Some of us believe that Donald Trump is the "last hope for America." That’s the phrase the late Phyllis Schlafly, my boss and mentor used for Trump while he was candidate.

Now that he is no longer candidate Trump, but is President Trump, we have more to do. On this blog, I will post as frequently as possible in defense of the Trump administration and its policies. I hope this will balance out the mainstream media’s hysterical criticisms.

In my day job as President for Phyllis Schlafly’s Eagles, I will be appearing across the country — on radio, TV, and in print — fighting back.

In the clip today on Fox News Channel, I square off against Joe Trippi on the topic Fox picked: a New York Times (yes, the NY Times!) article argues that Republican elected officials are being besieged by disgruntled citizens. It’s not real grass roots — it’s fake roots!
