President Trump’s Growing List of Foreign Policy Successes
By: Martha Boneta, Townhall, August 25, 2020:
It’s long past time for President Trump’s detractors to admit he has had quite a string of successes when it comes to foreign policy, and some are finally relenting.
The Washington Post’s David Ignatius, for example, had to admit President Trump hit a home run with the deal he helped negotiate for Israel and the United Arab Emirates to normalize diplomatic relations.
“This was, as he tweeted, a ‘HUGE’ achievement,” Ignatius wrote. It is viewed as an “icebreaker” that could open the door to other countries, such as Bahrain, Omar and Morocco, opening diplomatic relations with Israel.
Trump will go down as perhaps the most consequential president in terms of the Middle East in American history. He not only has stitched together this deal, he has gotten Israel and Saudi Arabia to cooperate on operations against Iran. He became the first president ever to fly from Riyadh to Tel Aviv.
He has defeated ISIS, moved the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem and taken out Qasem Soleimani, the Iran major general whose Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of Americans and punished Syria – as opposed to the disappearing “red lines” of the previous administration – for using chemical weapons on its citizens.
He has withdrawn from the disastrous Iran deal and stopped sending plane loads of cash to the world’s leading state sponsor terrorism, and he has begun to withdraw U.S. troops from Afghanistan and Syria.
And the Middle East peace plan his son-in-law and adviser Jared Kushner has developed is said to be the best hope for resolving the Israel-Palestine conflict since at least Oslo.
And that’s just the Middle East.
In this hemisphere, President Trump has withdrawn the U.S. from the disastrous NAFTA deal and replaced it with the US-Mexico-Canada trade deal, which opened new markets for U.S. farmers and manufacturers and encouraged the return of manufacturing jobs to the U.S.
He has convinced Mexico to place 27,000 soldiers on its southern border to prevent caravans of immigrants from traveling through Mexico to the U.S. border, easing the strain on our border and saving enough money to finance wall construction. So in a sense, Mexico is paying for the wall.
He has forged new and stronger relationships with not only Mexico but Brazil, whose president won because he was the most Trump-like candidate in the race, as well as Guatemala and others.
President Trump has taken on China like no one before and no one running against him for president could hope to. He investigated China for unfair trade practices related to technology transfers, intellectual property theft, and stealing American innovations under the Trade Act. He also charged China before the World Trade Organization with discriminatory licensing practices.
President Trump has stood up to all the forced theft China inflicts on American firms and then some. He has negotiated an interim trade deal with the Chinese, one of which obligated the Chinese to buy rice from the U.S. He walked away from a Phase 2 deal because he held the Chinese accountable for not living up to terms of the first deal.
He placed 25 percent tariffs on $250 billion worth of Chinese products, which has made them less competitive in the U.S. and forced pressure on Beijing to reform. But thanks to his strong economic policies, unemployment and inflation were basically non-existent before the pandemic, so Chinese firms, not American consumers, paid the costs of these tariffs.
That streak of light you no longer see above the Sea of Japan is the end of North Korea’s previously rather regular missile threats to its neighbors and to the U.S. The president went where no president has gone before – to North Korea – and also held two summits with North Korea’s leader. They didn’t produce an agreement, but they did produce an understanding – and the world is a more peaceful, less anxious place because of it.
In Europe, the president has strengthened our allies and stood up for our values. He insisted all members of NATO meet their defense spending commitments, and the head of NATO, Jens Stoltenberg, has said the organization is in as good of shape thanks to this as it has been in a long time.
He is accused by the left of kowtowing to Russia’s Vladimir Putin, but the opposite is more accurate. The president scored a major military victory over a group of Russian soldiers fighting in Syria. He also achieved energy independence for the U.S., which means we control our fate on energy prices and world supplies have reached a surplus.
Earlier this year, world oil prices dipped below zero briefly, and they have remained historically low. Russia, which relies on energy for influence in Europe and cash reserves for Moscow, has been deeply wounded by America’s assertion of energy dominance.
In addition, President Trump has worked with countries from around the world to attack gang activity and human trafficking and to promote religious freedom.
Trump was elected on high-profile domestic issues – cutting taxes, closing the borders, and deregulation. He has addressed all of these. But he also has been perhaps the most consequential president in our lifetimes with regard to foreign policy.
And it’s time he get the recognition he deserves.

August 29, 2020. “Moscow on the Hudson” The Upper West side of Manhattan where UWS libs ELECTED Mayor “Red Bill”DeBlasio: TWICE. But now, after 6 months of a forced lock down that has fueled the homeless population many of these progressive libs have become disenchanted. NIMBY is their battle cry.
The situation morphed into YIMBY Libs vs NIMBY Libs.
(However, the NIMBYS were not on the side of the angels)
[NY POST By Karol Markowicz] August 29, 2020 “The Upper West Side has been abuzz for weeks about the relocation of a number of homeless men to various hotels in the neighborhood. Many of the men are sex offenders and drug addicts. They aren’t receiving the more intensive services they need and the neighborhood has seen a steep decline in safety. The newly formed group Upper West Siders for a Compassionate, Safe and Equitable Community, which wrote welcome messages in chalk outside the Lucerne. […] also started an online petition at Change.org […] imploring neighbors worried about their personal safety — patrolling the streets to discourage midday open drug use and flashing — to stop being so mean.
“If we want to build a truly just society, we must be willing to stand up for those values in our own neighborhood,” concludes the petition from the YIMBYs.” The problems of homelessness GROWS and the lock down, the tyranny of despots has destroyed NYC businesses causing rampant employment and feeding the ranks of the homeless. Democrat/Socialists are destroying our cities. And on the 29th of August I took a look at the dogooder leftists who think chalk drawings will somehow heal hopelessness of homelessness. First: On my way to the Lucerne Hotel, I noticed a Banksy picture: Reading up on the artist, I found that Banksy has a connection to homeless out reach.
[NY Post Banksy] [NY Post Banksy] “Bansky graffiti on the Louise Michel, a migrant search and rescue ship operating in the Mediterranean and financed by the British street artist. Seen at sea on August 17, 2020.” [via REUTERS] “Art and anarchy have joined together aboard this vessel in the name of rescuing refugees. British street artist Banksy is financing a pink-painted former French customs yacht, sailing beneath a German flag, to help save migrants stranded between north Africa and Europe, the Guardian reported.” Once at the Lucerne Hotel (on W. 79th st.) I saw the impact these UWS Liberals – the YIMBYs – were having. Chalk was on the sidewalk. Everywhere. The messages ” ALL are welcomed” repeated in many ways. The local residents demanded the drug/criminal element not be housed in a residential neighborhood, but today they were silent. The YIMBY’s controlled the media blitz. SLIDESHOW But, it’s not just the UWS that has an issue with homelessness. 6 months later, there are more and more homeless and druggies on the streets of midtown as well. Some wander all day with their possessions, some sleep all day. Some just hang out. Empty hotels have become their homes. But social life, no matter where you are, is outdoors in a NY minute.
Side thought: Who would want to rent a room after these criminals, druggies and mentally ill have been running through the halls. SLIDESHOW APRIL/MAY 2020 Beginning March 12, 2020 when the government closed NYC. Locked it Down. Businesses, restaurants, theatres, bars.All were forced to shutter by government fiat. Previously, Mayor deBlasio had a homeless issue anyway . But, now it exploded. At the end of this album, I threw in a couple of archived oldies … of “deBozos” NYC. SLIDESHOW May 2020. Approaching Memorial Day weekend, businesses wanted to get back on some type of footing with alcohol to go; still the restrictions, the lock down restrictions continued. Economic ruin for many. As people try to recover, gathering on the sidewalks outside these struggling business to drink and socialize, the homeless stare back at you. SLIDESHOW JUNE 2020. What was supposed to be 15 days to” flatten the curve”, dragged on.The streets grew more and more disgusting. Often many possessions accompany the homeless. (Sleep seems to be an important need) A place to stop and rest. The familiar charging of a cell phone (while resting). And twice, I stumbled upon the moving of worldly goods by two sad homeless women. This was not a game…. SLIDESHOW JULY 2020. A popular corner for sleeping: an abandoned restaurant. Open or closed , the homeless set up shop. 42nd is a very messy home base. Moving west on 42nd, another cell phone charging while RESTING. Found a familiar homeless fellow pulling his “I’m so weak” ruse in the middle of Restaurant Row on 46th st. (he’s usually on a sidewalk) People try to help him with food and comfort.All he wants is money. Homeless Hotel on 44 st. And then there’s the theatres, offering a place to SLEEP for the homeless and drugged out. A moment of curiosity, a white woman – with her BLM/gay pride wheel chair SAILING – very fast- up 8th ave. (Only in NY) SLIDESHOW AUGUST 2020. Homeless in midtown. Are they just deep in an alcohol-slumber. Or drugs? The police are out and about, so perhaps the druggies have moved away, leaving just the sadly alcoholic homeless. Or the brazenly happy – like this fellow. De Blasio refuses to open the city. After the 15 day ruse morphed into 6 months and counting, businesses are moving out. Broadway. The hotels. Restaurants. All need tourism. But a capricious government leaves them sitting empty. No business. No tourists. NYC is dying. (So too the American spirit.) The Dems are determined to destroy our republic. But, it ain’t over til it’s over. Pray our country finds the strength to fight back. [Pictures and videos property of Pamela Hall]

pamelagellerreport--2020-09-10--“The effort to stop President Trump is growing comical”

The effort to stop President Trump is growing comical .
One always expects the media surprise leak of a purported hidden scandal as a presidential campaign winds down .
Remember the last-minute “ discovery ” of George W. Bush ’ s undisclosed 24-year-old DUI arrest in 2000 ?
Or the October 7 , 2016 effort of the Washington Post to publish the hoarded 11-year-old “ Access Hollywood ” tape , just two days before Donald Trump ’ s second debate with Hillary Clinton ?
We should expect lots of these “ bombshells ” and “ walls are closing in ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the most widely investigated , probed , attacked , and smeared president in history .
And so the scandal-field has pretty well been picked over , as those fired like Omarosa Manigault Newman , Anthony Scaramucci , John Bolton , and others have long ago more or less lectured us that Trump is nuts , crazy , dangerous , stupid , ignorant , and so forth .
In terms of bombshells , what does the Left do after the 2016 suit to decertify voting machines , the FISA court abuse , the effort @ @ @ @ @ @ @ first impeachment drive , the Logan Act gambits , the Emoluments Clause joke , the 25th Amendment ruse , the Russian collusion hoax , the 22-month-asleep-at-the-wheel Mueller and his “ all-stars , ” Ukraine !
Ukraine !
, the second impeachment drive , and the 2020 trifecta of Trump as Typhoid Mary , Bull Connor , and Herbert Hoover ?
The point is , in Jussie Smollett fashion , the demand for scandals is outrunning the supply and time grows short .
It ’ s no wonder that one of Joe Biden ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Jobs of the Apple fortune , who owns most of The Atlantic , had the former Obama Administration megaphone Jeffrey Goldberg exhume a two-year-old and long-ago-refuted charge that President Trump did not wish to visit a U.S. military cemetery in France because he variously was afraid of the rain , that he would get his hair wet , and that he did not wish to celebrate “ losers ” and “ suckers.
” All this was from a left-wing media that not long ago damned a “ militaristic ” Trump for being infatuated @ @ @ @ @ @ @ many in his White House , while needlessly spending billions on manpower and equipment to repair a military hollowed out by the Obama Administration .
The resuscitated scandal hit-piece was primed for all the left-wing cable news shows and supposedly would dominate the otherwise quiet Labor Day weekend news .
The problem was that the charge was calcified—and for a reason .
Security memos long ago had shown that the weather , not Trump , had deterred low-flying presidential helicopters .
Goldberg ’ s “ sources ” remain anonymous .
Supposedly they were @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fear of a left-wing Twitter ever scared off a left-wing scandal-monger ? )
, and thus could not be found or checked to determine whether they stood by their hearsay charges .
The presidential entourage of that day all denied Goldberg ’ s accusations , including Trumphobe and former White House insider and National Security Advisor John Bolton , coming off a tell-all book attacking the president as a nincompoop and a dangerous nut .
Goldberg ’ s work , then , is symptomatic not just of the growing desperation of the Left @ @ @ @ @ @ @ polling trajectory , but the poverty of the muck material still left to work with .
Expect more October “ smoking gun ” surprises surrounding Trump ’ s stale tax returns , a casino bankruptcy or two , a Mooch tidbit , a Michael Avenatti crumb , a retired general ’ s sudden memory recovery , or perhaps even an old undiscovered Stormy tweet .
The “ summer of love ” and “ largely peaceful ” tropes of late spring and early summer are now belied by the flames , firebombs , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fake news accounts , as journalists seem about to ignite as they assure us of calm .
Recently , there was another riot in Rochester , New York in which Black Lives Matter sought to destroy restaurants and attack diners as they ate—as a prelude to entering the suburbs , climbing roofs , and waking the supposedly largely complacent white “ racist ” populace up to their culpability for the rioters ’ unhappiness .
Their delayed anger grew over a just-released video of the death , six months ago , of an arrested @ @ @ @ @ @ @ custody .
That tragedy supposedly justified manhandling strangers with warnings of “ give us our shit ” and “ do not record crimes ” with cell phones .
These now nightly recurring riots and violence have a common theme : blue-state governors and blue mayors of the nation ’ s larger and middle-sized cities have institutionalized police procedures to detain supposedly dangerous or erratic acting suspects , which are either dangerous to the suspect or can easily appear post facto to be so on selectively edited or incompletely aired videos .
Local and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in their cities for endemic African-American disparities , asymmetrical crime rates , and the proper behavior of their worn-out and beleaguered police , who are called by frightened businesses and bystanders to remove often dangerous suspects from their shared communities .
The result is that suspects now routinely resist arrest , confident either sympathetic district attorneys won ’ t prosecute them , or police themselves will have to choose between losing their lives arresting those not willing to be arrested or losing their careers and livelihood in the effort .
We know the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to calls from crime-infested areas , and those arrested don ’ t think the police will use force to make arrests stick—and so resist .
Nor do liberal officials know how to tamp down often violent protests over such deaths that often target their own police forces , and sometimes even the homes of the mayors themselves who struggle to show their sympathy with the rioters .
Add it all up and officials either contextualize or condole the ensuing violence sparked by their own actions , or strain to condemn it by blaming @ @ @ @ @ @ @ our age .
Either way , it is not a convincing strategy to reassure torched businesses or innocent diners or demoralized police who are spat upon and made the targets of firebombs , that a more vigorous Joe Biden will tame fellow blue-state America officeholders and quell the violence .
As for the Democratic Party ’ s standard-bearer , the mounting anger over the sanctioned violence has not only prompted the media to exhume and enhance old saw Trump stories , refashioned as autumn campaign surprises , but also has forced Joe Biden @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do what exactly ?
The question assumes that there was not a reason why Biden was in his basement in the first place , near-mute for three months .
For a time , seclusion was a winning strategy because otherwise to see and listen to Biden is to conclude that he is non compos mentis .
In addition , the media had driven down Trump ’ s ratings by blaming him for COVID-19 , the lockdown , recession , and looting , and was playing out the clock by reframing the election as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .

And the more this does not work , the more vehemently it will be repeated .

The effort to stop President Trump is growing comical.
One always expects the media surprise leak of a purported hidden scandal as a presidential campaign winds down. Remember the last-minute “discovery” of George W. Bush’s undisclosed 24-year-old DUI arrest in 2000? Or the October 7, 2016 effort of the Washington Post to publish the hoarded 11-year-old “Access Hollywood” tape, just two days before Donald Trump’s second debate with Hillary Clinton?
We should expect lots of these “bombshells” and “walls are closing in” pseudo derailments. Except Trump has been the most widely investigated, probed, attacked, and smeared president in history. And so the scandal-field has pretty well been picked over, as those fired like Omarosa Manigault Newman, Anthony Scaramucci, John Bolton, and others have long ago more or less lectured us that Trump is nuts, crazy, dangerous, stupid, ignorant, and so forth.
In terms of bombshells, what does the Left do after the 2016 suit to decertify voting machines, the FISA court abuse, the effort to sabotage electors’ votes, the first impeachment drive, the Logan Act gambits, the Emoluments Clause joke, the 25th Amendment ruse, the Russian collusion hoax, the 22-month-asleep-at-the-wheel Mueller and his “all-stars,” Ukraine! Ukraine!, the second impeachment drive, and the 2020 trifecta of Trump as Typhoid Mary, Bull Connor, and Herbert Hoover?
The point is, in Jussie Smollett fashion, the demand for scandals is outrunning the supply and time grows short.
It’s no wonder that one of Joe Biden’s largest campaign contributors, billionaire Laurene Jobs of the Apple fortune, who owns most of The Atlantic, had the former Obama Administration megaphone Jeffrey Goldberg exhume a two-year-old and long-ago-refuted charge that President Trump did not wish to visit a U.S. military cemetery in France because he variously was afraid of the rain, that he would get his hair wet, and that he did not wish to celebrate “losers” and “suckers.” All this was from a left-wing media that not long ago damned a “militaristic” Trump for being infatuated with generals, and putting far too many in his White House, while needlessly spending billions on manpower and equipment to repair a military hollowed out by the Obama Administration.
The resuscitated scandal hit-piece was primed for all the left-wing cable news shows and supposedly would dominate the otherwise quiet Labor Day weekend news.
The problem was that the charge was calcified—and for a reason. Security memos long ago had shown that the weather, not Trump, had deterred low-flying presidential helicopters. Goldberg’s “sources” remain anonymous. Supposedly they were afraid of Twitter reprisals (when has fear of a left-wing Twitter ever scared off a left-wing scandal-monger?), and thus could not be found or checked to determine whether they stood by their hearsay charges.
The presidential entourage of that day all denied Goldberg’s accusations, including Trumphobe and former White House insider and National Security Advisor John Bolton, coming off a tell-all book attacking the president as a nincompoop and a dangerous nut.
Goldberg’s work, then, is symptomatic not just of the growing desperation of the Left to blow up Trump’s current polling trajectory, but the poverty of the muck material still left to work with. Expect more October “smoking gun” surprises surrounding Trump’s stale tax returns, a casino bankruptcy or two, a Mooch tidbit, a Michael Avenatti crumb, a retired general’s sudden memory recovery, or perhaps even an old undiscovered Stormy tweet.
“Summers of Love”
The “summer of love” and “largely peaceful” tropes of late spring and early summer are now belied by the flames, firebombs, and looting that often offer on-scene backdrops for fake news accounts, as journalists seem about to ignite as they assure us of calm.
Recently, there was another riot in Rochester, New York in which Black Lives Matter sought to destroy restaurants and attack diners as they ate—as a prelude to entering the suburbs, climbing roofs, and waking the supposedly largely complacent white “racist” populace up to their culpability for the rioters’ unhappiness.
Their delayed anger grew over a just-released video of the death, six months ago, of an arrested African-American youth, while in Rochester police custody. That tragedy supposedly justified manhandling strangers with warnings of “give us our shit” and “do not record crimes” with cell phones.
These now nightly recurring riots and violence have a common theme: blue-state governors and blue mayors of the nation’s larger and middle-sized cities have institutionalized police procedures to detain supposedly dangerous or erratic acting suspects, which are either dangerous to the suspect or can easily appear post facto to be so on selectively edited or incompletely aired videos.
Local and municipal Democratic officials apparently have no answers in their cities for endemic African-American disparities, asymmetrical crime rates, and the proper behavior of their worn-out and beleaguered police, who are called by frightened businesses and bystanders to remove often dangerous suspects from their shared communities.
The result is that suspects now routinely resist arrest, confident either sympathetic district attorneys won’t prosecute them, or police themselves will have to choose between losing their lives arresting those not willing to be arrested or losing their careers and livelihood in the effort. We know the consequences: police simply are not responding to calls from crime-infested areas, and those arrested don’t think the police will use force to make arrests stick—and so resist.
Nor do liberal officials know how to tamp down often violent protests over such deaths that often target their own police forces, and sometimes even the homes of the mayors themselves who struggle to show their sympathy with the rioters.
Add it all up and officials either contextualize or condole the ensuing violence sparked by their own actions, or strain to condemn it by blaming Donald Trump, the Emmanuel Goldstein of our age.
Either way, it is not a convincing strategy to reassure torched businesses or innocent diners or demoralized police who are spat upon and made the targets of firebombs, that a more vigorous Joe Biden will tame fellow blue-state America officeholders and quell the violence.
Biden Unbound
As for the Democratic Party’s standard-bearer, the mounting anger over the sanctioned violence has not only prompted the media to exhume and enhance old saw Trump stories, refashioned as autumn campaign surprises, but also has forced Joe Biden out of his basement.
But to do what exactly?
The question assumes that there was not a reason why Biden was in his basement in the first place, near-mute for three months. For a time, seclusion was a winning strategy because otherwise to see and listen to Biden is to conclude that he is non compos mentis.
In addition, the media had driven down Trump’s ratings by blaming him for COVID-19, the lockdown, recession, and looting, and was playing out the clock by reframing the election as Trump versus the media and the coronavirus.
But the strategy was not updated to recalibrate changing momentum in response to changing news cycles. And Biden became even rustier by his basement sabbatical. So now he is out and we are immediately reminded of the reasons he hibernated in the first place and should have stayed there.
We now witness surreal Biden press events. Questions are scripted from an “approved” list of reporters who apparently send fuzzy inquiries in advance and, like North Korean journalists, queue up to repeat them in public. Biden then either looks at his notes or a teleprompter for his canned answers, but stumbles through his responses. He often gives the game away by reading out loud his handlers’ prompts such as “end of quote” or “topline message,” while an uneasy rogue reporter occasionally blurts out loud in frustration that she wants to ask a question “not on the paper.”
Sure-Thing Polls?
No one knows the exact state of the presidential race. The polls are all over the place and many are weaponized. Scan Emerson, Rasmussen, Trafalgar, and Zogby polls, and Trump is near dead even or even ahead in some key states. Read the surveys discredited after 2016 like Reuters and Politico, and Biden is winning across the board.
But all pollsters seem to concede something is terribly wrong with this increasingly discredited institution. How can IBD/TPP assure us that in his favorability ratings Trump is down by 16 points even as Emerson shows us he is up by two and Rasmussen by four?
Something is rotten.
Either the pollsters are abjectly incompetent, or deliberately selecting flawed demographics that they know will reflect their own biases, and they do so to add momentum to their preferred candidate.
Or their subordinates who gather the data are massaging the numbers to reflect their own choices.
Or the respondents are deliberately misleading their questioners either out of fear or from spite.
The record of bias and error from 2016 might suggest all three reasons.
60 Days More of Scripts
What then can we expect in the next 60 days from the Biden campaign?
About every week or so there will be a media/Democratic/leftist fusion zombie scandal that suddenly arises from the past but with new unnamed sources and anonymous rumors, and pushed as the long lost magic spike to drive into Count Trump’s heart.
Or we will have more rioting, spreading to smaller cities in the manner of Kenosha and Rochester, all well-organized and aimed at suburban and largely middle-class whites, to terrify them that no one is safe thinking they at least do not live in Portland or Chicago.
These riots will be contextualized by Biden with the now-familiar damnation of Trump and police excess, albeit with a nugget thrown in about the need for peaceful change. And then we will see a campaign stop, press conference, or interview in which Biden will have the scripted questions, scripted answers, and inadvertently either read off his handlers’ prompts or go blank or confused for about a five-second mind-out.
The interviewers will try to carry Biden across the finish line by finishing his half-completed sentences, rewording and translating his garble, or abruptly changing the subject when Biden goes into screensaver mode.
What can we conclude of these desperate efforts to derail Donald Trump?
One, Biden really should have stayed permanently in the basement but now cannot.
Two, internal pollsters have frightened Democrats not so much because they believe Biden is behind, but because they advise Biden not to trust the media’s smiley polls, and don’t offer any strategy of how to stop Trump’s insidious trajectory.
Three, the issues of May and June have evaporated and now bleed Biden more than they do Trump. The virus itself slowly wanes. Better treatment ameliorates its effects. And the vaccine looms larger. The lockdown was more or less discredited by the exemption given thousands of violent protesters and the issue is now recalibrated as keeping 50 million children out of school. The economy did not go into depression but seems to be climbing out of recession. And George Floyd’s death increasingly has nothing to do with nightly looting and arson, as the rioters turn unapologetically Marxist, nihilist—and increasingly venomously racist.

The wall would help “ensure the safety, security, and protection of any sitting governor and the first family,” according to the governor’s office.
The government-owned home is receiving the increased security due to threats Whitmer has received in recent months.
Despite the new wall and electrified fence, the Democratic governor has a history of denouncing President Trump’s wall along the southern border, calling it “costly and ineffective” back in 2017.
“$40 BILLION for the wall,” Whitmer tweeted at the time. “Think how many kids that would educate, how many roads, bridges and pipes it would fix.”
Michigan became a hotbed of controversy because of Whitmer’s extended stay-at-home orders earlier this year. Protests to reopen formed in Lansing in the spring, including one protest in which people carrying rifles and other long guns gathered in the House chamber and shouted at legislators.
In April, thousands of protesters also flooded the state’s capital in their cars while flying “Trump 2020” and American flags to protest coronavirus-focused restrictions they said are excessive.

More unprecedented peace in the Trumpian era. Every day, historic, history-defining achievements are being ignored by the mainstream media, while they write whole fiction tales — books, even — trying to destroy the President. It is like nothing we have ever seen in our lifetime.
Think about it — Middle East Peace, UAE, Malawi, Chad, Saudi flyovers, Bahrain, the Arab League rejecting Palestinian demand to condemn Israel-UAE deal.
Greece-Cyprus-Israel is a natural coalition considering our collective histories of persecution, oppression and genocide by the annihilationist Caliphate.

Bob Woodward had my quotes for many months. If he thought they were so bad or dangerous, why didn’t he immediately report them in an effort to save lives? Didn’t he have an obligation to do so? No, because he knew they were good and proper answers. Calm, no panic! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 10, 2020
Another vicious hit piece from the enemy press against President Trump. This time it comes from Bob Woodward of the Washington Post. The MSM will stop at nothing to get Joe Biden elected, so expect these smear campaigns to continue until election day. In the interim, we don’t have any indication as to when the Durham Report will be released. In fact, at this point, one has to wonder if the Durham Report will ever be released to the public? It’s a joke. Perhaps America has a two tiered justice system. One for the Liberal elites and one for everyone else.
Q: "Did you mislead the public?" President Trump: "Well, I think if you said in order to reduce panic, perhaps that's so. The fact is, I'm a cheerleader for this country. I love our country and I don't want people to be frightened. I don't want to create panic." pic.twitter.com/NNbnkPz346 — CSPAN (@cspan) September 9, 2020

McEnany defends Trump after Woodward book claims he said coronavirus ‘deadly,’ despite publicly downplaying it By Fox News, September 9, 2020 White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany defended President Trump on Wednesday after a book by journalist Bob Woodward claimed Trump said he knew the coronavirus was “deadly” but went to great lengths to downplay the virus in public. “When you are facing insurmountable challenges, it is important to express confidence, it is important to express calm,” McEnany told reporters in a briefing from the White House. “He makes clear that he doesn’t want to see chaos, by the way, which is the second part of the quote which you failed to read,” she continued, addressing a reporter who had read part of the quote. “The president just days after having this discussion with Bob Woodward, said this from this podium, on March 30, he said, ‘I do want them to stay calm, we are doing a great job, if you look at the individual statements they are all true, stay calm, it will go away but it’s important to stay calm,’” the press secretary said. “So this president does what leaders do — good leaders — it’s stay calm and resolute at a time when you face an insurmountable challenge.” According to Woodward, as recounted in The Washington Post, the president received a warning from national security adviser Robert O’Brien on Jan. 28 that the coronavirus epidemic would be the “biggest national security threat” of his presidency. “The president reportedly told Woodward in a Feb. 7 call, ‘You just breathe the air and that’s how it’s passed. And so, that’s a very tricky one. That’s a very delicate one. It’s also more deadly than even your strenuous flu,’” The Post reported. “This is deadly stuff,” the president added. But on Feb. 26, Trump told Americans that coronavirus is “like a flu.” “This is a flu. This is like a flu,” the president said in a briefing. “It’s a little like a regular flu that we have flu shots for. And we’ll essentially have a flu shot for this in a fairly quick manner.” The quotes came from recordings from Woodward conversations with Trump available on the Post’s website. On why Trump sat down with Woodward, McEnany said Wednesday it was because he has been the “most transparent president in history.” Trump on March 19 told Woodward, “I wanted to always play it down.” He had declared a national emergency over the virus days earlier, but also said, “I still like playing it down, because I don’t want to create a panic.”
