Karl Rove: ‘Trump lacks the focus or self-discipline to do the basic work required of a president’

By Max Greenwood  - 06/08/17 10:04 PM EDT 

Karl Rove, a former senior adviser to President George W. Bush, slammed President Trump on Wednesday, saying that the real estate mogul "lacks the focus or self-discipline to do the basic work required of a president."

"His chronic impulsiveness is apparently unstoppable and clearly self-defeating," Rove wrote in an op-ed for the Wall Street Journal. "Mr. Trump may have mastered the modes of communication, but not the substance, thereby sabotaging his own agenda."

Rove took particular aim at a series of tweets launched by Trump on Monday that appeared to undermine his Justice Department's argument for an executive order barring citizens of six Muslim-majority countries from entering the U.S.

What did your discipline help accomplish, Rove? A greatly expanded government? Runaway spending? Endless, aimless wars?

I can remember when the moniker "magnificent bastard" was used to describe Rove.  He's now become a living breathing joke.

What basic work is that Karl? Creating massive bureaucracies that do nothing but trample on peoples rights or starting multi-generational wars that do nothing but drive US solvency off the cliff?

No matter his merits in past deeds, Karl's pretty much right.

Unless Trump drastically changes, his Presidency will be lost.

Back in my days selling printing I scooped up a pretty penny thanks to Karl, all his work was rush, rush, overnight.  Besides accumulating the down payment for a nice house there were secondary benefits as well.  Turns out being invited to political gatherings comes complete with a few pleasant surprises, not the least of which is an open bar.  Thanks Karl.

Sorry for the side track, now back to Rove bashing . . .

Everything trumpers believe is a false dichotomy. The media lies so Putin must be honest. If you don't support Trump you must support Clinton etc.

I guess more complex concepts are too hard for them to grasp.

Yeah! Been there, done that, got the tee shirt! 

Karl was good at that as I say! He should have stuck to it!
