Trump's accomplishments amazing amidst adversity
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
On Friday, Trump called on United States Attorney General Jeff Sessions to launch an investigation into the identity of the anonymous "senior official" behind the op-ed published in the New York Times that described an effort inside the White House to protect the country from the president's "misguided impulses."
Trump quickly responded, calling the opinion piece critical of his leadership a "national security" issue.
The head of Center for Security Policy in Washington, D.C., Frank Gaffney, pointed out that the Trump administration has been afflicted from its inception by people who are not supportive of the president’s program.
"What I think most people believed that was confined to people who were holdovers from the Obama administration – of whom there were enormous numbers, in part, because of one of the things Democrats specialize in doing – is taking people who are appointees and having them converting to civil servant status employees of the government,” Gaffney explained. “And you can't fire them as a practical matter."
The defense expert also noted that the administration turned over the keys to the personnel system to Republican establishment types.
"[These establishment types] brought in Republicans who think a lot more of John McCain than they do of Donald Trump, and so the president has been truly saddled with resistance within as they say of both the Democratic stripe and the Republican establishment stripe,” Gaffney explained. “And when you think about it, it's kind of amazing he's gotten anything done at all – let alone as much as he's gotten done – in the face of what can only be described as sabotage."

If this is " adversity "...
I love this last and best part of watching the right bullshitting the less intelligent.
The article never touches what accomplishments Trump.has chalked up.
He does a great job of taking credit for other peoples' work but I have yet to see them and when the lessor minded are pressed for tjese so-called accomplishments they call you a hater amd deflect
The entire article is flawed. The cited "expert" is a far right , islamophobic, conspiracy crank.
Frank J. Gaffney Jr. is an American counter-jihad conspiracy theorist
POS/POTUS hasn't accomplished much of anything positive for the middle class. Welcome to karma town, knuckle dragging birthers.

The NFIB's Small Business Optimism Index in the US rose to 108.8 in August of 2018 from 107.9 in July, beating market expectations of 108.2. It is a new record high reading, topping 108 in July of 1983.
Stock market great, Dow great.
Housing great.
4.2 GDP just revised upwards (remember when obama's were always revised downward?)
Jobs added up, even the blue collar jobs are expanding ans well as Manufacturing up, more people in the work force than under obama...
If Trump is doing such a horrible job, why is obummer running around trying to take credit for it? Huh???
Somethings going right !!!!!
Yep, the impeachment movement is growing.
The face of "Impeachment" !
bawahahaha....um, okay.
and yet white people use the government benefits the most. smh wow!!
no shit sherlock, the point is that producing a photo of a black elected congresswoman is to please the small minds here. my comment was to remind folks that white folks use the same system too.
why do i have to say something i already knew--- again it was for the small minds.
And another troll disappearing act....
Yeah, I don't stay on here long or very often...it's pretty pointless and a waste of time talking with liberals...same ^%$&, different day. Sometime I just get on here for the comedy value from the left.
Maybe because of this? Trump is nowhere NEAR these numbers, not even in the same ball park.
hahaha, you got that from a proglin leftist site called "donkey feed" ?? LMBO. That is priceless. No stats or links, just some lamebrain lib with a site called "donkey feed"....
See what I mean about comedy value, Studibagus?
The Data
On top of everything else (or perhaps a simple reason for a slowdown in new home production in the US) a US/Trump tariff on Canadian softwoods which are adding, on average, $9,000.00 per home.
On top of 'natural market forces', we have the impending damages that may well result from the latest giant hurricane to approach the mainland.
All construction materials will be in short supply and high demand at the very least as we have to "adjust" to the 20% higher costs of Canadian lumber.
It's just genius, I tell you, very stable genius./s
Fortunately Trump has been siphoning millions of dollars away from FEMA and the Coast Guard to fund his anti-immigrant projects. We can't have any more Puerto Ricans running around loose in the US, can we?
Gotta keep them furriners OUT!!
Wonderful! Your stocks are doing well? Your business is humming right along? Perfec.....wait, that was you bitching about having to work 3 jobs to survive during Obama's admin. suddenly you're reapimg the benefits of the stock market?
Let's get to the reality of the average person, the one that climbs in their car on the way to work and hope it starts.
Food has shot up, gas is up over 25% higher since inauguration, lumber...ya kmow that housing great thing? Up 20%, appliances jumped. And job offshoring bygovernment contractors is 3 times what it was during the last two administrations.
Yay! You get to keep $200 more in your income taxes...Yay! You're going to pay $1000 more to survive...and when he enacts his whack job tariff taxes you'll be back to three jobs and trying to blame it on someone else.
Oh! And "Housing great" ? Housing starts have declined for the last 3 months.
Yep...I did that for several years. But since I have switched and just have one full time job now and live in a new state , I was able to buy a newer car last year, and bought a new fixer upper home (which is mostly renovated now) in the last year, I have a new job with insurance and benefits.
Stock market deflection there? Did I say I was "reapimg the benefits of the stock market?" I just said it up as is job starts, small business, starts, and the rest of this list, etc.
Yep, I am reaping the benefits of a new administration!! Life is good again!! MAGA!! Cheers!
Wait, what accomplishments?
1) Trump successfully threw a roll of paper towels at a Puerto Rican.
Lol, look for Trump brand paper towels, coming to a supermarket near you. The label says 1000 sheets per roll but there are actually 100. It also says "These are the greatest paper towels ever, believe me."
Absolutely nothing in the article is illegal, that's been pointed out several times now. So trump got his poor little ego bruised and now he wants an investigation to find out who posted the article? Donny still hasn't figured out that the DOJ is not there for his personal use OR can be used to defend his fucking ego. What an absolute MORON.
