Andrew Klavan is great and if you aren't watching his podcast, you should be......here he discusses the 2020 election and whether or not Americans will choose reality in 2020....
KLAVAN: 2020’s Big Question: Will Americans Choose Reality?
In reality, the Trump presidency has been such a spectacular success that, if things continue this way, the only question that will come before the voters in November is: Do Americans actually live in reality?
The economy is now doing so well that even President the Donald can’t exaggerate about how good it is. New trade deals with our allies and – upcoming this week if all goes well, with China – have vindicated Trump’s nervous-making style of negotiation. Without any help whatsoever from the body formerly known as Congress, the administration has brought down illegal immigration and, after a victory this week in the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals, may receive new billions for the border wall.
And, of course, also this week, POTUS delivered a stunning blow to one of the world’s worst actors, Iran. Not only did he successfully order the killing of two of their top terrorists but, when the Iranians responded with a face-saving kabuki of vengeance, he behaved judiciously and wisely. After eight years of an Obama foreign policy that left the Middle East in flames and the terrorist cause ascendant, Trump may finally be bringing the region to the point where we can reduce our presence there – which is clearly what he wants to do.
If he keeps this up, Trump – this deeply flawed American original – may become one of our greatest presidents.
But again, that’s only in reality. And, of course, a vast corporate power, with an interest in preventing its power from falling into the hands of the deplorable American people, has dedicated itself to creating an alternative universe of the imagination in which everything is going oh, so wrong. Corporate news networks, social media, and entertainment are working around the clock to create a fantastical landscape in which Trump’s peccadilloes are mortal sins and his successes are catastrophes.
