Really?  Since President Trump took office, the left, including the mainstream media, has, in lock step, attacked him relentlessly.  Time and again, the media and many Democrats, together with many “anonymous” sources have claimed that our President is unhinged, reckless, ill-informed, deranged, and so on.  The left has even gathered psychiatrists (who have never even spoken to the President) to opine about his mental ability.  Books by left-leaning partisans, never-Trumpers, or disgruntled ex-employees tout the never-ending Democratic party line.  With sheeplike consistency, most on the left believe that by constantly stating that we must fear the Trump presidency, it will make it true.  But, it is not working.  We are much smarter than they are.  We know that the press is against our President, so we remain skeptical.

We supporters have not changed our opinion of our President despite the left’s unending rhetoric so, in my opinion, they came up with a new tactic.  Publish an ANONYMOUS op-ed in the leftist New York Times claiming to be authored by a senior official in the Trump administration.  In this ANONYMOUS op-ed, make enough salient points to make it SOUND like the writer is a true patriot protecting us from President Trump and all this mayhem.  By doing so, this op-ed should finally convince all of us deplorables to abandon him.

It isn’t working.  We are still smarter than you.  First off, why would someone who purportedly cares about our country publish an op-ed that is clearly intended to cause chaos?  Secondly, this may have been believable if the op-ed was published by the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Times or perhaps the New York Post since those publications vet their sources or, even better, if the op-ed was signed.  Thirdly, if the situation is as dire as this ANONYMOUS writer claims, why have none of the senior Administration officials spoken up?  Have we heard about this from Vice President Pence, Secretary of State Pompeo, White House Chief of Staff Kelly, Secretary of Defense Mattis, Director of National Intelligence Coats, Attorney General Sessions… you get my drift. In fact, I believe that they, as well as many other senior Administration officials, have not only denied writing this op-ed but have also refuted the allegations.

Finally, President Trump is not in hiding and never has been.  He speaks to us on a regular basis, answers reporter’s questions “off the cuff” frequently, gives interviews, meets publicly with heads of state, and speaks at rallys. He tweets whatever he happens to be thinking.  I believe he is well aware of everything he is doing and saying.  While the press itself becomes unhinged, he is getting the job done. This has been the most transparent Presidency in my lifetime.

So, Democrats—I know it is hard for you to believe but you LOST the election!  Our country is much better off now than it was before Donald Trump took office.  For one thing, the economy is booming!  Why can’t you just relax…go shopping with the extra money in your paychecks or plan a vacation with your increased stock portfolio or look for a new and better job since the job market has exploded?  Isn’t it about time to get over it?
