Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, on Sunday said President Donald Trump is neither conservative nor liberal, but simply pro-Trump.

This is a president, look, who has no ideology. Hes not conservative, hes not liberal; the only consistent theme seems to be, hes pro-Trump, he said. Hes for his own personal interests.

Asked about National Security Adviser H.R. McMasters suggestion that President Donald Trump could respond to North Koreas nuclear weapons program with military force, Schiff said the United States needs to underscore that we are willing to sit down at the table to negotiate.
This is going to be hard to accomplish and we all need to be pulling in the same direction, Schiff said. Right now, too often, Gen. McMaster is talking about a president not that we have, but one that he wishes we had.

Also in the article Schiff made a comment critical of Trump never acknowledging that Obama Adm did do some things right.

(6,911 posts)Trump has never even applied for a job or attended a job interview. He has no clue what it means to be part of a larger effort than his own selfish desires. His supporters said he doesn't follow the crowd. I say he's unable to follow the crowd, he's incapable of cooperation.

(713 posts)I always like hearing from Schiff. He is smart and principled. This is in stark contrast to Trump, who is neither smart nor principled.

(6,017 posts)Everything he has signed thus far was exactly what the conservative GOP Congress wanted.
Even those things that he appeared to come up with on his own (or at least took credit for).
