Ironic, isn’t it? The economy is doing better than it has in decades. And yet when you scour these pages you still see so much criticism of the president.
However, when you look at that criticism it’s almost exclusively about his persona. Trump’s enacted policies that are largely conservative and have been a success in the economy and jobs, the military, cutting fedregs, disentangling America from foreign policy blunders and UN sponsored global climate scams.
We finally got a small government, America-first president and some seriously afflicted conservative nevers can’t even see it!
So, why all the criticism? His personality? Well, voters have seen his personality since Trump has been an American icon, a presence in the media since the early eighties. We knew his personality when we voted for him. And glad we did.
Yes, his personality. Remember that in America, unlike say, in England, there aren't separate roles for the head of the government and the head of state. The U.S. President is both the chief executive and the symbolic representation of the nation. In the latter role, Trump tweets like a teenager, insults his critics and even his allies, and seemingly creates chaos wherever he goes. Yes, he was elected as a protest candidate, and he has delivered results. And yes, his enemies are truly that - so determined to take him down that they deny the results of a free and fair election. That justifiably enrages and unifies his base, but lots of folks outside that base are growing tired of his Presidency-as-reality-show shtick.
President Trump is, in short, a distraction. A distraction with respect to the public giving him (and Republicans) due credit for the booming economy, a distraction that prevents Congress from coming together in good faith to advance his priorities, and, most of all, a distraction that will permit a radicalized Democratic party to install a grievance-mongering socialist.
