[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everything President Trump does or says is calculated (albeit not always carefully) to serve a purpose or convey a message.

It was important - even essential - that President Trump make this statement of faith in, and praise of, former White House Staff Secretary Rob Porter.

Trump is reciprocating to Rob Porter the faith and loyalty that Trump expects Rob Porter to maintain to him going forward, and Trump is telegraphing to Porter the potential future Porter still has with this administration, the Trump organization, and/or its connections.  "We still believe in you", is the loud-and-clear message.  Remember that Rob Porter is an ambitious man who has just seen his future prospects substantially diminished, if not eviscerated.   Trump has just thrown Porter some a lifeline of hope for a future career.

The understood caveat is that President Trump will maintain that future career hope for Porter, but [u]only if[/u], Porter reciprocates that loyalty and faith back to Trump.  Recall that Rob Porter is a man who has observed and heard many private conversations, and seen many classified documents, and could potentially serve as an important witness in the Mueller investigation.  Trump just sent Porter a message to discourage him from doing so.  Trump has rightly calculated that it is better to experience some public blow back for supporting and praising Porter, than to risk alienating Porter and turning him into a friendly witness for Mueller.

Well, true. But Trump will turn around and f--k him in the a-- if he needs to. He swore loyalty to his friend Mike Flynn, too, an@ d turned on him in a flash.[/quote]

You are right previous poster, the New York Times is reporting that President Trump had privately referred to Rob Porter in at least one phone conversation as "bad garbage".  It appears that Trump is privately 'trashing' Porter, and publicly supporting him -- perhaps in order to maintain Porter's loyalty.[/quote]
