Trump's Style

I have received some feedback regarding the debate from good folks concerned about the president's aggressive style. Whether we like it or not, I think the tone of the debate accurately reflected the state of our union at this point in time. The country is deeply divided over fundamental beliefs.

Everyone has a different style, and we all know that Donald Trump is a fighter. And Trump would not have won four years ago had he not been a fighter. 

Conservatives rejected the GOP establishment in the primaries, and the American people rejected "politics as usual" in the general election. Otherwise, "President Hillary Clinton" would be making her third Supreme Court appointment now. 

My friends, don't forget what Trump has had to endure the last four years. 

  • Many leftists refused to accept the results of the 2016 election. 
  • The "resistance" rioted during his inauguration. 
  • The Deep State spied on his campaign and undermined his presidency. 
  • His friends and supporters have suffered all kinds of harassment, investigations and prosecutions. 
  • Democrats impeached him over a phone call, and they are threatening to impeach him again.
  • The left has viciously smeared him time and again. (More on that below.)

I'm not at all surprised that the president was a little "hot" last night. I suspect that any of us would be eager to defend ourselves and set the record straight if we had been subjected to similar treatment. We would also be furious over what had been done to us.

Those upset about the president's style need to focus on the substantive issues at stake. Joe Biden is running on a platform written by Bernie Sanders and well to the left of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton



The "Racist" Smear

Last night Joe Biden again accused the president of praising white nationalists at the 2017 Charlottesville riot as "very fine people." That is totally false. Even CNN's Jake Tapper, no fan of the president, has said this charge is false. 

Well, Chris Wallace dutifully played his part for the left last night when he called on the president to denounce white supremacists. (Wallace should have asked Biden to denounce rabid anti-Semite Linda Sarsour.)

The implication of Wallace's statement was that bigots and racists are supporting Trump, therefore Trump must be a bigot too. And today the media are falsely claiming that Trump refused to condemn white supremacy.

This is another disgusting lie. He has repeatedly condemned David Duke, neo-Nazis and white nationalists. Trump also announced that he was designating the KKK as a terrorist organization. Joe Biden and Barack Obama could have done that during their eight years, but they didn't.

The people obsessed with race are the progressives who are pushing extreme ideas like "critical race theory."

Here's what you need to know:

  • President Trump pushed for and signed historic criminal justice reform.
  • President Trump pushed for and signed huge funding increases for historically black colleges and universities.
  • President Trump has pushed for immigration policies that aid black and Hispanic workers.
  • Under Trump's policies, minority unemployment rates before the pandemic fell to record lows, while median household income set new records for two years in a row.

The Voter Fraud "Myth"
 
Voter fraud and the integrity of the election also came up at last night's debate. Progressives and their media enablers dismiss any concerns about voter fraud and claim it is a myth, just like Antifa. 

Well, voter fraud is very real and Americans have real reasons to be concerned.

  • In 2005, former President Jimmy Carter declared, "Absentee ballots remain the largest source of potential voter fraud."
  • For much of his Senate career, Joe Biden was very concerned about voter fraud and tried numerous times to pass legislation increasing penalties for voter fraud.
  • More recently, an election in Paterson, New Jersey, was invalidated because of voter fraud.
  • Police are investigating possible voter fraud in Minneapolis.
  • The Texas attorney general recently filed more than 100 charges of voter fraud against four individuals, including a county commissioner. 
  • And he may have an even bigger case on his hands if these sworn affidavits can be proven.
  • The Trump campaign is threatening to sue Philadelphia for blocking poll watchers from polling sites.
  • Elsewhere in Pennsylvania, military ballots marked for Trump were found in the trash.
  • In Virginia, more than 1,000 voters received two ballots.
  • In New York, 100,000 voters received ballots with incorrect addresses or ballots sent to the wrong person.
  • In Wisconsin, absentee ballots were found in a ditch.
  • There are hundreds of thousands of dead people still on state voter rolls, and who knows how many illegal aliens.

According to the Heritage Foundation, at least 20 elections have been overturned since 1992 because of voter fraud, which the media say is a myth. Well, I'm certain we don't overturn elections for nothing. So clearly the media are lying to you yet again.

My friends, I'm not telling you this to depress you. I am as frustrated by each of these stories as you are. But I am telling you this to motivate you.

Cheating can only make a difference in close elections. The left's cheating won't matter if the election isn't close. That's why every values voter MUST vote. 

And I encourage you, if at all possible, to do it in person, whether you vote early or on Election Day. In-person voting is the best way to be certain your vote is counted.
