Rush Limbaugh Defends The Trumpsters My Nuclear Button is Bigger than Yours Strategy

Of course, he did. According to Rush, Trump is a brilliant strategist, fighting lunacy with lunacy and leaving Kim Jong-un confused and disoriented. Which is just what we want for a dictator with nuclear capabilities.

Including our own.

During his show on Tuesday, Rush declared:

“Trump’s brilliant. He knows who he’s dealing with and how to reach them. And if you’re dealing with lunatics and if you’re dealing with the insane, throw it back at ’em. You know, throw a little unpredictability and lunaticism back at them. And it discombobulates ’em — and in fact it is. Kim Jong-un is confused. Kim Jong-un doesn’t know how to deal with Trump.”

It’s hard to keep up with the daily crazy, which I believe is a feature, not a bug. How better to keep the public from reacting to re-opening all continental waters to off-shore drilling. Because we’ve all gotten over the Deepwater Horizon disaster; too bad the Gulf hasn’t. Or Session reneging on the burgeoning pot industry or one more DOJ investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails because Eye of the Newt says these departments must be obedient or the Electoral Fraud Commission being disbanded but the data collected being turned over to ICE, etc., etc

Our last 24 hours has been totally consumed by Michael Wolff’s tell-all book detailing West Wing shenanigans. The book will be released tomorrow, four days early. Timing is everything! Who knows what’s been percolating behind the scenes? Maybe the fact Pakistan is turning to China since Trump has called for pulling any and all security funding to the country. Who needs ‘em right? It’s America First. America Alone. America Isolated in the Trumpster’s paranoia. If you don’t hop on the Trump train you won’t be invited to the party. As many UN members found out last week.

Rush refers to the Trumpster’s posture towards North Korea situation as the Madman’s Theory of foreign policy. David Frum has keyed it as foreign policy for three-year olds. I favor the latter description although it could be foreign policy for the forever distracted. Which could prove lethal not only to the Oval Office but the world itself. Then even a Rush Limbaugh echo chamber would be obliterated, forever silenced.

Oh, happy days! 2018 is off to a rip-roaring start.
