Delusional Liberals : Seeing the World Through a Trumpian Keyhole
Patrice Greanville
Ever since Donald Trump became the 45th occupant of the White House, sanctimonious liberals and their numerous media—including overt Democratic party shills like the Daily Kos—have been having a field day with the Twitterer in Chief.
Mark Sumner does in this excerpt from the Daily Kos, about “Obama’s accomplishments” is grotesquely delusional or intentionally deceiful. Or just plain dumb. A rather normal finding when thinking about mainstream liberals these days. Incidentally, many liberals prone to lucubration think they can impersonate truth via pseudo-sophisticated analysis, or witty, scathing and snide commentary—a field they specialize in. The sad part is that kind of devious stratagem frequently works, deepening the confusion that now envelops the public mind like an unbeatable fog.

The piece critiqued in the above comment, appearing on the Daily Kos, can be found below:
I will not be made a fool of! Do you hear me?
When Trump ran into Christopher Ruddy on the golf course and later at dinner Saturday, he vented to his friend. “This will be investigated,” Ruddy recalled Trump telling him. “It will all come out. I will be proven right.”
“He was pissed,” said Ruddy, the chief executive of Newsmax, a conservative media company. “I haven’t seen him this angry.”
Not only is Trump obsessed over a conspiracy of persecution that includes non-existent phone taps, a cadre of “low life leakers,” and a press eager to display his every failure, he’s also being driven (more) snot-slinging crazy by the thought that he could be compared to President Obama.
Gnawing at Trump, according to one of his advisers, is the comparison between his early track record and that of Obama in 2009, when amid the Great Recession he enacted an economic stimulus bill and other big-ticket items.
Yes, by this point Obama had proposed, negotiated, renegotiated, and signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. That’s on top of getting the Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act signed within the first two weeks of his administration.
What has Trump accomplished? Well … he wrote a bunch of executive orders, one of which has already been blocked in court, and he signed a bill making it easier for energy companies to pollute both the air and water. Hows that hatey-wally thing going for Trump voters?
Trump’s young presidency has existed in a perpetual state of chaos.
Trump made a huge number of promises about what he would accomplish day one, but real governing has turned out to be harder than just screaming at a receptive crowd.
REMEDIAL READING
