The
Washington Press corps was assembled and waiting for President
Trump’s health report yesterday and the scene looked like vultures
sitting on a fence post waiting for a rodent to die so they could
consume it. It’s been no secret for the entirety of Trump’s
presidency that the liberal press wants him gone and they have
speculated without end on his mental health and his heart and whether
the food he eats is causing him to lose his mental faculties and what
about his tweeting early in the morning, is this a form of dementia?,
and so on.
But
the vultures were disappointed as the President’s doctor gave him a
clean bill of health, and even, to the press’s great dismay, noted
that he was even given a cognitive test which he passed with flying
colors.
It
seems to me that this wish for a president’s bad health by the
press is a bit unseemly if not completely inappropriate. Anyone with
the ability to observe interactions between people has known for a
long time that the liberal press has been losing every battle, every
personal confrontation and every argument with Donald Trump, and they
hated him even more for that than for his conservative political
views.
You
could almost feel the disappointment from the press as they asked
really stupid questions of the President’s doctor. In the past just
a summary of the medical report is all that was shared with the
press, and specific questions about health issues were never
entertained, and often even the summary was very short and
unspecific. But Trump is not afraid of disclosures, so he permitted
an hour of questions to be asked.
What
does all this say about the Washington establishment and the
anti-Trump, Fake News press corps, that they would seem to be anxious
that the president be found to be sick or mentally deranged? Will
this verdict of good health now settle the press corps down so they
can begin to accept Donald Trump as a legitimate president of the
United States? Don’t bet on it. They’ll be even more antagonistic
toward Trump and his policies than ever before, because he won
another argument.
The
Democrats and the Washington establishment still cannot believe that
Hillary Clinton lost the 2016 presidential election, they can’t
believe that Trump is pushing his policies, many of which are undoing
the leftist, anti-American and unconstitutional Obama policies, and
they are seeing, to their great dismay, that his policies are not
only being implemented but are proving themselves to be successful
and working well for the American people. And it’s the last point
(that his policies are serving the American people well) that is most
unnerving to the Washington elites, because it proves that all of
their leftist theories are wrong, that Obama’s policies were wrong,
and that Trump is, once again, proven right.
So the press is about to lose its collective and individual mind anticipating the future political environment with tax cuts making Americans happy and a bit more wealthy; with a stock market that is shooting for the stars and making 401Ks fatter; with Trump’s reduction of federal regulations making businesses more productive and more profitable; and with global warming being dropped like a dead skunk by Donald Trump.
Trump
is without parallel: he’s open and transparent; he’s healthy;
he’s wealthy; his policies are being successfully implemented; his
policies are working to the benefit of all Americans (even the
members of the press); he will take no guff from the lying, liberal
press; and finally, he’s President, and will be for three more
years.
What
the liberal press fails to understand is that their job is to
faithfully report the news, and although any sitting president makes
news each and every day, the press’s job is not to push their
personal politics nor challenge the president on his policies. They
certainly did not oppose Obama on his unconstitutional and immoral
decisions.
But
the biggest thing our press corps fails to recognize is that their
opposition to Trump is an insult to the Americans who voted him into
office, over their objections to him, during the 2016 campaign, and
we American citizens resent their elitist attitude and their lack of
respect for our votes. We will not soon forget the arrogance of the
leftist press and their personal attempts to politically injure
President Donald Trump.
