quote:

Barrack, in interviews with The Washington Post, said he has been “shocked” and “stunned” by some of the president’s rhetoric and inflammatory tweets. He disagrees with some of Trump’s proposals, including his efforts to ban immigrants from certain Muslim countries and his push for a border wall with Mexico. He wonders why his longtime friend spends so much of his time appealing to the fringes of American politics.

“He thinks he has to be loyal to his base,” Barrack said. “I keep on saying, ‘But who is your base? You don’t have a natural base. Your base now is the world and America, so you have all these constituencies; show them who you really are.’ In my opinion, he’s better than this.”


What a beta cuck.

Few people are closer to Trump than Barrack, his friend for three decades. Barrack helped rescue Trump’s real estate empire years ago. He was the top fundraiser for Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign. He turned down a Cabinet offer, preferring to be an outside adviser, although his name is still mentioned as a potential White House chief of staff should Trump decide to choose a new one. Above all, Barrack has remained unfailingly loyal to Trump, who he sees as a shrewd politician.

Interesting nugget

quote:

“I really need to get to” Trump, Manafort said, according to Barrack. He told Barrack he wanted to work as Trump’s convention manager, helping him navigate what they expected would be a contentious affair.

That's easy. The 306 electoral votes representing the sentiments of voters. Obama is really dumb.

Trump, "I must be loyal to my base."

Thomas Barrack, "Your base now is the world...".

One is president and one is not. One will be reelected and one will not.

sell outs is such a bland term from antiquity

being spineless appeasers falls perfectly into the essence of what a "cuck' is

I guess the shills are getting paid now to put out stupid shite narratives like this in hopes of quashing stories like the one about the Far Left's favored feminist son, Harvey Weinstein...

I don't think this term means what he thinks it means.

I'm aware that I may be in a bubble of my own with lots of confirmation bias, but "coastal elites" really don't seem to be aware of what constitutes "the fringe". Their bubble seems to be opaque, while mine is transparent, or translucent at worst.
