Lou Dobbs: Trump Should ‘Connect Back’ | Talking Points Memo

Fox Business Network host Lou Dobbs, one of President Donald Trump’s biggest cable news cheerleaders, appears to be concerned with the GOP blowback the President received for his abrupt move to pull U.S. troops from Turkey’s border in northeastern Syria.


This is a companion discussion topic for the original entry at https://talkingpointsmemo.com/?p=1254512

More evidence that Republicans are edging away from Trump…can you imagine hearing this kind of thing a year ago? I doubt they will fully separate, just because they fear the racists Trump has woken up and don’t think they can win elections without them. It’s a dripping faucet though, if Trump continues to go down things will really start to flow.

It’s time for this President, and I salute him, to connect back with the people who put him in this White House: the American people,”

Sure, sure, sure…connect back to the 66+M Trump voters (mind you, that excludes the rest of Americans voters) thus…

Trump can CON the Non-1% Trump voters so that he could give tax cuts to the 1% Trump voters again!

The Repubs are trying to whistle for their dog, but after so much time off leash, he may have forgotten how to heel.

Trump should defect, not connect.

“He is the President,” Dobbs said. “He has the power to shut down the nonsense whether it’s emanating from the DHS, from within his own White House and his own advisers.”

So what new nonsense is emanating from the DHS? And those that are left in WH are all “yes sir, right away sir”.

And Lou who are those “Middle Americans” that you want him to speak to? The ones that will see their buying power diminish? The ones that are getting higher premiums and deductibles on their medical insurance?

We used to call that shit “mid-life crisis”. Now I think its become “late-life crisis” for some of these goons.

“Dobbs added that he “sees more corporate CEOs parading out of that White House than I ever thought possible under this President.””

Proving Dobbs is possessed of all the foresight, prescience, rational thought and awareness of his surroundings as a slightly dehydrated amoeba.

‘Dobbs added that he “sees more corporate CEOs parading out of that White House than I ever thought possible under this President.”’

The age-old question: Is Dobbs stupid enough to actually be surprised by the service that CEOs are getting?

Or does he expect his viewers to be stupid enough to be surprised by it, and to believe his faux surprise?

"That’s who his people are.”

Trump’s people are never too far from some very creative accountants.

Btw, isn’t Dobbs a millionaire? Its always ridiculous to see some wealthy pundit dish out advice on how to relate or appeal to the middle-class. All I’ve ever seen is that Dobbs’ idea of connecting to the middle-class is to appeal to their racism and hatred of all Mexicans.

I’m gonna fwow up.

Connect back, with, you know, Mr. and Mrs. America who live on streets all over this country in middle class neighborhoods and neighborhoods that aspire to be middle class. That’s who his people are.”

Dobbs the millionaire uses illegal Mexican immigrants to care for the horses that his equestrian daughter rides, and that is one ridiculously expensive hobby that only rich men’s daughters, and the occasional rich man’s wife Ann Romney, pursue including Bloomberg, Springsteen, etc

Dobbs then called on Trump to “connect back” with the middle class

People worship Trump because he creates chaos that they hope will destroy government (the government is the enemy–everything they do is incompetent and wasteful), because he disses the media, the educated, liberals, and even middle of the road Republicans because they espouse things like big government programs, income redistribution, equal rights, immigration, etc, and because he is unfiltered and uncouth (he speaks the truth, even when he lies). They oppose all attempts to use government to solve problems like health care and wealth inequality even when they themselves are recipients of government largess.
