Talking Points Memo

This is really funny. Just a week ago, both Hannity and Newt were saying, “we told Trump to stop tweeting, and we were wrong, it’s great!”

Here’s what he’s saying now:

Newt Gingrich tells Trump to stop with the... bởi Megyn-kelly

It’s very hard to see anything other than that Trump is causing his own problems now. He gets into stupid ridiculous fights on Twitter, and gives the media more stuff to harp on. How bad can the polls get before they have to stop whining that they’re “fake polls”?
Chris Stirewalt has a great opinion piece on this – here’s an excerpt:

In the end, if Trump is proven right, and there was no information sharing or collusion between his campaign and Kremlin-allied entities, the president’s intemperate comments will not add up to much.
All this will have been is a sorry incident in which a frustrated commander in chief lashed out against his critics, making his reputation and his staff collateral damage in the process. Also harmed will have been Trump’s agenda and the already weak bonds of trust between him and his fellow Republicans in Congress.
And that’s the best case scenario.
The darker side of the street looks like this: Democrats retake the House in 2018, investigators find that one of Trump’s underlings had been in cahoots with Putinists and Trump’s remark to Lester Holt “when I decided to [fire Comey], I said to myself, you know, this Russia thing with Trump and Russia is a made up story,” would surely make it into the articles of impeachment.
This is deadly serious stuff. And many of the president’s supporters seem either unaware or unwilling to confront the situation as it exists. Just because one thinks that Democrats are hysterical in their responses to Trump does not mean that Trump is doing the right things.
His team had been, under the adverse conditions Trump created for them, working hard to offer the best rationale for firing Comey: That the former director’s mishandling of Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton’s case left him unable to suitably lead the agency.

I know Trump supporters don’t want to hear it, especially from me, but they’re actually harming Trump be enabling his bad acts. But then he seems to surround himself with people who do that, huh?
