(115,692 posts)Former GOP strategist, hates Trump, not a looney tune at all. He's a good writer, often funny as hell. From today's essay in The Daily Beast:
We had topsy-turvy Head-of-State calls where Trump insulted and demeaned our allies, executive orders that essentially pissed off 1-billion-plus Muslims, not-so-subtly threatened to invade Mexico (boosted by his threatened domestic invasion of Chiraq). Steve Bannon displaced Generals on the National Security Council, a disastrous special-ops hit on Yemen that would have been attacked as Benghazi 2 if hatched by Hillary. And a Supreme Court nominee received the Rose from Bachelor Trump.
On the upside, White Nationalist Richard Spencer became a permanent meme for getting cold-cocked on a DC street corner while talking about Pepe. In the age of Trump, we thank God for small moments of hope and humor.

(46,166 posts)No way would he have changed his mind after these past two weeks. Wilson owes his Party a great big fat "I told ya so". But Rs are spending time down in Fla with Trump and fat cat donors today (so I heard). It'll be a while yet before they have Wilson's guts, if ever.

(9,313 posts)I think he means "Here's what Trump is saying..."
I could be wrong. Context below. Wilson is a Republican idiot, but no fan of Trump.
(On edit: Crossing with previous -- slow putting it together. Posts above make same point.

#FLASH One hour ago: Trump tells us to 'blame the court system' in the event of a terror attack. Yes, this is a sitting US President talking
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
Just cannot believe a judge would put our country in such peril. If something happens blame him and the court system. People pouring in. Bad!

People are just discovering that Trump is willing to deploy his Twitter feed against anyone, regardless of title? Did 2015/2016 happen?

The Second American Republic is going to have a lot of cleaning up to do.
