Tweets Trump, setting the narrative, in which he is the protagonist.
There are different ways to respond to this cue. Just to pick from the tweets displayed directly under Trump's right now, there's:
The democrats hate President Trump more than they love this country. They are so emboldened with hate they are blinded.And:
President Trump has weathered many storms, and he will continue to ride high on the seas of destiny. He will eliminate the entire government completely, day by day, one by one. He will reign alone, and within the ruins of the demon-scape his truth will be the only sound

He's right. The Democrats HATE that he is not a politician, and all of their little secrets are coming out. They hate that he is "draining the swamp" and they can't become millionaires off of taxpayers and lobbies like they used to. The most TRANSPARENT Presidency of my lifetime!!!
Getting nothing done is a feature of the Constitution: better than nothing is a high standard.
Everything happens as if the most engrossing narrative wins.
19th amendment via news media profit centers.
Two Bidens shake down the Ukraine for bribes so we must impeach Trump!
The democrats hate President Trump more than they love this country
This is a tough one because the Democrats don't even want the USA to exist (No Borders, No Wall, No USA At All.) I would have said "The Democrats hate me more than they hate the USA."
A guy would take the systems approach. Act so that the system is stable. Hence gentlemen's agreements that used to work in government.
He will eliminate the entire government completely, day by day, one by one.
If by "eliminate" you mean troll-level instigate the self-immolation of his enemies, yes, all is proceeding according to plan.
Trump isn't especially conservative - very middle-of-the-road. Ironically, the Democrats could have accomplished a lot of their agenda if they had been willing to work with him.
In the Aughts, the Democrats tried to make the country lose a war to deny Bush a victory and to win in 2006 and 2008. Nothing new here.
Uh, Abraham Lincoln?
I can't decide if the second follow-on tweet is pro or anti Trump...
The democrats hate President Trump more than they love this country.
Democrats have enabled this theme for the elections. Par example, on CNBC just now: Last week Pelosi was interested in coming together for a deal on NAFTA. Now that the left is obsessed with impeachment instead there'll be no deal. Now Trump can head to Michigan and WI and Ohio and point out he's trying to work for them while the Democrats don't care about you.
The Ukraine Turn will conveniently make anything Barr may do about Russiagate seem like yesterday's news at best (it will no doubt be framed as a 'distraction' from the current fever).
Barr blew it.
The only one who Trump can count on is Trump.
Unleash the Kraken.

Behind the weirdness is a vacuum where a set of democrat policies for governing the country should be. None of the ones broadly advocated by their caucus poll well, and so impeachment theater, and possibly impeachment, it is. Gin up the base and hope for overwhelming turnout, because you've lost the center.
Not really irrational.

TDS is a real problem.
The real question is why the Huge Hatred.
The hatred of Trump is worse and more vicious than anything since Nixon.
Even worse than Bush 2.
My guess is because Trump attacks back, and is constantly destroying Overton windows on what is considered the norm, that have been created by liberals over the years. He is also fighting a bit of the culture war.
The hatred of the never Trumpers is more crazy, I think they are a small minority that the msm gives the spotlight as True Republicans, but a but are actually a small minority of Republicans.
Has Trump gotten a dog yet?
He could get one from a shelter.
Just to watch all his detractors give their shelter dogs back.
Trump haters used to go to Soul Cycle.
Now they can only pedal in their minds.
President Lincoln would like a word with President Trump.
Total drama queen. He's an entertainer not a serious man, NTTAWWT.
Michelle Lujan Grisham, our new governor, has just announced that NM will adopt California fuel standards for cars starting in 2022 and has ordered a rainbow flag to fly at the "roundhouse," the state capitol building. This is a moral necessity and not at all political, she says.
Just wait until the IG report is released! All this lawlessness will be revealed, and people are going to jail!!
It's due to come out in March, 2018. Wait- now they say May. Hold on...October 2018, just ahead of the mid-terms.
This spring. This spring for sure. Maybe later this summer.
Any minute now.....
As ARM reminds us, Democratics who wished to break up the country to keep blacks as slaves did treat a previous president worse than they have Trump, so far. It is good to be reminded how far Democratics will go for politics.
Thanks, ARM.
A reminder of how evil Democratics are - always welcome!
Bwaaaaaaaa
100% agree with wendybar @ 7:04.
It is so unbelievably refreshing to hear unfiltered thoughts via Twitter even if we don’t like everything he says and thinks. It’s transparent and it’s a good thing, especially compared to the filtered PC-speak we always get from DC. People who insist he is not PC enough are totally missing the value of transparency.
Don’t piss on my leg and tell me it’s raining.
Can't wait to see how these announcements (and others of the kind) will play in Rio Arriba County.
Never do an enemy a small injury.
Longer version:
Upon this, one has to remark that men ought either to be well treated or crushed, because they can avenge themselves of lighter injuries, of more serious ones they cannot; therefore the injury that is to be done to a man ought to be of such a kind that one does not stand in fear of revenge.
The Prince, 1513
Never strike a king unless you are sure you shall kill him.”
Emerson
Still good advice today.
My beliefs is Barr is being careful in preparing his attack against the plotters in the attempted coup against Trump. I am amazed how high this went, and how many people in justice and the fbi have been fired or resigned, but they have a lot of allies still in high places of power. Senate Intelligence Committee looks like full of accomplices.
Not sure that boasting how the party of Lincoln is now lead by the pussy Trump is really strengthening your case.
Total drama queen. It's all about him all the time. "Ooohh, no ones been treated worse than me". Man up loser.
Via Lucianne:
One of the attorneys representing the person who anonymously filed a complaint against President Donald Trump claiming Trump asked Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter has a resume that includes working for Senators Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.). As The Federalist reports, "Andrew Bakaj, now a managing partner at the Compass Rose Legal Group, interned for Schumer in the spring of 2001 and for Clinton in the fall of the same year, according to Bakaj's LinkedIn page." The Federalist notes that Bakaj's resume also includes stints at the CIA and Pentagon
I think he has a case, however ...
“Hey! Hey! LBJ!
How many kids did you kill today?”
The NY Times is ghastly today.
Doing it's damnedest to bury the story of the Bidens blackmailing the Ukraine and soliciting (and receiving) bribes by printing story after story advocating Trump's impeachment for the sin of exposing the Bidens' corruption.
This schrodinger complaint, is sue gordons payback for trying to declassify.
Drudge needs to calm down. He already has the impeachment vote done and moving to the Senate, while almost everyone else recognizes nothing changed from even a week ago.
Why are democrats allowed to be mob-boss corruption money grubbing money whores?
Is it that they are all in together. All Peter STrozk-Hillary-Weinsteen-BillJeff rapists?
This "Show me who's got the biggest dick!" bit that obsesses by Howard and ARM is abysmally stupid.
Their "Don't cry like a little boy" bit is incredibly dumb, too.
This type of high school boy idiot chatter and bravado should embarrass both Howard and ARM.
Presidents Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley and Kennedy could not be reached for comment.
Bakaj was reputedly in ukraine in 2002, the same year zylochevsky founded burisma.
@Leland: Not sure what happened to Drudge but it seems like it's become a total anti-Trump propaganda site. It makes me wonder if there's been some kind of silent takeover there, like some Soros type secretly purchased editorial control from Matt.

Donald has no choice, it's the direct way cucks relate to him in the brain stem. He knows his drama queen audience well enough to get ratings.
ARM, you're flailing and it's glorious.
Orange Man Bad, amirite?
A few things to mention, one, the Democrats are now a batshit crazy mob. They are not legislators anymore. Second, the Republican legislators are the most spineless things in the world. Even flatworms outclass the current Republican elected officials. Third, if the mob shines the light on Ukraine, Joe Biden and the former President loses. This will happen no matter how the democratic operatives in the media frame the narrative. This is simply the most destructive sequence of events to the United States I have ever witnessed. May God help us.
I like Narciso's description of this as a Schrodinger complaint. The content of Trump's call to Zelensky doesn't matter, all that matters is having a pretext to do what they are already doing. The democrats are beyond recovery.
Leland, Drudge is a bellows, and he fans flames. I see a lot of people believe he's soured on Trump, but to me it looks like he's just increasing the drama and helping structure the narrative into arcs. Trump is in great danger now is more exciting to read about.
I have to think part of the Jeffery Epstein "suicide" was a message to Trump: you may have pardon power, but we can get to people in prison, right in front of your and the world's nose.
Invincible.

So Trump is like Lincoln! I think President Lincoln's words would be something on the order of,
Keep up the good work! As they hated me, they shall hate you. I'm so glad you have the Secret Service now. Guess I should have authorized them a little sooner, ha, ha!

You Democrats have not been this angry at Republicans since we freed your slaves. Then you were still angry and started the KKK and set up a system called "Jim Crow."
Now you want to try to impeach a guy who has black unemployment the lowest it's been since slavery.
Pretty consistent, I'd say.
The list of corruptocrats in Nancy's corrupt corruption body - where a shit ton of CA corruptocrats stole their seats the morning after the election - why they all want to Impeach over....
A phone call that might have something to do with Hunter Biden's money whoring.
Wow, I like that second one. Reminds me of myself at work.
ARM: "President Lincoln would like a word with President Trump."
Lincoln was not more mistreated than Trump in terms of the use of US federal power against domestic political opponents.
Last time I checked, Booth was not a member of the corrupt dem deep state. He was just an early antifa/pro-dem Bernie-Bro type.l
Doing it's damnedest to bury the story of the Bidens
Funny to see the haters coach each other on Twitter - "Nooo no no it's not about Biden! That's what the Trumpers will say!"
Blitzer: “Nancy Pelosi, the speaker?”
Trump: “Well, you know, when she first got in and was named speaker, I met her. And I’m very impressed by her. I think she’s a very impressive person. I like her a lot. But I was surprised that she didn’t do more in terms of Bush and going after Bush. It was almost — it just seemed like she was going to really look to impeach Bush and get him out of office, which, personally, I think would have been a wonderful thing.”
Blitzer: “Impeaching him?”
Trump: “Absolutely, for the war, for the war.”
Blitzer: “Because of the conduct of the war.”
Trump: “Well, he lied. He got us into the war with lies. And, I mean, look at the trouble Bill Clinton got into with something that was totally unimportant. And they tried to impeach him, which was nonsense.”

AG Barr, according to WH transcript, was being enlisted to help Ukraine open a case on Trump’s political opponent.
He’s also now in charge of evaluating a criminal referral to DOJ on whether Trump’s behavior violated campaign finance laws.
The entire time of President Trump in politics and the media since he announced his candidacy seems like it was written to be a successful soap opera. It has a very story-like development all the way. Every day something new and always tomorrow's episode promising more of what got you to watch all along. It's never completely satisfying one way or the other, but it continuously compels you to see what will happen next. There are no dead periods, no dark dates. The unfolding of the events and stories seems to be carefully choreographed to maximize your attention. It's too much of a contrived drama to be real life. It makes me think we may really be in the matrix after all.
I think Lincoln was treated badly.
Garfield too. Plus McKinley. And JFK. And Reagan.
A reasonable man with unreasoning anger. It seems that the majority of you lot are college kids or public sector employees.
East St Louis Illinois is having it's budget garnished by the public employees pension fund. About 40% of it. EStL is essentially broke. The rest of the state to follow.
"AG Barr, according to WH transcript, was being enlisted to help Ukraine open a case on Trump’s political opponent."
Is Biden immune becuase he's running for President? Just like banks being robbed becuase that's where the money is. Biden is where the corruption is, and he admitted to it. Is he really supposed to get a pass like Hillary did just because he's running against Trump. You know damn well that if it was Trump who did what Biden did you would be of the opposite opinion about a President doing this.
ARM, at least, is consistent. Trump was against the Iraq war. ARM is upset about that.
I guess that means you were for the war, right ?
I missed the part of the transcript about Barr " help(ing) Ukraine open a case on Trump’s political opponent."
I guess that was in the double secret probation part of it.
Nice work, ARM
"Trump: “Well, he lied. He got us into the war with lies. And, I mean, look at the trouble Bill Clinton got into with something that was totally unimportant. And they tried to impeach him, which was nonsense.”
Trump is simply wrong on both counts, and it's disappointing for him to be saying that, but if you watch much media, which he does, you get misinformed.
"Presidents Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley and Kennedy could not be reached for comment."
Partly because of technology, but it's impossible that any of those Presidents endured even 10% of the number of negative news stories and opinions in the media against Trump. Just imagine a simple tally of words alone used to attack this President. And that's despite his Presidency not being extreme in any way. His policies are not radical. He's not responsible for a war, getting Americans killed in far off lands or killing each other by the thousands. There is not economic turmoil, and American are better off than they have been in decades. How does that kind of Presidency deserve such animus? Mass derangement.

Using Trump’s own words are always the best way to go. That was a gem.

That's an interesting one, narciso, and it looks like the timing of her defenestration and the origins of this issue are similar.
When did ARM decide to become Inga and just paste quote after quote from Democrat sites like it is supposed to convince anyone?
It's exactly like trying to prove your thesis that Jews are evil by citing to works by Himmler, Alfred Rosenberg, and various Islamic Jihad Imams.
Of course they are going to say that, lying and twisting the truth. Why should anyone believe anything you guys cut and paste? If I want to read Democrat Daily Distortions, I can read the NYT myself. It's not meant to convince anyone; it's meant to lay out the Official Word that no Democrat Dare Diverge from.
If nothing else, ARM and Inga are faithful leftists who will gladly, gladly, argue whatever the Party says to argue, even if it contradicts what they argued yesterday. If the NYT publishes a story saying the sky is hot pink, Inga and ARM will happily mock anyone who says otherwise... and the next day when the NYT says the sky is green, they with faithfully denounce any "Pink sky-era" as deluded.
People complaining about how the press is worse to Trump than anyone ever should google American Aurora.
Two great Truths revealed by Trump: 1) Democrats, including the leftmediaswine, are unrepentantly corrupt and demented; 2) It is likely that at least 50% of our once great nation are okay with that.
A third unfortunate truth is revealed by Laslo at 7:20: “The only one who Trump can count on is Trump.”

There are a lot of thankless tasks in this world but trying to get Drago out of the bubble must rank very close to the top. Still, good effort.
Inga @9:45 notes that, “using Trump’s words are (sic.) always the best way to go...”, quoting some other Democrat bimbo.
That’s not a bad course of action with Biden either (Biden to the Ukrainian government) “If the prosecutor’s not fired, you’re not gettin’ the money.”
"A couple of hours ago, Trump tweeted out a statement from Fox News: “You don’t see a direct quid pro quo in this.” The word “direct” is doing some very heavy lifting there."
I finally figured out ARM’s avatar, his head really is made of stone. Biden’s toast, yet here you are spending your day vainly trying to defend him. Accusing Trump on the thinnest gruel of doing stuff that Biden has admitted to and that the Ukrainians have put in writing that the Democrats actually did.
At this point the Democrats are just defending their delusions so that their base doesn’t get too discouraged. Putting on a brave face, but Trump just pantsed you guys and it ain’t pretty. You should ask yourself why you spend so much time trying to spin the plain facts beyond recognition in order to defend the millionaires and billionaires who have corrupted your party.
ARM: "There are a lot of thankless tasks in this world but trying to get Drago out of the bubble must rank very close to the top. Still, good effort."
Team Hoax Dossier/Hoax Collusion/Hoax Gang Rape charges checks in.
As you knew they would.
"A couple of hours ago, Trump tweeted out a statement from Fox News: “You don’t see a direct quid pro quo in this.” The word “direct” is doing some very heavy lifting there."
Words written by those who have foisted one hoax conspiracy after another on us for 3 years and yet, they somehow expect their latest hoax to be accepted and believed.
Well, sorry fellas. There are only so many Inga's and ARM's milling about who will buy this sort of nonsense over and over and over and over again.
Leave ARM alone. He is only in the first stage of grief, Denial.
Poor guy.
Joe Biden is now, officially, a zombie candidate.
He's already dead but he keeps staggering along pretending to be alive.
And no amount of spinning by the Althouse lefties is going to change that.

I did this. People don't fully appreciate the centrality of a free press to maintaining a democracy. Even if you hate both MSNBC and FOX you have to recognize the genius of US democracy in accommodating such diverse/crazy voices. Even quite good democracies like Australia and Britain have a more constrained press. Turkey currently has the most 'disappeared' journalists, apparently even more than Russia. The press is the first to get it in the neck when a 'strong man' grabs power. People were legitimately outraged at Trump's use of the term 'enemy of the people' in describing the press.
Presidents Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley and Kennedy could not be reached for comment.
It's revealing how the left immediately defaults to assassinated Presidents when talking about Trump.

Actually, ARM, it is you who are doing the heavy lifting. Fox is just waffling to leave delusion space for people who are unconcerned with evidence like you, Romney and Schumer. You know cucks and lefties.
Here’s some “direct quid pro quo”: “If you don’t fire the prosecutor, you don’t get the $billion.” No heavy lifting needed.
People were legitimately outraged at Trump's use of the term 'enemy of the people' in describing the press.
Oh, not at all. Not, at, all. If US media were being knocked off right and left like they are in Russia, the survivors would be much better journalists and much, much better people.
"People don't fully appreciate the centrality of a free press to maintaining a democracy”
That’s why it is so upsetting to see the press co-opted by the billionaire class and in this case, covering for obvious influence peddling and refusing to look at any election meddling by Democrats. The Democrat Party is now the party of the mega rich, and what mega rich people want most of all is a government that can be bought. Obviously this whole sordid affair, not to mention the part about taking over a billion dollars into Hunter Biden’s hedge fund immediately after his visit to China with his dad on Air Force Two, make it clear that the Democrats are the corrupt ones.
How does it feel to defend a man who takes his son with him on a plane bearing the seal of the United States so that his son can collect graft from he Chicoms,ARM?
Inga is here? I thought she was evicted.
