When will Trump critics be normal again? Megan McArdle of the Washington Post wrote a column, "When will Trump supporters finally say, ‘OK, this is not normal’?" What a coincidence. I was just going to ask her, when will opponents of President Donald John Trump finally say, OK, three years of temper tantrums is just not working? She began her column, "The left had an easy time settling on its attitude toward President Trump's supporters: a mixture of horrified outrage and sneering contempt. For many of us on the right, though, it hasn't been so easy." On the right? If more than two years of tax cuts, regulatory relief, and conservative judicial appointments are not enough to satisfy McArdle, then she is too superficial to bother with because she chooses style over substance. Obama was smooth as silk and dreamy. He also oversaw the most corrupt presidency since LBJ. Obama politicized the IRS, tapped the phones at the AP, and used the National Security Agency to spy on political opponents (unmasking, they called it). As for policy, regulations grew and the economy languished. His judicial appointments were disastrous. His going away present to America was to plant a memorandum on his successor that would trigger the Mueller Report, which handcuffed the new president. That is not normal. A conservative would concentrate on Obama's sabotage, and ignore any tweet that might upset her. Instead McArdle went Trigglypuff because President Trump canceled a state visit to Denmark after its prime minister publicly insulted him. Allahpundit, hardly a Trump supporter, wrote, "This past week is going to get its own chapter in all of the self-serving post-Trump 'I never really liked him' memoirs written by his cronies eager to rehabilitate their image once he’s gone. What’s interesting, though, is that as I write this the Dow is 'only' down 500 points, and most of that loss is surely attributable to China’s announcement of new tariffs, not Trump’s reaction. "That shows you the extent to which even people with skin in the game on Wall Street largely tune out his ranting and raving now. 'The president tried to order American industry to pull out of China via a tweet? That crazy rascal. What’s for lunch?'" Grownups are not trifling. Action screams louder than words. After all, Obama said you can keep your doctor. How did that work out for those who believed him? Which brings me back to my question: When will Trump critics be normal again? I worry about their mental state. The constant anger and hostile verbiage from the left is unhealthy. They need to take a break and visit the zoo or something.
