The Trump Presidency Is Over
The Atlantic ^ | 3/13/20 | Peter Wehner

Posted on 03/13/2020 2:01:13 PM PDT by justme4now

It has taken a good deal longer than it should have, but Americans have now seen the con man behind the curtain.

When, in January 2016, I wrote that despite being a lifelong Republican who worked in the previous three GOP administrations, I would never vote for Donald Trump, even though his administration would align much more with my policy views than a Hillary Clinton presidency would, a lot of my Republican friends were befuddled. How could I not vote for a person who checked far more of my policy boxes than his opponent?

What I explained then, and what I have said many times since, is that Trump is fundamentally unfit—intellectually, morally, temperamentally, and psychologically—for office.

It took until the second half of Trump’s first term, but the crisis has arrived in the form of the coronavirus pandemic, and it’s hard to name a president who has been as overwhelmed by a crisis as the coronavirus has overwhelmed Donald Trump.

If they do, they’ll all have to Finn for themselves.

“Donald Trump won’t last 3 weeks as a candidate.”

“Donald Trump will never be nominated for president.”

“Donald Trump will be never be elected President.”

Yeah, keep talking.

Today’s emergency declaration press conference and the surging stock market should send this never Trumper scurrying back into his hole.

Wehner is a Bushie neocon who evidently thinks that temperament is more important than results.

I suppose the neocon dope would therefore approve of the Kenyan Klown or the criminal Hillary on the basis of their public temperament, all the while hating and destroying the country and the world.

Sorry Wehner, you’ve got 5 more years of writing your antiTrump screeds.

“We’ve hit ‘Peak Trump’ .” This is probably the most over-reported headline of the decade.

“””Do you know of any concrete steps the Trump administration has taken to change the fact that 80% of our medical supplies currently come from China?””””


Medicines and supplies from China were probably not at the top of the list for Trump. He was first concerned about bringing steel and aluminum production back to the USA. A country cannot rely upon other countries to supply the raw materials for battleships and jet planes.

National security is important.

Now that the issue of medical supplies is in the forefront of USA citizens, we should expect Trump to bring that production home.

To THE ATLANTIC owners/staff,

Dear DUMB-bunnies,

Do you really expect anyone “of reasonably normal IQ” to believe the UTTER NONSENSE & LIES that is your magazine’s usual “stock in trade”??

As for “me & my house”, we are NOT DECEIVED by your LEFTIST LUNACY & FOOLISHNESS.

Yours, TMN78247
