Normally a new president has someone backing him up, someone publicly behind him. Mr. Obama had the mainstream media — the big broadcast networks, big newspapers, activists and intellectuals, pundits and columnists of the left — the whole shebang. He had a unified, passionate party. Mr. Trump in comparison has almost nothing. The mainstream legacy media oppose him, even hate him, and will not let up. The columnists, thinkers and magazines of the right were mostly NeverTrump; some came reluctantly to support him. His party is split or splitting. The new president has gradations of sympathy, respect or support from exactly one cable news channel, and some websites. He really has no one but those who voted for him. Do they understand what a lift daily governance is going to be, and how long the odds are, with so much arrayed against him, and them?

It us and Trump against the world, the GOP better get on board or be run over.

From the Article :

The speech will electrify President Trump’s followers. They will feel satisfaction that they understood him and knew what they were backing. And it will deepen the Washington establishment’s unease. Republican leaders had been hoping the address would ameliorate their anxieties about the continued primacy of their traditional policy preferences. Forget that. This was a declaration that the president is going his own way and they’d best follow.

Trump defeated the establishment GOPe globalists, He defeated the Bush Dynasty, he defeated the cultural marxist democrat supporting media, he defeated the Clinton Crime Syndicate and became President!

He is our President!

When the tapes with Billy Bush came out, Trump and staff went to his New York office. I genuinely think he was on the edge withdrawing in favor of Pence. What kept him in is that a crowd of supporters came out to Trump tower and urged him to continue. He went out into the street and thanked them, then went upstairs, and continued his campaign.

The deplorables will have his back as long as he fights for us, and that will be enough.

Even the morning of the inauguration, on CNN [I listened for about 10 minutes before turning to CSPAN coverage], the newsies were handwringing, 'can he govern? Obama had experience. Trump doesn't.'

Yeah, the newsies seemed to forget that Obama's claim to executive experience in 2008 was his running his own presidential campaign. Trump has been running a large, world-wide corporation for decades.

The handwringing will continue. The media and opposition will always manage to feign being offended by whatever position President Trump does take or doesn't take.

What good old Peg forgets is that WE the voters hold those politicians in our hands....help Trump or get out the way. WE will dump your sorry behinds

“Mr. Trump in comparison has almost nothing.”

You know who Peggy Noonan thinks isn’t important. Us.

If Trump supporters give up on the USA, the USA is doomed. I don’t think the NY’ers in her pool of friends understand that.

There is a blistering article in American Thinker by C M Evans about her.

One of my favorite images from the campaign. With all this against him, God had to have intervened.
