As if Kathy Griffin holding the severed head of Donald Trump was not enough, she now had the unmitigated gall to go ballistic and use some abhorrent language against Melania Trump…echoing statements made by Samantha Bee and Robert De Niro. Now it’s not about attacking President Trump, but his family as well. Do they have no shame? Do they have no decency? Since when has this language been acceptable? Answer: Never.
But these outbursts are proving to the American people that the truly feckless, unrepentant, derisive party is the party on the left. Could you imagine what the media would have done if a conservative used this type of language about Barack or Michelle Obama? Who would have survived the attacks had someone called Michelle Obama a “feckless complicit piece of Sh**”?
Folks, the thin layer of “patriotism, inclusiveness, and acceptance” has been stripped. These “unscripted moments” are revealing to the American people just how morally corrupt the extreme left has become towards our President. It is, by all appearances, a borderline mental disorder. Perhaps there is some validity to the term “Trump Derangement Syndrome.”
Just look at Bill Maher—host of HBO’s “Real Time”—and his comments on the amazing economic growth we are now experiencing under President Trump. In short, Bill was bemoaning to his ever-decreasing audience that he actually hoped that our economy would fail, saying: “I feel like the bottom has to fall out at some point, and by the way, I’m hoping for it because I think one way you get rid of Trump is a crashing economy.” Then he added, “So please, bring on the recession. Sorry if that hurts people but it’s either root for a recession, or you lose your democracy.”
Are you kidding me? This would also see families destroyed, as well as people lose their homes and their jobs, simply because you don’t want Trump as President. We have one of the best economies in modern history, and you want us to crash and burn. Nice, Bill…real nice.
Of course, this type of irrational and “off-script” behavior from the left is now par for the course. Just look at what the unhinged left had to say about the historic (dare we say peace prize worthy) meeting between Kim Jong-un, the leader of North Korea, and President Trump.
There are literally people throughout the media, the government, and the fringe left who wanted the meeting to fail. Why? The only reason that makes sense is because they hate Donald Trump to such a degree that they would rather see our economy implode and the possibility of nuclear war than see Trump succeed.
Just look at how the left responded when President Trump announced that the scheduled June 12 summit would be postponed. The complicit media could barely contain themselves reiterating how Trump was making a mistake and how the summit would not happen. In fact, Sen. Brian Schatz (D — Hawaii) went public and urged the President to “listen to the career diplomats” and other “experts” when it comes to US-North Korean affairs.
Then Schatz went on to further disrespect the President by publicly tweeting: “We should listen to career diplomats, non-proliferation professionals, and experts in North Korea, he (Trump), are not good at this.” I am sorry, senator, you mean the “experts” and the “career politicians” who have kept us at war for over 50 years with Korea, gave billions to Iran to finance terrorism, who pulled us out of Iraq and Afghanistan, and who couldn’t even get North Korea to the negotiating table? You mean those “experts and politicians”?
Then there was the outburst by Joe Conason, the not-so-famous liberal political commentator, founder and editor-in-chief of the National Memo, who suggested that the “summit” with North Korea was destined to fail. He wrote: “This outcome was ordained by the incompetence of the president.”
But it gets worse. It was almost as if the media was competing with themselves to see who could outdo who in inflammatory rhetoric. Soon after Conason’s comments, Julian Borger, the world affairs editor at The Guardian, had this to say: “The debacle had been predicted by just about anyone with any experience of negotiating with North Korea.”
Really, Mr. Conason? I think Senator Tom Cotton said it best: “North Korea has a long history of demanding concessions merely to negotiate. While past administrations of both parties have fallen for this ruse, I commend the president for seeing through Kim Jong Un’s fraud.”
And of course, we now all see how right President Trump was. Just days after the President postponed the meeting, Kim Jong Un was making overtures and sending Trump a “Valentine.” All apparently in an earnest attempt to get Trump to return to the summit. Which of course only further infuriated the left to the point that Christopher Hill, a former ambassador to both South Korea and Iraq under Presidents Bush and Obama, complained that the North Korean leader had already “gotten the whole enchilada,” suggesting that Kim had somehow achieved all his goals without ever meeting with the President.
Maybe now would be a good time to point out that Hill was the person who, in 2005, was put in charge of a six-person delegation sent to negotiate with North Korea to resolve the nuclear crisis…which ultimately failed after almost four years of negotiations. So again, I ask, who are these “career politicians” and “experts” Trump should listen to?
Perhaps, Mr. Hill, you were simply trying to become relevant by condemning the President while simultaneously trying to justify your own inept and ultimately failed negotiations.
For almost a decade, North Korea was virtually ignored by the Obama administration. This form of diplomacy allowed Kim Jong Un to pursue his nuclear ambitions unabated. And in prior administrations, they actually attempted to bribe North Korea just to get them to the negotiating table.
But President Trump was trying a new negotiating style. He was changing the play book and he was vilified for it. Yet, unlike every other administration in history, Trump, through his unique and steadfast negotiating style, has gotten China (the only true ally of North Korea), to comply and cooperate in instituting the harshest sanctions ever against the rogue régime.
So, it came as no surprise when North Korean Vice Foreign Minister Kim Kye-gwan reached out to President Trump, saying: “We express our willingness to sit down face-to-face with the U.S. and resolve issues anytime and in any format.”
Soon after, the summit was held—and the rest is history. What is not history, however, is the continued vilification of a President who has done nothing but win. He promised us in his presidential campaign that we would win.
Yet despite a roaring economy, a successful summit with North Korea, the rebuilding of our military, the best job numbers in decades, the rolling back of draconian regulations, and so much more, the left simply cannot stop attacking Trump…or his family.
But I say: keep it up. Please keep talking. Because the more you go off script and attack Trump and his family, the more you show the American voter just how morally corrupt you really are. This is why your poll numbers are what they are. This is why your alleged “blue wave” in the 2018 elections is turning out to be nothing more than a dried up and cracked river bed, leading to nowhere.
