Why Trump Needs an Enemy

https://politicalwire.com/2017/02/17/trump-needs-enemy/

"SNIP.......

Ryan Lizza: “Last week, a senior White House official shared a candid theory with me about why President Donald Trump and his team have been adrift since November: they’ve yet to adjust to the post-election reality, and they haven’t yet learned how to operate without a single, common enemy—Hillary Clinton—to focus on. It was a frank admission that a team built for winning a campaign has so far failed at governing.”

“Incoming Presidents usually trade in some of their political tacticians for experienced Washington hands when they take office, but Trump installed his entire senior campaign leadership into top positions in the White House, a place where few of them have ever worked before.”

Trump is dyslexic. Dyslexics excel at taking down psychopaths because they only deal in the concrete. Think Churchill - Hitler, or Kennedy-Russia, Reagan - Russia. That was why when he had enemies during campaigns he did well. Campaigns are inherently painted tableaus and long term politicians like hillary are vulnerable. Republican candidates and their agenda is totally psychopathic and lies. Now he is trying to attack the press and/or democrats. Both of them are stand up groups of people. He can't pull down their fictions because their narratives are real. IMHO

Waving signs he can't read and screaming things he can't hear will get translated into approval.

If you're determined to protest, turn your back when the limo appears.

Seriously, kids, it's the only way.
