Obama\u2019s policies, the Democrat Party\u2019s policies have been just repudiated in almost a humiliating way. <\/p>\n
We still have 95 million Americans not in the workforce. The labor force participation rate is still at a near all-time high: 95 million Americans not working, and they tell us there\u2019s an unemployment rate now of 4.6% or 4.8, whatever, which was what it was and Bush left office and they\u2019re trying to say that Obama\u2019s caused this great recovery. Ninty-five million Americans not working. And they cannot make the claim. Their policies have not led to growth in anything other than government. Government has grown big by stealing things from the private sector or by usurping them such as the entire health care industry. So just keep a sharp eye. <\/p>\n
The media\u2019s also writing of their outrage over the frequency with which Donald Trump tweets. Leftists, Democrats, communists alike are all saying that what Trump is doing on Twitter is an outrage. It\u2019s not presidential, it\u2019s beneath the dignity of the office, it\u2019s embarrassing, it\u2019s humiliating, we are becoming a laughingstock. A president who gets up at five in the morning and starts tweeting. <\/p>\n
You know what Trump says about it? Trump sent a tweet out just a little while ago this morning. He said: “If the press would cover me accurately and honorably, I would have far less reason to tweet. Sadly, I don\u2019t know if that\u2019ll ever happen.” He\u2019s exactly right about that. If the press would cover him accurately and honorably, he wouldn\u2019t have to tweet. He\u2019s tweeting to correct the lies and the dishonesty in the Drive-By Media about him. <\/p>\n
We talked to him on this program about three weeks before the election. At that time he was tweeting a lot and reacting to every bit of criticism no matter where it came from. And people on his side, his supporters and supposedly even some in his inner circle were saying publicly that they were trying to get him to stop doing this, that you can\u2019t respond to every bit of criticism, just don\u2019t do it. All you\u2019re doing is elevating it, all you\u2019re doing is amplifying it. Not everybody hears every instance of criticism, Mr. Trump, they were saying, just ignore it, move on. <\/p>\n
So I asked him about it. He said (paraphrasing), “Yeah, you\u2019re right. My advisers are telling me exactly that, Rush, they\u2019re telling me to ignore it. But I can\u2019t. I\u2019m not gonna sit here and let my family be dishonored. I\u2019m not gonna let myself, my family be lied about and I\u2019m not gonna let those lies take root and become established as truth. I don\u2019t care. I don\u2019t care what they say is the right way to do this, I\u2019m not gonna let it happen. When people lie about me, when people wound me, when people attack me, I\u2019m gonna fire right back at \u2019em, I don\u2019t care. And my advisers are trying to get me to stop, and I just can\u2019t.” <\/p>\n
I think this is one of the reasons why Trump\u2019s supporters love him so much, and it\u2019s one of the characteristics that not a lot of people comment on. But people on our side — and by “our side,” I mean, conservatives, some Republicans — admit it, folks, we\u2019ve grown tired and weary of being on defense all the time. We\u2019re tired of getting up every morning and looking at either a person or an idea, something that we hold dear under assault, like marriage, or who can use whatever bathrooms, we\u2019re tired of being on defense, we\u2019re tired having to defend things that shouldn\u2019t need to be defended because they\u2019re under assault. <\/p>\n Well, Trump is not on defense, folks. We are on offense with Donald Trump. And that\u2019s one of the big invisible unspoken reasons why he has such loyalty is because people who support him are just like a lot of you in this audience, fed up with being on defense and being on a team that never fought back, much less went on offense. But these tweets and this erratic or unpredictable behavior keeps Trump\u2019s opponents on defense, and, believe me, it is a delight to see it. <\/p>\n Another thing that Trump is doing with these tweets, he\u2019s leading. And because he\u2019s leading, he\u2019s holding everybody\u2019s attention. What will Trump do next? What will Trump do next? Nobody\u2019s asking, what\u2019s Pelosi gonna do next, what\u2019s Harry Reid? You know, we\u2019re not steeling ourselves for what assault is coming at us next. We\u2019re all looking on eagerly: What\u2019s Trump gonna do next? How\u2019s he gonna bamboozle \u2019em next? How\u2019s Trump gonna end-run \u2019em next? That\u2019s what\u2019s everybody excited about here. <\/p>\n And it\u2019s great to see people like Christiane Amanpour<\/a> or Andrea Mitchell<\/a>, NBC News, Washington, or any of these other Drive-Bys look like old men shouting, “Get off my lawn!” to Donald Trump. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" RUSH: Have you seen those stories yet?
