Taking A Page From The Other Side...

[PoliticalChic]

Just because of disagreements with one's opponents' principles or desires doesn't mean that they may not have some good ideas.

After 9/11 we didn't stop using Arabic numerals.....: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9.

This would be a good time for Trump to pick up something Franklin Roosevelt laid down: Fireside Chats.


A week ago was the anniversary of FDR's first one....he delivered his first fireside chat, on the banking crisis, eight days after taking office (March 12, 1933).


There were some 30 of 'em.....none even an hour long.



Trump was excellent at his rallys, and he was a TV star before he was President.....so, now's the time.



What are the chances the DNC's allies at the networks wouldn't allocate the time.
Pretty darn good.

Roosevelt wasn't an arrogant ass hole.

FDR was far more arrogant and anal than Trump on his worse day.

LOL. Given what I saw last Wednesday night and the minimal amount of time they've let him talk over the last few days, letting him riff a fireside chat probably isn't the best idea. While it would suit his propensity for going off script, he'd completely lay the economy, the public confidence, and what remains of the Republican party's chances of salvaging any victory come November to absolute waste.

Not sure how that would work these days, as people's attention spans are generally shorter than they were back then.

President Trump made good use of the internet with his succinct messages delivered by way of Twitter, and I have a feeling FDR would have used that if they had internet back then.

 

[Gdjjr]

At his age changing his personality would be a mistake he may not have time to recover from.

Did President Trump start rounding up those of foreign descent to be shipped to the internment camps or something?

I must have missed that.

I think it's a great idea! Trump's antics on stage play really well to his base. They don't to the rest of the country...

Absolutely put him on TV more often. Teleprompter Don or off script Don? Both are weird in their own way.

Let's try it, and see.


So far he's done a better job at every single endeavor than the Muslim former-President.....unlike whom he hasn't produced the slowest recovery in history, told illegal aliens to go and vote, nor guaranteed nuclear weapons to the world's worst state sponsor of terrorism.

Nor has he prevented law enforcement from arresting Hezbollah from selling cocaine and using the money for IEDs to maim Americans.

I've seen how audiences react to him at rallys......he should go for it.

Why would he have to change his personality?

It got him elected.

So you agree with the OP.

Excellent.

FDR and his lesbo commie wife looked up to Stalin as a role model and thought the USSR was the cat's meow of countries. ...

It stemmed from FDR's hatred of those successful in business....something he never could accomplish.

The same is still true of many Democrats/Liberals.

So why shouldn't he be arrogant? You progressives have a long history of that, should he be like every other milquetoast Republican and just let you run all over him?

That's one of the reasons he has 97% approval among Republicans, you know.

Definitely one of the funnier "ideas" I've seen in a while.

Sounds like something from The Onion.
