He has had to suck harder than ever on his Fox News pacifier, but even that symbol of solace is <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=42970\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">leaving a bad taste in his mouth<\/a><\/strong>. Unfortunately for Trump, he doesn&#8217;t have many other sources of soothful ego stroking left. Breitbart and One America News Network (OANN) just aren&#8217;t cutting it. And his Republican colleagues in Congress are <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/growing-number-of-republicans-struggle-to-defend-trump-on-g-7-choice-ukraine-and-syria\/2019\/10\/18\/20e56612-f1b8-11e9-89eb-ec56cd414732_story.html\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">beginning to step away<\/a><\/strong> from his increasingly cringeworthy behaviors.<\/p>\n<p>Consequently, Trump is forced to find comfort wherever he can. For example, on Saturday morning the forlorn President tweeted his appreciation to Republican congressman Tom McClintock who had just completed an interview with Neil Cavuto on Fox News <em>(video below)<\/em>. But the brief segment was not all happy news for Trump.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RepMcClintock?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@RepMcClintock<\/a>  Thank you Tom.

He regurgitated the standard GOP talking points about the process not permitting Republicans the same authorities that Democrats have. Of course it&#8217;s routine in Congress for the majority to control the proceedings. What McClintock is asking for is to have the same power as the majority Democrats. When did Republicans ever offer that to Democrats when they were the majority? Even the senior legal analyst at Fox News, Andrew Napolitano, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsweek.com\/fox-news-judge-shuts-down-republicans-impeachment-complaint-1465960\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">shot down<\/a><\/strong> these GOP talking points.<\/p>\n<p>Following that canned opinionating, Cavuto asked McClintock about some of Trump&#8217;s recent self- made problems, including Syria, Ukraine, and his G7\/Doral debacle. Cavuto characterized these fiascos as <em>&#8220;embarrassing, morally repugnant incidents.&#8221;<\/em> And McClintock agreed saying that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;There&#8217;s an old saying that &#8216;There are many things that might be legal, but still don&#8217;t look good on the front page of the newspaper.&#8217; [Trump] is a man who&#8217;s never had an un-tweeted thought, and on occasion I think that gets him into a great deal of trouble. I do wish he&#8217;d be more careful in his choice of words, more presidential in his bearing, and more sunny in his disposition.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So this interviewed wrapped up with Trump&#8217;s surrogate essentially saying that the President is an inarticulate baboon whose demeanor is a downer. And for that Trumped thanked him on Twitter. At least that was better than <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2019\/10\/18\/mitt-romney-donald-trump-coup-050425\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Mitt Romney saying<\/a><\/strong> that Trump&#8217;s Syria policy is <em>&#8220;so weak and so inept.&#8221;<\/em> And it&#8217;s better than <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/media\/466344-fox-news-legal-analyst-calls-trump-move-to-host-g-7-at-doral-resort-direct-and\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Fox&#8217;s Judge Napolitano saying<\/a><\/strong> that Trump&#8217;s G7\/Doral scheme is a <em>&#8220;direct and profound violation&#8221;<\/em> of the Constitution.
