How to spin Trump’s troubles
Now that the president is circling the wagons even tighter in regard to the special prosecutor and the Republicans in Congress have not a clue as to how to handle the continuing story, I see the spin doctors picking their brains. How can all of the above come out looking good, or better, than it might become?
Well, let’s see.
Donald Trump was not a Republican to begin with. He was embraced by the Republicans because he was looking good in the polls. So if the other shoe falls and things go badly, perhaps the Republicans can flip the results and blame the Democrats since “The Donald” was only a Republican as he knew Clinton was a shoe-in on the Democratic side.
Although Trump touted the fact that he was not a politician, what he promised was truly campaign rhetoric that all politicians use. Promise the world to get the votes. Disenchanted voters wanted to believe him, he spoke with such confidence.
He also spoke like a name-caller and a bully.
Let’s hope our country can get through this embarrassing distraction and get on with the work at hand.
