[QUOTE="BrownArmy, post: 3729626, member: 18225"] No, not at all, work was surprisingly smooth today...it’s been hell on wheels with college move-in, but it’s ebbing. I just wonder, does Trump legitimately believe that the PR response was A+, or is this a situation where his advisors keep the bad news from him and he exists in a FOX & FRIENDS / Hannity bubble and doesn’t have a clue? He’s not a dumb man, so I think this is more of Trump following his mentor Roy Cohn’s playbook: Deny, deny, deny, lie, lie, lie, repeat. Muddy the waters, 2+2=5, confuse your detractors to such an extent that eventually your message will prevail. It’s bizarre to me. Think about it this way - when FEMA released their action report about what went wrong with their Hurricane Maria response in PR (plenty), Trump could have said this: “Well, that was the biggest Hurricane ever, plus it was an island, their infrastructure was crap to begin with, what a mess, we tried our best but we were stretched thin that summer with all the disasters, you know how it is. But we learned a lot and next time will be better”... Or something similiar. All that’s basically true, and that’s a response the American public would have accepted. Instead, he’s ranting about the dems...it’s just weird. [/QUOTE]
