Are you a blind opposer? Have you withdrawn your support for President Trump—thus becoming a #NeverTrumper?
If not, then everything's fine. Deplorables have every right to be upset with this GOPe travesty. But abandoning a President who is in the midst of fighting a coup? Ludicrous. Asinine. Laughable.
There are plenty of places for self-indulgent #NeverTrump masturbation. Abandoning the President for signing a 6-month spending bill is not a legitimate option, all things considered.
The President has access to much more information than any of us, and he has earned our trust a dozen times over during the last two years. Even though I might disagree with his decisions at times, I trust his judgement, and am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt long before trusting the judgement of armchair quarterbacks and knee-jerk second-guessers who don't have complete information.
I've seen it time and time again since President Trump assumed office—the latent #NeverTrumpers seize on every opportunity to expose themselves as "sunshine patriots". Anyone who would abandon the President as a result of signing this bill—against the backdrop of a pervasive, ongoing Deep State coup attempt—is simply incapable of seeing the big picture.
President Trump—who was visibly angry at the ceremony—has to pick his battles carefully. Choosing a 6-month spending bill as a hill to die on would have been asinine. Crushing this coup—and having a fully funded military in position to assist, if needed—is magnitudes more important than risking a government shutdown or a crushing veto override.
#NeverTrump is as #NeverTrump does, and anyone who drops their support of President Trump because of butthurt over a short-term spending bill is a de facto #NeverTrumper—by definition.
Opposing this bill—as I did—is woefully insufficient justification to stop supporting President Trump...
At what point into his 4 year term am I allowed to get angry if planned parenthood continues business as usual with taxpayer money?
Way to go, sargon. Exposing the sunshine patriots who enjoy complaining about an occasional rain.
What a great analysis. I was fuming on Friday, but by yesterday I realized the president needs our support. His body of work the last fourteen months, for the most part, shows a man fighting back against the entrenched Deep State DC establishment, and not someone who is or wants to be part of it. We have to get used to this roller coaster ride and admire what this man has done despite an entire “army” of DC politicians, bureaucrats and media people trying to stop him plus dealing with a large number of backstabbers in his own party! We will get upset with him from time to time, but we also know he’s the first Chief Executive since Reagan to be so bold and decisive pushing forward the conservative agenda even if he himself is not ideological. He has put up with more crap than any president in our lifetime, and probably in the history of this country. Yet, he perseveres and keeps going. That alone deserves our admiration and not our condemnation!
