A Communist Advises Trump
Timothy Birdnow
Yeah - Trump should listen to the free, unsolicited advise from an avowed Marxist Democrat in the media...
Van Jones Warns Trump Making Mistake By Calling Everything Fantastic
Actually I agree insofar as it makes Trump seem out of touch with Middle America. But if he doesn't toot his own horn who will? The media will give him zero credit for all the good coming out of his policies. And the economy is doing pretty well despite what the media is hyping to make it appear Trump is screwing up big time.
FTA:
A valid point that last, but what Van Jones wants is Trump to start stepping back and going on the defensive - something that will not work for him and Van Jones knows it, which is why he's encouraging Trump to start handwringing and sniveling.
Such behavior would be an admission of inadequacy and Trump's appeal is his competence.
At any rate I would be reluctant to take the adivice of a bitter enemy. Naturally Trump won't but many in the GOP will and they are likely to start pushing back against Trump to "protect themselves". They forget Saul Alinsky's admonition "if you push a negative long and hard enough it can break through and become a positive". Democrats rarely make this mistake even though their whole program relies on fooling the public; Republicans always fail at this.

CNN political commentator Van Jones said Wednesday that President Donald Trump risks alienating key voting blocs.
Trump spoke to the nation in a live, prime-time address from the White House, centering his remarks on economic conditions. During a panel on "The Source With Kaitlan Collins,” the host asked whether the president demonstrated empathy during his remarks.
"No, I just think it’s a mistake, and, listen, if he stays there, Democrats [are] gonna have a great year. He’s gonna have to move off of that because right now he just says everything’s fantastic,” Jones told Collins.
"If it’s not fantastic [then] blame Biden. That’s not gonna work. And I think the other thing I think it’s gonna be important for people to keep in mind, you have a bunch of young people who bet on Donald Trump,” Jones added. "They graduated off a cliff into an economy where there is no hope for them. He’s not talking to them.”
Jones said the disconnect risks turning early support into frustration
