Trump is no politician, that's why we elected him.

Two Republican senators have criticized President Trump from the floor of the senate, in a dramatic break from their party. Senators Bob Corker and Jeff Flake have blasted the President, and Flake has announced he will not run for reelection. The President has responded in typical fashion, pointing out that Flake has an abysmal approval rating and cannot win reelection anyway.

Traitor to the American people and his party, Jeff Flake is now the darling of the liberal media establishment because he has ragequit the Senate. It's a smart, bold move, especially since he cannot win against his pro-Trump primary challenger.

LOS ANGELES, CA (California Network ) -- Republican senators Bob Corker and Jeff Flake have criticized President Trump from the floor of the senate. While such statements are common, it is rare to hear them from Republicans against their own president.

The comments came following a GOP senate luncheon with President Trump, where both sides discussed ideas for the nation. Trump had a triumphant tone following the meeting, saying that it was a ‽The meeting with Republican Senators yesterday, outside of Flake and Corker, was a love fest with standing ovations and great ideas for the USA!"


It's unclear exactly what exchange the president has with the two senators, but Trump does not let criticisms and attacks go unanswered. At some point, Trump entered a war of words with both senators and he likely criticized them before their peers. This is common behavior in corporate America where bottom lines matter more than diplomacy and feelings. Most politicians are diplomatic in their speech, and careful of what they say; corporate executives, Wall Street moguls, not so much. 

The result is two wounded senators who took to the senate floor to air their grievances before the people.

Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN) said President Trump was "debasing" the nation. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) said he would retire because "some in our executive branch" were "reckless, outrageous, and undignified."

President Trump fired back, tweeting: ‽The reason Flake and Corker dropped out of the Senate race is very simple, they had zero chance of being elected. Now act so hurt & wounded!"

Jeff Flake faces grim reelection prospects, with an approval rating below 18 percent. He is likely to be replaced by a pro-Trump Republican.

Flake spent Wednesday morning as the darling of the liberal media establishment, with an interview in CNN.

President Trump was not elected by the American people to be polite and play politics with the establishment. His greatest appeal was that he was a political outsider. However, he lacks political experience, and speaks his mind directly to people. This has made him numerous enemies, even within his own party.

Nothing is more dear to a politician than their reelection, and the private donations that finance their campaigns. Their reputations are carefully manicured, their deals are negotiated, and their proposals are often written by lobbyists to appease their big money donors. President Trump is disrupting this activity by advancing a populist agenda, intended to serve the American people, not corporate lobbyists. This puts him at odds with the political establishment.

While millions criticize the President for his manner and his misstatements, it is easy to see though his occasional gaffes to understand what he means to say and do. It is clear and obvious that President Trump is a compassionate man who loves his country and wants to serve the American people. However, he is fierce in negotiations and talks, and he is forceful and direct with the people that work with him. This is a management style common on Wall Street. It's unheard of in Washington. But that's too bad, because the American people want change, and President Trump is working to deliver. Our elected representatives, are working to block the president at every turn, even those within his own party.

Thankfully, the mid-terms are coming, and the voters know what to do.
