed like a steel trap.

I love it when right-wing nuts try to fit all people whose opinions differ with them into a tight little box. It's because their capacity to understand things is so limited their head would explode if they had to comprehend nuance.

I notice you haven't started a thread since last summer. Is this because you never have an original thought of your own and all you have the ability or desire to do is to trash liberals? That would be pretty pathetic.

lol...wow, you're almost poetic in your derision. That article must have struck a chord.

I don't see how this surrender could draw any other opinion. Trump overplayed his hand, and got slapped. End of story....other than to say, long overdue. His construction company tactics don't translate well to a machine like the US government. Not working well with others is not really the best trait to have as POTUS...maybe I'm wrong?
