If you can read the crap the Times’ Peter Baker threw at us in “In an Era of Deep Polarization, Unity Is Not Trump’s Mission” without getting the dry heaves and being tempted to destroy you computer screen with a hammer, you have a piece missing. Its subhead: “President Trump does not subscribe to the traditional notion of being president for all Americans.” KABOOM. Head exploded, brains on walls and ceiling. How date Baker write that? How dare the Times print it? This is simultaneous smoking gun evidence of Trump Derangement, incurable bias, and denial of reality. The gift link is here. Have a bucket nearby. Here’s the gift link. I don’t think the opportunity to read such malign, intellectually dishonest junk is truly a “gift.”

To state the obvious, Baker has the utter gall to make his fatuous assertion following a sort-of President who did this…

End of argument, 86 the piece, back to the drawing board: Peter old boy, this is an insult and a dud. But no. The Times printed it. Baker is using, once again, Big Lie #6 that the Axis, which Baker works for, has been using to dishonestly undermine Trump since at least 2018: “Trump’s Defiance Of Norms Is A Threat To Democracy”. Ethics Alarms has been pointing out exactly how big a lie this is since 2018 too: essentially, the game is that when any other President does something that Presidents haven’t done before, it’s innovative, bold, ground-breaking leadership (or “Norm? What norm?”), but when Donald Trump does it, it’s a dangerous breach of “democratic norms.” Barack Obama and the Joe Biden puppet shattered the norm that Baker is blaming Trump for rejecting.

Here is the real “norm” President Trump is rejecting, because the Axis gave him no alternatives (“If you have no options, you have no problem”): He’s the only President of the United States since 2008 not to lie about trying to be President for “all Americans.” Ironic, no? Trump lies about everything all the time, or so we have been told.

Donald Trump can’t be “President for all Americans” because an unprecedented number of Americans have refused to allow him to be. They have never accorded him the respect, loyalty and good will that all Presidents should have–must have, I believe— as they enter office. They refuse to allow him to be “their President,” but he is making every effort to do what is in the best interests of all Americans nonetheless.

Is he right about what is in his nation’s and his constituents’ (whether they like it or not) best interests? That is irrelevant. Every U.S. President—every single one—sought the Presidency because he wanted to lead the United States to greater success and prosperity, while improving the lives of its citizens. This virtue, incidentally, the Trump Deranged have refused to grant to Donald Trump, which is one of the reasons he cannot be “their President.”

Baker’s brief against Trump begins with his reaction to the assassination of Charlie Kirk, naturally, because this is, in the end, just another Axis “it isn’t what it is” spin piece to try to avoid the backlash and rejection the 21st Century Mad Left deserves…

…The first few minutes of President Trump’s Oval Office address after the assassination of Charlie Kirk last week followed the conventional presidential playbook. He praised the victim, asked God to watch over his family and talked mournfully of “a dark moment for America.”

Then he tossed the playbook aside, angrily blaming the murder on the American left and vowing revenge.

My reaction was “Good for him.” It is time that the agenda and “the ends justify the means” tactics of the Axis were called what they are, and the soothing, flagrantly dishonest rhetoric that the complicit news media dutifully reports without skepticism to hide its intentions was recognized for what it is, with the President of the United States clearly pointing a finger where it belongs.

Democrats and “the resistance” began advocating violence against Republicans and the Trump Administration early in his first administration. They allowed and encouraged the Black Lives Matter demonstrations even when they became violent and destructive. Then they deliberately crafted political show trials after the Capitol riot (that’s singular), set out to contrive ways to imprison the biggest threat to their power (you know who!), and declared…

…followers of Trump and anyone with the audacity to question the nutsy-cuckoo Democratic party agenda of racial preferences, open borders and decriminalization of serious crimes, and censorship of dissent as “fascists.” Next, the violent rhetoric and exhortations to “whatever means necessary” action resolved in two assassination attempts on Trump. Now it has sparked the assassination of arguably the most influential conservative after Trump. Yeah, The President said this is going to have to stop, because has to stop.. Sure he implied that the people responsible will be held accountable, because that’s the only way it will stop. Trump knows that the reflex Rodney Kingisms—“Can’t we all get along?”—are insincere and subterfuge. The Times is attacking him for not going along with the lie.

Baker really argues that it is virtuous for a President to say that he wants to be “President of all Americans “even if what he means is, “I want to be President of all Americans who support me.” “Mr. Trump has long made clear that coming together is not the mission of his presidency,” Baker writes. Yes, and that’s for the same reason that he hasn’t made ending hunger and crime and poverty and bringing the lyrics of “Imagine” to fruition the mission of his Presidency: it’s incompetent and unethical to waste time on impossible tasks.

Trump wants to be President of all the people in the sense that all the people, he believes, will benefit if the borders are secure, if laws are enforced, if unlawful discrimination isn’t wink-winked into policy, if the government is down-sized, if only women are allowed to compete in women’s sports, if the U.S. stops being patsy to the world, if public education and universities stop engaging in ideological indoctrination, if we stop wasting tax-payer money on futile efforts to prevent climate change. That’s how Presidents are supposed to think and act: only the supposedly beneficial policies change.

For the same people who have refused to accept Trump as a President to criticize him for acknowledging reality and being transparent about it is the height of hypocrisy.
