Over the weekend anti-President Trump protesters showed up in at least 17 cities across the United States. On Sunday night Hollywood put on yet another display of Trump-bashing during the Grammy Awards for music.

The anti-Trump protesters are blind to the fact that President Trump is compassionate, he is a good man who sees the country he loves coming apart at the seams. This billionaire president is seriously working to bring America back and kick to the curb those trying to tear it down from within or overseas.

President Trump couldn’t care less about the protesters on city streets or on TV direct from California or on Saturday Night Live from New York City. Increasingly, protesters who turn violent are being dealt with by law enforcement much more seriously than in year’s past. According to news reports, the dozen or so protesters arrested during Trump’s inauguration in Washington are facing felony rioting charges and a 10-year prison sentence.

So far, President Trump has seven of his cabinet positions confirmed by the U.S. Senate with more coming this week, but Democrats in the U.S. Senate are stalling at every turn, at every opportunity to delay the process.

The mid-term elections are coming up in 2018. There are 33 U.S. Senate seats up for election along with the entire U.S. House of Representatives. The way it’s shaping up the Democrats could lose 20 or more seats in the U.S. Congress sending the ultra-liberal, far-left Democratic Party into near extinction mainly due to the voting public being fed up with Washington’s endless delays and bickering with Republicans. The Democrats have already lost control of the U.S. Senate, the House and the presidency. 

On the international scene, President Trump is seeing firsthand the threat of Iran and North Korea both recently launching ballistic missiles capable of delivering nuclear warheads long distances threatening Israel, Europe, Japan and South Korea to name just a few of the countries coming under dark clouds of potential war.

Last week saw President Trump’s executive order on immigration challenged by a California federal appeals court and put on hold. The president said Sunday he will cancel that order and replace it with a new one designed to better keep radical Islamic terrorists from reaching the United States by using “extreme vetting.”

For those outside the Washington bubble, Trump is doing what he said he would do if elected president. He is communicating with the American people – on social media – like no other president has done. There is an absolute whirlwind of activity around President Trump that seems to be gaining momentum with each passing day while those inside the Washington bubble fear the reaper.
