Reading the many conservative articles about all the ‘missteps’ of the President leads us to believe even more strongly there’s a huge disconnect between elites and grassroots.
The latest Congressional hearing with fired FBI head Comey brings this into sharp relief, as the consensus among the GOP talking heads is that Comey bloodied Pres Trump.
So what’s going on? Why do his supporters still strongly back Pres Trump? Let’s see…
Despite the fact Comey had told the Congress in January closed sessions Trump wasn’t under investigation, despite stating the NY Times article (that got the whole Trump-Russia collusion fake news stories going) was ‘almost entirely wrong’, despite the fact Comey told Trump 3 times he wasn’t under investigation, and admitting he refused to say this publicly to stop the rumors, pundits refer to Trump’s being miffed as ‘inappropriate’.
The President said he wanted Comey to be loyal to honesty, but Comey’s refusal to state the honest truth about Trump shows he couldn’t be…and Trump was wrong to fire him?
Numerous intel sources confirmed fired Natl Security adviser Flynn did nothing illegal but when the President points this out and hopes Comey can drop the probe, pundits think it’s the President who acted improperly? Defending an exonerated aide is wrong?
Comey outed himself as a leaker yesterday, flat admitted he couldn’t be loyal to honesty, and refused to drop a probe of a known-innocent man…and Trump’s conduct is wrong?
Comey worked for the Executive Branch – if anyone’s missed it, that’s Pres. Trump.
The problem with today’s pundit reasoning is they view the situation through the lense of political optics…rather than honest human interaction based on values and principles.
The supporters who back Trump value honesty, loyalty, and integrity. That’s why they stay loyal and supportive of a man seen as under constant attack by everyone in DC…
…including (unfortunately) many in the conservative pundit class…which is incredible, when you realize even a devout Liberal like Alan Dershowitz defends Mr. Trump.
Comey has displayed he possesses none of the principles Trump supporters value.
So when you see a lead sentence in a conservative article that reads “No one should lose sight of the fact that the president got himself into this mess”…
…and you know the ‘mess’ consists of a bucket of Democrat/sham-stream media lies dumped over President Trump’s head on a daily basis…
…(with NO due respect to myopic conservative pundits)…
…is it any wonder we’ve lost faith in those who can’t recognize who made the mess?
Defending yourself shouldn’t be impeachable, but, hey, what do we know…
…we’re just working class, and see nothing wrong with mud-wrestling the pigs.
