The Horrors And Destruction That Donald Trump Has Imposed On America...Just Kidding! Part 19

Before we start today’s discussion, let’s review my voting history: 

• I have never voted for a Republican for President in my life. 
• Thus, I did not vote for Trump. 
• I have rarely voted for a Republican for national office in my life. 

About 2 years ago, many liberals, Democrats, and millennials were besides themselves with grief and fear because their pre-ordained queen, Hillary Clinton, was not elected President. Instead, Donald Trump was elected, an individual that these same people despised, hated, and feared, an individual they felt would endanger and possibly destroy the country and our democracy. For the past year and a half they fretted, worried and lashed out at anything or anyone that even remotely smelled of Donald Trump.

Given that Trump has been in office for almost two years, I thought, that as someone who did not vote for him, it would be a good idea to review the horror, trauma, and terrible things that Trump has subjected the country to in just eighteen month’s time. This is obviously a very sarcastic comment when you take an unbiased look at what has happened during the Trump Presidency. 

The many previous posts we did on this topic identified over 200 good things that have happened to America and Americans since Trump became President can found by entering the phrase “the horrors and destruction” in the search box above.

It has been over a month since we updated this series so let’s catch up with the latest Trump administration accomplishments:

- He recently announced that he was bringing 2,000 U.S. troops home from Syria, a great first step in maybe finally bringing home some of the over 200,000 troops we have stationed overseas at great expense and little positive impacts.

- Apple announced that is building a $1 billion complex in Austin, Texas that will eventually be home to 5,000 high paying jobs, another sign of a healthy Trump economy.

- Christmas season retail sales were up a very robust 5.1% vs 2017 and online seasonal sales were up 26.4%, another great economic feat under Trump.

- In October, there were 7.08 million job openings in the country but only 6.08 officially unemployed Americans, meaning that there were one million more jobs than Americans willing to work, indicating a red hot job market and economy.

- The job opportunities in the U.S. manufacturing sector ware at the best levels since the year 2000.

- Trump signed into law a major, and positive, criminal justice reform law that will cut back and soften the draconian criminal sentencing law enacted under Bill Clinton, a draconian law that unfairly targeted African-Americans over the past few decades.

- Trump and his daughter, Ivanka, advocated and got Congress to pass the WEEE legislation, the Women’s Entrepreneurship & Economic Empowerment Act, a law that promotes and focuses U.S. foreign aid on programs that support women and women-owned business. 

- Food stamp enrollment levels have dropped by about 3.5 million people over the past year, with 47 out of 50 states reporting fewer food stamp residents this year than last year, due to the booming Trump economy and reforms that Trump has initiated to weed out recipients that do not deserve to be on the program.

- Trump recently signed an executive order that will make it easier for private sector investment in 8,700 economic opportunity zones that help bring jobs to impoverished areas across the country. 

- According to Rasmussen polling, Trump’s current approval rate is up to 48%, two percentage points higher than what Obama’s was at the same point in time in their respective Presidencies.

For those of you that have hated on Trump since day one, and given your obvious gross error in judgment relative to Trump given the 200 accomplishments we have previously listed and the ten newest accomplishments listed above, let me ask that you to do us all a favor by implementing the following changes in your behavior and attitude:

• Chill out, tamp down your TDS affliction. No matter how much you hate Trump on a sexist, personal basis, get over it. He is the legally and duly elected President, he will be around for a while so refocus your hatred on more constructive issues and matters. You will live a lot longer if you take your hatred out of your heart and soul and devote it to something positive.
• I would really appreciate it if some of you would apologize to the Trump voters you have disrespected in some of the grossest terms possible over the past year. You have called millions of voters racists, ignorant, stupid, Nazis, KKK members, and other horrible names simply because you disagreed with their voting choice. No American should be called such disgusting names simply because they exercised their Constitutional rights to the best of their abilities. Plus, slandering over 60 million Americans is no way to unite the country and get it focused on the real issues facing us all.
• More personally, I would like, no I am demanding, an apology from some of you for your slanderous and disgusting name calling because in doing so, you insulted and disrespected my sister, my family members, my friends, and my co-workers who simply voted their conscience. I will defend their right to vote anyway they wanted and will no put up with your childish and vicious venom and bile directed at them, very important people in my life.
• And finally, I challenge you to read the following blog post, a post that shows quite clearly that it was hateful people like some of you and your silence during the Obama years that actually caused Trump to be elected. Thus, the people you hate for voting for Trump are actually looking back at you in the mirror:

If you were silent in the dozens of instances listed in this post then you were responsible for the very thing you hate: a Trump Presidency. Or put another way, a so far successful and productive Trump Presidency. Over 200 accomplishments in a little less than two years is not too shabby despite many of you wanting both Trump and the country to fail.
