Despite recent successes with the economy (tariffs), immigration and peace initiatives (Syria, Saudi Arabia and Ukraine), the resistance to the new administration continues to be relentless. Trump is just not likeable. His self-aggrandizing actions are disturbing.
The only problem is Democratic jawboning about the new Trump administration by liberal leaders has not generated any productive ideas. It must be attributable to a lack of effective leadership. Singing songs and using foul language has not paid any dividends. Now liberal politicians are storming places where illegal aliens are being jailed.
The political environment in the US has been increasingly antagonistic and nothing close to accommodative for the past decade. Dems and Republicans have been acting like street gangs taking verbal potshots at each other and making it impossible to do the people’s business. Control and power have replaced the quest for effective, productive and sensible governance. Republicans continually belittle Democratic chatter for no good reason; the complaints are moot and naïve. They should just let the liberals drown in their pitiful rhetoric.
Dems spend every waking hour trying to think of ways to incarcerate Donald Trump, or at least embarrass him. They fail miserably time and again and have infuriated Trump. Trump certainly believes in a strong presidency but claims that he is a dictator who wants to decrease the rights guaranteed in our Constitution are absurd. He in turn is now using his political clout to tear apart the Democratic Party by constantly reminding voters that Biden and his sycophants are responsible for so much chaos in our country including a weak economy and flagrant crime.
Trump effectively uses his political prowess and his bully pulpit to upend ineffectual attacks by his detractors. The liberal left was unable to prove that Trump broke the law on a number of occasions. A great number of voters no longer give credence to liberal accusations about any Trump “scandals” they claim to have uncovered.
It’s amazing that so many politicians get away with outright lies, distortions and improper use of government funds. Musk’s Doge group has uncovered billions of dollars of fraud and lies in their review of government spending. These include Social Security payments to deceased Americans and continued funding of scandalous projects that are frivolous and/or completed. Did you ever notice that money provided to needy groups in the US and overseas never runs its course? This funding never ends, even when they are not needed. There is no accountability. Democrats use federal funds to bolster political ideologies.
The real question is, why don’t Americans support Trump more enthusiastically, even when he is successful? He has assumed the role of caretaker of government spending, something disparately needed. Ten and twenty year projects are still being funded, but funds are forever going into the pockets of sham artists, not needy causes. These situations are being identified.
Trump closed the southern border in record time. Now, no one is crossing our borders illegally, and criminals are being rounded up and sent back to their countries of origin. Twenty million people have illegally come to the US. In the future, we will see dramatic situations in politics, social behavior, economic stability and legal standing as the country tries to digest these interlopers.
While protecting their incompetent past president, Democrats enacted and supported mandates that impacted every part of our nation. The rule of law and due process that critics say Trump is discarding were not practiced by liberals who established sanctuary cities and ignored crime. There has been criminal destruction of property and had total disregard for rights of law-abiding fellow citizens. The legal system fell apart while Biden was in control.
Biden didn’t stop there. His subordinates spent millions of dollars to portray Republicans, including Trump, as unpatriotic. Not one of their outrageous charges proved to be true.
And then you ask, why Trump is defamed that every turn?
No doubt Trump’s aggressive style is tough to swallow. But closing-down ineffectual and illegal programs that are costing taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars will benefit our country. Let Doge have at it.
