White House Press Corps Sinks to a New Low

At a White House press conference on Tuesday with President Trump’s doctor, the White House press corps (WHPC) turned the meeting into an embarrassing display of underhanded attacks.

The President’s doctor, who is a non-partisan military physician (he was Obama’s physician as well), revealed that Trump’s medical condition is excellent and that he should make it through his term with no problem. He did, though, recommend the president lose 10-15 pounds.

He also informed that Trump’s mental condition is excellent. But many in the WHPC were not having it. They poked and prodded the doctor for possible reasons Trump could actually be mentally unstable and mentally unfit to hold the highest office in the world. It was totally despicable and an indication of how some journalists on the left are truly unhinged.

It was an effort to humiliate President Trump but they actually humiliated themselves by vociferously trying to insinuate that there is something wrong with the president’s mental condition. What they actually showed is that they are the ones with mental conditions. Their ill intent goes beyond a mere dislike for the POTUS; it makes them mental predators.

They must think their efforts to bring him down will endear them to the mainstream media at large and other anti-Trump factions. Their bluster and Trump Derangement Syndrome shows a serious lack of journalistic integrity and ethic.

There’s sort of an oppositism here. Just about everything the MSM accuses or insinuates the president of is actually proven to be the opposite. The gains and real progress he’s made in his short time in office is simply unbelievable to them. This wasn’t supposed to happen this way, they feel. He was supposed to be unqualified and fail.

Even their attempts to tie his election campaign to Russia collusion have failed miserably. Indeed, some journalists are in such denial that he has been successful and continue to report the opposite. Of course they have chosen not to be connected to reality.

As Trump’s successes continue to mount, however, the left will continue to unravel.

No Fault of Their Own?

In a meeting between the president and some members of Congress on Tuesday, Trump encouraged both Republicans and Democrats to work together. It’s a nice thought but those days of working together are long over. Much of the Q & A centered around immigration reform and as many have suspected, Democrats want to attach DACA to the legislation. Republicans seem more than willing to work with Democrats in order to get a deal done on the most important issue Trump campaigned on.

Before any legislation regarding DACA, immigration reform or a pathway to citizenship is written, however, it is in Congress’ best interest to have a discussion and a debate about what all that entails, how it’s good and how it’s bad. Arguments need to be made for and against all the issues so Americans can understand what truly is at stake. The discussion needs to start by establishing that any immigration bill needs to include at minimum a border wall, an end to chain migration, an end to the visa lottery system, an end to the anchor baby perceived loophole, a clarification of the 14th Amendment, and a guarantee that there will be no pathway to citizenship without first going through the proper channels that legal immigrants had to go through.

DACA proponents insist that DACA recipients (aka DREAMers) are here through “no fault of their own.” No fault of their own? What about no fault our own? Why are the American taxpayers obligated to foot the bill for crimes that took place, which resulted in hundreds of thousands, probably millions, of not only DREAMers, but also their families imposing an enormous drain on the economy, social system and security of this country – through no fault of their own?

Why can’t anyone point out that although it’s no fault of their own, it’s somebody’s fault, whether it’s the parents’ or others and those responsible need to pay the consequences? Authorities should be able to enforce immigration law on those who broke our laws regardless of an unconstitutional executive order from a previous U.S. president.

Another argument for keeping DACA is that ending it would break up families. Well when somebody commits a crime, that sometimes happens. When an American citizen commits a crime and goes to jail, he/she breaks up a family. When somebody comes to this country illegally, gets caught and put in jail, that person broke up his/her own family. We shouldn’t make provisions for illegal alien law breakers.

It’s so disheartening and quite pathetic really that we have a Republican Senate, Republican House and a Republican president that can’t seem to get anything positive done. They seem to be trying to cater to Democrats. But why? The Democrats don’t cater to Republicans when they’re in control. Nothing stops them from implementing their agenda.

I understand big things take time but what is Congress doing? Why aren’t plans being presented? There are enough senators and representatives that multiple things can happen concurrently. One team or committee could work on immigration, another on tax reform, some on repealing Obamacare, etc. It doesn’t have to be one thing at a time. Let’s get committees to come up with plans and present them. Let’s get the balls, plural, rolling.

Maybe the fact that things aren’t getting done shows that some Republicans aren’t willing to support Trump’s agenda and make America great. But then again, after the meeting on Tuesday I’m not sure what Trump’s agenda is anymore.
