Title: Trump praises RFK Jr as 'common sense guy,' as GOP reportedly strategizes the Kennedy threat against
Post by: kevindavis007 on June 28, 2023, 03:57:36 pm

The GOP is repotedly viewing Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as a strategic threat against President Biden in the early stages of the nominating contest.


During a brief appearance on "The Howie Carr Show" Monday, former President Trump himself gave a somewhat positive nod toward Kennedy.


"Just hang in," Trump advised Kennedy. "He’s been very nice to me, I’ve actually had a very nice relationship with him over the years. He’s a very smart guy, and a good guy."

   He said the same thing about Gov. Newsome.  Is there a pattern here?

Absolutely - if you feed Trump's ego, he's on your side.  It's why he's nice to Kim Jong Un and Putin.  He cannot separate personal from business relationships.

Look at the very first thing Trump says - "he's been very nice to me."

That's all that really matters to the guy.  He also said that's the reason he never said anything bad about Newsome - "because he was so nice to me."

Their principles, politics, the direction they see for the country all pale in importance to whether or not they were nice to Trump personally.

That's just such a juvenile way of viewing the world.

So if Chairman Xi said nice things about Trump he would be nice to China.

Absolutely.  Been true with Putin, Kim Jong Un, Newsome, and now RFK Jr..  Why not Xi as well?

Almost the exact same words for Kim Jong Un too after meeting him.

So all Xi had to do was say nice things about Trump and then Taiwan would have been part of the Communist China right now.

Which is why I can't support him again. Yeah he did a few things right last time, but when it came time for the more important stuff he couldn't pull the trigger. He's too worried about image and the interpersonal stuff.

Subordinating policy/principles to whether or not somebody flatters him makes him completely unreliable.
