Anti-Trump Hysteria is Turning Democrats Into Warmongers
The ghost of John McCain has risen to possess the most unlikely host: the Democrats. Trump’s magical aura seems to automatically turn anyone with a (D) in front of their names against him. This occurs regardless of his policy decision. Orange man is always bad. Doesn’t matter what he did, has done, or will do. Orange man is bad, even when orange man is creating a world where fewer people die.
Trump has had a foreign policy record so far that makes me glad to call him my president, even as a staunch anarchist. Trump’s decision to pull out of Syria lead to me impulse-buying a MAGA hat. In addition to that bit of excellent news, he has pulled half of our troops out of Afghanistan. With McCain out of the picture and Mattis sulking in the capitol hill bathrooms, the true meaning of “America First” can come to fruition.
A recent Gallup poll reported that Democrats are now in the lead when it comes to believing that the United States should be the global hegemon. Long gone are the days of pot-smoking hippies espousing love and peace. Here to stay is the new archetypal Democrat: one that believes America is in charge, and if you don’t like it, you can leave!
Trump’s reversals of foreign policy since the Obama era has caught him a lot of flack from Democrats. 92% of Democrats completely oppose Trump’s foreign affairs. He’s pulling us out of international agreements and slowly releasing the Bush-infested tentacle grip slithering into the Middle East thirsting for oil.
The poll compares data from 2010 and 2018. Over the 8 years, 6% more of Republicans have agreed with the sentiment that the U.S. should be the global leader. The Democrats trumped this number with a whopping 20% increase. Gallup explains why:
Now, given the improvement in a number of economic measures, the proportion who say the nation’s most important problem is economic has dwindled to 13%. Meanwhile, the past two years have seen foreign affairs thrust into the consciousness of Americans time and again through the actions of Trump and his administration. Trump’s heavy-handed diplomacy with allies in Europe, Canada and Mexico, contrasted with his light-handed approach to North Korea, Saudi Arabia and Russia, has stirred controversy on a regular basis.
Cognitive dissonance is not fun. When the media has hammered into your mind time and time again that Trump will always do the wrong thing, it makes it impossible for you to see when he does the right thing. This is inevitably only going to lead to more and more cognitive dissonance. American interventionism is and always has been a disaster. When we aim to find our freedoms in some far away underdeveloped country, we only seem to make matters worse for the locals.
Here’s to hoping Trump can keep up this anti-interventionist streak and that Venezuela doesn’t turn into another disaster for the American empire.

Melania Trump’s New Perfume Is In Stores Now
Washington DC – While husband Donald is out and about rubbing shoulders with the world’s worst despots, First Lady Melania Trump is working deligently on her Be Best campaign and launching her new fragrance Careless.
The White House’s site summarizes Be Best this way:
The mission of BE BEST is to focus on some of the major issues facing children today, with the goal of encouraging children to BE BEST in their individual paths, while also teaching them the importance of social, emotional, and physical health. BE BEST will concentrate on three main pillars: well-being, social media use, and opioid abuse.
BE BEST will champion the many successful well-being programs that provide children with the tools and skills required for emotional, social, and physical health. The campaign will also promote established organizations, programs, and people who are helping children overcome some of the issues they face growing up in the modern world.
Melania’s new scent Careless just happens to be unveiled as the Be Best campaign is getting off the ground.
People are scratching their collective heads. Is Melania Trump trolling America and the world? Is Careless a look into the heart of the Trump administration? Is Russian President Vladimir Putin behind the scent’s early success in Mother Russia?
Andrew Canard is a longtime fragrance insider. “Nothing surprises me in the world of high powered aromas and/or the Trumps. Is this a joke? If so, it smells,” he said.

Trump to Address Conservative Conference
U.S. President Donald Trump will address a friendly audience Saturday at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference, capping a tumultuous week highlighted by failed talks at a summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and damning testimony before Congress by former personal attorney Michael Cohen.
The conference promises to be a welcome diversion for Trump, as Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into the Trump campaign’s possible collusion with Russia appears to be coming to a conclusion.
It will be the Republican president’s third consecutive appearance since he has been in office at the three-day conference at National Harbor in Maryland, just outside Washington, where anti-socialism has been the overriding theme.
Vice President Mike Pence delivered a speech at the conference on Friday, accusing Democrats of making a “hard left turn” before the 2020 elections and saying voters must choose “between freedom and socialism.”
While the crowded field of Democratic presidential hopefuls includes progressives like Senators Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren and Cory Booker, there are no shortage of moderate establishment hopefuls such as former Vice President Joe Biden, who is widely expected to join the race.
Some Democrats have openly embraced issues such as expanding health care coverage, combating climate change and debt-free college. Republicans have frequently labeled them as radical leftists and their agenda as costly socialist, business-unfriendly programs.
Trump is expected to be praised at the conference, primarily for fighting illegal immigration, nominating conservative judges and limiting the influence of the federal government.
