... President Donald Trump is ... taking heat from his avid supporters....I'm reminded of Joe Scarborough's reaction to Trump's meeting with Mexico's president back in September:
His crime?
Calling Islam “one of the world’s great faiths.”
That double hit — ducking [the phrase] “[radical] Islamic terrorism” while praising the religion — was not received very well on Twitter....
@trawetsla Trump is the true meaning of an egomaniacal narcissistic power hungry cuck who wants total control

....
@PaulVandenburgh Why didnt he say Radica Islamic Terrorism? Not once. Says Islam is a great faith - he has been neutered.

On "Morning Joe," the host said Trump's refusal to press [President Enrique] Peña Nieto in person about funding a border wall between the US and Mexico demonstrated Trump's lack of confidence as a leader.
"If that's the center of your campaign, how do you not get the job done when you're there?" Scarborough said.
He added: "He had the guy in front of him and he choked. He choked! I can't stand people who choke under pressure."
What happened to the tough guy all these Trump voters thought they were electing? The two-fisted, doesn't-back-down "blue-collar billionaire"?
But it occurs to me that one of the best-known songs about standing up to an adversary -- a classic to many people in Trump Country -- is actually about not having the nerve to stand up.
I'd give the shirt right off of my backThat's Trump -- he acts as if he's ready to tell his enemies where to get off and his fans don't even realize that as soon as they're face to face, he'll back down.
If I had the guts to say
Take this job and shove it
I ain't working here no more....
*****
UPDATE I cut the tweet from Vic Berger IV. I'm informed that he's an anti-Trump mocker.
