President Trump Stands Tall

Amid the confusion, fear, and uncertainty surrounding the outbreak of the Chinese coronavirus pandemic in the United States, one thing is obvious: this country is astonishingly fortunate to have Donald Trump as our president.

In predictably trite, small-minded fashion, the liberal media and clueless Democratic politicians have treated the pandemic as nothing more than an opportunity to score shallow political points against President Trump. All manner of "Trump has blood on his hands" and "His Pollyanna-ish downplaying of the scope of the crisis at the beginning cost us valuable time" comments and criticism have been forthcoming on an almost daily basis from the usual suspects. Although he hasn't been perfect (there's no such thing), such criticism is blatantly unfounded. The president has acted swiftly and surely and taken concrete steps to counter the outbreak right from the beginning. Certainly, his travel restriction order against the Chinese in January reduced the size and scope of the crisis here by an order of magnitude. The president undoubtedly knew he'd face calls of racial bias and xenophobia with that decision (and he did), but he knew that it was the right decision for the American people. He didn't take a poll or assemble a focus group or ask his Cabinet for their recommendations. He just made the call. Bold. Quick. Correct.

The Democrats seem more interested in damaging President Trump politically than they are in taking care of the American people. Speaker Pelosi tried to attach all kinds of extraneous, irrelevant addenda to the relief bill (support for Planned Parenthood, voting rights modifications intended to make things more favorable to Dems in future elections, money for NPR and the Kennedy Center, etc.), all of which delayed the bill — needlessly — for a week.

Democrats have long had one ambition and it isn’t to make things better for everyone. Democrats ambition is to wield power.

Liberals see the President’s efforts as a target of their incessant childish attacks.

So their perception of their part in this process is very flawed and counterproductive.

It is killing them that the President is succeeding, not WITH their support but rather, IN SPITE of it!!

Every day, it’s remarkable to see how they find more and uglier ways to cover themselves with shame.

Amen. I thank God for him multiple times daily, and pray continued protection, health and wisdom for him.

I think the worst mistake made by Trump is Jeff Sessions, and Trump, himself, paid the biggest price for that one.

If your asking yourself what’s the reason that the Dems and the Press are so different, now, from WWII? Why aren’t they united with American interests and its President, as they were, then?

The answer is that in WWII, we were fighting to DEFEND Communism.

Agree 100%. While Pelosi investigates, the President delegates and is getting things done.
