While I fully agree with his comments towards her, she openly spews views that very seldom are criticized by the media.

The Democrats were in a huge internal fight between newly elected progressives and moderate Democrats. By the way, if you'd have told me 5 years ago I'd call Pelosi moderate I would have called you a liar.

Trump should have waited a few more days to let their feud develop. Yet he made his comments just as things were escalating and turns all their attention on him; helping provide a reason for solidarity.

We can never question the presidents timing on these things. He has access to a lot more information than we do. This wasn’t done randomly. It was chosen for this time for a reason that we will never know

He was grumpy because someone showed him the videos from France's Bastille Day which were very impressive.

I disagree. The feud allowed Pelosi and others in the Dem party seem more reasonable and that they simply had some bad actors in their party to deal with. His actions caused them to rally to Ilhan's side and unified them as one party, thus painting the Dems (accurately) as extremist and hate-America types.

I agree 100%. Rather than sit back and watch them eat each other alive, he somehow managed to unite them.

I don’t agree. I think Pelosi Coming to the defense of the squad makes her look radical like them.

A lot of people will disagree with you, but Trump always comes out on top. He's not stupid. He did this for a reason.

I agree.

It did do this, but it also did other things, like shine a light on the stupidity of the claims of racism and also forced the left to come to the defense of the craziest reps they have, creating a snowball effect of lunacy.

And that is Trump's point.

If they do that, the American people see that they care more about the 4 ladies trashing the USA.

You are on brainwashed follower lamb. Embarrassing, dude. The OP makes a spot on opinion. Trump just unified the Quarreling Dems, and his timing was off. Also, initial public opinion from spot polls for independents on Trumps attacks are tracking against Trump. Many of my clients are political polling companies). Keep in mind, the Dems nor Reps are NOT going to elect the next president, it will again be which way the Indies break. Old political rule - never get in the way of your opponent when they are fighting each other. Trump frick this one up.

The OP made an opinion. It is spot on because it matches yours. It is not the only opinion on the comments. Settle down princess, it’s okay to differ from one another. We aren’t Democrats, we actually can think for ourselves. I get it. If someone see’s what Trump did differently from you it is due to brainwashing, you made your opinion known.

Can we all agree that discussions have no place for these comments. We can all civilly disagree but leave comments like that out of our words.


You agree with me and make great points, but you lose all credibility when you slander opposing views. It's their right to have their views much like you and I have ours.

You name your black German Shepherd Sanford and it's racist today. Harry because people say something is racist doesn't make it so, much like calling ICE detention centers concentration camps. Both are absurdly inaccurate.
