Who are really off their rockers? Trump’s accusers

-

“Everybody’s got to believe in something. I believe I’ll have another beer.” Trump’ crowd, as the case may be.”

People tend to pay attention only to those views and accusation­s that reinforce their own beliefs. Most conservati­ves read conservati­ve newspapers, listen to talk radio and watch Fox News. Most liberals read liberal newspapers and watch MSNBC where programs like “Morning Joe” are mouthpiece­s for their liberal agenda.

The champion of conservati­ve talk radio is Rush Limbaugh. On his program last Friday, Limbaugh got to the heart of the anti-Trump movement, which he said is establishm­ent and therefore bipartisan.

“This is the reaction of people not in charge,” he said. “These are people that have lost touch. They’ve lost their grip. Because Trump is threatenin­g the little fiefdom they’ve created. They’ve set it up so that they’re the experts and nobody else can possibly understand what they’re doing. .And in less than a year, Trump has come in and run rings around them, and that poses such a big threat, he’s got to go.”

Limbaugh noted that some of the same things being said about Trump were said about George W. Bush, i.e. that he’s stupid, a cowboy and doesn’t read books (Bush did, lots of them).

With so many things going well for the administra­tion, especially on the economy, jobs, unemployme­nt and the defeat of ISIS in Syria, it’s the left that may be in need of a straightja­cket. Perhaps they should just chill out and have another beer.
