As you all know, if you've been following me for any length of time, I have a great deal of faith in Trump and his ability to manage the situations that face him as President of the United States.
All the hysteria ginned up by people garnering clicks/views/ratings for the past year and a half endlessly selling the TRUMP IN MORTAL DANGER narrative is now reaching a point it is driving unstable people to say/do insane things.
Many people have lost the ability to reason in the face of the constant barrage of 'TRUMP IN MORTAL DANGER' narrative boosting by people who portend to be Trump supporters, in fact they put themselves forward as his strongest, most ardent supporters.
But they're not.
The hysteria narratives being pumped up have as their basis the foundational premise that Trump either can't see the danger or is powerless to deal with the danger, so we all have mount PR campaigns to FORCE him to engage in some action on his own behalf.
Any narrative that puts forth the premise Trump has fooled/outmaneuvered/outsmarted/tricked into placing himself in a compromised position where he's powerless to act is immediately suspect to me.
Surface skimmers take EVERYTHING at face value, they don't remember anything, they take only what is being proffered 'in the moment' and forget all else.
Take Trump's tweeting about Sessions and the DOJ/FBI.
Does he tweet he is MORTAL DANGER or is he annoyed?
Some people try to sell Trump's tweets/speeches at rallies as if he's in a PANIC, he's realized he's made a HUGE MISTAKE and he's left himself vulnerable to traitors who are causing the walls to move in on him, HELP HELP HELP SOMEBODY SAVE ME!, etc. etc.
Actually go back and look again. Trump is saying while OTHER PEOPLE who are the focus of the witch hunt are being damaged, and he for sure cares about that, he in no way ever even implies HE HIMSELF is any danger at all.
Trump's tweets/speeches on this stuff is that he finds it a HUGE ANNOYANCE AND A DISTRACTION from doing the important stuff he wants to work on.
He HIMSELF is in no real danger at all. He's annoyed, dismayed.
At this point, all the evidence shows Mueller has nothing. That investigation is a joke. It's all going to end with Mueller having not even mussed up even a single hair on Trump's head and Trump already knows this.
What about the FISC Court/Trump Spying shenanigans that Trump often tweets about/refers to?
He talks up the plot inside the Obama fed. gov't to prevent him from winning the election & throwing it to Hillary by spying on his campaign to point out it FAILED.
All the plotters were exposed, we all know who they all, it's all out in the public record now, how they tried to keep him from winning the election.
Not only did he win it, here we are a year & half later & the details of the plot are still being rolled out weekly.
Trump knew well in advance of assuming office that he was being spied on. He has to play the game like he's just now discovering this stuff the past few months along with the rest of us as the evidence gets slowly rolled out of the DOJ & made public.
Yes, Trump has to PRETEND he didn't know he was being spied on & there was a plot underway to sabotage his campaign by Obama/Hillary partisans inside the federal gov't.
This the first thing the surface skaters get wrong: that Trump didn't know & is JUST NOW BEING MADE AWARE.
Trump knows all about the use of spies in the corporate world. He is a long time player in business deals in the NYC real estate market where information can be the difference between making hundreds of millions on a deal or losing hundreds of millions on the same deal.
Narratives that sell a version of Trump where he's some naive babe in the woods being sworn in and only then discovering all this stuff once he's President are only swallowed by the gullible.
Trump knew when he was running *exactly* how they were going to come after him. He was ready.
Most of what you are seeing is NOT REAL. The surface is an ILLUSION, to hide what's really going on and to fool his enemies.
So I'm going to make a prediction right now. It's June 6, 2018. On June 6, 2019, I'm going to pick this thread up again and we'll all compare notes.
Who was right? Those pimping the TRUMP IN MORTAL DANGER! narrative, or those saying TRUMP IN TOTAL CONTROL?

I believe our VSG Potus is really that smart... and a smart person knows when to keep that close to the vest. BTW a smart person is often really funny, because they can see things from all sides, including the humorous side...
Lucky us.
