RUSH: There are constant pressures on President Trump to change. You know it and I know it. We had a caller in the last half hour — well, within the last 30 minutes actually, who was a conservative running a nonprofit environmental foundation and very concerned that Trump needed to change very quickly. The Republicans need to change very quickly on the environment and stop poisoning the water, putting arsenic in it via coal dust.
There are all kinds of people suggesting that Trump needs to stop tweeting, that Trump needs to stop talking about everybody who talks about him, that he’s gotta learn just

I think he could eliminate the cuss words at the rallies; i see no upside but a little potential downside.
I am loathe to urge lessening any of responses nor any attacks since no one knows at what point unresponded to attacks take hold.
The attacks are made to do damage. They must be defended against and preemptive attacks are part of the defensive arsenal.

I find it hard to believe that a conservative runs a non-profit environmental foundation. Further, I doubt Peggy Noonan will ever support Donald Trump. She's lived in NYC and socialized with liberals so long that she's become one. Further, just today, her column in the WSJ described Trump as "mental." Nothing he does (short of dying) will get her to say anything positive about him.

This is like the person who marries another, then decides that there are just a FEW little things that person needs to change.
PDJT was elected for who is is. As is. No alterations, no little rolling tweaks by the behavior nannies, none, nada. Stick with the big stuff, folks. The nitpicking is unseemly and plays right into the hands of our enemies - the #NeverTrumpers, the Uniparty, the Dems, and the state media. Are we really dumb enough to do that?
No one made Conrad Black God. And if you read more about him, you will find that, in his sort of genteel way, he is very very much like PDJT.

PS. When Black starts this sort of Romneying, he becomes what he is: A foreigner. This is none of his damn business.

Black's one of the good guys, but we saw with W, and every Republican before and after him, what bending over and grabbing the ankles in the name of "civility" and "bipartisanship" gets you. Trump is the first Republican who plays by Democrat rules, and they don't like it. "He fights" may be a derisive pejorative to the lads at NR, but not to us.
Stay the course.

PS#2. Rush believes Black succumbed to outside New York cocktail party denizen pressure. If he is that much of a squish, I am turning in my I Love Conrad Black badge and henceforth will call him a Canadian snob. And a weak-kneed one to boot. (Peggy Noonan - good Lord! Who cares what that old sot thinks?)

President Trump gave a full pardon to a longtime friend who last year wrote a glowing book about Trump’s successes.
Conrad Black was convicted in 2007 on fraud charges, including alleged embezzlement, and obstruction of justice. He served more than three years in prison and was deported to his native Canada after he was released in 2012. He was barred from returning to the United States for 30 years.(Snip)
On the first page of that book, “Donald J. Trump: A President Like No Other,” Black writes: “Like the country he represents, Donald Trump possesses the optimism to persevere and succeed, the confidence to affront tradition and convention, a genius for spectacle, and a firm belief in common sense and the common man.”

Never mind that this came from the WaPo. That quote from the first page of Black’s book was written by or for Black.

Agree with OP. Too often it’s more juvenile than presidential. It also gives attention to those who should just be ignored.

If the election is about the Democrats, they lose. If the election is about Trump, he loses. His base isn't large enough to win. He needs suburbanites, especially women, and independents, but has a knack for stepping on the message at precisely the wrong time: Kavanaugh could have carried the House for Rs, but Trump drowned the message to the middle with a focus on immigration for the base. I like having an undisciplined arrogant narcissist with great policies as President, but could use a little less undiscipline. The Democrat press has a field day every time he tweets. If he just shuts up, he wins.

We are all called upon to modify our behavior in our professional lives. The stakes are high and the voter base insufficient. It is NOT too much to ask.

The 2016 election was all about Trump, against an opponent who was considered the all-but-certain winner. He didn't do too badly. If anything, he's more popular and battle-tested now, and he'll be facing a joke opponent, no matter who it is.

Sorry to say, but Conrad is correct. And Rush is wrong, I listened to Rush's defense of the tweets yesterday. Trump, the candidate, won last election with tweets, yes, by using funny nicknames for opponents that voters could live with during that contest. Its not like his last election, the constant media beat-down has taken its toll. If Trump doesn't stop the pettiness on irrelevant people, we/he will lose. It might even be too late. He will be the LAST Republican President. I'm in Placer County CA - one of the last Republican Districts, Tom McClintock is my Congressman. I wear my Trump gear frequently in public. Its very different now, I'm often confronted with EXTREME argumentative people going out of their way to express their hatred of the President. So Sad.

Leave the President alone. His tweets cut through the fog of PC rubbish emanating from the DC swamp The tweets are his way of communicating with us, we the people who voted for him. Don;t go all snobby and hoity toity because you think that is not presidential. We finally have a President who can stand tall on his policy successes, who takes no money for his labors on our behalf, who puts America first and is not afraid to bring God into the conversation. There are more than enough dogs biting at his heels on a daily basis, don't be one of them, just be thankful.

Pls correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t recall Peggy or Conrad or Bugs or Wile E. begging W to say something when he went silent for years, while the media and Dims ate his lunch. And now, all of a sudden, we’re trying to give advice to the best President in my lifetime, including a Reagan??
Give me a break.

Like #19, I heard the caller. She was long-winded, didn't get to the point, and couldn't give an example of a tweet that was offensive. She sounded fake, and I was surprised Rush gave her as much time as he did. Either Rush is slipping, or he knew she was a fake and just used her call to defend Trump's tweets

The caller was a fake and Rush knew it. You could tell by his tone and his remarks afterward.
Plus, she was too obviously stupid to be a conservative.

'ask' is a verb, not a noun.
A "conservative" who runs a nonprofit environmental foundation? And we are "poisoning the water, putting arsenic in it via coal dust".....I call BS. This is ALREADY ILLEGAL, has been for decades, I don't buy it.
Drop dead, crazies.

My wife married me for who I am and for the promise I made. If she asked me to change on the 3rd anniversary, it will change the whole dynamics of our relationship. And I think it's the same with Pres. Trump.
Stay the course and DON'T CHANGE to appease the pompous minority!

Your son is running for city council. His campaign manager advises him to “be just like Trump. Call your opponent names, belittle the press, tweet daily taunts about the opposition campaign. People love that stuff! Think I am kidding? Read Lucianne!” A good idea, Mom or Dad?

Black should stick to professorial research and exegesis. Pastoral robes do not fit his frame. Besides, I voted for Trump for president, NOT for pope.

I voted for Trump believing that I knew what I was getting. I was wrong. Trump is light years better than anything I could have hoped for.
The fact that he drives liberals and never Trumpers absolutely bat guano crazy is a bonus. Yes, there are the occasional cringe worthy tweets and yes, he occasionaly mangles the English language. But I can live with that for a Reagan on steroids.

This isn't a simple ask: I would like Trump to stop personally attacking people with his silly, juvenile nicknames. BUT, he should continue to tweet about the media lies and about those who slander him. He has no filter on this matter. To him it's black and white, not nuanced. I agree with Black.
