The always amazing and always trustworthy Los Angeles Times is doing a four part review of Donald Trump. This is being put out by the Editorial Board. If you care to read the dribble, here is the article in question I will be referencing.

It was no secret during the campaign that Donald Trump was a narcissist and a demagogue who used fear and dishonesty to appeal to the worst in American voters.

Wow, that didn’t take long for them to insult Trump’s voting base right off the bat. The first sentence. It would seem that is the general theme here. Just insult and criticize Trump and his voters and call into question the intelligence of Trump voters. Because, you know, the democrats really love to play that kind of game. If you can’t beat em, just insult them! The true democrat way.

… or that he would be sobered and transformed by the awesome responsibilities of office.

You mean like a politician taking orders from a higher power? Like George Soros and globalism? I can’t imagine who might fall into that category. “He isn’t doing what Hillary Clinton would have done! MY LIFE IS OVER AS WE KNOW IT!” That seems to be what those writing this are saying in the back of their mind as they fill our citizenship papers for Canada.

Instead, seventy-some days in — and with about 1,400 to go before his term is completed — it is increasingly clear that those hopes were misplaced.

Yes, 72 days in. Let that sink in. I guess he was suppose to nuke something, I mean fix everything by now.

In a matter of weeks, President Trump has taken dozens of real-life steps that, if they are not reversed, will rip families apart, foul rivers and pollute the air, intensify the calamitous effects of climate change and profoundly weaken the system of American public education for all.

Wait, what did I seriously miss? Ripping families apart is in reference to the deportations. Something that Obama did in record numbers. Lets not forget that part. What strikes me as odd is the media’s attempts to turn the deportation cases into “ripping apart families” when in reality, the people who are being targeted are known criminals, gang members, etc. They’ve done other crimes or are a threat outside of coming here illegally. ICE isn’t just rounding up random families. If they were, it would be all over the news. All you’ve heard from the news media is they are “ripping families apart” yet they can’t actually give any specifics of these so-called “families.”

The EPA let the Flint Water crisis happen. I am actually in the process of writing a substantial piece about how the EPA failed in enforcing the Safe Water Drinking Act and the Lead & Copper Rule across the country under Obama. Did we already forget that the EPA reprimanded Miguel Del Toral when he tried to expose the lead in Flint’s water? Miguel was one of their own. The EPA wanted to cover up the Flint issue rather than address it. So, remind me again how Trump is ruining the water when the EPA was already doing that under Obama?

Polluting the air and damaging climate change? How exactly is Trump doing that? Explain to me how our country is going to cause the end of our entire planet. The entire “global warming” issue is just that, global. While I am skeptical about how much we attribute to it versus natural climate change, we are just a drop in the bucket compared to countries like China and India.

…enact a massive transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich has been put on hold for the moment.

Was I asleep when this happened? I must have been. I didn’t even see anything in the news about how the 1% just got even richer and the bottom 99% became even more poor. That goes against his entire campaign pledge and something he’s continued to say this entire time he’s been in office. Should I use the term fake news now? Because that is what this is turning into. No references to their claims. Just ramblings. But lets continue.

It is impossible to know where his presidency will lead or how much damage he will do to our nation.

In terms of what? What damage is he doing that the left isn’t already doing? The left said they are for democracy yet want to overthrow a democratically elected president. They do realize Trump is a bit more to the center than Pence is so they may want to be careful.

These are immensely dangerous developments which threaten to weaken this country’s moral standing in the world

Our moral standing in the world? You mean how moral it was for the EU to bring in millions of migrants who have refused to conform to western culture and cause massive amounts of violence?

But, chilling as they are, these radically wrongheaded policy choices are not, in fact, the most frightening aspect of the Trump presidency.

What is most worrisome about Trump is Trump himself. He is a man so unpredictable, so reckless, so petulant, so full of blind self-regard, so untethered to reality that it is impossible to know where his presidency will lead or how much damage he will do to our nation.

Weird. It is almost as if they haven’t read his book, The Art of the Deal. Here is a link to it. Your answers are in there.

His obsession with his own fame, wealth and success

Did I miss the part where he gave up his company, put his assets into a trust, and left to become the President of the United States? He even wants to let the press decide where his salary will go. There are also several others who are not taking a salary. Yeah, totally obsessed with wealth. No, I’m fairly confident he has plenty of that. Again, this is something they’d come to know if they even watch a campaign rally where he talked about this very thing several times.

scorched-earth outsider campaign

Hillary’s Campaign pictured above.

But in a real presidency in which he wields unimaginable power, they are nothing short of disastrous.

Okay, looking at these editors, they seem older than me. Which means, they probably watched School House Rock while in school. This means they should know what the separation of powers is. You know, our three branches of government? No? Well, the left does think the supreme court is where policy is made.

His contempt for the rule of law and the norms of government are palpable.

Pretty sure this article is talking about Obama at this point.

Whatever the explanation, he is encouraging Americans to reject facts, to disrespect science, documents, nonpartisanship and the mainstream media

I feel what I bolded is an important one. Why should we respect the mainstream media? I will say some of the mainstream media is decent but the majority (cough, the left), seem to be hellbent on 100% negative criticism of Trump. You know what happened in Germany after Hitler was elected? Their entire news publications, radio, etc, all turned into 100% positive on Hitler and Germany. There are some good pieces about how the propaganda coming out of Germany influenced many and even caused Austria to elect him as their president from 1938–1945. Now, I’m not saying the news media slant their coverage to the positives, but articles like the one I’m currently talking about here is the perfect proof of negative propaganda to push an agenda.

His scary willingness to repeat alt-right conspiracy theories, racist memes and crackpot, out-of-the-mainstream ideas. Again, it is not clear whether he believes them or merely uses them. But to cling to disproven “alternative” facts; to retweet racists; to make unverifiable or false statements about rigged elections and fraudulent voters; to buy into discredited conspiracy theories first floated on fringe websites and in supermarket tabloids — these are all of a piece with the Barack Obama birther claptrap that Trump was peddling years ago and which brought him to political prominence.

So, LA Times, you going to list one of these things you mention here? No? Then why say it? Again, trying to push a narrative here. False statements about rigged elections. You mean like the Democrat primary on how they rigged it against Bernie which was exposed by Wikileaks? I mean, since the democrats have come clean and admitted the emails were real, are we just dismissing this? The birther argument? Even though it originally started with a Hillary Clinton campaign staffer. But yeah, I guess since it’s Trump, he started it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Or will he provoke confrontation with Iran, North Korea or China, or disobey a judge’s order or order a soldier to violate the Constitution?

Fairly confident Iran and North Korea are doing that on their own. They don’t need any help from us on that front. Disobey a judge’s order? Well, that is why you appeal a judge’s order all the way to the supreme court. Why would Trump order a soldier to violate the Constitution? See, that is just dumb. I get what you’re trying to insinuate but you really don’t need to.

Or, alternately, will the system itself — the Constitution, the courts, the permanent bureaucracy, the Congress, the Democrats, the marchers in the streets — protect us from him as he alienates more and more allies at home and abroad, steps on his own message and creates chaos at the expense of his ability to accomplish his goals?

So, are they suggesting a coup or what exactly are they trying to say here? Again, I have to mention the separation of powers. Do they not know that exists? I get that they were used to it not really having much meaning under Obama, but this is a stretch.

Those who oppose the new president’s reckless and heartless agenda must make their voices heard.

Here we go again with this language almost suggesting something.

The role of the rational opposition is to stand up for the rule of law, the electoral process, the peaceful transfer of power and the role of institutions; we should not underestimate the resiliency of a system in which laws are greater than individuals and voters are as powerful as presidents.

Stand up for the rule of law, the electoral process? But you just said you think he is too crazy to be in office. This article has all sorts of bi-polar written all over it. But I do find it kind of humorous with the language used once again saying voters are just as powerful as presidents. They really need to explain what they mean because one would almost think they have some hidden meaning in here. I also wasn’t aware I could sign executive orders or sign legislation into law. Neat. Do I get paid for this?

This nation survived Andrew Jackson and Richard Nixon. It survived slavery. It survived devastating wars. Most likely, it will survive again.

Well, that article was quite interesting. I think we need to be compassionate in these times of need for those on the left. The left is falling apart at the seams and these articles are the disgusting proof. This is why the mainstream media is not taken seriously anymore and why most of their ratings are in the gutter. Americans do not care. They care about being able to go to work, provide for their family, and being healthy, etc. They don’t care about the political hit pieces that will only cause the left to continue to lose. If you all thought 2016 was a shocker, just wait for 2018 when the right keeps winning over these kinds of attacks. Your average Joe is doesn’t care about politics like the media likes to think he does. I’m still shocked Russia was not mentioned.
