People like me can plainly see the strategy he is using.
First thing is to MANIPULATE the media into talking about immigration again. Get the news cycle back to that. It's been dominated in the last week by the bombs and the mass shooting.
But now we are days away from the midterms. And it will be the party that is most energized on Nov. 6th that will win the elections.
Trump is like a puppeteer pulling the strings and forcing CNN, MSNBC, NY Times, Washington Post, and the rest of them to dance to his tune.
They have just spent the last 48 hours pushing HIS message to his base.
You and Stefan, in this matter, are too obsessed with hatred for Trump to see the genius in what he does.
First he will get his base re-energized for the election.
Second...IF he actually did try an Executive Order that was unconstitutional (which it would be)...it will be immediately taken to court.
And that will lead to the Supreme Court making a decision saying that his order is unconstitutional...and that giving "birthright citizenship" to illegal aliens is ALSO unconstitutional.
It's a "win/win" for Trump.
And anti-Trump, anti-USA people can only fume and be bitter about it.
The guy is playing the media AND the "left" like a fiddle and you guys are so caught up in hating him that YOU are the ones actually being manipulated. And you couldn't even see it.
Hopefully you will think about what I just wrote and reflect upon it. Then you can stop having Pres. Trump manipulate what you are thinking every day via what he forces the media to "report" (have panels discussing how horrible he is 24 hours a day).
Just give it some thought without emotion and you'll see what I'm talking about.
You don't have to agree with Trump or support him. But at least your eyes will open and you'll realize that he is playing chess and the media are playing checkers.

Wow.
So you admire a man that is manipulating his base, the media, and just about everyone else by using a mix of hostile and divisive rhetoric. Never mind how vile the message - it gets fucking results right ?
You are openly admiring a man that is using every trick in the Barnham hoax songbook in order to get himself into power. Trump will do and say anything to rile the deplorables.
And you wonder why a comparison with other orators who stooped equally low is so often made ?
And you wonder why some of his people then act out in the way they do ?
Robbie - you have stated that you are a Trump voter because you believe in his economic policies right ?, you believe the MAGA message right ?
So given that Trump is pushing the race / immigration / muslim thing harder and harder as he seeks to maintain power - is there a line for you ? Trump is ratcheting up his base with more bullshit, outright lies, and outrageous hypocrisy. ( the descendant of immigrants, married to an immigrant, gives US citizenship to his in laws ! )
Is there a line where you say OK I want the MAGA, but I cannot support this anymore ?
