Was no one in that administration shamed by Obama's bowing, apology tours, nor his embrace of racist anti-white, - American figures such as Farrakhan and Al Sharpton?
I agree that President Trump seems to lack social graces in promoting his causes and I disliked him during the primaries. But now we have a president who demands respect on the international stage in areas where the courage of leadership is necessary.
If this president is handcuffed and cast away, we will also lose Nikki Haley, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, General Mattis and so many others who put the fecklessness of Obama to shame. I fear that to lose Trump is to turn this nation back to the Democrats.
As Charles Krauthammer once opined, "it's not that there is a new sheriff in town. It's that there is now a sheriff in town. The demagogues of the Democrat Party must not take control of this nation! The Tunnel Dweller.
TV Week "The New York Times today has published an op-ed essay titled “I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration” by a writer the paper does not identify.
"In the piece the writer says: “Although he was elected as a Republican, the president shows little affinity for ideals long espoused by conservatives: free minds, free markets and free people. At best, he has invoked these ideals in scripted settings. At worst, he has attacked them outright.
“ 'In addition to his mass-marketing of the notion that the press is the ‘enemy of the people,’ President Trump’s impulses are generally anti-trade and anti-democratic.”
"The author also writes that “many of the senior officials in his own administration are working diligently from within to frustrate parts of his agenda and his worst inclinations.
“ 'I would know. I am one of them.”
"The piece goes on to say: “The erratic behavior would be more concerning if it weren’t for unsung heroes in and around the White House. Some of his aides have been cast as villains by the media. But in private, they have gone to great lengths to keep bad decisions contained to the West Wing, though they are clearly not always successful.
“ 'It may be cold comfort in this chaotic era, but Americans should know that there are adults in the room. We fully recognize what is happening. And we are trying to do what’s right even when Donald Trump won’t.”
"In its introduction to the op-ed piece The Times writes: “The Times today is taking the rare step of publishing an anonymous Op-Ed essay. We have done so at the request of the author, a senior official in the Trump administration whose identity is known to us and whose job would be jeopardized by its disclosure. We believe publishing this essay anonymously is the only way to deliver an important perspective to our readers.”
