Donald Trump is administering chemotherapy to a sick federal government and economy. It’s really that simple.
Virtually all of us know someone who has had chemotherapy to treat cancer. Some of the readers have had to deal with cancer and chemotherapy firsthand.
Either way, be chemotherapy observed or endured, most know that the process is a tough go. Cancer is being poisoned in pursuit of long-term health for the individual, but in most cases the host body can’t escape without terrible side effects including intense nausea and weakness.
I note this because already the Democrats are trying to gin up whining about Trump’s attempts to cure existing national ills, noting short-term side effects and ignoring long-term benefit.
They lie about air traffic controllers being laid off – they haven’t.
They note unfavorable economic statistics that reflect the time his predecessor was on the job, yet blame Trump for them.
Eggs, they scream, have gone up in price, as though Trump is out there killing hens due to avian flu, which I anticipate will soon rise to attempts to use it as an excuse to shut down the entire economy.
Forgive them, they are blindly partisan types who embrace all things anti-Trump. They side with illegal immigrants, criminals in general, transsexuals dominating women’s sports, DEI zealotry, left-wing bureaucrats looting the public treasury to fund radical outfits, and anti-American sentiment of all stripes, up to, and including, an ingrate showing up at the Oval Office dressed up like a soldier and spouting the talking points Democrats had fed into his egomaniacal mind shortly before the meetings.
Against that backdrop, it is not surprising that Democrats are pointing out that tariffs, the search for government efficiency, refusal to fund wars of indefinite length with unlimited taxpayer dollars, could produce short-term pain here.
In the short run, tariffs can raise prices. In the long run, as already evidenced by the promised $1.7 trillion or so in investment in production facilities based in the U.S. just since Trump took office six weeks back, they will bring production back to our shores and produce jobs – better paying jobs than the lowly crop-picking jobs Democrats tout for illegals.
Similarly, cutting government fat is going to put some government drones in the unemployment lines, where they will join private sector people unemployed because their firms existed mostly by riding the government gravy train.
With all the compassion Democrats such as Clueless Joe Biden offered to blue collar types their policies put out of work, perhaps these people should learn to code (computers).
Funny, back then the LameStream media saw nothing insensitive about that suggestion. If Trump borrowed that line, he’d be pilloried by the same partisans masquerading as journalists.
See how the Joe Biden incompetence, covered up for so long by these propagandists, now is being exploited in books and interviews for financial gain. These people are the worst hypocrites, making Putin look like a model citizen.
Trump’s address to a joint session of Congress tonight will be a chance for him to list accomplishments, and note challenges.
Leftist media will highlight the negative, the unfortunate side effects of Trump’s chemotherapy that is trying to save the nation.
Don’t be a fool and buy what they’re selling.
