What Trump vs. Pelosi Is Really All About

RUSH: No, no, no, no. It’s not hard to understand what’s going on here at all. That’s easy. Explaining why this is happening is easy. Explaining the Democrat thinking and their behavior, now, that’s gonna take some work.

Now, the reason all this is happening — and I’m assuming that everybody’s up to speed here on what happened yesterday, Trump and Pelosi. Basically the president told these guys, “You don’t get a do-over on these investigations, and you don’t get to keep doing this. And as long as you keep doing this, we’re not gonna do any legislation.”

Well, that caused all kinds of outrage, not just in the Democrat Party, but in the media. “What do you mean, you’re not? You know, presidents have to put up with this all the time. Nixon was investigated and he was still president and Clinton was investigated and he was still president.” It’s almost like I heard the media saying that the Democrats have a constitutional requirement to do what they’re doing, and they cannot be stopped, and Trump can’t stop them, and it’s just something that he has to put up with.

But all this, it’s kind of comical to watch when Trump tells ’em, “Look. You know what? I’ve had it with you people. We’re trying to move the country forward. We’re trying to move my agenda forward. We’re trying to bring you in. We’re trying to do some needed things on infrastructure, but I’m not gonna work with you as long as you keep up this investigation stuff.” And they just had a cow.

Now, what this is all about — and some of you may disagree with me, but it’s really simple. This is all about the fact that they got nothing on collusion with Russia. That’s what is driving all of this, the psychology of it. For two years or two and a half, whatever, I mean, even the time prior to Trump’s inauguration, they have lived, they have breathed every day the belief that Trump was toast. That whether Trump had colluded with Russia or not, somebody was gonna be able to prove it, quote, unquote. They believed it.

Journalists got up every day for two and a half years believing that was gonna be the day where the magic bullet news story or revelation or leak was going to happen that was gonna blow it wide open.

Now, forgive me if this sounds redundant, but this is what is driving this. Their inability to accept that they failed, … They’ve launched everything they know to launch at Trump, and it hasn’t succeeded. And they’re beside themselves. It is they who are losing their minds. It is they who are losing their grounding. It’s not the president. It’s not the president that’s off on wild, incomprehensive tangents. It’s these people. It’s Nancy Pelosi and the Democrat Party and their buddies in the media who are at their wits’ end.

So now Pelosi starts talking about Trump and a cover-up. A cover-up of something that he didn’t do! What in the hell is Trump supposed to have covered up? So it all came to a head yesterday. They show up at the White House, hopefully to get an agreement on the amount of spending for an infrastructure bill. And Trump just said (paraphrasing), “You know what? I’m outta here. I’m not gonna do this if you people continue with this investigation stuff. I’m not gonna do it. There’s no legislation, no moving forward as long as you’re doing this investigation stuff.”

They tried to take down the president of the United States, and they failed — and they can’t adapt. They can’t adjust. They can’t accept it. Now, the right perspective of this is something I’m not sure a lot of Americans are getting. The Drive-By Media is not telling you about these events of the past two days as I just did. The Drive-By Media’s reporting on this as though Pelosi is the final source authority, that Trump is mentally impaired, that we all need to be praying for the president, and that we should ask the Trump family to do an intervention to save the country and get rid of the president.

This is the angle that people who consume Drive-By Media as their primary news source get.
