Senator Bob Corker of Tennessee has made some very disparaging remarks about President Trump. But there's one major problem about these remarks. They simply aren't true. They sound a lot like the silly poppycock that the left keeps coming up within their ceaseless attempt to discredit Trump, and regain power in the 2018 and 2020 elections.
When politicians say things that are FALSE, they brand themselves as either liars or idiots. I'll give Corker the benefit of the doubt (for now) that he's not meaning to lie to us. He said " Trump has not yet been able to demonstrate the stability, no the competence that he needs to demonstrate in order to be successful" Problem is Trump HAS been very successful. All one need do is not succumb to the lamestrain media and its constant attack mode, and just look objectively at the facts of the last 8 months
During this time, the economy has improved significantly, as Trump has freed us from the Obama .disaster of TPP, and other harmful economic blunders. He has succeeded to protect us (better than before) by getting his Muslim countries travel/immigration ban. Illegal immigration has plunged to much lower levels, as Trump has abolished the Obama inspired "catch & release" methodology, together with Mexicans et al, just deciding not to come here for fear of being caught and deported (a major turnaround from Obama's illegal alien friendly).
Affirmative Action, long a disgrace to our fairness record, and a shame of racial discrimination is finally under serious attack by the Trump administration. Syria, stepped across Trump's red line concerning chemical weapons, and paid for it by being attacked. Even North Korea has now backed down, after weeks of missle tests, and threats against the US, due entirely to Trump's toughness and firm outspokenness.The contrast with weak former presidents couldn't be more stark.
These are important successes for Trump, and they are just the tip of the iceberg. Corker is way off base in his remarks, and he had done noting but make a fool out of himself.
