Krauthammer: Trump honeymoon officially over

[demmiblue]

"Normally, newly elected presidents enjoy a wave of goodwill that allows them to fly high at least through their first 100 days. Donald Trump has not been sworn in, and the honeymoon has already come and gone.”

<snip>

“(Trump’s) need to dominate every news cycle feeds an almost compulsive tweet habit,” he said. "It has placed him just about continuously at the center of the national conversation, and not always to his benefit.”

Krauthammer added Trump had not improved some of the flaws from his at times wild 2016 presidential bid.

“Nothing negative goes unanswered because, for Trump, an unanswered slight has the air of concession or surrender,” he said.

“Finally, it’s his chronic indiscipline, his jumping randomly from one subject to another without rhyme, reason or larger strategy.”

2. Yeah, no shit, Chuckles - you just now figured this out?

Fucking turd weasel, never short on crap to fling at Obama or Clinton, but now he's all suddenly . . . concerned.

Whatever.

[Nay]

7. Yeah, WTF. All these Pubs having vapors after they did their best to get this

dangerous idiot into office. They can go fuck themselves.

21. Krauthammer's been anti-Trump for a while now

His politics may be terrible, but he's been right on Trump.

This is from August:

This is beyond narcissism. I used to think Trump was an 11-year-old, an undeveloped schoolyard bully. I was off by about 10 years. His needs are more primitive, an infantile hunger for approval and praise, a craving that can never be satisfied. He lives in a cocoon of solipsism where the world outside himself has value — indeed exists — only insofar as it sustains and inflates him.

And, here is Trump calling Krauthammer a loser back in 2015 in response to some negative comments:

24. And Krauthammer has an MD in psychiatry

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

36. He really nails it right there. Too bad he used words at a reading level far above

that of huge swaths of Drumpf Führer's supporters. If an idea can't be tweeted in angry idiot-speak they can't comprehend it.

[eleny]

37. Yeah, I was just appreciating his use of the word "indiscipline"

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

38. Me too!

How elitist of us.

[Cha]

3. I know, right.. now he owes Krauthammer a tweet or two

[pangaia]

4. Thanks Krauth. How would we EVER know without you?

Maybe you should have thought of this 30-40 years ago or whenever it was you started writing your right wing stupid fucking columns.

5. Pretty remarkable. We got Trump fatigue even before the inauguration.

[world wide wally]

9. Trump fatigue hit me back in April

[Stellar]

6. Poll's show Americans approve of Pres. Obama and disapprove of Trump.

8. Krauthammer doesn't like Trump, but the bitter old fuckwad ...

still managed to finish his column with a gratuitous swipe at President Obama.

10. What honeymoon?

this was a drunken Vegas wedding followed by waking up in a cheap motel next to coyote ugly with morning breath...

[stevenleser]

11. Oh that's perfect. I want to use that! nt

[sarisataka]

12. I waive all copyright claims

[2naSalit]

20. Thank You!

[NCTraveler]

27. That is great. Thank you.

28. Perfect

14. Krauthammer hasn't trusted/liked Trump for awhile now.

I don't care for Krauthammer's conservative positions, but at least he recognized Trump is dangerous.

He expressed distrust of Trump with the nuclear codes during this discussion with O'Reilly months ago (at about the 8-minute mark):

[NCTraveler]

26. Krauthammer is a conservative. An unelected ideological conservative.

We know where he will stand on almost every single position. Overall, he is pretty consistent.

[ffr]

15. newly ELECTED presidents. It's under the shadow of a coup. Keyword elected.

NOT!

[Metro135]

19. Good - can we start divorce proceedings immediately?

[NNadir]

22. Unlike the majority of Americans, and the majority of the world, Krauthammer deserves Trump.

In fact, he is Trump.

[MatthewStLouis]

23. Any bets on who the next tweet is about?

What a hot mess of corruption! Some days all I can do is laugh.

[NCTraveler]

25. The best part is that is it because of Trumps own actions.

And he can't stop.

[Grins]

29. You're a psycharist, Dr. Krauthammer....

Isn't there a medical definition for those issues.....?

[J_William_Ryan]

30. Another conservative chimes in with

too little, too late.

[Nitram]

31. I despise Krauthammer.

His mocking of Obama's farewell address in this column is beyond disgusting. Krauthammer is a partisan hack, in the same vein as George Will. Much like Will, every criticism of the GOP must be followed by an even harsher and irrelevant, attack on the Democratic Party.

32. Remove the plastic sheets from the honeymoon suite

n/t

[BigDemVoter]

33. I'm fucking SHOCKED he still has 44% who approve..

And Krauthammer-- FUCK YOU. . . .
"Refusing to accept 'legitimacy' of Trump"???? That has GOT to be one of the stupidest fucking things I have EVER heard!

[Fozzledick]

34. Rapists don't get a honeymoon.
