| Pres. Trump admits to Alabama voters, backing Luther may have been a mistake |
| 2017-09-23 |
| [Breitbart] President Donald Trump admitted to Alabama voters Friday that he might have made a mistake by endorsing appointed Alabama Senator Luther Strange in the Republican primary. "We have to be loyal in life," Trump said. "There is something called loyalty, and I might have made a mistake and I’ll be honest, I might have made a mistake." Trump appeared in Alabama for a campaign rally for Strange, despite polling showing him still lagging behind his primary challenger conservative Judge Roy Moore. Trump predicted that if Strange lost, his political opponents and the media would cite it as a big loss for Trump, but that he wanted to repay the appointed senator for his loyal support in the Senate. "Both are good men," Trump said, referring to Strange and Moore. |

| #3 "We have to be loyal in life," Trump said. How about some loyalty to the people who actually voted for you, or the people who worked for you and are now being financially ruined by Mueller's myrmidons? Trump is making the classic mistake that all Republican officeholders make. He's treating his enemies better than his friends. And when you do that, you make a lot more enemies and a lot fewer friends. |

| #1 Presidential humility clearly illustrated in the admission of a potential mistake, along with an explanation of the decision process. Believe me, Alabamians and Southerners in general understand "loyalty" as it may ultimately relate to the larger issue of a bad decision. |
