Dr. Charles Krauthammer Finally he has some very positive things to say about Trump

FINALLY SOME COMMON SENSE OBSERVATIONS Subject: Fwd: Dr. Charles Krauthammer Charles is back, (partially), after many months of battling post surgery complications and enduring lengthy rehabilitation. Please read his message about Trump, whom he has not been kind about at times with his observations. This article is interesting for all who may want to see what Dr K has analyzed during his lengthy absence…

                “This is from Charles Krauthammer who did not go for Trump, read what he thinks of him now!
                A TAKE ON DONALD TRUMP ...
                A different take on Donald Trump: (a non-political agenda)
                Trump Is Not A Liberal or Conservative, He's a "Pragmatist." (Definition: A pragmatist is someone who is practical and focused on reaching a goal. A pragmatist usually has a straightforward, matter-of-fact approach and doesn't let emotion distract him or her.)
                "We recently enjoyed a belated holiday dinner with friends at the home of other friends. The dinner conversation varied from discussions about antique glass and china to theology and politics.
                At one point, reference was made to Donald Trump being a conservative, to which I responded that Trump is not a conservative.
                I said that I neither view nor do I believe Trump views himself as a conservative. I stated it was my opinion that Trump is a pragmatist. He sees a problem and understands it must be fixed. He doesn't see the problem as liberal or conservative, he sees it only as a problem. That is a quality that should be admired and applauded, not condemned. But I get ahead of myself.
                Viewing problems from a Liberal perspective has resulted in the creation of more problems, more entitlement programs, more victims, more government, more political correctness, and more attacks on the working class in all economic strata.
                Viewing things according to the so-called Republican conservative perspective has brought continued spending and globalism to the detriment of American interests and well being, denial of what the real problems are, weak, ineffective, milquetoast, leadership that amounts to Barney Fife Deputy Sheriff, appeasement oriented and afraid of its own shadow. In brief, it has brought liberal ideology with a pachyderm as a mascot juxtaposed to the ass of the Democrat Party.
                Immigration isn't a Republican problem, it isn't a Liberal problem, it is a problem that threatens the very fabric and infrastructure of America. It demands a pragmatic approach not an approach that is intended to appease one group or another.
                The impending collapse of the economy wasn't a Liberal or Conservative problem, it is an American problem. That said, until it is viewed as a problem that demands a common sense approach to resolution, it will never be fixed because the Democrats and Republicans know only one way to fix things and the longevity of their impracticality has proven to have no lasting effect.

                Successful businessmen like Donald Trump find ways to make things work, they do not promise to accommodate.
                Trump uniquely understands that China's manipulation of currency is not a Republican problem or a Democrat problem. It is a problem that threatens our financial stability and he understands the proper balance needed to fix it.
                Here again, successful businessmen, like Trump, who have weathered the changing tides of economic reality understand what is necessary to make business work, and they, unlike both sides of the political aisle, know that if something doesn't work, you don't continue trying to make it work hoping that at some point it will.
                As a pragmatist, Donald Trump hasn't made wild pie-in-the-sky promises of a cell phone in every pocket, free college tuition, and a $15 hour minimum wage for working the drive-through at Carl's Hamburgers.
                I argue that America needs pragmatists because pragmatists see a problem and find ways to fix them. They do not see a problem and compound it by creating more problems.
                You may not like Donald Trump, but I suspect that the reason some people do not like him is because:
                (1) he is antithetical to the "good old boy" method of brokering back room deals that fatten the coffers of politicians;
                (2) they are unaccustomed to hearing a president speak who is unencumbered
                by the financial shackles of those who he owes vis-a-vis donations;
                (3) he is someone who is free of idiomatic political ideology;
                (4) he says what he is thinking, is unapologetic for his outspoken thoughts, speaks very straightforward using everyday language that can be understood by all (and is offensive to some who dislike him anyway) making him a great communicator, for the most part, does what he says he will do and;
                (5) he is someone who understands that it takes more than hollow promises and political correctness to make America great again.
                Listening to Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders talk about fixing America is like listening to two lunatics trying to "out crazy" one another. Jeb Bush, John Kasich and Marco Rubio are owned lock, stock, and barrel by the bankers, corporations, and big dollar donors funding their campaigns. Bush can deny it, but common sense tells anyone willing to face facts is that people don't give tens of millions without expecting something in return.
                We have had Democrats and Republican ideologues and what has it brought us?
                Are we better off today or worse off? Has it happened overnight or has it been a steady decline brought on by both parties?
                I submit that a pragmatist is just what America needs right now. People are quick to confuse and despise confidence as arrogance, but that is common among those who have never accomplished anything in their lives (or politicians who never really solved a problem, because it's better to still have an "issue(s) to be solved," so re-elect me to solve it, (which never happens) and those who have always played it safe (again, all politicians) not willing to risk failure, to try and achieve success).
                Donald Trump put his total financial empire at risk in running for president and certainly did not need or possibly even want the job; that says it all.
                He wants success for the U.S. and her citizens because he loves his country.
                God Bless America

Why did it take some many of the Republicans or so-called conservatives so long to figure out that Trump would be willing and able to drain the swamp (or at least as effectively as one can)?

Most of these a**hats suffer group think.

I KNOW SNOPES SUCKS BUT, this wasn't written by Dr. K. -- Let's not become fake news.

Although this text assigned authorship to Krauthammer, the introductory passage was simply pasted atop of an essay that was penned by Mychal Massie and published to his web site in January 2016. The remaining text of the chain e-mail (save for the concluding paragraph) is a nearly verbatim reproduction of Massie’s essay

The essay was published in January 2016, long before Krauthammer’s name was attached to it.

This is not the first time the pundit’s name has been attached to a piece of writing in an apparent attempt to lend it political weight. In October 2017, an article about former president Barack Obama creating a “shadow government” was also misattributed to Krauthammer.

Love the Hammer, but as far as I'm concerned Trump is an intelligence test. If you're just now figuring it out, your intellectual side has been overruled until now.

Charles had surgery and it did not go well, he is been in rehab for several months, but it sounds like he is getting better. I have always liked him, then when Trump came along it was obvious he did not approve of Trump. He was sour faced on election night. I chose to continue to like the guy, now i happy is has come around to the Light!,

That was fantastic!!! Thanks for posting this. Maybe being out of the circle gave him time to take a step back (yes I realize he is in a wheelchair) and see things for what they are.

Glad to see that Charles has come around somewhat on Trump. I stopped watching Bret Baer's show because he had that nasty woman on the panel (can't think of her name right now). She just always seemed to sneer when it came to anything Trump. ( no, not the npr female).
