I like airplanes, so I enjoy it too. No other president has done this kind of thing better than Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p>* Can you think of another film that shows the leader descending from the heavens like a god, flying over the local landmarks in a plane? Leni could sue for copyright infringement if she were still alive.<\/p>\n<p>* Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it. Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions.<\/p>\n<p>* I appreciate the use of Sweet Child O\u2019 Mine. It is pitch-perfect because in his heart-of-hearts, Trump is a creature of the 80s.<\/p>\n<p>* I\u2019ve been been on the Trump train\u2013talking him up with friends, neighbors\u2013since i read his (Jeff Session\u2019s) immigration policy pitch back in 2015. I\u2019m still on board.<\/p>\n<p>But the bottom line\u2013cut away all the b.s.\u2013is that the delivery problem isn\u2019t just that Trump\u2019s pushing against the Democrats, the state, the new post-1964 constitution. It\u2019s also that Trump has lacked focus on the nationalist agenda that won him the nomination and squeezed out a narrow victory. Poor advisors\u2013nepotism. Ego. Lack of discipline. Too easily rolled. Too confused.<\/p>\n<p>We all knew Trump would be pushing against a corrupt, vile, anti-American, anti-republican, globalist establishment, and that progress would be a grind. But Trump\u2019s lack of focus and discipline in the fight has hindered progress\u2013and the case he can make for re-election. Denying this rather obvious fact is silly.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m with Trump because he\u2019s the nationalist we\u2019ve got\u2013warts and all. But we deserve to see him fight hard and smarter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Was Trump&#39;s Speech At Mount Rushmore Dark And Divisive?
