I spend as much time as I can looking for opportunities to praise him. Today, I praised the president’s judicial nominees. He is counter balancing the judiciary; that is a blessing. He’s picking originalists, which is a great thing.
But when I critique the president, I’m critiquing how things are handled, not necessarily the actions themselves. I want his administration to stop looking like a clown show, from a perspective of communications. They should be the ones who own the narrative. This is not a difficult thing to do.
We need to realize that low-information voters only hear the way mainstream media presents the story. Trump needs to take control of his messaging.
