THE NEW YORK TIMES OP-ED CAUGHT
MY EYE LAST WEEK BECAUSE IT
PERFECTLY CAPTURED THE
PREJUDICED HATE.
CHAOS IS CONSUMING THE TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION, SCANDAL AND
CORRUPTION ON EVERY SIDE.
THEY SPECULATE WITH THE
DISCOVERY OF CLEAR CRIMINALITY
AND THOSE CLOSEST TO HIM, AN
ECONOMIC RECESSION THAT HE WOULD
LEAD HIS PARTY TO COMPREHENSIVE
DEFEAT.
IF SOME COMBINATION MOVES THE
CENTER RIGHT AGAINST THE
PRESIDENT, IT'S END COULD COME
QUICKLY.
THESE ARE REPUBLICANS REMEMBER.
I KNOW IT'S JUST THE USUAL
UNHINGED NEVER TRUMP RHETORIC
BUT SOMETHING ABOUT IT GOT ME
MORE ANNOYED THAN USUAL.
THESE PEOPLE DRESS THEMSELVES UP
AS INTELLECTUALLY MORALLY
SUPERIOR BUT IN REALITY ALL THEY
CARE ABOUT IS STYLE, NOT
SUBSTANCE.
THEY CONSTANTLY PUSH.
[INAUDIBLE]
THEY SOMEHOW BLACKMAIL PRESIDENT
TRUMP.
>> HE CONSISTENTLY BEHAVES IN
WAYS, CONSISTENT WITH HIM HAVING
A HOLD OVER HIM.
>> HANG ON SECOND.
CONSIDER THE SUBSTANCE.
DAVID WAS A SPEECHWRITER FOR
PRESIDENT BUSH WHO WANTED TO END
THE RIVALRY BETWEEN U.S. AND
RUSSIA AND SAID HE FOUND
VLADIMIR PUTIN VERY
STRAIGHTFORWARD AND TRUSTWORTHY.
EVEN SOME OF BUSH'S AIDES REGRE
REGRET.
MEANWHILE ON THE SUBSTANCE, IT'S
TRUMP WHO ARMED UKRAINE, IT'S
TRUMP WHO SANCTIONED RUSSIA AND
IT'S TRUMP WHO'S TRYING TO STOP
THE CONSTRUCTION OF A GAS
PIPELINE.
THOSE FOREIGN-POLICY GENIUSES
CAN'T TAKE THE FACT THAT PRESENT
TRUMP IS ACTUALLY SUCCEEDING
WHERE THEY FAILED.
>> OUT-OF-CONTROL, EXCUSE ME,
YOU CAN USE EXACTLY THOSE WORDS
TO DESCRIBE THE IRAQ WAR WHICH
TOLD US WOULD LITERALLY LAST TWO
MONTHS, NOT EIGHT YEARS.
>> HE WAS RIGHT IT WASN'T EIGHT,
IT WAS 18.
ACCORDING TO BROWN UNIVERSITY, A
COMBINED COST OF THE POST 911
FOUND THAT HALF A MILLION PEOPLE
DIED IN IRAQ AS A RESULT OF WAR
RELATED CAUSES.
NEVER.
[INAUDIBLE]
BUT THEY CONDEMNED TO PULL THEM
OUT OF SYRIA.
IT'S JUST AS CLEARLY TALK ABOUT
THE ECONOMY.
THEY WROTE TRUMPS ECONOMIC.
[INAUDIBLE]
IT'S NOT AN ILLUSION YOU OUT OF
TOUCH IDIOT, THEY ARE SEEING THE
SUBSTANTIVE BENEFIT OF 5 MILLION
JOBS.
WAGES ARE RISING FOR THE FIRST
TIME IN DECADES AND GDP IS
TOPPING 3% AFTER ALL THE EXPERTS
SAID IT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN.
IT'S NOT SOME KIND OF COSMIC
COINCIDENCE, IT'S THE RESULT OF
HAVING A PRO ENTERPRISE, PRO-
WORKER PRESIDENT IN THE WHITE
HOUSE, DRIVING HIS TEAM AND
CONGRESS TO IMPLEMENT THE MOST
PRO- GROWTH POLICY AGENDA ANYONE
CAN REMEMBER.
THE PRESIDENT IS SOME KIND OF
CLUELESS BOOBY.
JUST LISTEN TO THE CONDESCENDING
CONTEMPT OF GEORGE WILL.
>> HE FEELS OUT OF HIS DEPTH IN
EVERY SITUATION HE IS IN.
HE JUST DOESN'T UNDERSTAND
VOCABULARY OF AMERICAN
GOVERNMENT.
HE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND THE
CONVERSATIONS THAT ARE GOING
AROUND AROUND THEM.
IT'S LIKE A 12-YEAR-OLD IN A
ROOM WITH PEOPLE WHO SPECIALIZE
IN MECHANICS.
HE IS JUST LOST AT ALL TIMES.
>> NO GEORGE, YOU JUST LOST THE
ARGUMENT WHICH IS WHY YOU RESORT
TO THESE PERSONAL INSULTS.
THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION WHICH
YOU FREQUENTLY PRAISE LOST OVER
4 MILLION MANUFACTURING JOBS.
MEANWHILE UNDER PRESENT TRUMP
THE NUMBER OF MANUFACTURING JOBS
HAS RISEN AT THE FASTEST PACE
FOR QUARTER CENTURY.
THEY AREN'T INTERESTED IN FACTS.
ALL THEY CARE ABOUT IS A CHANCE
TO DO SOME SELF RIGHTEOUS
PREENING.
>> THESE ARE BOLDFACED LIES.
>> IRONIC THAT SHE OF ALL PEOPLE
WOULD CALL HIM A LIAR SHEEN
WOULD CALL HIM A LIAR SAYEN
WOULD CALL HIM A LIAR SAYING SHE
WAS MEDICATIONS DIRECTOR FOR THE
WHITE HOUSE THAT TOOK AMERICA TO
WAR ON A LIE.
HERE'S WHAT SHE SAID ABOUT THE
PRESIDENT ON MARTIN LUTHER KING
DAY LAST MONTH.
>> HE IS IN HIS HEART, HE WOULD
APPEAR TO BE A RACIST.
>> IN 2005 WHEN THE COLD WAR
WORKED FOR THE WHITE HOUSE,
AFRICAN-AMERICANS MADE UP ALMOST
40% OF THE PRISON POPULATION IN
THE BLACK UNEMPLOYMENT RATE
HOVERED AROUND 10%.
PRESIDENT TRUMP WAS INSTRUMENTAL
IN THE PASSAGE OF THE FIRST STEP
ACT WHICH REFORMED THE CRIMINAL
JUSTICE SYSTEM THAT THIS
PROPORTIONALLY HURT BLACK
FAMILIES AND HAD SEEN THE BLACK
UNEMPLOYMENT RATE FALL TO A
RECORD LOW BUT HE IS STILL A
RACIST, OF COURSE, THAT'S THE
NEVER TRUMP ARE FAVORITE INSULT.
ANNA CALLED HIM A RACIST OVER
THE BORDER WALL AND SHE IS DEAD
AGAINST IT.
>> I KEEP WONDERING, JUST HOW
LONG HE IS GOING TO BE ABLE TO
PLAY THIS SAME SONG AND RECORD,
HOW LONG CAN HE GO BACK TO THE
WALL.
I THINK HE THANKS IT'S A WINNING
STRATEGY FOR HIM AND I DON'T
THINK IT IS.
>> EVEN IF I WERE TO GRANT YOU
THAT, THE POINT IS THE ILLEGAL
ALIEN CRIME RATE.
>> SHE'S DEAD AGAINST IT NOW.
ANYWAY IN 2008 ON THE OTHER
HAND, WHEN SHE WAS NATIONAL
COCHAIR OF THE HISPANIC ADVISORY
COUNCIL FOR JOHN MCCAIN, WELL I
GUESS A JOHN MCCAIN BORDER WALL
ISN'T RACIST, JUST A TRUMP WON.
GLAD WE CLEARED THAT UP.
ON IMMIGRATION JUST AS ALMOST
EVERY OTHER ISSUE, PRESENT TRUMP
IS IN FACT DEALING WITH THE
DECADE-LONG POLICY FAILURE OF
THE NEVER TRUMP REPUBLICAN
ESTABLISHMENT.
ON THE FACTS, THEY SHOULD BE
PRAISING HIM FOR THESE SNOBBY
ELITISTS DON'T CARE ABOUT
SUBSTANCE.
FOR THEM IT'S ALL ABOUT STYLE.
THEY HATE TRUMP BECAUSE OF HIS
HAIR.
THEY HATE HIM BECAUSE HE LIKES
MCDONALD THAT HE WOULD RATHER
WATCH TV THAN ASKED THEM TO THE
WHITE HOUSE FOR DINNERS WITH
POMPOUS SELF REGARD THEY SEE
THEMSELVES AS THE GUARDIANS OF
TRUE CONSERVATISM AGAINST THE
ASSAULT FROM THE BARBARIAN TRUM
TRUMP.
>> HE IS DESTROYING THE
REPUBLICAN PARTY FOR YEARS TO
COME.
>> NO, IT'S NOT HIM DESTROYING
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, IT WAS YOU
AND YOUR ESTABLISHMENT FRIENDS.
IT WASN'T TRUMP WHO LOST CONTROL
OF AMERICA'S BORDERS UNLEASHING
AN EXPLOSION OF LOW WAGES
IMMIGRATION THAT DEVASTATED
WORKERS AND FAMILIES, IT WAS
REAGAN.
IT WASN'T TRUMP WHO PUSHED NAFTA
SENDING MILLIONS OF JOBS
OVERSEAS, IT WAS BUSH.
IT WASN'T TRUMP WHO DESTROYED
THE ECONOMY, IT WAS ANOTHER BUSH
BUT WASN'T TRUMP WHO BAILED OUT
THE ANCHORS, SCREWED THE
WORKERS, SUCKED UP TO CHINA AND
FAILED ON NORTH KOREA AND KILLED
ALL FAITH IN THE AMERICAN DREAM.
IT WAS REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS
IN CONGRESS AND THE WHITE HOUSE
THAT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE
FINALLY CALLING OUT FOR THEIR
FAILURE.
OF COURSE IT'S TRUE THAT
PRESIDENT TRUMP MAKES MISTAKES,
SAYS AND DOES THINGS WORTHY OF
CONDEMNATION, BUT THIS NONSTOP
BARRAGE OF HATE FROM THE NEVER
TRUMP, IF WE COULD JUST SEE 1
OUNCE OF SELF-AWARENESS, OF
HUMILITY, OF CONTRITION FOR
THEIR OWN ROLE IN CREATING THE
