President Trump, our tax free leader has gone on the attack again to target rich Obamaland with a shrill tweet about being victimized by the former Prez in the form of illegal wiretapping of his campaign. Interesting and hopefully not ironic he mentions Watergate and former Republican President Nixon who was impeached. If I was an advisor to Mr Trump I would at this point be blunt:

" Mr President you can't govern by middle of the night tweets. It is embarrasing and makes you look like a 70 year old man who is grumpy because you have to get up in the middle of the night to take a pee. Do not cast yourself as a whiny victim. You must project strength and confidence. Do not allow yourself to be provoked by insolent reporters. Get them on your side by self deprecation and repartee. Welcome all reporters to the Whitehouse and wear them down with your
serene authority. Fire Sean Spicer. He looks like your weak whiny blustering mini-me and is no match for the likes of Jake Tapper. Fire Kellyanne Conway. She sounds like a defensive prevaricator from some trailer park in Wyoming and is the media's favorite chew toy. Fire Steve Bannon. His omnipresent glowering countenance makes people in your own adopted party nervous because of his extreme dystopian views and is just too creepy.

This Russian connection has to be addressed head on. Avoid the perception you are mounting an unprecedented sensational attack on a former President to distract attention away from the Russian thing. Fire some people, disavow any personal knowledge in a simple statement and move on. Dont get lost in the weeds.
Quietly release your tax returns. The media will pounce but this will distract them away from the Russian scandal and other media red meat. Extoll your virtue as an astute businessman who was savvy enough to legally avoid paying too much in taxes and move on. Your base will back you up. You are the President."

Good Luck.

If President Trump is ALL THAT.....how come Obama lives his brain? I've heard nothing but whining about the last administration from the great leader and his followers. Where are his own thoughts, or does he need Breitbart and Bannon to know where to lead?

When was the last time you had a swirly? I think you're due again! Just sayin.......

eden

Pardon my ignorance but what is a "swirly?"

PeterS

It was just Trumps daily deflection.

archie bunker Loc: Texas

It is when someone puts your head in the toilet, and flushes it.

PeterS

I take it you have experience with it. Delivering or receiving?

archie bunker Loc: Texas

Niether. I have kids. You learn things from them. Maybe you need one too. Or a purple nurple. Or both.

Perhaps you would like him to resign as well?

It will be a rainy day in hell when The Donald will take responsibility for anything!

I try to offer good advice to our president and this my reward?

eden

Actually no. I would just prefer he start acting like an adult and show some class. A lot of people v**ed for him because Hillary was such a poor candidate with an expired use-by date. I would like to see Trump capitalize on his mandate, slim though it was, and get something done about things like tax reform and shrinking the income gap.
It would not hurt to put Russian, Chinese and Iranian adventurism in check too but in a walk softly-and-carry-a-big-stick way. The US does not need to saber rattle or make blustery threats. Hopefully Mr Trumps advisors will be able to prise his fingers away from his twitter account. That will not fix all his problems but it would be a start,

I can't disagree eden.
Being a rough, and tumble kind of guy; I don't mind his ways so much, but he should control the tweeter thing. But then, it may be a strategic thing for him to cut through the garbage. Not sure at this point.
