A Barbarian and not a genteel Republican in the white house

Genteel Republicans like Mitt Romney complain about Donald Trump’s unpresidential behavior, but how else does he combat the dirty left?

Only a barbarian could defy the liberal establishment as he has done.

Imagine if Romney were president, trying to be dignified and patrician. They’d eat him alive. Unless, of course, he did nothing to block their agenda, in which case he’d be left alone like all the other cowardly roll-over Republicans.

The American people chose a barbarian for president because they knew only a barbarian could drain the Washington swamp.

And, judging by the president’s unchanged approval ratings since House Democrats launched their impeachment inquiry, not to mention his record donation take on the back of it, Trump fans are with him for the long haul, no matter how boorishly he behaves.

They see him implementing his agenda against all odds. If the swamp gets in his way, Trump bulldozes over it. Supreme Court, tick. Taxes cut, tick. Regulations slashed, tick. Jobs up, tick. Military rebuilt, tick. ISIS stopped, tick. Globalism challenged, tick. Paris climate treaty scrapped, tick. Borders strengthened, tick. Wall built, half-tick.

All while the Washington establishment tries to sabotage his presidency and the liberal media reviles him.
He is Teflon Don, energized by a battle that would have broken a genteel Republican long ago
.
That’s why the Dems are afraid and it’s why they’re projecting like crazy. This is the disease of the left.
The legendary Austrian psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud defined “projection” as a psychological defense mechanism in which people repress their own shameful thoughts and impulses by attributing them to others.

Also known as “shame-dumping,” projection is a form of denial, or “negation,” as Freud called it in a 1925 paper.
Examples of Freudian projection include a rude person accusing others of being rude or an adulterer accusing his wife of cheating on him.

The psychiatric bible, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, says projection shifts your “own undesirable thoughts, motivations, desires, feelings onto someone else.”
It may help you deal with “unconscious feelings of shame and inadequacy,” according to a 2017 paper on “maladaptive personalities” in the journal Frontiers in Psychology.

Trump has snit fit over ‘ass’ Mitt Romney
So, when you hear liberals constantly accuse their ideological enemies, without evidence, of such thought crimes as racism, sexism, xenophobia and bigotry, chances are they’re projecting.

In the case of Democrats, they constantly accuse Trump of sins they have themselves committed.
For example, Joe Biden wrote a weekend op-ed accusing Trump of “abusing the power of the presidency … He is using the highest office in the land to advance his personal interests.”

Yet Biden is in denial about allegations that he abused the power of the vice presidency to advance his son’s personal interests.

At the very least, “Quid Pro Joe,” as Twitter has dubbed him, had a conflict of interest when, in 2014, shortly after he visited Ukraine as vice president to urge increased production of natural gas, his son Hunter joined the board of a Ukrainian natural gas company, and was paid $50,000 a month despite having no discernible expertise
.
But Biden was outraged when he was quizzed about the conflict of interest by reporters in Los Angeles last week: “I’m not going to respond to that. Let’s focus on the problem. Focus on this man, what he’s doing that no president has ever done.”

Classic projection.
Or take House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, caught fibbing to “Morning Joe” two weeks ago over Trump’s call to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky: “We have not spoken directly with the whistleblower.”

Turns out Schiff knew about the whistleblower’s concerns days before the complaint was filed about Trump’s not-so-perfect call. One of his staffers even advised the whistleblower, according to the New York Times.

Yet Schiff is the guy who spent the past two years accusing Trump of “deception” and “collusion.”
“When accusing others of lying, best not to misrepresent facts yourself,” he tweeted last year.
