What Trump really needs
2017-08-28
h/t Gates of Vienna
Republicans on Capitol Hill lament President Trump's aggressive behavior toward them, but some people in the president's orbit are urging him to up the ante even further.

They say that, far from making nice, Trump needs to instill fear so that lawmakers do not feel at liberty to thwart him.

"Most members of Congress are arrogant, and until a scalp is actually taken they are going to continue to be defiant," longtime Trump friend Roger Stone told The Hill. "All he needs to do is punish one incumbent and I think you’d see a sea-change."

#2  What Trump Really Needs

...somehow I suspect he's getting on a regular basis.

#1  I've thought such for a long time. Trump should make an effort to appear in states where he's gotten a lot of Republican push-back. Give a public relations moment or two to someone likely to primary against the Republican causing him trouble. You'll see that Republican reform, or better yet replaced without necessarily losing numbers in the midterms. Politicians only understand one thing, their phones Bologny jobs.
