Can I just tell you, I think Donald Trump is having the time of his life. I think he\u2019s just eating this up. Did you hear what he happened to say when he pardoned the turkeys yesterday? You didn\u2019t hear it? Well, you know, I had the sound bite. I didn\u2019t get to it. (interruption) You\u2019ve got the sound bite? We got it. I was gonna read the transcript. Listen. This is Trump pardoning the two Thanksgiving turkeys. Bread and Butter are the turkeys\u2019 names. This is how he did it.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/M8tgdyNdxCk\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>THE PRESIDENT: Bread and Butter have been specially raised to remain calm under any condition, which will be very important because they\u2019ve already received subpoenas to appear in Adam Schiff\u2019s basement on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>CROWD: (laughter and applause)<\/p>\n<p>THE PRESIDENT: Hundreds of people have. It seems the Democrats are accusing me of being too soft on turkey. But Bread and Butter, I should note that, unlike previous witnesses, you and I have actually met. It\u2019s very unusual. Very unusual.<\/p>\n<p>CROWD: (laughter and applause)<\/p>\n<p>THE PRESIDENT: In any event, I expect this pardon will be very popular with the media. After all, turkeys are closely related to vultures. I don\u2019t know if I like that line, but there is a little truth to it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/realDonaldTrump\/status\/1199718185865535490\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright wp-image-329830\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/TrumpTwitterRocky.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"404\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/TrumpTwitterRocky.png 580w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/TrumpTwitterRocky-223x300.png 223w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>RUSH: I don\u2019t know if I like &#8212; anyway, he\u2019s having the time of his life. He\u2019s down there at the rally in Sunrise last night, he\u2019s throwing out Make America Great Again hats, you got 21,000 people inside, 3,000 people outside in Broward County where Hillary won 60% of the vote in 2016. In Broward County. He was on fire last night. Vice President Pence introduced him.<\/p>\n<p>Today <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/realDonaldTrump\/status\/1199718185865535490\">he\u2019s posting on Twitter Photoshopped pictures of his face on Rocky\u2019s body<\/a> to show that he\u2019s just pummeling the Democrats into submission. You just have to know, he\u2019s created economic records that no one will ever surpass any time soon on the economy. Whether it\u2019s impeachment, the Democrats, Pencil Neck, these are all just tiny little acne pimples and zits that are harassing him, and he\u2019s having fun toying with them.<\/p>\n<p>I really do think, because you can\u2019t fake this. You know, stress is a real thing, and stress affects everybody. And one of the impacts of stress is that you can see it, and he just doesn\u2019t exude being under any stress whatsoever. And I think one of the reasons for it is that he knows there\u2019s not a scintilla, there\u2019s not a shred from the very beginning of this with the Russia collusion business, there isn\u2019t a shred of evidence. There isn\u2019t a shred. All of this has been an exercise in futility.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: This is Thanksgiving. The way I\u2019m looking at, I think things are trending in a very positive direction in a number of ways in the left versus right battle. And I\u2019m not a Pollyanna, and I don\u2019t offer false optimism just for the sake of it. I\u2019m not capable of that anyway. I\u2019m not capable of false optimism, unrealistic optimism.<\/p>\n<p>You look at the indicators out there. And even the left and the media, they\u2019re not able to hide their shocking disappointment that this massive effort, first with Russia collusion and then Kavanaugh, now Ukraine, they are frustrated to all get out they have failed. And particularly the media. The media back in the days of their monopoly, pre-1988, could get rid of anybody they wanted to.<\/p>\n<p>It might have taken them two or three years to get rid of Nixon and it might have taken them seven years to finally get George Bush\u2019s approval numbers down to the thirties. But they were able nevertheless to do it. They can\u2019t now. There\u2019s no way that you can say the media has succeeded. Trump is still in office, and Trump is having a grand time. Trump is living the life. Trump is living the dream. He\u2019s having fun with these people.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t mean to say that he prefers this over not having to deal with this. But at the end of the day they haven\u2019t really laid a glove on him. He\u2019s still able to implement his agenda. His agenda is still working great. They haven\u2019t been able to stop him in any which way they\u2019ve tried. And they haven\u2019t really admitted that until now. And these headlines today are kind of an indication that they\u2019re the ones feeling despondent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: I think he\u2019s just eating this up. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":74,"featured_media":329841,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[12,1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.6 -
