By constantly attacking the man on all levels, you prevent him from doing his job. In turn you use a double standard. You go according to the philosophy, it is alright to attack the president, even threaten to kill him, but it is not right when the president fights this fire with fire. It's hypocrisy.
You asked the question, "What do we do now?", the answer is quite simple. Instead of insulting the president, why don't you go to work and work. Work with the president. I hated the decisions that Obama made, and yes, I presented evidence that gave the people a right to go to war. However, I was observing how Obama divided the country and polarized the two sides. But the conservatives are slow to action, because the conservatives have a conscience, and do not want to put forth a wasted effort.
However, how did the protest in Chancellorsville help America? All that protest did, was show how divided we are as a nation. And that protest no matter what side you are on divided the nation. How does the NFL protest help America? It doesn't. Where is the concrete work that needs to be done so change is inevitable?
Now, Trump used an old philosophy, if the people are working, and they are enjoying their work, and they are being paid for their work, then they will be happy. This brings greatness to the work that is done. Obama did not create jobs but rather chased manufacturing overseas. This really isn't Obama's fault, but he continued what Clinton and Bush had done. Where as Trump has done something that has not been done since FDR, which is start the working machine up again.
After WWI, we called it the "roaring twenties". Yet here it is, 100 years later and we are entering into another period of the "roaring twenties". The "roaring twenties" which ended with the stock market crash of 1929, when Roosevelt was finally able to reinvent the system. Well a stock market crash, the likes of 1929 is not needed. It already happened with the Housing market collapse, and the collapse of the auto industry, and the collapse of the banking industry. Where all these industries were given bailouts which resulted in the arrest of a 1929 collapse.
Trump is reinventing the way capitalism is performed. This is a good thing. However, he is blocked mostly by fearful people. Distractions like, "Russian collusion" (which was caused by Hillary Clinton and not Donald Trump), and various other attacks, have proven to be unsubstantiated, but attempted to destroy the reputation of the President. However, none of the unsubstantiated attacks damaged Trump, but rather these attacks, hurt the attacker. Foolish attempts on many levels. Yet the hardheadedness of the left and the empathy of the right, has caused this problem.
So again I ask my fellow Americans, no matter how much you complain about the splinter in your brothers eye, until the plank is removed from your own eye, and until the splinter is removed from your brother's eye, the pain will remain. This 'pain' is the innocent suffering of our fellow countrymen. So is it better to destroy the body for the sake of the plank or splinter, or is it better to destroy the splinter and plank, so the body can live?
It is dumb for reporters to report as news idiot gossip. "I'm better than you" philosophy never accomplished anything, if it did, tell me one time it did. We tell our kids not to judge a book by a cover, yet the liberals judge volumes of books by that very same cover. They describe how disgusting the cover appears, yet this disgusting looking cover, contains the most wise words ever written. So do we cut off the wise words because of the cover, or do we read the book?
This whole topic is about giving Trump a chance. But the liberals refuse to do so. This blasted hostile refuse is going to hurt our fellow countrymen and women but I suppose to the liberals it is okay to sacrifice some for all. I know one liberal, Gabriel Giffords, Representative of Arizona, who stood up against her own party, when California called for a boycott of Arizona. When then governor Jan Brewer laughed at California and said, "If California boycotts Arizona, Arizona will cut off California's electrical power"
Giffords was on the side of Jan Brewer and called for a stop for the boycot. Unfortunately a week or so later, she was shot. Is this what you all want? I recommend that we, all of us, work with the president rather than against him. He's reaching out to all Americans, who will answer the call?
