Blatant evidence that he is mentally unwell. Unwell past the point of being unfit for office. The letter is linked in the following reaction piece (I encourage you to read both): https://www.cnn.com/2019/12/17/politics/trump-letter-nancy-pelosi-impeachment/index.html
IDK, could be another stroke of political genius from the dumbass-in-chief. He's managed to get millions and millions of people now to read his letter (and/or to read the various Dems' response to his letter) and build sympathy among citizens who similarly "can't read good" for his plain-language arguments that he's being picked on and persecuted.
It's honestly not THAT bad...actual link below. https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/6581916-Letter-From-President-Trump-Final.html
The letter reads like multiple authors had a hand in its writing. Almost like he had a staffer initially write it up, and then he went back over and Trumped it up.
The attack on Pelosi saying "I pray for the president" is no accident at all. That is a long time coming. The way that Trump voting Evangelicals think is that there is no difference between their politics and the church. Trump knows this. He's trying to ensure those supporters are kept in line to recall their thinking that Dems are not "REALLY" Christians because they kill babies. The Dems like Pelosi and especially Buttegieg (who is very articulate about religion) need to continue to speak out about religion for this reason. The more you push someone like Trump to try to fight to brainwash Christians to see no separation in Church & State, the more obvious it will become that Christians are being used, and manipulated, and that its actually the Trump party that doesn't give two craps about Christianity. It's all for political power.
How about just link the letter instead of poisoning the well with cnn propaganda. https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/6581916-Letter-From-President-Trump-Final.html I encourage people to think for themselves.
How is this a "policy disagreement"? Freezing aid to a country that has already been approved which is considered beneficial to US national security interests and US foreign policy out of a desire to get government of said aid country to do your personal political biddings isn't a "policy agreement". It's a blatant abuse of power for personal reasons rather than believing it was for the country.
The support for Trump shows that conservatives are different type of people than liberals or moderates and why it is harder to win for Democrats.
I agree except for the part of pushing Trump.... You don't push someone like Trump or get on his level.. That's what he wants... The personality that scares Trump more than anyone are Mueller ad Michelle Obama's.. Why because they stay on point and never get down to his level. They stay with the facts and the narrative and don't try to be sarcastic or cute. This is the type of Democrat who will be Trump in the presidential race. But so far all of these candidates keep trying to fight fire with fire and they want win... Last I checked water will put out fire. So stay on point, talk to the people and don't get caught up with his BS... He's very very good at taking you out of your comfort zone and bringing you down to his... T_Man
I think it more shows the power of information & dis-information. Every single time one of my Trumper friends goes off on Trump victimization talking point rants, I find a way to empathize and then shift to why is this happening from a civics perspective. When I explain the "WHY" they always.... like clockwork....make the statement that goes something like "Well I don't get all into that".... meaning they are admitting they don't understand or want to understand how government works. HOWEVER... they are more than happy having extremely strong opinions about something they admit they do not understand. Are they functionally different type of human beings??... not really. They just make a choice to have extremely strong opinions about something without all of the information they know they need to have such opinions. This leads to being highly susceptible to dis-information from propaganda outlets like FoxNews, and Trumps other dis-information outlets.
I didn't mean to get on his level especially on Christianity. It's a very serious topic, and should be treated as such by Democrats. Which is not how Trump treats the topic. I'll clarify that I mean having the courage as a Democrat to speak about your faith, and speak clearly about Jesus' teachings as it relates to morality in your decision making in public service. Mayor Pete does a great job of articulating this in a way that cuts through the way that Trump/Pence abuse their blind support of Christian voters. Statements like Pelosi made on her experience growing up as a Catholic are important to be vocal about as well. I don't really see it as "Pushing" Trump... I think the better way of putting it is to say they shouldn't allow Trump/GOP to bully Democrats into cowering on the topic, and should be vocal in calling out how Christian voters are being abused and manipulated for political gain. Them doing this and not cowering will inevitably drive Trump mad and expose him in the end because he does not see Christianity as something that is as serious as it should be. He sees it as all about politics and power.
