Showing Original Post only (View all)Maybe there's a different way to break Trump. [View all]
Maybe Carville is on to something when he says we need to stop saying how powerful Trump is.
King! Most powerful! He's being lauded for his strength on all sides.
Maybe the key to breaking him is to focus on his weaknesses and to ALLOW him to wallow in his grievances.
Give him pity. Lay it on really thick.
Oh...he's being used by Stephen Miller and Jared and Pence and so many others to get what THEY want...
...while he lives this miserable life of investigations and attacks and constant grief.
Everyone is using him! And laughing behind his back!
He left his great life in NYC to be used and abused every day in Washington. He could trust his friends then, and he was free to do as he wished.
His health has suffered, his mood is black, and he's getting deeper and deeper into a grand mess because others are USING HIM. Even his family, who get what they want while he pays the price, the enormous price.
Talk about his weaknesses. List all of the investigations that have happened because people have betrayed him/used him. Jeff Sessions, etc. etc. etc.
Talk about ANYTHING except strength.
Drive a wedge between him and those who he thinks are on his team. We know how fast a narcissist will jettison someone he no longer trusts.
Get my drift?

That's what I say. MSM needs to stop covering everything he says and does.

Trump has a LOT of attack surface. Maybe don't think of him politically.
