Anti-Trump attacks grow uglier but president gains in these critical states

Gov. Andrew Cuomo blames the president for COVID-19 deaths in his state of New York while his brother, CNN’s Chris Cuomo, says House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., fell “under Trump’s influence,” which caused her to illicitly visit a hair salon. Seriously.

Trump is narrowing Biden’s lead even as the liberal media works overtime to expunge Joe Biden’s long history of lying and plagiarizing that in a more honest era booted him from a prior presidential contest. The press also downplays Tara Reade’s accusation that Biden assaulted her, the candidate’s obvious fragility, and his policy flip-flops.

Democrats claimed it was not enough, but for those struggling to survive, $300 billion is better than nothing.

Similarly, earlier this year, Democrats refused to sign onto a police reform bill crafted by Republican Sen. Tim Scott. They didn’t want to lose control of this wedge issue. Consequently, no bill was passed.

Trump supporters are infuriated by the endless obstruction from Democrats, and impressed that notwithstanding their ongoing efforts to derail this president, he has accomplished a great deal.

Those who back him support:

• His pushback against China and efforts to reset our trade relations with that hostile nation;
• His history-making Mideast peace deals between Israel and Gulf nations, which could permanently reduce that region’s hostilities;
• Our exit from the Paris climate accord, a multi-nation agreement uniquely harmful to the U.S.
• His willingness to chop through entangling regulation that stifled business investment during the Obama-Biden years;
• The significant and needed tax overhaul delivered by the GOP Senate;
• The passage of criminal justice reform;
• His efforts to boost school choice and allow families in every income bracket – not just our wealthiest citizens – better alternatives for their children;
• His embrace of opportunity zones, which have poured investment dollars into our most underserved neighborhoods;
• The remarkable growth in jobs, including 400,000 in manufacturing, accomplished during the first three years of his tenure;
• The push to get our NATO partners to increase their spending;
• The rewrite of our trade agreements, most notably the passage of USMCA, aka a more favorable NAFTA;
• His appointment of hundreds of new judges committed to defending our Constitution and two new Supreme Court justices;
• The improved management of our southern border and a significant reduction in the number of people illegally entering our country.

This baker’s dozen of achievements is remarkable, and incomplete. The president has also wrested billions to rebuild our depleted military, improved the medical care of our veterans and created the Space Force.

While Trump has been putting America first, the Left has been burning down our cities, tearing down our monuments, rewriting our history and defaming our heroes, while silencing all who oppose them.

Democrats – and Joe Biden – have been complicit in these affronts to our nation and our pride; their months of silence have encouraged blue cities and states to tolerate these outrages. Americans across the political spectrum are offended, and alarmed. People of color have borne the brunt of the destruction, as violence wracks minority neighborhoods and minority-owned businesses.
