Case one:

The Golden State Warriors won the NBA championship, and in accord with tradition were invited to the White House. However, because the President is Donald Trump the Warriors chose not to go. The leader of the boycott, star player Stephen Curry, publically remarked, "In February, after Under Armour’s CEO Kevin Plank declared Trump “an asset” to the country, Warriors point guard Steph Curry, an Under Armour spokesman, didn’t mince words: “I agree with that description,” he said. “If you remove the ‘et’ from asset.”"

Given the disrespectful conduct of the Curry and the Warriors President Trump withdrew the invitiation.

So who is to blame here: "Donald Trump threw a hissy fit and uninvited Step Curry from celebrating the 2017 NBA title at the White House." That, from hollywoodlife.com. is pretty typical. As Power Line notes, "Like his star guard [Warriors Coach] Kerr wants to have it both ways. When the Warriors are in the process of rejecting President Trump’s invitation to the White House, Trump is a horrible man, too odious to visit even pursuant to the long tradition of championship sports teams trekking to the White House. When Trump responds to this obvious disrespect by pulling the invitation, suddenly he is “Mr. President,” who “represents all of us.”

Case two:

"In a recent interview, Donald Trump warned — with stunning diplomatic grace — that, if China does not “solve North Korea,” the US will. That’s right, solve them — because North Korea is a problem, not a country inhabited by millions of human beings who have hearts, dreams, & fears like you & I do' [snip] "Ad now our public officials are openly discussing a US attack on North Korea, as if they were the aggressors."

That attitude toward NK is prevalent among a certain set, Nancy Pelosi for example: "House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi criticized President Trump for threatening North Korea with "fire and fury," calling the president's statements "recklessly belligerent" and "impulsive."

This, of course, totally ignores the bellicose and threatening statements made by the NK leader, Kim Jong-in, against the US. "Kim Jong-un threatens to turn US into ‘sea of flames’ with surprise attack." But so what? President Trump is the problem...always. Nothing said or done by Kim matters, only what is said and done by the President. Always.

In both cases, and in others, the President is only reacting to the behavior of others whether unnecessarily rude or combative. TDS means he is wrong no matter what he does.

A true gem:
