A Senior White House Official Defines the Trump Doctrine: ‘We’re America, Bitch’

Damn straight! Tired of unequal trade. Tired of illegal immigration. Tired of defending our weak Allies. Tired of high taxes. Tired of crappy public education. I could go on. Nevertheless, it's time to make America great again by transforming the country into a Nationalist nation. We’re America so "take it or leave it”.

The best distillation of the Trump Doctrine I heard, though, came from a senior White House official with direct access to the president and his thinking. I was talking to this person several weeks ago, and I said, by way of introduction, that I thought it might perhaps be too early to discern a definitive Trump Doctrine.

“No,” the official said. “There’s definitely a Trump Doctrine.”

“What is it?” I asked. Here is the answer I received:

“The Trump Doctrine is ‘We’re America, Bitch.’ That’s the Trump Doctrine.”

Any clue who this "senior White House official" really is? His barber or the guy that dumps the trash cans? :)

Tell that to Biden I hear he's still pretending to run in 2020. Ask him about his family's venture in China & especially Ukraine.

Biden isn't in office. Did you not get the memo?
 
We did- only the ignorant won't see it. I'm not doing your work for you.
 
Who among these politicians has clean hands? Congressmen are allowed to engage in the same insider trading practices that they put Martha Stewart in prison for. Nancy Pelosi's family has made millions from her political dealings. Both the Clinton's and Obama's have done very well off their political contacts.

Years ago there was a new highway planned for somewhere in Tennessee (as I recall). No one knew about it beyond Congressmen and their staffs. Apparently several Congressmen bought up land along the route, paying market value, but not disclosing that a highway would run through there, which would drive up land prices. The Congressmen turned around and made some nice profits. The former land owners complained; the House ethics committee said what the Congressmen did was "ethical" because they did pay for the land, and so long as everyone made some money on the deal, not just Congressmen, it was OK.

I know one local school board member whose only interest in the school district is to steer contracts to his extended family, who have businesses set up to deal with the types of contracts the school district most generally lets out. Not surprisingly, they win a lot of those contracts with the lowest bid, although the bids are supposed to be sealed. Later, they can find ways to modify the contracts to make them more profitable.

Get real people; this is how America works. I wouldn't be in the least surprised if Donald Trump and family make a lot off the presidency. I'd be very surprised if he didn't. Why should he be any different than his predecessors? Maybe the Russians will pay him as much as they did the Clinton's for a speech.

Trump is atempting to even the playing field and if & when he accomplishes that, he will be able to produce his
merchandise here. Of course he has his good made elsewhere under the unfair conditions established by
50 years of globalist policies everybody with any sense does under current conditions which he is trying to
change! Even you ought to have realized that!

Yes, because we all know it's impossible to manufacture anything America today, and 100% of the goods we have here were manufactured overseas.

Nice effort to excuse the President's blatant hypocrisy. Do you enjoy being taken for a stooge?

Wow. Right up there with:


"We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor."
