TRUMP: Performance, not polish

| January 28, 2018 12:00 AM

Trump. He’s crude, egotistical and lacks the presidential polish the establishment is used to and expects of a POTUS.

However, we had a polished charismatic president who performed sex acts with an intern, while in office no less. That being Bill Clinton, who was impeached. The “Dems loved him” and defended him, saying, judge him by his achievements, not his personal life.

Barack Obama was polished, charismatic and the mainstream media’s darling who could do no wrong. Others felt he was an egotistical, self-centered elitist who put America $10 trillion more in debt and sold out America and Israel with the Iran deal; the “Dems loved him.”

I cringe in disappointment, hearing some of the things Trump says. But he’s not having sex with his interns, or selling out America and Israel. He puts America first, stands up for law enforcement, the military and defends the unborn. We didn’t get any of that from the Dems’ “chosen one.” Too many today only consider what is in it for them. Trump’s putting America first; sounds like another president who said, “Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.” John F. Kennedy — a Democrat. He would be more like a Republican today, and the Dems “wouldn’t” love him.

CNN, who’s not a friend of Trump, did a report showing it’s clear many are looking for results, not polish or political correctness the elitist establishment wants. Check out the link.
