I’ve been disappointed with Republicans, who make no effort to defend their president, and allow the opposition to run to the media microphones to attack him.
They wouldn’t be in the majority if it wasn’t for President Trump’s successful presidential campaign, and the Democrats wouldn’t be as weak politically and electorally as they are without Trump. And it isn’t just in the U.S. House and Senate; Republicans hold governorships in 33 states.
Think about it. Without Trump, Hillary Clinton would be president and a liberal would have replaced Antonin Scalia in the Supreme Court.
It was heartening to listen to customers of the Three Son’s Diner in Warren, Michigan give strong support to the president during a recent TV interview. Previous voters for Obama, who voted for Trump in 2016, continue to support him.
An hourly worker, “Kate,” talked about being sick of the media. A retired school teacher was happy to see Trump strengthening U.S. opinion abroad and referred to the “wimpy kid Obama.” A man, who said he was “kicked out of his barber shop when the voted for Trump,” urged him to continue with his agenda.
In his graduation speech at the U. S. Coast Guard Academy last week, the president asserted that “No other politician in history, and I say this with great surety, has been treated worse or more unfairly.”
Bill Clinton deserved to be treated negatively during the Lewinsky episode. Yes, George W. Bush was treated shabbily, but nothing to the depths of the assault on Trump. And, while Congress and many Americans were critical of Barack Obama, the media carried his water. However, the constant drumbeat against the Trump administration is the worst in my memory.
“CNN and NBC led media studied in a first 100 days Harvard University study with 93 percent negative coverage on Trump. Obama’s initial coverage was 59 percent positive.
“Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Rule #13, Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals
New York Times columnist Ross Douthat urged Congress to use the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office. His colleague at the Times, David Brooks, insulted the president in his column, calling him an “infantalist.”
“Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon …There is no defense. It’s irrational. It’s infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions.” (like Acting Attorney General Rod Rosenstein’s decision to appoint a special counsel.) Rule #5, Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals
CNN’s Lawrence O’Donnell, recalling how it took a special prosecutor 14 months “to get rid of President Nixon,” joyfully suggested that “Donald Trump might only have 14 months left in his presidency.”
Most Republicans in Congress have shied from cameras and microphones, but those who have commented chose only to comment positively on the selection of Robert Mueller as special counsel.
Sen. John McCain, who is safe from Arizona voters for six years, joined those who foolishly compare Trump’s situation with Watergate, saying that the Trump-Russia controversy is “reaching the point where it’s of Watergate size and scale.”
“It’s nearly incontrovertible that a slow-motion coup d’etat is now taking place. Since Nov. 9, 2016, forces within the U.S. government, media, and partisan opposition have aligned to overthrow the Electoral College winner, Donald Trump,“ wrote John Downton (a pen name) in The Federalist.
“Keep the pressure on. Never let up.” Rule #8, Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals
I have inserted rules from “Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals” because they are from the Democrat playbook and the agenda of ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, The New York Times, The Washington Post and a host of other leftist media, all determined to bring down the presidency of Donald Trump.
Don’t allow their “news” stories with anonymous sources to cloud your thinking and support for the man who has promised to make American great again.
