Trump indignation syndrome

By Norman Zanetti

Democrats and their media cheerleaders are doubling down on stupid. They continue to marginalize everything President Trump and Republicans have engineered.

This should prompt another major belly-smacker for Democrats in this year’s midterm elections.

Following years of dreary regulatory and anti-business agendas, we now have a template for sustainable growth. The art of the possible has moved the needle from red to green.

Change comes with a price in this hyper-partisan environment. The positive intermediate and long-term effect is worthy of tolerating some short-term risk and pain.

Lots of criticism is being heard from hosts of politically shallow intellectuals as they now fear the signature issues that elected Trump and a majority in Congress will prevail over the left’s psychosis over Trump’s fitness for office.

Particularly daunting is the growing credence of the media suppressing evidence that a host of illegalities were perpetrated by members of the Obama administration to undermine then-candidate Trump. Among them was the obtaining of a FISA warrant under false pretense for broad surveillance.

Then there were leaks from the FBI to the press. Then revelations that James Comey and Susan Rice exonerated Hillary Clinton of email abuses before she even testified in Congress. Then we learned that large Russian contributions were made to the Clinton Foundation prior to the uranium sale to the Russians. Lots of powder keg revelations still to come.

The perpetual state of indignation toward President Trump by the media, along with Robert Mueller’s attempts to criminalize civil matters, will not dampen enough votes to win back a Democratic majority.

What will raise eyebrows with the voting public is border reform, tax reform, addressing long-standing trade imbalances, and job and wage growth, all which benefit a large swath of Americans going forward.
