“I can’t see much difference between what President Trump is doing and what they would have done.”
Actually I think he’s trying to RELATE to us by saying the above, but he’s so detached that he cannot even comprehend how we view such a statement.
He’s basically saying that Trump hasn’t really done much more than any other ‘conservative’ would have done in the same time frame (to him, having an “R” next to your name means you’re a conservative), but the left is making it out to look like the end of the world...and I would somewhat agree - Trump has done very little so far (although only a month in), but Trump has set the groundwork for great things to come.
President Trump has taken more concrete action in his first month than previous Republican Presidents have accomplished or jawboned in their entire administrations with the exception of Ronald Reagan. And, if even a majority of his initiatives get through Congressional approval he’ll exceed Reagan.
McConnell is being deceptive. It’s BS. There is not another Republican who would have gone in so aggressively, not even Cruz, who waited for Trump to take the lead and the potential flak before he jumped in and behaved as if he’d supported it all along.
These others, they’re all afraid of the press and they’re all afraid of being called various forms of “-ist” except for Trump. They’d have been hamstrung and rendered ineffectual just as W was hamstrung.
