Official LRC President Donald J Trump Thread

continued collapse in Trump's approval ratings to new lows.

RCP: 37.7%

538: 36.8%

both of those are unprecedented in modern times.

The downside of this is that Trump knows he'll not get up to the normal 50%-60% range, so he'll just work very hard to keep the base from crumbling. More dog whistle white supremacy, more counter productive populism, more lies, more talk about Hillary Clinton.

And oh yeah, a war always shored up your ratings. But there are no signs of Trujmp revving up the war machine, right? Right?

FBI is not kidding around. They conducted an unannounced pre-dawn raid of manafort's home last month.

boom

Nice people Trump hires to work for him. The sorts who take tens of millions from dictators and have FBI pre-dawn raids on their homes.

Those are your people, trumpers. #MAGA

FBI is libruls and fake news. Enough of the biased FBI and their feminazi agenda. It should be shut down. President Trump is a good man and very smart and successful and I am very smart and successful for voting for him! Libturds!

The scary part is that you no longer can dismiss the crazy stuff Trump says as Trump just talking and not meaning it. Trump not only says but DOES some crazy stuff.

No other major world leaders including Western powers and Russia and China talk with such bombast regarding nuclear war, but Trump and some of the middle eastern crazies do.

Not good. Poor judgement is playing a major role.

Trumpets are loving this! Remember Trumpets consider it a victory if Trump does something that angers libs, even if that something harms them. So, if Trump starts a nuclear war that kills many, many Trumpets it's all good in their mind as long as Dems don't like it. Brilliant!

This is true.

"Even if Democrats were to win every single 2018 House and Senate race for seats representing places that Hillary Clinton won or that Trump won by less than 3 percentage points — a pretty good midterm by historical standards — they could still fall short of the House majority and lose five Senate seats."

This is true. The Dems are at a huge structural disadvantage in 2018. Gaining control of either house would be a major upset.

But I contend that 538 is using the wrong benchmark for house seats. I think it's even worse than 538 says. They should not look at how close the presidential race was. To gauge house races, they should instead look at how close it was in the actual house race.

In 2016, Republican house winners usually out-performed Trump. Therefore, the gerrymandered districts that favor Republicans give even more advantage to the incumbent despite how popular/unpopular Trump might be.

All that said, I wouldn't be surprised to see both parties lose a few seats to centrist independents.

It's kind of weird how Kim Jong Un and Donald Trump seem to be two sides of the same coin.

Both are very quick and bellicose regarding threats of war, both love military pageantry to honor them, both love over the top praise and adulation, both have weird hair,

And both are crazy

Donald,

Basic authoritarian leader rule 101, serious threat of war will distract (from Russian probe) and will get the people to support you for patriotic reasons. Normally this will work, but with you it's not a good move. People already see you as a loose cannon and this will confirm this and more people will move away from you. If you lose Congress you are screwed.

This Mueller searching Manaforts home is bad news. If Mueller was in Russia he would get food poisoning or would fall from a balcony. He would be gone. You can't do that but you have to get rid of Mueller.

Get your people to intensely research Mueller find or create some sort of dirt on him and then get rid of him. Have your people sing the talking points about how he is slime and needs to go. It's your only chance. Most will hate this but they will get over it. Pick a few fall guys to take the rap if you have to.

Now get to work.

I think that is what Trump is doing - Trump mouthpiece National Enquirer is slamming Manafort already.

That dude is going down.

Unless...Manafort has something on Trump or Jared...then Manafort might flip.

Trump will pick anyone to take the rap as long as it's not Trump. The pressure is mounting on Trump.

If we're lucky, things stay about like they are, with a few seats switched. It won't end well for the Democrats.

Donald,You have made some mistakes, but you have effectively understood and used your skill set. Your disenfranchised dim witted base needs something to focus their anger and frustration. You can not being up Hillary too much for them. They need to think you are supporting them in their war with Hillary and the threat that she and her kind is to their "values". You are good at this. Your simplistic chants and attacks resonate with them.You are messing up with Kim Jong-Un. He is not rational so threats will do no good. Also your comments are making him a hero to his people. And I don't like your people's approach to this, saying no should take your threats seriously. It's the don't worry because everyone knows Donald is full of crap defense. You can't have your own people implying this. Your people need to change the national discourse to a different subject. I know you wanted to get the media off the Russian probe, and the threat of nuclear war effectively does that, but it makes you look weak and unstable. You need something else. Stick to Hillary attacks.Your mentor and greatest world leader,Vladimir

I am concerned because this is a dangerous game played by reckless leaders. It reminds finds me of the lead up to the Iraq war. At the time people initially thought the saber rattling was just a negotiation ploy.

But macho frail egos got involved and actions were taken that were not in the best interest of anyone.

Kim Jung In killed his own 1/2 brother. If he thought he was going down he would not hesitate to unleash mass destruction. Trump has no good judgement.

This is dangerous.

Hey flippin' that's an odd non sequitur bro. You know Hilliary lost and is no longer in government; correct? It's pretty common for a sitting president to criticize and blame the preceding president for current issues / problems especially if they are of different parties. That is expected behavior--Bush II did this and Obama did this a lot. But, blaming someone you beat in an election who was not the prior president is highly unusual--you do realize this, correct? It's almost as if Trump is trying to distract his base by throwing them some red meat since he knows how much they hate Hilliary. Don't you think he might be doing this for a reason? Why do you fall for such obvious attempts to distract you from something major that might be occurring in the government/ world? Are you that simple minded?
