| Don Surber: Putting the Emmys in perspective |
| 2017-09-19 |
| So the TV stars all came out last night to give each other Emmy awards. They mocked Donald Trump, and high-fived one another over how good their jokes were. Meanwhile, Donald Trump prepared to give his speech to the UN on Tuesday as leader of the free world. As a lesser president once said, "At least I'll go down in history as a president." While Stephen Colbert danced in a homophobic and transphobic routine, President Trump presided over the national government. While Lily Tomlin called him a bigot, Trump was selecting judges for lifetime appointments. He's cutting regulations. He's burying the legacy of his unfit, inexperienced, and intellectually sloppy predecessor. The Emmy crowd cracked itself up. They are the cool kids, they tell themselves. Donald Trump is the president of the United States. He will be for another three to seven years. They laugh because they don't want to cry. Nothing they say or do can change that. Impeachment? For what? The emoluments clause? President Trump's opponents have tried everything they could to stop him, and he just rolls along -- a steamroller trampling his enemies. Has anyone ever won a feud with Donald Trump? Ask Rosie O'Donnell. Ask Megyn Kelly. Ask Hillary Clinton. Rest easy, America. You made a wise choice. If he were a dictator, Hollywood would support him like they did Stalin, Ho Chi Minh and Mao. And relax. To paraphrase that old Patsy Cline tune, they've got these little things -- he's got you. |

| #3 Cutting regs is all very fine, but unless he drains the swamp, those gains can be wiped out in a trice. And Project Drain The Swamp is moving backwards right now. |
