Michael Reagan: Don’t like Trump’s tweets? Democrats do much worse

You can question a lot of what President Donald Trump is doing to make America great again.

You can question his hands-on, let’s-do-everything-yesterday leadership style.

{mosads}You can question the wisdom of his public attacks on federal judges for making their decisions based on politics, which of course is what liberal judges do all the time.

And you can question his itchy, tweet-first, think-later Twitter finger and his stubborn refusal to admit he has said something that was factually wrong.

Like many of my fellow conservatives, I question many things about President Trump.

But what Democrats in Washington and elsewhere are doing is so outrageous it overshadows many of the mistakes Trump has made.

Watching Senate Democrats spitefully delay Trump’s cabinet appointments as long as possible, watching Chuck Schumer smear a nominee like his long-time colleague Jeff Sessions, watching Elizabeth Warren and her ilk grandstanding and pandering to the teachers unions—you end up cheering even louder for Trump.

Trump has four years to go and already he is under constant attack by the Democrats and the mainstream liberal media who care more about his early morning tweets than his plans to reform health care.

All it takes is for the president to send out a tweet and everyone to the left of Doctor Oz goes into a mindless frenzy.

Trump wants to be a dictator. Trump is threatening the independence of the judiciary.

Trump hates women, blacks, Latinos, gays, Muslims, and poor people. Trump is using the Oval Office to plug his daughter Ivanka’s clothing brand. On and on.

You get to the point where you say, “I don’t give a damn what he’s saying or what the media say about him. I’m on his side.”

What Democrats and the left—generously funded by billionaire George Soros—are doing in Washington and around the country is much worse.

I don’t know how much money Soros has spent, and the mainstream media are not the least bit interested in finding out, but who do we think is underwriting all those anti-Trump marches in Seattle, Boston, and London?

Alec Baldwin? Barbara Streisand?

Soros is not just an enemy of America. He’s an enemy of freedom all over the world.

I remember having breakfast with the president of Poland in 2009, when the Poles were celebrating their 20th year of freedom after the collapse of the Soviet Empire.

One of the first things the Polish leader said to me at breakfast was, “Who’s writing your foreign policy?”

I joked, saying, “Some of us think it’s George Soros.”

The president of Poland was joking when he replied, “That’s what we think.”

Nothing’s changed since 2009.

Soros is still funding the left, which blames America for everything wrong in the world and is desperately trying to delegitimize and cripple the presidency of Trump.

No wonder so many of Trump’s supporters say they don’t care about a flippant comment or late-night tweet.

Trump supporters know what’s most important about President Trump—he loves America. The political left does not.

They also like that he stuck up for his daughter Ivanka and called out Nordstrom for unfairly dropping her clothing line. Like Trump, his supporters know the department store chain did it for political reasons.

They understand that while Trump is president, before anything else he is a father.

It obviously wouldn’t hurt for President Trump to slow up his pace, do less tweeting and more planning, and communicate better with the American people.

And I worry that his CEO mentality and big ego will get him in trouble with the Republicans in Congress he’s going to need to get things done like tax reform and health care reform.

But so as far I’m concerned, after three weeks of warring with the liberal media and setting the Washington establishment’s hairpieces on fire, President Trump is doing just fine.
