FWIW Nancy Reagan sought out and maintained an astrologer during the rest of his term for advice after the assassination attempt but no one knew about it until the end of his term. She received some negative news about that.

yes this is a gaffe:
Only to those who don’t know the law. The President has the authority to declare an emergency on this subject. Period. The left tried this with the travel ban too. Took snippets from speeches and claimed his motivation was racism. How did that work out? Leftists love to apply emotion and any argument that doesn’t actually consider the law. They will lose again.

jimdog you appear to be a conservative, yet you also seem to have bought into what the left has told you to think. Please, realize the error of your ways and find your way back to sanity.

much as his tweeting drives me to absolute and utter madness, I have reluctantly come around to this. There is no other way. They are not going to stop attacking Republicans no matter what they do.
Remember in 2006 when McCain was the most vile and evil man on the planet earth? Yeah, how did that turn out? He became a a true conservative when he capitulated and supported their narrative.
Remember in 2012 when Romney abusive of his classmates? How did that turn out? He became a saint when he gave in and resisted the Trump administration.
I hate where we are in our political discourse. But as of right now, there is no other way. This is the war they have chosen. We have to fight or die.
Now you understand Trumpism

His communication skills have been both his strength and his weakness. He gets distracted sometimes by trivial shiny objects like crowd sizes. When he is going off on these tangents he is straying away from the important stuff. Just keep reminding the people the Democrats support open borders and raising your taxes and stop going off track and talking about who had what size of crowd where. You are trying to get re-elected, not win a dick measuring contest.

Opening himself up to endless criticism
You're right. If Trump acted nicer then the NYT would have articles on the front page every day saying:
'What a breath of fresh air to have such a dignified competent leader in the oval office. We owe a debt to Mr. Trump for stepping up and serving America when we most need it.'

Again, this is 100% not a distraction. Trump uses this to illustrate just how corrupt and dishonest the media is. They can't tell the truth about something as simple as crowd size. imagine what else they will, collectively and repeatedly, lie to you about.
"Fake News" stuck because Trump repeatedly illustrates the fact that they are fake, phony liars.

Your concern is duly noted.
It looks like you caught a few fish with that bait, congrats.

"I didn't need to do this" does not refer to declaration of emergency, but rather accepting the $1.37B wall funding
"I could do the wall over a longer period of time. I didn't need to do this, but I'd rather do it much faster."
So you are saying in a press conference about declaring a national emergency.. oh hell I give up

(1) He throws away the tweeting habit. Occasionally is ok but not this deluge of midnight tweets. Some that should never have been sent.
He's tweeted for two years. It's only helped him. Why are people still chicken littling over this? The tweets are fine.

(2) He hire an expert politician/public relations person smart enough to write his speeches/tweets and strong enough to control his urges. Plus knows when to keep your mouth shut. And get him on a positive message when he does speak. And manages his image. He had the mo after the SOTU but has clumsily probably lost it I fear. The majority are hungry for a leader with a positive leadership style and yes a reassuring presidential style.
Yawn.

You realize they had to make revisions to the travel ban?

I despise trump and would happily pile on if I thought the criticism was appropriate, but I can't get worked up over this.
I have to guess since the right has once again chosen a president who can't speak in coherent sentences, but I can see how he might have been trying to say that he didnt need to do this and he would have gotten the money another way, but because this is an emergency he wanted to do it faster. But that's not what came out.
It's idiotic but at least it's consistent, its a logical progression.
Its pretty clear to me that that was the intent of what he was saying. but the MSM can't be bothered to consider such a context because orange man bad. at least you are objective enough to see this. Thumbs up.

You realize those revisions to the travel ban ended up including more countries with fewer exclusions....

What revisions, specifically?

Logically he is correct and it can still be an emergency.
Point being the Dems played politics in the entire thing. It should of happened in congress there for no need for this. But, they playing games and all.

Isn't being "your own worst enemy" just a euphemism for being "stupid"?

Ud tiger......ur post is pure bullshite. The Initial post is potentially spot on though ....trump is his own worst enemy. He does retarded things with his tweets and lying. If he was not such a dick he could have been a good president.

Originally it allowed Christians exemption from the ban due to their disproportionately high persecution and victimhood in those areas. Liberal judges blocked the travel ban until we removed the exemption for some refugees seeking asylum. Also the ban at first only targeted 8 countries, the final version blocked 10-11.
Ironically Dems virtue signalling actually caused MORE people who were experiencing more radical persecution to be barred from entry. Forward!!!

The National Emergency Situation Room will be set up at Mar-A-Lago at an unspecified Par 3 hole. This is a real serious emergency. Divots must be repaired and mulligans severely limited.
