June, 2019 Edition: The Horrors And Destruction That Donald Trump Has Imposed On America...Just Kidding! Part 22

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. 
A little over two 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 a little over 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 twenty seven 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 well over 250 good things that have happened to America and Americans since Trump became President can be found by entering the phrase “the horrors and destruction” in the search box above. Today, let’s add another dozen or so good things that are going on in the country even though the doubters hate the reality that Trump is President:

- According to the Wall Street Journal on June 11, 2109, the Trump economy in April resulted in the country’s economy having more job openings than the total number of unemployed Americans by a record amount, with 7.449 million open jobs but only 5,824 unemployed Americans looking for work.

- The latest unemployment estimate shows the national unemployment percentage holding steady at near record low of 3.6%.

- The 4.2% unemployment rate for Hispanics is at its lowest level ever and the 3.1% unemployment for adult women has reached its lowest level since 1953.

- The rate at which Americans are leaving their current jobs, a proxy measure for workers’ confidence in the economy, is at the highest levels since the recession.

- CNN recently, and probably with great disgust, proclaimed that the stock market is up 40% since Trump came into office.

- The Washington Post recently conceded that Trump is the first President to improve wages in a generation.

- Gas prices continue to run lower than recent history with large oil inventories likely to drive down pump prices even more.

- The employment rate for all ethnicities is at a record high.

- The Trump economy has added 284,000 manufacturing jobs to the economy compared to millions of manufacturing jobs that were lost during the Obama years.

- The lower corporate tax rates under the Trump tax plan has given the country one of the most competitive economies in the world, feeding job and wage growth.

- A recent opinion poll found that Latinos generally support the border and immigration policies of Trump, e.g. building a border wall, want to end the catch and release program at the border, etc.

- Trump’s approval rating has risen to 46% which puts it a little ahead of Obama’s at the same time in each tenure.

- Trump recently reached an agreement with the Mexican government that will finally get them seriously involved in stopping the assault on our southern border by illegal immigrants, drug cartel members, gang members, human traffickers, and potential terrorists.

- The Trump administration recently rolled an effort to give women a larger role in world peace and security efforts, instructing all Federal departments involved with foreign affairs to increase women's roles in such matters.

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 well 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 250 accomplishments in a little over two years is not too shabby despite many of you wanting both Trump and the country to fail.
