This word is used a lot the last few months with regards to our new POTUS. Major news networks, late night comics and social media, have all described many of President Trumps actions as unprecedented. But when you actually look into those claims you will find, there actually is something unprecedented going on, but it is not anything being done by the President. Most of the actions and orders being issued by President Trump to this point are pretty benign. Many of these actions including the “travel ban”, which is being portrayed as some grossly racist action were also implemented by his predecessor without a peep from the media. What is unprecedented is the complete and seemingly blind defiance against the new administration from both the media and sitting politicians.

Anytime a new administration takes office and we see a transition to a new party there is inevitably some push back from the other side. Many times the sitting politicians in the house and senate will use this chance to appear to be “standing up” for their constituents against the new administration. Usually this is done fairly quietly with little to no media coverage. Now in the past if you were a political junky you could defiantly follow these events but you normally had to seek them out. The average American used to go out vote, and then leave the politics up to the politicians. Now there was some hype post-election in ’09 but that didn’t last very long and things went back to normal after a few weeks.

We are a full month into the Trump presidency and other than never hearing about Hillary you would never know the election ended. The attacks have never stopped whether it is the MSM or some actor at an awards ceremony there is just constant bashing of the new POTUS and the people who voted him into office. Maybe the worst part of the whole situation is most of these attacks are based on flat out lies.

The “travel ban”, this is one of the biggest lies that has been told even by politicians. The statement “Muslim ban” was used by more than one politician when talking about the executive action to restrict travel from 7 countries. There is a link below to the executive order you can follow yourself, I did a search on the page and the word Muslim does not show up even once in the order. If you are a politician and you make a statement as inflammatory as accusing the POTUS of excluding entry into the country based on religion, you better know what the hell you are talking about. These leftist want to talk about inflammatory rhetoric they better look in the mirror. When idiots like late night comics or celebrities on social media do this, while it is still stupid and irresponsible. But for politicians this should be career ending. It shows they either didn’t read the order before making a statement or they purposely lied and either one is unacceptable, the MSM should be held to a similar standard.

If you want to see unprecedented look at this…..

There is this blind push back by the media, celebrities and people in the general public that is just flat out scary. Why are these, many of who are very powerful people so against President Trump. Most of them don’t make clear arguments as to what they hate so much, most of which is based in hypothetical scenarios. These scenarios often created off of lies about the Presidents views than anything he has actually said he wants to get done.

Then you have the push back by the public which seems to be mostly from a loud and violent minority. One exception to that which got a lot of participation was the women’s march. Although I believe that was more from the name than it actually being anti President Trump, who doesn’t want women to have equal rights and opportunities? I doubt it would have gotten as much participation had they named it as a counter to The March for life (which it was) that happened the next week. I don’t think the “March for death” would have been attended as well. The signs and interviews at the march were very confusing. Most of the signs didn’t really have anything about policy or rights that women wanted but did not have. Most were just vulgar and seemed to be an excuse to write pussy on a sign in big letters and carry it around in public. Many of the interviews at these rallies were met with people who didn’t seem to know why they were there, well not with any specifics anyway. The most articulate argument that was being made was about the wage gap, which has been debunked on more than one occasion. (Links below)

This lack of understanding seems to be a theme at many of these protest. When someone tries to get a reason from one of the participants it is almost always met with talking points or just “NAZI RACIST FACIST” and no substance. It just seems like if you are going to take time out of your day and risk going to jail you might want to at least have some depth of understanding as to why you are there.

So while there are many unprecedented things going on in the country today, it has a very different source than CNN or MSNBC would have you believe.
