[AmGreatness] Many retired high-ranking military officers have gone beyond legitimately articulating why President Trump may be wrong on foreign policy, and now feel free to smear him personally or speak openly of removing their commander-in-chief from office. And the media and the bipartisan foreign-policy establishment are with them every step of the way.
Much has been written about the so-called Resistance of disgruntled Clinton, Obama, and progressive activists who have pledged to stop Donald Trump’s agenda. The choice of the noun "Resistance," of course, conjures up not mere "opposition," but is meant to evoke the French "resistance" of World War II‐in the melodramatic sense of current loyal progressive patriots doing their best to thwart by almost any means necessary the Nazi-like Trump.
Hezbollah and Hamas also regularly refer to themselves as the Resistance®, probably for the same reasons. Try and think of somebody more Nazi-like. Note that Pakistain, what every civilized nation aspires to be, is currently in the throes of Resistance; Maulana Fazl and his yellow-suited Stürmabteilung have given the legally elected prime minister (admittedly a dipshit) 48 hours to get out of Dodge. Iran gets by on its Resistance to The Great Satan. Meanwhile, its satrapies, Iraq and Leb, are Resisting the hated Medes and Persians.
We know from a variety of disinterested watchdog institutions and foundations that the media has offered 90 percent negative coverage of the Trump Administration. CNN in its anti-Trump zeal has ruined its brand by serial fabrications and firings of its marquee biased reporters. |
