<\/p>\nRUSH: Kevin in St. Louis. Great to have you, Kevin. Thank you for calling.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Hey, Rush. Thanks for taking my call.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Thanks for all you do too. You really are the first person that\u2019s making America great again.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Wow. Thank you.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
CALLER: Donald Trump knew that he was gonna be attacked, and I really think that he\u2019s prepared for this Russia collusion whatnot. I think he knows… You know, he knew it was gonna happen. And I think at the end of the day, they\u2019re not gonna be able to find anything on him and nothing\u2019s gonna happen to him.<\/p>\n
RUSH: You know, this is actually a good point. I know a lot of people may think that Trump was — at the beginning of this — blindsided by it and may think that he has remained off balance since because of it and may not know quite how to deal with it. But I think you\u2019re exactly right. I think Trump knew from before he was elected that they were pulling these kinds of stunts.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yes.<\/p>\n
RUSH: And I think shortly after he was elected and the transition… I mean, he knew that they were gonna come after him. He\u2019s not sitting there insulated to the degree that… He knows what the media\u2019s doing. He\u2019s the one that applied “fake news” to \u2019em. So, yeah, that\u2019s a good point. He knows what they\u2019re doing and therefore you are thinking he\u2019s got to have some kind of a plan to deal with this, at least how to endure it day to day and still say focused on his agenda and job, right?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yeah, I do, and I think realistically, too… I think he\u2019s got information on Hillary and the Democrats that he could, you know, pull out if they, you know, try to bring anything on him. So, you know, I really think he\u2019s fully prepared for whatever they\u2019re gonna try to do.<\/p>\n
RUSH: That really is a good point. The media, I think, probably report all of this stuff during the day with the… They try to convey the assumption that Trump is being blindsided each and every day, that Trump\u2019s off balance and Trump doesn\u2019t know what\u2019s happening and Trump\u2019s befuddled and so forth. Trump, by the way, tweeted… Let\u2019s see. This is this morning, and I\u2019m glad he does this. You know, people complain about his tweets, but he tweeted this. “The new Fake News narrative is that there is CHAOS in the White House. Wrong!<\/p>\n
“People will always come & go, and I want strong dialogue before making a final decision. I still have some people that I want to change (always seeking perfection). There is no Chaos, only great Energy!” So if it weren\u2019t for Trump, there wouldn\u2019t be any official response to this. Last Thursday and Friday, that\u2019s all the news was. Yesterday it was Nunberg. Thursday and Friday, “Chaos in the White House! Trump out of control, isolated, doesn\u2019t know what\u2019s happening, doesn\u2019t know who\u2019s coming for him,” and I think Kevin here has got it exactly right. It\u2019s the exact opposite that\u2019s true.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
