When you expose the establishment like Trump has, you best have a good plan, sad but true. I'm sure he does.......
And thank you President Trump.
Yes, he was very naive.
Politics is a very dirty business.
You are expected to play ball with the Establishment or suffer the consequences.
At this very minute, vicious Dems (like that so-called Attorney General of New York state) are preparing indictment papers to serve him on January 20, the second that the Establishment candidate takes the oath of office.
The Donald did not know how to play the game. For example, he should have found some way to turn Establishment figures against one another. He should have flattered more Dems ("Oh, Nancy, what is your secret for looking so young?"). He should have kissed some posteriors in the media (especially by attending their Washington Correspondents' dinner where he was expected to laugh at comedians' jokes about himself (Remember how one comedian kidded President Obama about his mostly Caucasian Cabinet? Or how a comedian savaged President Clinton, who sat there and forced a smile? Some people thought he should have walked out). The media consider themselves the fourth branch of government. Don't mess with them.
Perhaps his biggest mistake was his failure to join Nancy in kneeling in the Capitol. If he had done that, maybe even the
New York Times would have fawned over him.
