If you take one of the recent “Sun” columns and make a few slight amendments of the name President Joe Biden to President Trump (“Is this the worst generation?” Camille Wright), it makes more sense to some of us. I cannot let that pass.
Given Wright’s apparent blindness to the incompetence of the “headless” (because the confused President could not give leadership) administration, I will undertake to answer some of her rhetorical questions.
Adolph Hitler comparison (almost half of her article) has gotten to be more than a little tiresome. Did we see any of that under Trump’s first administration? It’s just a false charge and a smear. Tragically, it motivates malcontents and snipers.
Trump was hamstrung all during his first term under the Russia collusion hoax and an attempt is made again now in his second term with recent law-fare. Wasn’t that election interference by a judiciary gone wild? (Democrats: “We’re trying to save democracy.”) So, violate First Amendment freedoms in doing so? Plus, allow a few Democrat barons to decide their Presidential nominee. Sterling examples of the “Democratic.”
On appeal, many of Trump’s convictions are being dissolved and more than one television network will pay huge sums for libelous or slanderous treatment. Two Trump cases were in effect reversed last week. Oh, and the felonious? Now we watch the two prosecutors charged of the same crime.
I wonder if the Greatest Generation liked Biden’s sophisticated and nuanced foreign policy: “Don’t.” One word. What did that get for us? Two wars. Two. Those massacres never would have occurred under Trump. I’d like to know how the war veterans spent their vote. Was that “peace through strength?’”
Is this the “sorriest” generation Wright asks? What did the American people think about the Biden administration? There was a vote last November on a choice of a candidate who said she wouldn’t change a thing about Biden’s administration. How did that work out for her? Trump: Not guilty.
I’m guessing Wright voted for that failed candidate but can’t or won’t accept the results. Given the size of the vote for Trump, I’d say the American people thought it was a pretty “sorry” administration, and probably wished they hadn’t voted it but had voted for Trump in 2020 instead. Looks that way. Biden: Guilty.
What Wright calls dictatorial actions are simply real leadership applying laws for order and protection for innocent people against the invasion of unvetted armies of all kinds of lawless people—e.g. witness Auburn and Charlotte tragedies. Prices have moderated. Tariffs are now equitable. NATO nations are now undertaking more of the expenses of their own security—up to 5%, wow impressive.—makes sense, Europe is their backyard.
USA is now respected in the world again and other leaders in the world are glad Trump is back. No longer is there a confused leader reviewing troops or creating an embarrassing footage before the world press of walking aimlessly away from the group, zombie-style. (Thank the Left.) Let the celebrities depart—and may they go quietly—who cares? Ordinary Americans now sleep better at night. What a blessing.
