Republicans have been slow to come out against President Donald Trump but conservative strategist Karl Rove is done.In a blistering op-ed in the Wall Street Journal, Rove said, “Trump lacks the focus or self-discipline to do the basic work required of a president.”Rove began explaining why Trump’s tweeting doesn’t remove the media barrier between Trump and the citizenry, it consistently undermines his administration and his political agenda. Citing Trump’s tweets calling his executive order a “travel ban,” Rove said the legal strategy defending the ban “lies in tatters.”....(snip)....
I'd call it more of an effort to issue a wake up call then "being done". He makes some valid points about the damage often done to his Trump's own agenda by unvetted tweeting. The real answer is that Trump needs someone he trusts....and who will tell him no...to screen his tweets BEFORE the go public. The tweets are a powerful tool to control the news cycle, get out his perspective, and...honestly...to push his opponents into acts of absurdity. They can also be a shot to his own foot....so he must find a way to manage the downside of this very potent PR tool.
Karl Rove is done with Trump
IOWs a 70 y/o child that needs supervision is head of the free world. Sigh....
I hate that bastard. He is the major reason why Bush kept moving left. Karl Rove thinks he got Bush elected, but the truth is that Bush got elected *IN SPITE* of Karl Rove's efforts to wreck him through his stupid moderate outreach crap. Karl Rove needed to get off the national stage over a decade ago. He has never been helpful to fixing the nation's problems.
Much better than a foreign national communist idiot in my opinion. Throwing darts at a wall would have made a better President than Barack Obama, or for that matter Hillary Clinton.
Or for that matter, Donald Trump.
Oh, another "I hate Trump!" message crouched in different words. How mundane.
I'm not sure about the actual harm done to Trump by his tweets.
Heh, if Rove is done with Trump, then I'm done with him. Actually, I have been for a long time. That RINO needs to take a bench seat and Fox News needs to dump him. He played no part in getting Trump elected, none whatsoever. The guy's irrelevant
Yeah?I was 'Done' with Rove years ago.
Rove and Trump definitely have a history... and not a pretty one.... but they did sit down and meet during the election behind closed doors. Rove holds some keys to big donor groups and Trump did give one of Rove's best buddies a nice government position job
