Don't buy any of Dumpie's backpeddling

The Con is worried about his reelection, so he's trying to act "normal." Don't buy that shit.

<snip> In the last few days, President Donald Trump flip-flopped on his order to launch a military strike on Iran and then suddenly delayed his much-hyped mass deportation of undocumented immigrants.

Has the impetuous President who seems to tweet first and think second finally become more thoughtful? Or is Trump beginning to consider the prospect of losing re-election in 2020 and now second-guessing some of his more controversial choices?

I'd bet the latter scenario is more likely, especially given Trump's comments Sunday morning on "Meet the Press": "I'm probably not too prepared to lose. I don't like losing," He then added, "I haven't lost very much in my life." </snip>

die he would say he’s winning bigly.

What I think he’s doing is making himself look like he’s driving a hard bargain. He’s so out of touch with every bit of news outside of Fox that he still thinks he has us ALL fooled.
