#1 It was stupid. There's no explanation. There's no excuse.

Trump obviously has nobody to warn him against this sort of blunder. Either there is nobody doing the job or Trump simply won't take any advice so nobody bothers to try to warn him.

#2 /\ I have thought the same for a very long time. He's tone deaf and apparently no one has the balls to provide a warning, or he has no one he trusts.

Solo "uncontrolled" take-offs and landings have their downsides.

#3 Sounds like a setup to me.

#4 Guess what, you're not getting JC to run for Prez. BTW, they crucified him too.

The republic is long over and isn't going to make a reappearance till all the power and money is drained from the Swamp. Till then you better find an effective tribal leader to protect your ass from the other tribes. You're not going to find such a leader among the wishy washy GOP who still play as though the old game was still going on. You are not going to get perfect. Better find someone that is just good enough. You might start with someone who actually delivers and worry about niceties later.

#5 Being pally with Kanye 'Ye' West to campaign for you is one thing. Letting the insane dude bring his homies over for a barbecue is another. Yupp, DJT never had the right advisors. I'm guessing he doesn't listen to anybody in the family either.

#6 ^ A pragmatic outlook with which i wholeheartedly agree. Unfortunately, a significant proportion of even GOP voters get their political directives from People Magazine, so a guy who has dinner with holocaust deniers and antisemites can't wave it away with "I didn't know..."

#7 I agree that it was a dumb move. I can also state with 100% confidence that when these things happen to Republicans, they are magnified 100 times and 500 times when it involves Trump.

I'll get over this one.

#8 As others have pointed out, the most glaring accusation about this dinner is that clearly Trump has no competent staff.

It also makes me question his security. Don't they screen his visitors because he is an assassination target of the IRGC for Suleimani?

I am personal friends of one of Trump's initial inner circle...oh, they have warned him and warned him in the past, he will not be controlled. Trump doesn't care and does what he pleases...that makes him a populist I guess, but he also intentionally exposes himself to backstabbers and political carnies...Trump's instincts are terrible and he doesn't seem to learn. He is like a combination of Julius Caesar and Nero that will not die...although the number of wounds in his back are taking its toll.

#10 Guilt by association is a Democrat attack that never works against them. Biden has met with BLM terrorists and there wasn't the firing squad here to scream about that. Bryd was a KKK Grand Kleagle. I see no point in worrying about this because we know Trump has nothing to do with them. Dem's were having dinner with Arafat all the time. Enough is enough and people need to learn that a picture or dinner does not indicate alliance and collusion.

#11 Trump has been condemned for every damn thing he does, why should this be so different? Too hell with what hey think.

Populist? No, fool possibly.

Thanks for your insights Tennessee.

#13 Sorry. Pointing out that there's a double standard and then ignoring the fact that this double standard will apply to Trump (and not just with dems and the media) is like inviting unsavory people to have dinner with you and then saying "I didn't know," that is to say, d u m b.

#14 My limited experience of significant leaders as a member of inner circles has taught me that they all have some levels hubris, and quirks, and a certain confident arrogance that accompanies great successes. Many are blind to the impact of their faults, and most did not have legions of highly-motivated, ruthless enemies with a huge megaphone to exaggerate perceived and actual faults. To an extent, great success overcomes petty foibles and mutes criticism.

In the public forum of political discourse and media manipulation is one most powerful, virtually unspoken fact. Demokrats use fear as an effective tool. In recent times, not just the denial of access, but now, money, and the power of lawfare, IRS audits, and the risk of judicial process bankruptcy, a la Flynn, Stone and Giuliani.

As Trump faces the headwinds of 2024, all these tools are coming into focus.

#17 The point is we need to stop running around like our hair's on fire when they demonrats pull this crap. It's like their race card, the only power it has is what you give it. Anytime they pull this crap we need to laugh in their face and reply "At least it wasn't Arafat". You cannot change their minds because they don't have one. Instead, mock them and make whatever they say worthless because it IS worthless.

Republicans will never win as long as they give a crap about what democrats claim to think or what they say.

#18 ^ So, just give up on independents who might otherwise vote for a Pub?

The problem is not what dems/media say about Trump, it's that he gives them so much material to work with.

#19 you have to be an egotist to run for any election. "i am better than ...". What egotist listens to 'advisors'. I dont have an answer. But Donald is better than any democrat i know.

#20 The Capitol, night. A drunk senator
Addresses a millionaire janitor:
"We won't drain the swamp
But at least under Trump
You could dream you might end up in Kanada."

#22 How can it be a dumb move when Kayne was supposed to be the only one to show for Dinner? Answer: It was a malicious setup and any who says differently has fallen for the setup as well.

#24 How Trump enabled Americans to peacefully send a necessary message, won the presidency a second time, and went down in history a hero...

"I'm running again... but it's fine!
Wave the flag -- not your gun -- and a sign
At those Democrat creeps,
[Vote for Vigorous Veep!]
Since once sworn I shall promptly resign."

And then, returning to ~~his gold-plated plow~~ form, he ran for governor and flipped Florida. And then I woke up, just in time for the end of Mr. Smith.
