The Horrors and Destruction that Donald Trump Has Imposed On America...Just Kidding! Part 9

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 about 18 months 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 about 18 months, 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 120 good things that have happened to America and Americans since Trump became President:

The latest Gallup poll shows that Americans have not been this optimistic about their future since 2005 with 38% saying they are satisfied with the way things are going in America today, a level not reached since the 39% level last reached in September, 2005.

Trump’s approval ratings continue to trend up while his disapproval ratings continue to go down.

Over 50% of those in the Gallup poll give Trump a better than 50% approval rating on his handling of the economy.

According to Rasmussen polling, Trump’s approval rating is higher than either Reagan’s or Obama’s approval rating was at the same point in all three Presidencies.

A new Trump Labor Department regulation will make it easier for small business owners to band together as a related group to negotiate lower health care insurance rates for their employees, a move that the Congressional Budget office estimates will allow 4 million Americans to get much more affordable healthcare insurance by 2023.

These “association” insurance plans are estimated to reduce the annual insurance premiums anywhere from $1,900 to $4,100 a year. 

This regulation and other changes are estimated by the Congressional Budget Office to reduce the deficit by $1 billion.

As part of the initial meeting between North Korea and the Trump administration, North Korea has agreed to return the remains of thousands of U.S. servicemen to us and their families.

The Federal Reserve of Atlanta estimates the the national economy will expand by about 4.6% on an annualized basis in the second quarter, and almost unprecedented success.

The U.S. trade deficit fell to a seven month low in April as exports hit a record high.

U.S. total household wealth topped the $100 trillion mark for the first time ever in the first quarter of 2018 according to the Federal Reserve.

According to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, the U.S. had the highest economic growth rate at 2.9% among the seven major economies in the world over the past year.

The median U.S. household income is up to $61,483, up over $2,000 or almost 3% in just a year.

As a result of the Trump tax cuts, over 100 utility companies have cut their utility rates according to a Politifact fact check.

Another fourteen reasons to add to the previous 120 or so reasons why the first year and a few months of the Trump Presidency has not wrought disaster on the country.

For those of you that have hated on Trump since day one, and given your obvious gross error in judgment relative to Trump, 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 140 accomplishments in a little more than a year is not too shabby despite many of you wanting both Trump and the country to fail.
