re: Why is President TRUMP treating Karl Rove like this?

but if Bill Clinton wrote a letter criticizing a pundit in that manner, while simultaneously fluffing his own ego on cherry picked accomplishments...I'd have to say it would look equally pathetic.
Are you saying Clinton didn’t do that?

Have one more vote.
Trump attacks a man’s character rather than promote his ideals and his vision for America.
A great leader can draw people with different ideas and get them all behind a common goal.

Also to win elections, you don't alienate people that agree with you on 80% of issues. Focus attacking Pelosi, Schumer, Biden et al. There is a rich trove of idiocy there to attack.
This goes both ways. The Republican establishment was far more comfortable attacking Trump than actual Marxists.

Karl Rove got his client elected POTUS twice....and got his client to inauguration twice. His client served two full terms.
Mitch McConnell got Trump his 3 SCOTUS picks and 300 federal judges through....oh and his tax bill without a lot of help from the Trump White House.

Feel free to present your evidence. Also feel free to answer the question you didnt quote:
How does this letter help better his political future or the political future of the Republican party?

I wasn’t on this board during Obama’s presidency. No president has literally ever used the words “me” and “I” more than that guy. Did you criticize Obama and hold him accountable for being so self centered and narcissistic?

What "5G" is he referring to?
Vanity Fair - Trump, Rove, Thiel 5G Deal
quote:
. . . the White House is urging the Pentagon to fast track “what would essentially be a no-bid contract to lease the Department of Defense's mid-band spectrum—premium real estate for the booming and lucrative 5G market—to Rivada Networks, a company in which prominent Republicans and supporters of President Donald Trump have investments.” Among those stakeholders is Fox News commentator and GOP strategist Karl Rove, who is also a lobbyist for Rivada. Rove apparently encouraged Trump to pursue the bid, a deal that one administration official said would likely be “the biggest handoff of economic power to a single entity in history” and that a Pentagon official called “an absolute gold mine.” (Rove denied that the company is pursuing a non-competitive RFP or any non-competitive process.)
In September, under pressure from Trump, Meadows ramped up his push to help Rivada by urging Pentagon officials to offer the communications company a “request for proposal” (RFP) without a competitive bidding process, a move that the DoD is reportedly pushing back on for a host of reasons—including, as Pentagon lawyers have told the White House, “that their department has no authority to issue RFPs for the purpose of leasing or selling off its spectrum, and they think that to do so in the manner the White House is pushing would be a complete deviation from normal rules and regulations,”. . .
Trump is never going to run out of feuds, and he's hilariously petty.
I'm glad he's not sailing off into the sunset quietly.

It’s true Trump has an enormous ego that needs regular feeding, but what he said was true. It’s too bad TDS suffers would rather focus on his behavior (I did at one point & I was wrong to do so) instead of the message he’s trying to get across. The swamp is comprised of democrats, republicans, & independents. He’s simply trying to make people aware of who is who.
Here is the problem, its not my vote he needs, I don't give a shite about this stuff... but I know alot of people who do. What is the purpose of alienating those votes for no reason? Suburb folks don't like how he bloviates about himself, I don't like it either, but I happily look past it to fight off communism. Karen and her brunch crew do care, and won't look past it.

You could have put any politicians name at the end of your screed, so why single out Trump?
Its because youre the loser, not him

He need a to do this without the lame nicknames. They aren't creative and cheapen a solid message about the ol' boy DC way of the connected getting rich.

I did, all through the campaign. I sat and watched trump say and do dumb shite like this, thinking there would be a consequence for him, and i was right. he lost. by a lot.
SO back to the question, how will this time be different? How does this petty letter full of his fee fees make it a difference where it matters. and to be clear, it doesnt matter in when his "tough" talk puts a tingle in your bottom, it matters at the ballot box.

Maybe it is because I was lampooning a letter written BY Trump, on a thread ABOUT Trump.
But I'm just spitballing, here.

I agree with alot of what Trump says, but honestly wish he didn't have to make it about himself, he would be way more effective if he kept it to attacking the RINOs.
I agree with everything Trump DID in office, but I still cringe when he opens his mouth.
yes - I know he outright rebukes Political Correctness and for that I am with him 100% - was even with him during the primary season when I (wrongly) thought he was destroying our last chance to take the presidency away from the certain evil of HRC. Been on the Trump bandwagon throughout the time since the 16' nomination.
But dammit to hell - he interjects himself into every situation when he should be advocating his IDEAS - let him extoll on what he ACCOMPLISHED rather than just bragging on himself.
I do note that in the last days before this past election he was moving more in that directed and felt he was becoming an aspirational leader rather than a huge persona.
I see no sense in trying to completely destroy any semblance of non-idol worship.
I love the man for what he DID - am not at all impressed with his rhetoric. When he presents his agenda plans he is golden. When he flaps his gums making it all about Trump the person he gives his opponents who hate what he ACCOMPLISHED an easy way to dismiss it all and stick to their own adverse agenda blaming it all on Trump the persona.
I hope he continues to press his agenda and if he could - create some media options that would make it less easy for the left wing crazies to dominate the information hi-way.

Rove deserves this. He is as fickle as it comes. Maybe more so than Paul Ryan and the lovers’ pair Mittens and Cassidy. Rove deserves this, and so much more. Let ‘em have it, President Trump.

I can understand that Trump is tired of what he perceives is the "swamp". But any time he perceives he is slighted he lashes out like a nineteen year old. And in his mind he is always the best, smartest, most perceptive and a winner. It is unbecoming of a person in their mid seventies to act this way.
