There is no subject in our National life that Politico, the digital journal, won’t promote the Progressive position. Editor John Harris has intentionally misread Donald Trump from Day One. Harris is now calling him great and hoping Trump will be a good President. Not a compliment. This is an intentional insult.

The article “Time to Admit It: Trump Is a Great President. He’s Still Trying To Be a Good One.” That sorta, kinda sounds like it comes from a place of good faith and healing. Psssh! Don’t be naive. The subhead gives the gamed away. “The most consequential presidents divided the nation — before “reuniting it on a new level of understanding.” Clever, no? Mr. Harris despises President Trump:

Donald J. Trump in his second inaugural address was everything his supporters hoped he would be: Breathtakingly expansive about his intention to reshape the vast federal government around his vision; raucously jingoistic in proclaiming that the country will do whatever it wants to advance its interests around the world; openly triumphal in asserting his belief that his survival from an assassin’s bullet and his victory show he is God’s chosen instrument to lead an American revival.

Trump was also everything his adversaries feared: Messianic in tone; lovingly protective of his grievances; wholly uncharitable to the people, sitting just feet from him under the Capitol Rotunda, who he defeated so convincingly.

Yes, Trump defeated them convincingly. We, the people needed to hear it and the Biden people will not hear it. Even if it were shouted at them. The Trump digs were glorious. From India Today:

“The scales of justice will be rebalanced. The vicious, violent and unfair weaponisation of the Justice Department and our government will end,” Trump said.

Trump began by saying that “The Golden Age of America begins right now”.

He pointed out that a “crisis of trust” confronted the Biden government.

“For many years, a radical and corrupt establishment has extracted power and wealth from our citizens, while the pillars of our society lay broken and seemingly in complete disrepair,” said Trump, attacking Biden-Harris in a campaign-style speech.

He attacked the outgoing Biden government for being unable to “manage even a simple crisis at home, while at the same time stumbling into a continuing catalog of catastrophic events abroad”.

He mocked Biden-Harris for failing to douse the wildfires in Los Angeles.

“They’re raging through the houses and communities, even affecting some of the wealthiest and most powerful individuals in our country, some of whom are sitting here right now. They don’t have a home any longer,” Trump said.

Trump wasn’t exaggerating. Those comments are mild. The border, the military, Christians, PTA Moms and Dads and so much more. In his second speech in the overflow room, Trump went even harder.

In the second speech, Trump went after the J6 Committee pardons, the murderers’ pardons, the crying lunatics Cheney and Kinzinger and the traitorous Milley. Excellent. More from Mr. Harris:

He is someone with an ability to perceive opportunities that most politicians do not and forge powerful, sustained connections with large swaths of people in ways that no contemporary can match. In other words: He is a force of history.

This is something his most ardent supporters — still shy of a national majority — have never doubted but something others, myself included, have been slow to reckon with. The inaugural address and a raft of hundreds of executive orders Trump has promised for his opening days in office make it impossible to avoid.

The Trump faithful know something important that Mr. Harris cannot grasp. Trump in an imperfect (like most of us), smart, patriotic man. He has heart and courage in spades. He is genius at sizing people up and he does not suffer idiots and grifters well.

The Politico readers on X don’t have the best reading comprehension. They thought Mr. Harris was to easy on Trump.

I don’t think most Presidents try to divide and then unite the nation. The division job is all the legacy media. Be Best.
