GORDON SONDLAND: I was wrong about Trump and Democrats can't stand it

Things could, and did, get worse for America aft January 6th. I served successful the Trump medication but I withdrew my enactment from the president aft that acheronian day. Four years later, I’m back. And here’s why. The Biden-Harris medication weakened our power, our pocketbooks and our values. After surviving nether this world for astir 4 years, determination is nary choice: We request erstwhile President Donald J. Trump back successful the White House. 

I’ve explained my alteration of bosom crossed the nationalist media from MSNBC to CNN to NPR. Yet alternatively of considering the contented of my argument, astir journalists person gone apoplectic astir my determination that supporting Republican policies is much important than punishing a erstwhile president they loathe. If Vice President Kamala Harris tin "change her mind" to soften borderline enforcement, wherefore can’t idiosyncratic connected the different broadside of the aisle alteration his perspective? 

I can’t excuse January 6th oregon the erstwhile president’s lackluster effect to that acheronian day. But our strategy stood, the riot quelled, and the transportation of powerfulness completed. 

Skeptics wonderment if there’s immoderate benignant of insidious crushed down my stance today. 

KELLYANNE CONWAY: DONALD TRUMP IS RISING FROM THE ASHES. HERE'S WHY TRUMP 2016 IS TRUMP 2024

They ask: Has helium offered maine a job? No. Did helium blackmail me? No. Do you deliberation helium won the 2020 election? No (sadly). Have you mislaid your motivation compass? No. In fact, my motivation compass heads owed northbound toward what’s champion for our country. 

As the twentieth U.S. ambassador to the European Union, I cognize and worked intimately with Trump. He’s a showman who likes to shock. That’s obvious. What mightiness beryllium little evident is that he’s besides a swift and thoughtful determination maker. He doesn’t hem and haw or, similar his opponent, request a publication to enactment connected message.  And dissimilar the different side, Trump cares astir fostering our country’s meritocracy, not mediocrity. He believes competition, not socialism, is champion for our society. 

Harris represents a enactment astatine likelihood with this perspective. Indeed, Democrats are staging a strategical battle connected our two-party antiauthoritarian strategy and pushing policies that volition further erode American prestige, pocketbooks and families. Harris has vowed to battalion the Supreme Court, destruct the filibuster, dramatically loosen elector regulations and empower unelected authorities employees to determine which cars we thrust and connected which stoves we cook. She wants to constabulary what our children survey and however we speak. She says she wouldn’t bash thing antithetic from President Joe Biden. That’s troubling astatine best.

It means Harris agrees it was astute to retreat U.S. subject forces before civilians from Afghanistan. I conjecture she’s excessively young to callback Saigon oregon wasn’t moved erstwhile hopeless innocents fell to their deaths from a U.S. craft escaping Kabul. It means she believes Biden was close to accidental that Washington wouldn’t respond if Moscow made lone a "minor incursion" into Ukraine. Talk astir giving greenish lights to dictators. 

'TREATED YOU LIKE GARBAGE': TRUMP USES BIDEN CRITICISM AS RALLYING CRY IN BATTLEGROUND NORTH CAROLINA

While Trump flatters atrocious guys successful nationalist arsenic a counterintuitive and strategical tactic, nary satellite person doubts his resoluteness for America. We request that benignant of enactment connected the planetary signifier because, acknowledgment to the disastrous Biden-Harris overseas policy, allies and adversaries alike uncertainty America’s convictions and are confused astir our positions. This would beryllium problematic successful immoderate era, but particularly worrisome successful the shadows of a rising China and expansionist Russia.

At home, Harris turns a unsighted oculus to overseas power that’s radicalizing our students to hatred America. She ne'er discusses the similarities to radicalized Iranian students who installed a fundamentalist authorities successful Tehran that chants "death to America" and sponsors 13 violent groups, including Hamas. 

Harris says she "understands the emotions" driving assemblage students who deterioration keffiyeh and telephone for the demolition of Jews. Would Harris beryllium truthful sanguine if Blacks were targeted the mode Jews were targeted? While I uncertainty Harris is genuinely antisemitic oregon wants to spot the demolition of the State of Israel, her actions don’t unrecorded up to that of a beardown protagonist of Israel oregon an ally. Her ambition for votes (especially among Arab Americans successful Michigan) has moved her dangerously adjacent to Hamas’ agenda.

Harris’ economical stance is arsenic appalling. She cares much astir distributing handouts to amerciable immigrants than supporting radical similar my parents, Holocaust survivors who legally immigrated to the U.S. and opened a adust cleaner wherever they worked for decades. 

She thinks contention should beryllium a qualification for jobs and advantages. Moreover, Harris is portion of the medication that used COVID-19 arsenic an excuse to needlessly pump an other $2 trillion into the economy, thereby ensuring ostentation and, successful essence, buying votes.

Despite the White House’s denials, anyone who market shops knows the outgo of surviving has skyrocketed. Not lone among mediocre people, but among everyone. One friend, a college-educated divorced parent with an enviable white-collar job, forgoes nutrient herself to bargain protein-rich steak for her teenage son. This isn’t the America our families request oregon want. 

Of course, the Democratic Party decries the value of family. Harris reflects this demise. She supports old-fashioned entitlement programs and taxation codes that promote men to wantonness their families. She opposes spiritual groups that privation to align concern practices with their morals. She encourages immature young radical to research gender-affirming treatments that can’t beryllium reversed successful adulthood. 

She routinely supports teachers’ unions that thrust anti-student, pro-employee governmental agendas. In a Harris world, teachers that can’t dispense aspirin without parental consent are punished for telling parents their kid is changing sex.

Taken collectively, the Harris docket and her alignment with the Democratic basal is an bid of magnitude much frightening than Donald Trump’s docket oregon behavior. This is not a conspiracy mentation oregon fearmongering. 

That’s why, adjacent with each of Trump’s idiosyncrasies and inflammatory style, helium is the champion enactment for America. His policies are right. The squad volition beryllium great. And fixed the choice, determination is nary different choice.
