Is Trump being treated "fairly"?
"No politician in history - and I say this with great surety - has been treated worse or more unfairly." -- Donald Trump. |
opponents,” It’s not just the former presidents. Two days ago, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), while receiving the National Constitution Center’s Liberty Medal, lambasted “half-baked, spurious nationalism” and suggested the United States was abandoning its leadership role, an approach the Vietnam War veteran and former prisoner of war called “unpatriotic.”McCain’s critique prompted Trump to warn him to “be careful” because he is prepared to “fight back.”The common thread among Bush’s and McCain’s words was a defense of the post-World War II liberal order that America helped build which supported strong security alliances, a defense of human rights and an open economic system of free trade, said Richard Fontaine, who served on the National SecurityCouncil under Bush and was a foreign policy adviser to McCain.While Republicans and Democrats have disagreed over the means to achieve such objectives, Trump has opened a direct assault on many of these ideals, Fontaine said.
Are we giving Donald Trump a fair chance ?
The Press is ruthless in its en-devour to uncover the truth , but at times can become a wolf pack to devour a politician . |
Brings this question to mind about how fair our political views are as expressed by the media{ LEFT WING} attacks against Trump. I know right now that there is a anti-Trump craze sweeping the nation . Personally I have been critical about Trump . I never saw him as qualified for the office . I base that "fact" is that he has never held a political office , he was never a US Senator , or elected Mayor of any city . (3)>>THE REALITY CHECK here is that the Americans some how were duped to elect a Billionaire Showman to the Presidency . THE HONEST as in MY OPINION is that Donald J Trump resonated with a conservative fringe . As I analyzed , there some aspects that I too agreed with Trump . I do agree about getting jobs back to America first . STOP Outsourcing jobs for example to China , the bad trade deals that resulted in the loss of manufacturing jobs over the decades is something that has blemished both Republicans and Democrats . I blame both parties for the loss of American jobs . The Republican party for decades was for "Faster Cheaper " alternatives to hiring a American for 23 dollars an hour working at a manufacturing plant . Its VARY tricky to say if Trump is right and we the Trump critic wrong . President Trump has serious problems , he has attracted bigots , every extremist imaginable . Basically, anything they can paint him as a bad president, they put them on front pages and bring them up again and again.Anything he has done that are liked by Americans, they just mentioned them like after thoughts, like his stands against illegal immigrants, against China.Trump's problem is that he screws up about twice a week. (4)>>That means his lies, rudeness and disloyalty are never out of the news. If he could get it down to monthly, people would concern themselves with other things. HONESTLY AGAIN , Trump can't control himself for a popular opinion of him while tweeting something like "rocket man" . He nearly proved himself a crazy threating to utterly destroy North Korea . I would just call it a quick " strange case of good luck" after Trump blasted away , it seems we have NOT heard or seen North Korea launch another missile yet despite on going China - USA diplomacy. Giving Donald Trump a chance is not always easy. I am starting to feel sorry for President Trump, can he bring some traditional image of the US President back ? he has managed and then descended into linguistic and logical chaos. The president has frequently claimed unfair treatment from the media since his inauguration, but such criticism of news outlets has increased over the last few months . Its the fact that Trump can't say what he says without a challenge by the media . It can only get worse ................
NOTES AND COMMENTS:
(1.1)>>George W. Bush on Thursday. Neither of them mentioned President Trump by name but two of his predecessors emerged from political seclusion on Thursday to deliver what sounded like pointed rebukes of the current occupant of the Oval Office and the forces of division that propelled him to power.In separate and unrelated appearances, former Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama both warned that the United States was being torn apart by ancient hatreds that should have been consigned to history long ago and called for addressing economic anxiety through common purpose. While not directly addressing Mr. Trump, neither left much doubt whom and what they had in mind. { FOR a FULL TEXT of BUSH Speech go here : http://politi.co/2yUe34i } Mr. Bush, the last Republican to hold the White House, spoke out at a conference he convened in New York to support democracy, noting that America first had to “recover our own identity” in the face of challenges to its most basic ideals. While Mr. Trump seeks to raise barriers to trade and newcomers, lashing out at targets with relish, Mr. Bush defended immigration and free trade, denounced nationalism and bigotry and bemoaned what he called the “casual cruelty” of current public discourse.(1)>>"conspiracy theories and outright fabrication"- American politics have always slouched toward paranoia, Why are conspiracy theories are so attractive? says that for a person to buy into one, it has to align with their beliefs. Remember when Jeb Bush tweeted something about a "conspiracy" between Hillary and Trump? “Maybe Donald negotiated a deal with his buddy @HillaryClinton,” Jeb Bush tweeted. “Continuing this path will put her in the White House.” Trump’s candidacy isn’t just suspicious to some because he once belonged to the Clintons’ political party. It’s suspicious because he’s the Clinton’s pal — golfing with Bill and, in 2005, hosting the Clintons at his wedding to Melania Trump. It was an invitation that Clinton had to explain away after Trump announced his candidacy in 2015 . There are a lot of curious things about the 2016 election that boggles the mind . The spin of Russian meddling interwoven with collusion of the GOP marks a sinister chapter in American history..(2)>>President Barack Obama’s birth certificate. The Election of Obama is just as curious as Trump's . Honestly Obama was more sincere in nature as a man who reached the Presidency for Black Americans who this as their triumph . Mr. Obama was far more open to political opinion than Mr. Trump . Regarding his birth , I have to recant my theory of where he was born with out being accused of "racism" . As much as the "birth-er" movement . What can't be explained away is the Obama was born a Muslim , there are evidences of it , if you look to his autobiography Dreams of my Father he gave himself away searching for his roots in Kenya , where his father lived as a Muslim who married a white woman his Mother Ann Dunham . All this fueled the anti-Obama mob in endless speculation about Obama . Worse as well the Kenyan government "claimed" that Obama was born in Kenya with out proving it as much as the Tea Party - Trump birth-ers trying to push that the Hawaii Certificate was fraudulent .(3)>>THE REALITY CHECK. While most Republicans feel there is so much Trump bashing by the media . ITS only fair to say that Obama suffered the worst criticism ever seen in media history , he was attacked by the far right on practically everything he tried to do . He was painted as "Marxist" from the start . There is a lot of equal hate and loathing for Obama up to this day as the Republican Controlled Congress is dismantling the Obama legacy ., Obama was treated with no respect.The Republicans had a meeting the night of his inaugural to fight Obama on everything. They are all equally responsible for dividing this country. At the time they were the worst Congress in history. There is however a warning to heed politically, what could happen in the future if Trump loses the 2020 election . Trump could face the same backlash to his legacy . LIKE the Ides of March , what goes around comes around . (4)>>That means his lies, rudeness and disloyalty are never out of the news.This week's uproar started Monday, when Trump criticized his predecessor after being asked why he'd waited so long to comment on the Green Berets's deaths, and continued through Wednesday, when he reportedly told one of the soldiers's widows that her late husband "knew what he signed up for." It's just the latest example. The fact that President Trump did not acknowledge the deaths of four servicemen in Niger until asked about it 12 days later was certain to raise legitimate questions regarding his sensitivity. But Mr. Trump seems to have no sense of when and how to put controversy to rest and when not to be combative. The congresswoman who accused Donald Trump of offending the widow of a green beret killed in action says that the administration’s response to her claims included a “lie” and a “racist” insult. Asked about the back-and-forth during a White House briefing Wednesday afternoon, Sarah Huckabee Sanders called the media a “disgrace” and described Wilson as “disgusting” for raising an issue with the president’s tone. Calling the widow, she said, was an “act of kindness.” But Trump’s reflexive posturing about his superior capacity for empathy seems to have proved his critics’ points.
