Trump fends off 'Showboat' Comey and the federal zombies
[American Thinker] He pleaded the case of a loyal soldier, rather than forsake retired U.S. Army lieutenant general Michael Flynn to the mercies of FBI director James Comey. And he asked for loyalty from the congenitally disloyal. You'll agree: President Donald Trump is being indicted on technicalities and on personal style.Distill the president's unremarkable actions, subject to a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing, and it becomes clear that the establishment ‐ for sensible people outside the Beltway have dissociated from the Russia-collusion phantasmagoria ‐ is indicting Trump on the plain, impolitic speech that catapulted him from candidate to president. Trump is "aggressive and oblivious to the rules of engagement," fumed CNN's sibilant Chris Cillizza, formerly of the Washington Post. Correct. But was the language of combat you deployed, Mr. Cillizza, a Freudian slip? The president's linguistic infelicities ‐ a word salad, at times ‐ have given the press popinjays and their Washington overlords the foothold needed to go after him. Throw in the "bad" habits of a businessman he has retained. Trump transacts with everyone ‐ Russians, too. We voted for deals, not wars. This is the sum and substance of President Trump's offenses ‐ and beating Hillary Clinton to the White House. Proponents of free markets understand how business operates. Statists don't. To the statist, the Fake News fabricator, and the stark raving mad Washington Post (WaPo), "Trump sitting next to Russian Ambassador Yuri Dubinin, at a luncheon hosted by Leonard Lauder, the oldest son of Estée Lauder," in 1986, is incriminating evidence...of something.
