Dan Rather Just Called Donald Trump A ‘Loser’
Legendary journalist Dan Rather blasted Donald Trump for his failure to pass the Republican Obamacare repeal bill out of the House on Thursday.
Here is what Dan Rather had to say about Donald Trump’s recent failure:
And in his criticism of Trump, Rather used one of the Donald’s favorite words: “loser.”
“That’s a word that Donald Trump fears being called more than any other. It is a word that he has wielded with relish against his enemies. But if the health care bill goes down in defeat, and at this point that is still a big if, Mr. Trump will be seen as a loser, and so will his new cheerleader Speaker of the House Paul Ryan,” Rather wrote.
“A loser president. It’s a moniker that every president dreads, but especially President Trump. It strikes at the very essence of his being,” wrote Rather.
“It is why he rails away at conspiracy theories about voter fraud. Once you are seen as a loser in Washington your enemies are emboldened and your allies become skittish. Power can evaporate faster than dew in Dalhart,” Rather continued.
Mr. Rather’s post also said, “When you look back at the history of the modern presidency, the most accomplished denizens of the Oval Office came in with bold agendas that they quickly put in place. Look at Ronald Reagan and Barack Obama, in particular. It must vex Mr. Trump no end to see the accomplishments of his predecessor used as a measuring stick for his own failures.”
Rather continued, “We are in a cauldron of chaos and confusion bordering on havoc. We have thousands of key posts in the Federal Government yet unfilled, and we see an administration struggling to get much if anything done.”
“The struggles with the Republicans in Congress to formulate a coherent governing strategy shows how hollow their rhetoric was during the Obama years. They became the Party of No and not the party of ideas. Many of the best conservative thinkers have bemoaned that trend. Their concerns are now bearing bitter fruit,” the post continued before warning that a cornered, unpredictable president could end up being the worst news for the country.
“Meanwhile, the specter of Russia is a shadow that grows ever darker over the White House. An isolated president in an isolated administration looking at public losses and dropping popularity will react in ways no one can predict,” Rather said.
