So the Media wasn’t all in against
Trump and Russian collusion wasn’t leapt on by the Media and was
corrected after no conclusive evidence was found. It was all a level
playing field. Got it.
Like most topics Trump is
black and white. The trouble with the anti Trumpers is they see only
one side. It’s black for them in every case.And its white for the Trump supporters in every case. As in the example of Russian collusion. All you hear from Trump supporters is that he was totally exonerated, they completely gloss over the Trump campaign members or associates that where charged and in some cases convicted due to the Muller investigation. They ignore the fact that many Trump campaign members were found to have links to Russian official and spies. They don't care about Trump associates
or campaign team members declining to give or providing false or incomplete testimony. They don't care that relevant communications were not saved, deleted or encrypted. They don't care that Russia was trying to interfere in the election in a major way. They don't care that the Trump team knew about the interference and expected to benefit from it. They don't ever ask themselves why Russia was trying to get Trump elected, they don't ever ask themselves why their preferred candidate is also the preferred choice to be US President of a authoritarian mass murderer like Putin. They also ignore the fact that Muller report specifically did not exonerate Trump oo potential obstruction of justice, where he noted 11 potential examples of it.
When people on this forum in the past have said Trump was totally exonerated over the Russian collusion report, I've asked multiple times about those other findings in the Muller reports but I've only ever got silence back.
The voters by contrast see both sides and have decided on balance Trump
is best for them. And there is no denying the achievement in turning
around his political fate. It’s made him Time’s man of the yearThe voters did make their choice and there is absolutely no denying its a remarkable come back. I thought Trump was politically done for after January 6th. I can't imagine any other politician in any other democratic country comeback from that. I also think its a pretty damning indictment of American political system.
But he has made many promises. Some of which strike me as
extraordinarily hard to keep. If he doesn’t the jackals will gather
again. Again with the right wing persecution complex. How is that any different from any other politician from any side of the political spectrum. If you make promises on the campaign trail and you don't deliver on them you get criticized for it. That's how politics work.
But if he can stop the war in Ukraine, regulate immigration and
achieve a 3% growth rate he is going to be up there with the most
consequential Presidents, several of whom also had their detractors.
Lots of ifs there and a lot depends on the how those things are achieved.
It’s time to move on, the reception Trump got at the Stock Exchange and
the support of the CNBC reporters underlined the difference this time
around..Time to move on...so that's why you brought up the Mar-a-Lago raid? As for the stock market reaction, that was in good part due the election result being clear, there was no ambiguity in the result, no potential for the result to be disputed by months of legal challenges. If business hate one thing its uncertainty.
Last time the establishment wanted him to fail….this time the
country is almost giddy with the vision of potential success
Last time the establishment wanted him to fail...wait I thought we were moving on? Giddy with excitement. I'm sure every side that wins an election is giddy with the vision of potential success. The side that losses less so.
The vitriol on this string is so 2016.. Sorry where is the vitriol on this string? You put forward the position that the Mar-a-Lago raid disturbed many American's which meant Wray's position as FBI director was untenable. I simply pointed out that a majority of American's supported the raid at the time, nearly twice as many supported it as disapproved and only 18.7% of American's strongly disapproved of the raid, but also noted the issue is largely viewed along partisan political lines. I don't believe there is anything to support your claim that the Mar-a-Lago raid happening under Wray's watch meant he had to go or with DA's claim that it had an effect on the election. That's of course my personal view, but hey this is a discussion forum.
Now if you wanted to say the Mar-a-Lago raid meant Wray had to go because it in affect soured any chance of working relationship between Wray and Trump, that would make a lot more sense. But its got nothing to do with the raid being unnecessary or heavy handed. Trump was always going to be apoplectic about however the raid was conducted, but it was his own actions that lead to the raid being carried out in the first place.
