OPINION:
It seems to me that in addition to the accomplishments for which President Trump has received credit (despite the screaming from the “progressives” and their lap dogs in the mainstream media), two huge achievements have been overlooked or buried. First, it appears that President Trump invented a new way to wage war without any American bloodshed: economic pressure that overwhelms an adversary (see Iran). Second, Mr. Trump’s policies have saved our hospitals and their associates through economic aid. After all, have you heard of any hospital going bankrupt because it was required to treat COVID-19 cases to the exclusion of revenue-producing elective surgeries?
If a “progressive” had done what President Trump has done in the Middle East, there would be talk of renaming the Nobel Peace Prize. If a “progressive” had done what President Trump has done for hospitals, the left would be pushing for a special congressional medal.
The simple equation is “progressive” plus mainstream media equals hypocrisy and double standards.
