Political and mainstream media opponents are beginning to give Trump credit where it’s due for his handling of the Chinese Virus.

Nobody could have predicted what the world looks like today three weeks ago. There’s never been an emergency that shut down most of the US economy and has us hiding in our homes. Anyone who follows politics wouldn’t believe Trump was getting praise from Governors Cuomo and Newsome, Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, and media personalities like Dana Bash and Joe Scarborough.

Some Democratic politicians and their left-wing media allies are having moments of putting partisanship aside. That’s not the case with most of the people on the Left and mainstream media, but credit needs to be given to those who are putting aside politics during this crisis. It’s refreshing to see and gives hope that most of us can come together in emergencies that erase party lines.

Dana Bash said the following about President Trump following his press conference on Tuesday:

“If you look at the big picture, this was remarkable from the president of the United States. This is a nonpartisan, this is an important thing to note and to applaud from an American standpoint, from a human standpoint.” “He is being the kind of leader that people need, at least in tone, today and yesterday, in tone that people need, and want and yearn for in times of crisis and uncertainty,”

It’s rare to see CNN give Trump any positive press coverage. They’ve launched constant attacks on him before he took office and haven’t stopped. Bash received criticism for breaking the anti-Trump narrative by some on the Left, but she stuck to her guns.

The same kind of Trump-bashing fills the airwaves on MSNBC. Joe Scarborough, a former Trump defender, has ripped Trump his entire term.

He joined Bash and offered a surprise supportive statement of the president and was hopeful that he continues his somber approach moving forward.

“We only have one president at a time. We have to do everything we can do to make sure this president succeeds.”

Governor Cuomo of New York spoke to Trump and believes he is “100 percent sincere” and “ready and willing to help.” This is a change of opinion from earlier in the month when he didn’t believe Trump’s response was good enough. Cuomo praised Trump by saying:

“The president is doing the right thing in offering to step up with New York and I appreciate it, and New York will do the right thing in return.”

Trump hasn’t had the best relationship with California Governor Gavin Newsome during his time in office either. He’s criticized him over sanctuary city policy, wildfires, and their homeless epidemic. Newsome has offered some fighting words back at Trump.

Newsome had a conversation with Trump on Tuesday and called it a “privilege” and said he is on top of getting California the swabs they need for testing. Trump also praised Newsome on their partnership in the following statement:

“I’m going to work with a number of the governors. Gov. Newsome has been very generous in his words, and I’m being generous to him, too, because we’re all working together very well and I think a lot of very positive things have taken place.”

The most shocking praise comes from Minnesota Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar. She’s one of Trump’s fiercest critics and a member of “The Squad.” Omar sent out Tweets that support President Trump.

This spirit of support and cooperation is what the country and the rest of the world need right now.

America will be leading the way to find a vaccine. Our leaders need to be on the same page to work through this. It’s a presidential election year, so partisan politics will come up again. Hopefully, that doesn’t get in the way of the fight to defeat this virus. Let’s praise the people who are putting politics aside for the time being. There’s plenty of time left for partisan politics after we get through this.
