Another Assessment of Year One

For John, BLUF:  I totally misread the headline.  It is the author who is an African-American Mother and Veteran, not President Trump.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

My take on Trump's first year as an African-American mom and veteran

Well, of course it is Fox News.  This Opinion Piece is from Ms Kathy Barnette, 20 January 2018.

Here is the lede plus three:

Much has changed since President Trump took the oath of office on Jan. 20, 2017. But one thing has remained constant – the anger and vitriol directed at the president from the left, many Democrats, many in the media, and even some folks who call themselves Republicans. Few presidents have been so demonized and denounced.

The president has been accused of being incompetent, a racist, mentally ill, senile and corrupt. Investigations of his alleged collusion with Russia to win the election go on and on and on with no end in sight.

Use these guidelines to save more, make the most of your contributions and build a retirement income plan. The resistance to President Trump has gotten so hysterical that Jen Statsky, a writer and comedian who has written for “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon;” Parks and Recreation” and “Broad City” even tweeted that “if you support Trump you should have your children taken away, etc etc.”

Now that we’ve arrived at the one-year mark of the Trump presidency, I’ve done some soul-searching regarding my support of the man elected by the American people to lead our nation. As a black woman, a mother and a veteran, am I doing the right thing to continue backing President Trump? Is he really as awful – even evil – as his critics claim? Are his ideas half-baked and dangerous? Is he harming the nation I love?

Nice item, worth reading.  She points out that he is making a difference, and that is important.

Exit question.  Which group in America is most hurt by illegal immigration?
