Christie Says He's Not Sure Trump Will Seek Second Term in 2020

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie said he’d back Donald Trump again if he runs for a second term, but he isn’t sure the president would want another four years in the White House.

“If he runs again I would support him, yes, but I’m not so sure what would happen,” Christie said during an interview Friday on NBC’s "Today" show. “Four years is a long time, and especially for someone who has not spent a lifetime in politics, so I think those years affect him differently, so I’m sure the president will make whatever decision is best for him and his family and the country.”

Trump has already begun raising money for a re-election campaign.....

He campaigned with a lot of swagger. But his first nine months in office have been defined by indecision, vacillation, and a reluctance to call shots.

Who Knew Trump Would Be a Wuss?

At his rallies, presidential candidate Donald Trump excited his most avid supporters through displays of toughness: his calls when a demonstrator acted up to “get him out of here”; his incantations of his reality show signature “You’re fired”; his promises of robust actions on “Day One.” He promised his ecstatic followers that he’d tear up trade treaties and the Iran nuclear deal. He’d force other countries to renegotiate and he’d be tough in his dealings with them, just as he’d been in business. And he’d show those so-called NATO allies that the U.S. wasn’t committed to defending them—no more of the wishy-washy deference to other nations that Barack Obama had displayed for eight years. Also, on that busy Day One, he’d have a replacement for Obamacare ready for Congress to enact immediately. He’d pick the very best people but wouldn’t hesitate to get rid of someone who wasn’t up to the job. Above all, he’d be decisive, no vacillating figurehead. He’d be a man of action, tough and strong.

And then …

Grump is going down and he doesn't gave a shit if he takes us with him

Grump is going to deliver on every one of his campaign promises – even if he ruins America in the process

In the space of just two days, Grump took steps to sabotage Obamacare and the nuclear deal with Iran. If either leads to disaster, the blame will all be on him

Trump is failing and the White House is working overtime to cover it up

Republicans increasingly restless at President's failure to translate goals into policy wins

President Donald Trump cannot fail. President Trump can only be failed. Trump and his allies tell us so. He can only be failed - by the filibuster (never mind that no GOP repeal bill got 50 Senate votes); by the “Fake News” media, which fails to honestly report on his smashing successes; and even by Republican congressional leaders, who have let the Russia probes get out of hand and secretly oppose his agenda.

The Washington Post and The Washington Examiner have remarkable stories on Thursday morning that portray the Republican Party as gripped by an internal war of recriminations over the fact that Trump has not signed any major accomplishments.

We need to take a break 

We've got a case of chronic Trump fatigue!

Stirring up the media just in case, God forbid, you'd forget about this fat ass over the weekend!

Trump smiles, winks when asked about ‘calm before the storm’ remark

Trump drops ominous ‘calm before the storm’ line while posing with military leaders

President Trump grinned and winked on Friday when asked to explain his comment the night before that the US could be in “the calm before the storm.”

“You’ll find out,” Trump said at a White House event, repeating the answer he gave Thursday night when asked the same question as he posed with military brass at the White House...
