The anti-Trump hatred and bombastic rhetoric is raging at dangerous levels, going so far as to incite murder by depicting a bloody beheading of our president. The lunatic liberal left as well as the nattering nabob neocons on the right share the blame for this despicable and disgusting behavior.
We the people, who detest this negative and America-destroying attitude, flocked to the polls and by a significant state-by-state majority elected the best president in recent U.S. history.
President Trump is not a Republican or Democrat president. He is a people’s president. We who chose him are satisfied, pleased, and even thrilled with his pro-people, pro-America achievements.
We the people in America have always prevailed and will continue to prevail despite the animosity hurled at our duly elected leader. Freedom will march onward and leave the current anti-Trump mob as no more than a blip in the dustbin of history.

Leading up to the 2016 election in which Trump lost the popular vote by nearly three million votes, and now a year and a half into his disordered and chaotic administration, it is patently false to claim that Trump is a “peoples’ president,” as does August Salemi. From what we have learned since his inauguration, Trump is the president for a minority base, comprised almost exclusively of white people. And as candidate Hillary Clinton astutely (though not politely) observed during the campaign, his minority of supporters contain a high number of racists, misogynists, anti-LGBT or homophobes, xenophobes, and nationalist christianist evangelicals – Trump’s cancerous base that is corroding our democratic norms. Then there is Trump’s offshore constituency, Vladimir Putin’s authoritarian, journalist-assassinating Russia, a committed enemy of American democracy. Former Bush 43 speech writer, the Republican David Frum, now predicts that the Mueller investigation will show that Russian intervention in the 2016 election did swing the outcome to Donald Trump, Putin’s candidate.
Mr Salimi, Its true that Mr Trump does have most people riled up. Its something that he excels at. New Yorker’s know him well, as evidenced by their poll numbers. He received seven percent of the vote in his home town. He has no experience in government , has surrounded himself with corruption and incompetence and really does not appear not mentally sound……… Plus there is a good chance he our enemy’s pocket….. It would seem to me that Trump’s followers prefer a self deluding, lying blowhard over a woman or a black man. For the good of our country I hope his popularity will mirror that of New York soon. I also hope that the politicians enable him or who have jumped in bed with him are voted out in November.
Wow, Mr. Salemi, you are very seriously misguided!
Trump is a liar, a fraud, a bully, and a very bad president. He is selling off our national treasures and destroying the environment as fast as he can to make his cronies happy. He started a foolish trade war that is going to cost farmers for years to come, and he is borrowing money from China to give those farmers $12 million in welfare to make up for their loss of Chinese contracts. He pandered to Putin in Helsinki and denigrated our intelligence services. He calls our long-time allies foes and talks up dictators.
I think there will come a time when you will rightly feel shame for having supported this con man.
Jenna — our taxpayer’s welfare for American farmers is 12 Billion with a “B.” And they already get subsidies from us donor states. I am sure Trump will go down (in 2 meanings) as our worst president ever. Millard Fillmore is knocked from his throne!
Trump is president for one purpose: to build up his tiny ego.
Hey, Genius, what has the idiot done that makes you think he is so wonderful? Name one thing he has done for the good of this country. The USA. Not something to line his own pockets.
