Negative Space: President Donald Trump
- Betrayal is bad advice
-
It makes sense that the beltway would want to depress voter turnout by working class voters. It’s a mistake for Trump supporters to do so.
- Better for being ridden: the eternal lie of the anointed
-
Whenever there’s a crisis, politicians and the media always tell us that if we do what they say, we’ll be all right. This is always a lie. And however often they fail and however many die from their ministrations, their wabbling fingers always return to the mire.
- California drought caused by lack of rain and progressive government, but mostly progressive government
-
Why does Donald Trump’s style work? Because the media has been trying to suppress conservative views for so long in order to allow crises to fester for Democrats to exploit. Now that Trump is also exploiting them, they don’t realize that their old playbook of ridicule isn’t working.
- The candidate we deserve
-
Do we deserve these two candidates? Well, we voted for them, and we listened to the media that pushed them on us.
- Clinton supporters, can we make a deal?
-
The left is refusing to look inward about why they lost the election, and instead continues to try to blame Trump supporters for just not being introspective enough to see how horrible their candidate is.
- Crony vs. Crony
-
The voters will look up and shout “save us!” History will look down, and whisper “no”.
- The cyclic transmogrification of the Republican Party
-
From Lincoln on, Democrats have accused Republicans of their own failings: hate speech, violence, madness. And the more the left recycles the same serpent’s lies they used against President Lincoln, the more the left turns Trump into the new Lincoln.
- Democrat Chris Murphy: Obamacare is “the end of health care”
-
From the mouths of hypocrites, comes wisdom. It’s almost biblical.
- Election lessons: be careful what you wish for
-
Republicans should learn from the Democrats’ mistake of the primary season: be careful what you wish for, you might just get… half of it. They wanted Donald Trump as Hillary Clinton’s opponent.
- Election lessons: The Supreme Court and the New Tone
-
If the left really wants to reign in Donald Trump, they should force him to stick to the list of potential Supreme Court nominations that he announced before the election.
- The eye of the insulter
-
The left has become so unhinged that they’re sending out promo photos for President Trump, thinking they’re insulting him. They seem to have a pathological inability to appreciate working, and don’t recognize a serious working photo when they see one.
- Failure theater in the Syrian war
-
Just when I think I’m starting to understand the Democrats’ new policies post-2016, they come out of left field and support war in Syria. Are they flip-flopping because of failure theater or because they hate Trump?
- Franklin D. Trump: What else can I do?
-
Does the left want internment camps for Americans of Russian descent?
- How did Donald Trump qualify for a middle-class tax break?
-
Trump qualifies for tax breaks because we have a complex tax system that encourages anyone who can afford to, to hire tax lawyers. Big government needs a complex tax system to survive.
- How the left transformed vulgarity into courage and elected Donald Trump
-
When you lose to Donald Trump, look inward, because it isn’t Donald Trump’s fault. The establishment left, especially the media, attacked Donald Trump just like he was Joe the Plumber. But Donald Trump has the platform to attack back. Doing so took courage, and the Plumbers of America recognized that.
- How to counter Trump’s immigration policy
-
When reasonable people are untrustworthy, it’s no surprise that voters turn to unreasonable people.
- Is job loss to automation inevitable?
-
We aren’t losing jobs to automation. We’re losing jobs to an impenetrable regulatory morass and artificial costs added by establishment politicians. Punishing companies for having businesses in the United States only makes companies not start up in the United States.
- Is Trump calling the bluff of establishment Republicans?
-
By appointing Republicans who have promised to reduce government into the very areas they’ve promised to depower, is Trump calling the establishment’s bluff?
- The Last Defense against Donald Trump?
-
When you’ve dismantled every other defense, what’s left except the whining? The fact is, Democrats can easily defend against Trump over-using the power of the presidency. They don’t want to, because they want that power intact when they get someone in.
- The media’s Trump hatred causes mass murder
-
The media’s desperate need to link Trump to all crimes may be encouraging mass murder.
- Obama vs. Trump vs. Hitler: A letter to my friends on the left
-
Sure, now that Donald Trump is threatening to take the White House, the left cares about imperial presidents. But unless they’re willing to oppose President Obama’s executive orders, whatever Donald Trump does is their fault.
- The Parable of the Primary
-
If Republicans are looking to be more Obama than Obama, they couldn’t have found a better cronyist than Donald Trump.
- Peace is a deal
-
Afghanistan isn’t the first time the left has denigrated the idea of making deals for peace. The left has never wanted to negotiate peace in the Middle East or elsewhere. They’ve always preferred unilateral disarmament. But without deals for peace, what we get is Afghanistan. Peace is always a deal. The absence of deals is barbarism.
- Republicans overreact to Mexican army visit
-
Recent visit by Mexican armed forces to San Diego brings out the worst in Republican lawmakers. Congress’s approval is at an all-time low following incendiary comments by prominent Republican representatives.
- Roundup of Reactions to the Democrat’s Latest Corrupt Lawfare
-
There can be no comity in the face of corruption the size of New York’s and DC’s. Lawfare is war, and it must be treated like war.
- Sentences they shouldn’t have finished… that way…
- The Weekly Standard has a semi-regular feature called “sentences we didn’t finish”. This is a sentence I read in the Weekly Standard that they really should have thought about before finishing.

- Should people dismantle their life’s work, to enter politics?

- A tale of two negotiators
-
If you want to see how Republicans in Congress fail to pass successful reforms, compare the House Obamacare “repeal” with the White House’s budget.
- Ted Cruz: The anti-extremism candidate?
-
Do we really have two political extremes, or do we just have two very close sides that talk extremely different? Politicians can combat the increasingly extreme rhetoric in politics by, first, doing what they promise, and promising what they can do; and, second, by using rather than bypassing the legislative process that the founders designed specifically to dampen extremism.
- There is no sanctuary without walls
-
Sanctuary isn’t sanctuary if you let everyone in. If we don’t have borders, we cannot provide sanctuary. The left’s definition of sanctuary means denying sanctuary for people who need refuge. Letting in both the people escaping violence and the people causing violence is to deny refuge to refugees. There is no sanctuary without walls to protect it.
- Trump and the January 6 defendants
-
There appears to be a concerted effort on conservative forums to blame Trump for not doing anything for the January 6 prisoners and defendants. Is it true?
- Trump and the media, the sequel
-
Donald Trump is deliberately playing the media to overcome their desire to deny airtime to Republicans. Will it work?
- Trump outsmarts establishment again?
-
You know, the funny thing is, how lousy most of your lies are. You tell violent lies, you tell dirty lies, you tell scurrilous lies about conservative families. But most of your lies are not very good, are they? Funny that so many smart people can work so hard on lies, and spend all that money on them, and, what do you think it is? It must be the money. It turns everything to crap.

- Trump vs. the Media: authenticity and humility
-
A meme running around comparing what President Trump wrote in the Holocaust memorial guestbook to what Senator Obama wrote shows a surprising humility in President Trump.
- Trump, destiny, and the flood
-
Is it God’s plan that Trump will win and make America better, or is it God’s plan to warn us about what we can do to make America better?
- Trump, tariffs, and the war on American workers
-
Why do so many American workers support Trump so strongly against the wishes of their union leadership? Partly because only Trump recognizes that we’re in a war targeting American workers.
- Trump’s rally: the media is the dog
-
I was at the rally in DC, and what I saw is completely at odds with what’s being reported.
- Two lessons for the price of one, for the Republican Party
-
The Republican Party needs to stop trying to make it easy for the press to derail their primary process.

- Who is Trump running against?
-
If Trump runs against Biden, he’ll lose, just like he did in 2020: by getting more votes but fewer ballots. It looks like Trump understands that. He’s not running against Biden. He’s running against the Democrats and Republicans who put Biden in power.
- Why now for the alt-right?
-
Why are people attracted to bullying movements today, when they weren’t yesterday? Because they see that bullying works.
- You want your party back; so do Trump supporters
-
You want your party back? So do Trump supporters. Whether Republican or Democrat, their party is either leaving them or has left them. They want their jobs, their religion, and they especially want their voice back. Trump promises to be that voice.

- The Don’s Early Light
-
“And he’s still here. That’s testament not just to Trump but to all the millions of his voters who are disgusted by how low the political class who perpetrated all the above have brought a once great nation. They’re not going back.”
- The Voters vs. the Party
-
“I haven’t been reading a lot of Trump indictment analysis by Andrew McCarthy, Jonathan Turley, Alan Dershowitz… They’re all great legal minds, but how naïve do you have to be still to think that America has anything recognizable as a ‘justice’ system?”
- What They Wanted
-
“The other night my youngest expressed a wish to see The Manchurian Candidate—the original, of course. And, as great as it is, its famous ending seemed an artifact of a lost and somewhat innocent age: a man is able to stroll into a political rally and access easily a high-up vantage point with a direct line of sight to the nominee. Couldn’t happen now… And yet it just did.”
