Oh no! Trump told a rally on his "Thank You" tour that he isn't really interested in locking Hillary up. Shut it down!
The media is of course gloating about this betrayal of the base, from twitter to the MSM.
Good. Let them sell us the rope.
The left makes three fundamental errors regarding both Trump and the presidency:
1. The president is the boss of all branches of government. This is what they believe. This is why they saw no legal barrier (they never had a moral one) to Obama doing whatever he wanted, and why their concern about Republican presidents is always one of fear of the always assumed dictatorial powers now in the hands of the enemy.
2. That Trump (and his followers) are complete idiots.
3. That they cannot help themselves at biting at bait regarding the above. Trump already trolled them with the flag protection proposal.
Do you really think there's nothing more going on here than Trump dismissing a huge part of his base's enthusiasm at his own victory tour? Or is Trump, a man with a lifetime of playing with the media and two years of being the undisputed master of it, doing something more?
Here's what I see:
- Trump, contrary to how Democrats picture it, personally has no legal authority to go after Hillary as president. That is up to Congress to investigate, the FBI to investigate, and for the AG (Sessions, aka not-a-cuck) to prosecute. Trump has leverage over all these groups to differing and greater or lesser degrees, but they are all officially independent in their investigations and conclusions.
- So Trump says he's not interesting in doing something now that, as president, wasn't his job anyway. And the media, convinced Trump is an idiot and unable to resist trying to blackpill those of us on the train, are busy writing articles about how Trump has no intention of hitting Hillary now. They are producing a paper trail alibi for Trump and they don't even notice.
- If Congress, the FBI, and the AG cannot for whatever reason get Hillary, Trump shrugs and says that's in the past and he's said so for months that he has more important things to do. This is, technically, true. Wall & Deportations > Clinton, every time. It's also true because again, going after Hillary wasn't something the president is supposed to do.
- If (we hope and pray and believe there will be), there is an indictment, then the MSM will gear up to paint the whole thing as a politically motivated hitjob... and the Trump administration will have phonebooks worth of documentation from the exact same members of the press, gloating that president-elect Trump has no such intentions whatsoever.
Progressives, BTFO. We will never get tired of winning.
Throw in the fact that right now, Obama has to weigh the public optics of a pardon against the risk of it being needed. No sense in being seen to throw out the smoking gun if no investigation is forthcoming anyway. This is especially true if Obama wants to try and play the Washington elder statesman role rather than pissing off to Hawaii like he should.
Trump is all about violating his enemy's expectations. He railed in the campaign about this, particularly regarding ISIS and Obama's administration releasing military schedules, but it was a general theme and has been all of Trump's life. Trump is giving his enemies nothing to work with, while making them work for him.
No blackpills, fam. When and only when Trump actually starts implementing a cuck policy is it time to fire the broadside. I know we're not used to having a leader who smiles and assures our enemies while he prepares the kidney shiv (something the other side does often and well - DOMA, DADT...), but I truly believe we have such a man now. Give him the opportunity to work the magic.
