As news of Donald J. Trump’s presidential win starts sinking in around the world, President-elect Trump has met with President Obama in the Oval Office for a smooth transition of power, students are walking out of classes in Berkeley, and organized protests with flag burnings, violence and arrests are breaking out in cities across America as liberals everywhere are having a hard time accepting their new reality.
But what are these anti-Trump protesters afraid of? Why are they protesting? A Trump presidency? Secure borders? Stopping illegal immigration? Are they afraid of law and order, and a life without cocaine and heroin? Do they fear a strong military that operates from a position of strength, not weakness? Are they feeling sorry for Muslim extremists who want to kill Americans? Do they fear trading their food stamps for a real job? Are they in love with their inner-city ghettos? Do they fear losing a lousy health care system that does not work? Do they fear living in a world where their sexual indiscretions can no longer be erased by murderous abortion?
“Donald Trump realizes he represents all the people. He will prove to be the best president since Ronald Reagan,” said John Browning Jr., member of the Florida Transportation Commission and former White House advance man for Presidents Reagan and George H.W. Bush. “I wonder what the press would be saying if Hillary Clinton had won and there were protesters. Trump would be blamed for everything. Not one word about her being blamed today.”
It may take a while before liberals warm up to President-elect Trump, but down deep this accomplished man is a good person with solid American values despite his mile-wide, boisterous personality that is misunderstood, lied about and exaggerated by the mainstream media. In time Trump will have opportunities to express the real meaning of living in America and not Syria. Living in a free society with free speech, a free press and rights guaranteed by a U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights, which these liberals seem never to have read or understood its power of lawful equal rule. Liberals have gone berserk with their on-and-on nonsense about white racism, bigotry and fear of foreigners and gays, which by the way are the all same things no matter how you cut the cake.
The liberals are mourning the loss of their idol and former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, but there’s no loss here in saying goodbye to an inherently dishonest and scandal-ridden career politician and that creepy husband of hers. Good riddance and let’s hope we never see her again and her co-conspirator Huma Abedin and her Mr. Weiner.
Trump will have the luxury of a Republican controlled U.S. Congress to work with, but will these slow-moving bureaucrats be able to keep up with President –elect Trump, a known workaholic. Trump’s cabinet will also have to keep up with the new boss, so will the lawmakers on Capitol Hill, so will the new U.S. Attorney general, FBI chief and all the others that will be new to the Washington, DC, political scene. Working with Trump will not be easy because of his personal in-your-face style. No more of this sitting back and wait to see what the other side does. Like it or not Trump will make things happen. For those who voted for Trump it’s time to dig in and watch the show, for liberals it’s time to carry through on your threats to move to Canada or stop your whining and join hands with the rest of America.
John Key, a Palatka, Florida attorney, summed up Trump’s win with: “There is an elite class who, up until last night, ruled this country with impunity and disdain. Now they have been slapped into a reality they never thought would materialize. The fact they are stunned is stunning.”
Yes, the liberals are really pissed off and from the looks of things now they will not stop in attacking Trump from every angle and for doing what he said he would do in order to make America great again. The mounting liberal attack on Trump will have absolutely no effect on him. A complete waste of time, money and energy. Look at what Trump just did in winning the presidency. He won’t have time to notice all the “deplorable” liberal haters nipping at his heels.
“I don’t think everyone truly understands the significance of the Trump Presidency. A self-funded presidential candidate that ran against 16 other establishment Republicans to win the nomination,” said Alex Sharp, a Palatka, Florida attorney. “Then took on the Democratic nominee, the sitting President, a litany of Hollywood stars, the entire media network, his own Republican Party and despite fake poll projections won in an Electoral College landslide.”
Real Americans stood up for America election night and took a chance on steering America back to the ways our Forefathers believed in and imagined when they drafted and passed a U.S. Constitution that screams “equal treatment under justice” for every citizen.
What the heck are these libbers and hateful anti-Trump protesters afraid of? The shoe is now on the other foot and the Democrats are staggering around like an angry old drunk muttering obscenities.
