Roger Simon: Ill-Informed, Impetuous, Reckless -- The Trump Years

Openmind693 · Jan 22, 2017

The title of the opinion piece says it all!

DONALD TRUMP'S goal is not to damage America or our allies. But that may well be the result of his ill-informed, impetuous, reckless actions over the next four years.

What can we do about this? Our fight is not to flee to Canada or South America.

Our fight for the next four years is right here in the streets of America, where we can do everything legally possible to prevent Trump and his thugs from kidnapping our nation.

Why does Trump even want the presidency? Trump's golden ferret and presidential counselor, Kellyanne Conway, broke down and let the reason slip in an interview with CNN's Anderson Cooper.
The point in contention was a 35-page report of unsubstantiated allegations that Trump's campaign had contact with Russian officials during the campaign.

Cooper's interview with Conway was marked by raised voices and people talking over each other. It lacked the insincere politeness we have come to expect from TV.

Conway: Excuse me, but, Anderson, if you want me to talk - I know CNN is feeling the heat today. But I was gracious enough to come on and discuss it.

Cooper: I think you guys are feeling the heat.

Later:

Conway: CNN and BuzzFeed have a lot in common. You both were absolutely convinced and told all of your viewers that Hillary Clinton is going to win this election. And that's what...

Cooper: You can't stick to what we're talking about now?

Cooper later said, "I know you like to pivot. I get it."

And Conway later said: "Anderson, you can use words like 'pivot,' 'distract,' 'red herring' all you want. The fact is that the media have a 16 percent approval rating for a reason. It's been earned. And it's crap like this that really undergirds why Donald Trump won. In fact, you're doing him a favor again. This was an anti-elitist election. It was a rejection of everybody who thinks they know better than people."

Then came the explosion.

Conway said: "What are the standards here? ... Because I took a little peek at what the headlines about President-elect Obama were eight years ago. Whew, talk about the world's biggest disconnect. It was basically ... Should President-elect Obama go to Oslo now and pick up his Nobel Peace Prize, or should he wait until after he's sworn in? We get nothing like that. We get no forbearance. We get nothing. We get no respect. We get no deference."

There it is - not the Rodney Dangerfield-like line about getting no respect but the following line, which shows how deeply wounded the Trump people are. It's a line that shows how they have a raw, open injury that throbs and aches from the moment they wake up till the moment they go to bed:

They get no deference. None. And it tears at them.

Deference, by the way, is defined by the Microsoft dictionary as "humble submission and respect."

That is what Trump wants, our humble submission and respect. Sort of like what a dog gives his master when he comes home at night.

Meh, just an op-ed by one of thousands of the injured MSM snowflakes out there. The tolerant and loving left showing how they behave when they don't get there way, or even a participation trophy.

Fuck CIA Anderson Pooper Scooper. The way the corporate controlled media constantly attacks Trump is so blatant and obvious. I am not buying it for a minute. It's designed to get people polarized and taking sides.

"Snowflakes". Thar's one of those all-purpose put down epithets the Alt Right/Gamergate crew invented to substitute for thought. You and your fellow snowflakes had your fifteen minutes and soon you'll begin to melt. AltRight losers can fulminate all they want but your new Fuehrer and his gazillionaires don't give a shit about you, unless it's convenient to trot you out from time to time to do a little bully work.

I think we're overlooking the really amazing part about all of this. The guy has only been in the top seat a few days and already they are able to extrapolate the next 4 years of events. They're either channeling Kreskin, or GeorgeJetStoned!
