Trump's Katrina Moment

I am repeating journalist cliches. Ugh.

I can't remember Trump's other Katrina moments but I can tell you all about this one.

The Left is pulling out all its tricks to gain full control of America. George Soros, Lebron James, Hillary, social media, news media, Hollywood, local police, The Democrat Party and mostly, Antifa and allied thugs. No one is bigger than the cause: Women, children, non-whites: if they are in the way of progress, they will be steamrolled.

Donald Trump's 2016 campaign had one umbrella principle. It was not immigration or trade policy or tax reform. Those issues were screeched by the news media but Trump's base saw a larger problem. The systemic corruption rooted in DC and flowing from sea to shining sea negatively affected every other political issue of the day. What the Left cannot understand and the media will not acknowledge is that Trump was elected as an anti-corruption crusader. A bold position of overdue reform is what got Donald Trump elected.

Trump has been in office for almost three and a half years. That is plenty of time to take action against Antifa and their allied thugs. It has not happened. We can make excuses and some are legitimate. The FBI and DOJ had been hijacked. Points taken, but that was a long time ago.

Through proxies, Trump has talked tough about draining swamps, unsealed indictments, the storm, blah, blah, blah. Big talk, not much action.

Three and a half years is long enough, Mr. President. Comey and Rosenstein and Yates are long gone. There are no more excuses. The time has come, Mr. President. This is your genuine Katrina Moment.
