September, 2019, The Horrors and Destruction of The Trump Administration: Lower Unemployment, Higher Approval Ratings, Fewer on Food Stamps and More

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. 

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 two years they have fretted, worried and lashed out at anything or anyone that even remotely smelled of Donald Trump.

Over the past two and a half 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 two year’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 hundreds of good things that have happened to America and Americans since Trump became President. To review these hundreds of positive impacts his Presidency has brought about, just type in “horrors and destruction” in the search box above or page through the previous months’ posts from the calendar list on the right side of this screen.

It is has been a little while since we reviewed the latest positive developments from Trump so it is time to review what has been going on lately:

- The latest poll results of Rasmussen Reports, a very reputable and independent polling organization, found that 50% of likely voters approve of Trump’s job.

- While 49% disapprove of Trump’s job performance, Trump’s current results are better than Obama’s at the same time in each Presidential term since Obama’s job approval rating was 46% while his disapproval rate was 53%, four points worse than Trump’s disapproval rating.

- Average household income is up 13% over the past four years, from $56,000 to $63,000, most of which I bet has come in the last two years, the beginning of Trump’s term, since household income was stagnant for the vast majority of Obama’s terms in office.

- Since Trump took office, the economy has improved so much that 6.3 million Americans have gotten off of the SNAP food stamp program.

- In a recent month, the U.S. became the largest oil exporter in the world, a concept that was once thought impossible, and a result that enables the U.S. to avoid more drastic downturns in oil availability and the related economic distress while providing the beginning of some air cover to disengage from the disaster that is the Middle East.

- The Trump administration is gearing up efforts to possibly and finally address the homelessness crisis in major western cities such as Los Angeles, having held talks with local organizations to fix what local Democrats could not fix over the years.

- The U.S Department of Labor recently reported that U.S. payrolls grew for the month of July by 164,000 new jobs, setting a new record for consecutive months of job growth.

- Overall unemployment remains at a decades low 3.7%, something else that was once thought to be impossible.

- Average wages were up 3.2% vs. last year at this time.

- The U.S. labor force is also at an all time high at 163.4 million Americans employed.

- Trump donated his second quarter Presidential salary to the Surgeon General organization to fund a public health advisory.

- The niece of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Dr. Alveda King recently pushed back against those who are labeling President Trump as a racist and a white supremacist: "President Trump is not a racist. I've had the experience of going head to head with genuine racists...President Trump has said 'we all bleed the same,' he's very clear on that and he has done so much for all Americans including African-Americans.”

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 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 these posts 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. Hundreds of accomplishments in a little more than two year and a half years is not too shabby despite many of you wanting both Trump and the country to fail.
