AMERICAN GREATNESS, by Emina Melonic| January 12th, 2019
Excerpt:
It is often said that appearances can be deceiving. This is nowhere more true than in politics. Many critics of Donald Trump are intent on criticizing the style of his presidency rather than taking on the substance or the content. We all know the litany: Trump is an oaf, he talks dirty, he fights dirty, he hates women, he tweets too much.
It’s completely obvious why the anti-American Left hates Trump. He and his political decisions represent everything that the Left is against: national sovereignty, a strong economy, and individualism, to name a few. Without a doubt, “Trump Derangement Syndrome” is real and it’s pernicious.
What is curious—and bizarre—is not so much that the Left suffers greatly from this disorder but that many self-styled conservative intellectuals seem to have caught the contagion, too. They aren’t called NeverTrumpers for nothing. According to them, everything Trump does is wrong. Even if they agree with Trump on some issues, inevitably they will find some flaw in his presentation. They hate the fact that such a clear and American thought can come from such a man. In the words of Mollie Hemingway, they are united in their belief that “Orange Man Bad.” That is their mantra.
