President Trump on Capitol Hill on Tuesday. By David Byler David Byler Data analyst and political columnist focusing on elections, polling, demographics and statistics Email Bio Follow Data analyst and political columnist March 26 at 5:44 PM Right now, President Trump has the right to spike the football — at least a little bit. Over the weekend, Attorney General William P. Barr released a summary of special counsel Robert S.
Trump’s basic political strategy seems to be to draw a hard line on immigration, be vague on other parts of policy while farming the specifics out to other lawmakers or members of his administration, dominate the news cycle with controversy, and focus hard on his opponents’ weaknesses. But those same strategies don’t work as well for a president. Beating up on John Kasich or Clinton just doesn’t land the same way when you’re not actually running against those people. And when Trump generates a controversy out of thin air, it doesn’t deprive an opponent of media coverage — it just makes him look bad.
Instead, he spent his first two years trying to repeal and replace the reasonably popular Affordable Care Act, passing tax reform, getting Brett M. Kavanaugh onto the Supreme Court and trying to get money for a border wall via a government shutdown. Justice Neil M. Gorsuch’s confirmation was a reasonably well-regarded victory, but most of the president’s major pushes were unpopular.
Opinion: confused as fact.
Shooting yourself in the foot while it’s in your mouth is not only a mixed metaphor, but can be extremely dangerous.
Aim higher
Wish he'd shoot himself in the face instead
So is that where the bone spurs come from? Asking for a Party.
You mean media?😂😂😂
Trumps not the one who has been shooting him self in the foot it's democrats and MSM. Still getting it all backwards 🙄
Hum you make it hard NOT to pass Gun legislation! Perhaps he will move up the leg and hit other parts of his body! One can only hope!
DFT shoots himself in the foot to treat his alleged 'bone spurs.'
Who’s STILL winning.
Really? It seems to be working for him.
I wish he’d aim higher
Democrats are shooting them self in their heads
Why what are you twisting around now as always, VERY FAKE NEWS
Washington post has 0 credibility
' President Trump can't stop trolling the liberal press, and they fall for it every time.'
He should aim a little higher.
He's heals fast.
He doesn’t give a shit becaohes planning to rig the next election any way, with Russian and/or foreign help.
that be easy all he need say is someone please help the dem use the bathroom
Our president is amazing! Msm is just mad that Trump is showing the world how fake the news is.
Opinion: Amazingly The Washington Post just can’t stop shooting itself in the foot throught their absolute bias reporting.
But he has an awesome tie collection.
Your paper sucks
FakeNews
You guys are pathetic! 😂😂😂 Come on WP! Is that the best you can do?
He's wants us to think it's a bone spur....HOPE his aim gets better.
Hahaha
aim higher
Thats because this rag keeps blowing over on his foot.
Please turn the gun around.
If a journalist is careless when reporting criminal allegations against a person, for example, he could face a defamation lawsuit if the accusations are proved untrue. Well wapo you've been lying to us for over 2 yrs....
I don’t know what world you live in, but from here his feet look fully intact.
Beginning to think Trump, and his criminal enterprise are teflon coated. Know that Trump is thoroughly convinced that he, his family, his criminal organization are above the law. Now in a fit Trump wants to deny medical care from 28 million Americans. Condemning them to death.
realDonaldTrump is just a terrible human being who does terrible things.
alwaysnegitivetowarfsPOTUS
Trump is his own worst enemy.
It’s not the bullet in the foot we have to worry about, it’s the spurs in his head
Can he point at something other than his foot?
That's cause he needs a fight to keep everyone tuning in the next day. This isn't about running the country, it's about 'look at me, look at me'. This guy doesn't give two s---s for America, Americans or democracy. He's rich and mentally sick.
He was out of feet a long time ago
Left has always been symbolic of evil, discord, and error and they are from the evil one.
I have an idea how about letting the illegals in and expelling and deporting the sicko twisted warped leftist libs. They are the biggest traitors and danger to this country because they are a disease from within and should be shipped and dumped in the middle of the ocean
The sick twisted debased demoralized demented leftist libs with their false sense of high ideals and equality yet have lost their souls and identity and are the biggest threat to the social, moral, and spiritual fabric of our nation and society
The wounds are inflicting from the sick twisted leftist liberal media and the crap that is being taught in our schools and teaching our young to go against and disrespect the president when he is trying to do what is right for the country.
Elect Hilary next time clownTrump worstthanhitler impeachment
Unfortunately his base doesn’t care and it’s terrifying. Facts don’t matter, humility is seen as weakness and Americans are at each other’s throats. It’s a very surreal and frightening time😳
Yes, justice will prevail, one way or the other
He opens his mouth just long enough to change feet.
LaiyouINg1 At this point of the game tRumpt is a StarFish like creature ...i believe he could not only blow his foot off with a scatter gun but his Duck too and grow another back tge next day as if nothing had happened... This mother fucker is not human .
Get him a bigger gun... Looks like HE is gonna bring himself down, like he did the MAJORITY of his business ventures You could always SEE his chaos whenever we had him as a random client the last 20 yrs
That’s kind of a ‘Fact’, no? Not just an ‘Opinion.’
The Washington Post writes like they live in a world where people actually respect their opinion and insight. In their tiny little bubble of existence where Chris Mathews, Don Lemon and Brian Stelter live they feed their halucinations about Trump with their own words. Psychos..
Maybe he should reach for a higher goal.
He doesn't have the brain power to shut up.
No collusion, imbeciles.
I wish he'd shoot himself somewhere else and put us out of our misery. This PUB can't take that fool much longer. TrumpCrimeFamily realDonaldTrump
You’re fake news Enemy of the people
Yeah... are you sure that’s were he is aiming 😂
Pot meets kettle
Lol
I wish he would aim higher.
The media can’t stop shooting their own...2 years of pushing a phony narrative just blew up in your face yet you’re still trying.
Opinion: should do less options and more journalism.
Maybe they should try the head!
Um you mean AOC , right?
Blah blah blah blaaah blah. Let the man continue talking. He’s running for re-election so if his followers are ok with the reverse of winning then I’m glad Trump is f’ing with their health care. In fact, let Trump remove more, I’d like to see rural areas still think he’s for 🇺🇸
please... keep going.
No collusion!!😂👍
It's just not the Trump way.
Good
Maybe he's trying to solve his bone spurs problem the NRA way....
Phase two
Good. Wish he was using a real gun
Can’t he please aim higher?
No, actually. WaPo keeps shooting itself in the head. Not much in there anyway. Sad!
Too bad he can’t seem to find his head...
Could keep putting his foot in his mouth.
Good. I'm not going to stop him.
Not an opinion but the truth, The WP and other fake news not only shot themself in the foot they collectively shoot themself in the head not being able to procees no evidence of Collusion found in Russian Collusion hoax..
Thank God for that.
Foot? More like his balls.
And yet... He never pays a price
POTUS AIM HIGHER - I KNOW IT'S A SMALL TARGET BUT...
At this point nothing will make his base move away from him. We can bark as much they fools have already madeup their minds.
I wish he’d aim for his head. criminal immoral
Yea! At some point, perhaps he’ll aim a little higher.
It is all part of his plan to remain controversial and in the news constantly. Stop buying into it.
FakeNews
If there’s One thing that inspires Trump it’s press reports that are negative towards him,Believe it or not they actually fuel his ambition, he’s a guy who thrives And digs deep on negativity,.... ‘Don’t Shoot The Messenger My Liege,.. 🕊
as opposed to nobody trusting your fake news?
Why do you expect Dotard to Change?
I think you meant the media.
Media just can't stop shooting themselves in the foot. There, fixed it for you.
It’s a tested strategy... Self reported foot pain kept him out of Vietnam
Absolute bs of an article
Fuck I wish he'd aim better.
That’s what makes him watchable
Too early to say anything
fakenewswapo EnemyOfThePeople nobodybelievesyou
Lol, especially with Barr. It's coming out and he'll look even worse.
Huh? What planet do you live on?
He can't help himself. He's a narcissist.
Trash paper for sure
Opinions don’t matter Stick to reporting the real news !!!!
you mean the Washington Post
And then saying it wasn’t him it was Obama or Hillary
He's a giant dick..and not in a good way.
Or shooting of his mouth or putting his foot in his mouth, etc., etc
Let’s hope as not confident the Dems are thinking the lessons they needed to learn on last loss!!!
Well, he is very dumb
Let him!
the reason we have the hoax was because Trump fired tall homey, not the POW the deadman Trump has been stalking over the steely dossier do Trump fired homey, then told lester holt, 'i said to myself, the musher thing with Trump and siberian huskies is a made up story'
FartNoise You are irrelevant . No one gives AF about your BS. 😂😂😂
Trolls love attention please stop giving this troll attention.
You mean the Democrats and media can't just stop spreading rumors and tabloid articles?
🤫🤫🤫 don’t tell him
It seems that either these pro Trump commentators are bots or they’re not aware of the difference between reporting and editorials.
If only he’d aim a little higher and use an AR15.
His Daddy said “Win at all Cost” and Trump said. He will change it. If he don’t like it. That’s every waking min he’s awake. We can not be mentally beaten by this fraud.
Maybe if he aimed a little bit higher next time...
Says u! The paper that pumped fake news for the last almost 700 days straight smh ummm im guessing no he didn’t !
According to the Washington Post? Give me a break!
I myself am entirely convinced that this disguised unbearable man will take The States to nowhere.
says the media outlet who keeps doing the same thing lol
OPINION: Washington Post is FakeNews
1. Deregulating EPA 2. Insulted military heroes 3. Taking away people’s health care 4. Race baiting 5. 9,000 + Lies & counting 6. Undermined America’s Humanitarian reputation 7. Coddles dictators 8. Nepotism 9. He fugles 10. He 🍊 NotExonerated
He keeps shooting Himself in the foot. And all his cronies that are on the payroll keep bandaging him up. It’s like Spider in Goodfellas. “Take him down to Ben Casey”. SMH.
Almost like certain people/outlets with all that “collusion and traitor” stuff, right?
Can’t expect someone who skipped Vietnam to be able to shoot a gun right anyway.
And he could do it on fifth avenue and get by with it.
As the Washington Post knows there will be many people on the staff of the Post that will be going to jail for a long time. These ridiculous articles will continue to come out until they are all in jail. Also, cannot wait to see the judgment of $250M go against this paper.
Must be those short fingers.
No. Trump’s normal is that he’s crap. Very rarely does he win. It’s an anomaly.
Tell him to aim about 6 feet higher.
Opinion: The Media just can't stop shooting themselves in the foot
Opinion: MSM just can't stop shooting themselves in the foot. Ftfy
Yeah, what a terrible week for him. 🙄
Or putting his foot in his mouth.
They should outlaw large capacity clips just to protect the President....😄
Well we’re about to revisit all the success of The Shutdown with each passing day that Mueller’s report is blocked...
You ok hun?
How is Bozo doing?
Seems like a couple pretty good days to me. Do what ya gotta do, WaPo.
