(Of course, we don't even know what awful things he may have secretly agreed to with Putin.)


President Trump, Deal Maker? Not So Fast!
By Peter Baker

President Trump likes nothing more than presenting himself as the ultimate deal maker, the master negotiator who can translate his success in business into the worlds of politics, policy and diplomacy. “That’s what I do, is deals,” he said one day last month.

Except that so far he has not...

His 17 months in office have in fact been an exercise in futility for the art-of-the-deal president. No deal on immigration. No deal on health care. No deal on gun control. No deal on spending cuts. No deal on Nafta. No deal on China trade. No deal on steel and aluminum imports. No deal on Middle East peace. No deal on the Qatar blockade. No deal on Syria. No deal on Russia. No deal on Iran. No deal on climate change. No deal on Pacific trade.

6 times bankrupt and borrowing tons of money from the Russians. His own son admitted it. The American banks wouldn’t loan to Trump the dirt bag because he never honored his debts. He is a typical con man. Hope his crooked kids are proud of their Traitorous father.

Nobel, Nobel. Nobel. Oh wait. That hasn't happened yet either. I'm sure Kim Jung Un is laughing at how he played Trump like a fiddle. Now it's Putin's turn.



Desperate today, huh honey? Hmmm perfect. That's just what you'd expect from someone with nothing to contribute but snark.

"Exposed"?

Only the willfully ignorant ever believed his sales-pitch in the first place.

I mostly tend to agree that so many people were willfully ignorant. On the other hand, though, there must have been a lot of people who just don't expect presidential candidates to lie on such an unprecedented scale.

The Democrats don't care if they help Putin if they can use it to hurt Trump.
Unlike Donald Trump’s lies, which he usually vomits up spontaneously like a vesuvian geyser, Clinton’s were carefully prepared, typed up, and repeated for all the world to hear over and over again.Trump’s deceits are symptoms of his glandular personality. Clinton does nothing spontaneously. And that means all of her lies are premeditated. All politicians lie at some point.

From the moment it dawned on Hillary Clinton, late on election night, that she had managed to blow a fixed fight, and that there would, therefore, be hell to pay, the Democrat-Deep State-Media Complex suddenly had to conceal their own malfeasance by doing what the Left does best—projecting its own sins onto others.

There was an earthquake in Washington DC this morning. It's obviously Trumps fault. No more snide remarks from me. Some posters lie too.

We knew he was a fairly lousy deal maker before he became President. Anyone familiar with his business history knows this.

There's a reason no legitimate bank will loan him, or his businesses, any large sums of money.

Despite the GOP being in charge Trump is still fighting an uphill battle against an unprecedented attack from the Left on every single thing he attempts.





Trump has had some success and if his only legacy is placing 2 Supreme Court justices I will be happy with that because he prevented Hillary from doing that plus probably 2 more.





I think Trump is dong a good job.
