Why would we abandon Trump? He's doing what he said he would do

A year removed from our newspaper's endorsement of Donald Trump for president, the most frequent question I get in emails and letters are from Trump critics asking whether I regret the endorsement. I find it an odd question. It's reflective of a similar theme often directed at Trump supporters in columns from many of our nation's leading op-ed writers, especially after a presidential tweet-storm or inflammatory comment or action. "Will President Trump's supporters finally desert him?" they ask. Through the years, it became an accepted tenet of American politics that promises made and personas adopted by presidential candidates to win votes would be abandoned or ignored in the Oval Office. By contrast, the argument could easily be made that few presidential-level politicians have been as indistinguishable as Trump, the candidate, from Trump, the president.

They were talking about this Op-Ed on Fox and Friends this morning. I didn't see it posted here so now you can see what they were talking about.

Well, the globalist head of the UN doesn’t like him, and disparages his “America First” policy.

Which sounds like a ringing endorsement of President Trump to me.

What a pair the left has asking if we’re abandoning Trump. They haven’t abandoned the lying loser Hillary, but we’re supposed to abandon the President who defeated her, is keeping most of his promises, and is taking the fight to and winning against his enemies, especially his (and our) media enemies.

Maybe should encourage writers to overwhelm this paper with postcards of support for President Trump?

"But apparently lost on many is that, in the 1990s, the left won the argument that these stories don't matter, and that people's private lives and attitudes, as sordid and problematic as they may be, do not determine their effectiveness as a public servant. So convincingly did President Bill Clinton's defenders win that debate that even many on the right came to accept it, which is in part why Trump is immune on the topic and Roy Moore's Senate candidacy remains viable in Alabama."

The left in this country should bask in the glow of their victory and enjoy the fruits of their labor.

This is a one way street. The left only excused misogynistic behavior from other leftists—they’ve always used allegations of some sort of sexual misdeed against Republicans.

The problem for the left is that the accusations seem pretty credible against their politicians. Bill Clinton and numerous members of Congress paid off their accusers, which is tantamount to admitting the truth of the allegations. On the other hand, the allegations against Republicans in most cases seem contrived and overblown. We are to believe that a man in his 30s asking teen girls on dates is the same as rape, or that a host of a beauty talent show looking at a scantily clad contestant is committing the most egregious kind of sexual harassment. Nevermind the complete implausibility of the claims... the forged yearbook signature... etc. Also, it seems that with these claims, the left does not credit us with any ability to weigh each case on its merits, much like they expect us not to be able to tell the difference between illegal alien and legal immigrant.

I was hoping for a fuller recital of Trump’s kept promises. His few failures are the ones where he had to get a kicking and screaming Senate to come along with him and he lost out to crybabies like McCain, Collins, Graham and Corker. Even at those, he might yet triumph but on a slower timetable.

Just to be clear this editorial came from Times-Gazette in Hillsboro, Ohio. It was reprinted in the Dallas Morning News. The DMN endorsed Hillary
