Biographer Michael D’Antonio: Trump's Reaction To Nancy Pelosi Proves He's 'Scared'

Donald Trump biographer Michael D'Antonio said he believes the president'sDonald Trump biographer Michael D’Antonio said he believes the president’s decision to postpone the State of the Union address was proof that he’s “scared.”
Late Wednesday, Trump posted these two messages on Twitter:

While speaking to CNN’s Don Lemon , D’Antonio said that it was clear the president was “afraid,” but doubted whether the decision to postpone was actually Trump’s:
“It’s shocking,” D’Antonio said. “This sounds like something that maybe Ivanka wrote or Jared Kushner. It really doesn’t sound like Donald Trump’s language. This is a fellow who has troubles stringing three words together in the right order.”

Pelosi and Hillary intelligent and strong?
Well, she hasn't backed down on the wall.
This is like watching a bullfight, trump with zero political experience is the bull who charges anything and everything that annoys him, and Pelosi the matador who has been in politics for a loonngg time. She waves her cape, trump naturally charges, she steps to the side and trump gets another dart in his hump as he thunders by.
He'll do the same thing again and again because he doesn't know any other way.
More leftist misogyny? You have to attack a woman based on how she looks?

You forget she was already gored when she was grounded by Trump. No backstabbing Trump with NATO; or a photo op with the troops for her and her entourage. So her "matador" skills are severely lacking.
As for backing down on the wall; that is more being politically weak. The radical members of her own party are ensuring that; which is the reason she hasn't put forward a budget with all of the "grand ideas" she promised. No, she wants the government to reopen first to remove all pressure from her and the Dems; then they will negotiate border security at some later date, maybe, somewhere down the road, when they hold the country hostage for something they want.
Problem is Trump won't budge. I am being to think he doesn't give a damn about being re-elected; he will take the Dems down with him in flames.
Wow, trump sure fixed her. Pelosi and the rest of the Dems (see, Pelosi, by herself, can't make a budget bill) passed four budget bills up, one bill to reopen each part of the Government trump shut down, but gee, McConnell wouldn't put them up for a vote because he said trump would never sign any of them without trump's $5.7 B in them so he didn't bother to bring them up for a vote.
Then there was the latest bill from the Dems (NO $5.7B) that was voted down by fewer votes then the bill that did have his $5.7B. Seems the mighty GOP has some defectors on the great wall.
By the way, blackmail, brinkmanship, shutdowns, intimidation, slamming the desk and saying "bye-bye" are pretty much GOP tactics, not the Dems.
Trump doesn't care about re-elections, he only cares about getting his own way, and I'm beginning to think he's a frustrated gay young boy.
He tried to hook-up with Putin by heaping flattery and kissing Putin's pink parts as he got his orders, he went skipping off hand-in-hand with the President of France in the WH, presumably to show President Marion his room, and he says he and "President" Un have fallen in love, or maybe he meant he's fallen in love with the idea of a military dictatorship.
Normally with somebody like Pelosi, trump would run away and hide and insult them on twitter from a safe distance, but Pelosi is a woman (so hiding would be so undignified) and he doesn't know what to do, she doesn't know her place.
Yes he will.
Lol he has been campaigning for reelection since his swearing in.
The mid terms did happen, and polls from multiuple sources consistently show the dems winning the shutdown fight. Maybe next time tell dumb fuck not to publicly say he will shut the government down, be proud to do so, and then actually do it.
He really has budged a ton during his shutdown.
No, Obama was campaigning for reelection since he was sworn in. Trump is running again; but anyone that thinks it is getting his full attention isn't watching very closely. Trump will run; but he doesn't seem too concerned about a second term. He is just too stubborn to drop out after 1 term.
Yes, they did; and like every recent mid term the party in power lost seats. Want to explain why the Dems only took the House; but lost seats in the Senate.
Polls are for sheeple; and multiple sources? What, the Dems talking heads saying they are? The longer the shutdown goes on the worse it is for everyone. Including the Dems. Or do you think they aren't going to get any backlash when 5.8 billion dollars doesn't amount to anything in the budget? When federal workers haven't been paid for several weeks, or months, think the Dems will be let off the hook when Pelosi has stated repeatedly not one dollar will go towards increasing/upgrading the border fence? That isn't negotiating. She and Schumer are just as dumb as Trump.
And maybe tell the Dems that most people do have a brain; and can easily research that they have voted to expand the border fence in the past- and were discussing even more money for the fence and border security before Trump took office. Which is the only thing that changed. Well that and the Dems getting in even more radical Congress Members that Pelosi seems unwilling to control.
Yeah, because Scumbag and his trumpsters would never do anything like that, right?
Awww.....
Wow. What goes on at CNN is such a sad thing compared to what used to be good news network. How does anyone even watch this stuff for more than a minute?
There's nothing for Trump to be afraid of. What he mainly accomplished yesterday was to expose Pelosi as 1) a liar for her nonsense about security and 2) someone who is making zero effort to get the country going again.
Naw, what he did is called backing down, and this shutdown is pure trump and he said he'd wear it with pride, so let him.
"Wow. What goes on at CNN is such a sad thing compared to what used to be good news network. How does anyone even watch this stuff for more than a minute?"
Funny, I feel the same way about Fox. Except Fox (gag) never was funny, it would interfere with them scaring the fox flock to death or working them up to a lather over something.
At least Michael D’Antonio said it with a "Scared" face ! (facepalm)
Of course he is, this is the first time in his life he doesn't have a way to weasel out of something he started. Before it was bankruptcy or daddy would pay off his debts, or he could simply pull the other (always smaller party) into legal proceedings they couldn't sustain for years on end. He could always find a way to either run off with his winnings and fuck over everyone else, or just fuck over everyone else but come out unscathed. Not this time.
And there it is, Trump just caved on the shutdown, as I knew he would.
