Trump blundered when he threw LTG Flynn under the bus. That was no way to reward loyalty of somebody who was the target of wild, unsubstantiated accusations. Hopefully, Trump has learned his lesson after caving to the character assassins of the left, was well as the RINOS in his own party. The fact that the left is not putting up much of a fight over LTG McMaster's nomination has me concerned. Trump has done well so far, although I see no way that Trumpcare will pass Congress, unless a number of Democrats climb on the bandwagon - and if that happens, it should be a red flag for everybody who expected Trump to actually repeal Obamacare.

Politics is rough and tumble business, and both sides seek to deliver body blows early and often in a new Presidency, hoping for a knockout later on. This truth does not have any bearing upon President Trump's need, in my view, to be far more discerning in his use of Twitter. Again, it is understandable that he wants an unfiltered way to get his message out to his supporters; however, he is the leader of the free world.
