The President Is Not Going to Stop Tweeting

Jul 9, 2020



RUSH: Luke in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Great to have you, Luke. How are you doing, sir?

CALLER: Great. How are you, Mr. Limbaugh? First of all, mega dittos and mega prayers. I was told to get straight to the point, so I’ll do that. I heard you acknowledge in the first opening monologue for the first time in a while that Trump’s tweets are actually kind of hurting him. For example, he’s going on and on about the Supreme Court today, even though he’s winning.

He brought up the Bubba Wallace apologizing tweet the other day even though that issue was settled. And another example just like the veto of the defense bill renaming the Confederate bases. Why are these the hills that he’s trying to die on? Like, I know that you have his ear.

And it’s the first time that I’ve heard you acknowledge that his tweets might actually be hurting him. I feel if he would settle down on Twitter a little bit, this election is his to lose and he’s just — the self-inflicted wounds are not hurting him — or are not helping him at all.

RUSH: Well, if I may, I didn’t actually say that the tweet is hurting him. I said I didn’t understand it. I said, “I don’t understand why he’s not high-fiving this today. The people that want to destroy him by seeing his tax records are not gonna get to see them.” That, to me, is bottom line. But instead he’s tweeting about how he continues to be persecuted here.

About how this is nothing more than a continuation of Mueller which failed and the Ukraine thing which failed and the impeachment which failed. I don’t think he’s ever gonna stop tweeting, and I don’t think there’s anybody who could make him stop tweeting. And he’s explained that, in his mind, in his opinion, if he weren’t tweeting and if he hadn’t been tweeting, that he would have been thrown out of office already.

He believes that his tweets are the only way that he has a chance to level the playing field against an obviously biased mainstream media. Why he wants to go after Bubba Wallace and why he wants to go after whatever other things you said? Only he can explain this. But you have to also look at it from his standpoint. He was tweeting throughout the 2016 campaign, and he wins.

He tweeted throughout the Russia hoax. He tweeted throughout the Ukraine impeachment — and every effort to get him failed. In his mind, his tweets are succeeding. I think there’s a lot of people on the Trump side who are curious and a little unnerved and think, “Gosh. This guy is just — he’s choosing the wrong things,” like your Bubba Wallace example and other things.

I can’t explain it to you. He may be thinking that this is what he has to do to keep his base with him, or these tweets could be an actual window into his mind. He’s really ticked off about some of this stuff and feels compelled to get his side of it out, and tweeting — Twitter — is the only way he can do it. I’m glad you called out there, Luke. Thanks much.

Can't say that I blame him.  As cringeworthy as his tweets may be, there has been nothing else he has done that has kept the opposition off balance more than his tweeting.

I have chosen to ignore his tweets, while leftists continue to react to them with psychopathic rage each and every day.  And while the left remains focused on their own hysteria, Trump is able to get things done.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

What about "the mushy middle" where elections are decided?

Think the majority of them want to sign up for four more years of a 75-78 year old man rotating between whiny self-pitying, preening self-glorifying, and disturbing rage-tweeting dozens of times a day?

Unlike four years ago, when he was given the benefit of the doubt, now they definitively know that he won't change, that he won't act presidential.  Asking a fickle mushy middle to sign up for four more years of that elderly drama in their lives is a tough ask.

To demonstrators who infiltrated the Capitol: you have defiled the seat of American democracy. To those who engage in the acts of violence and destruction: you do not represent our country. And to those who broke the law: you will pay." - President Donald J. Trump, January 7th, 2021
