Any offense is taken, it wasn’t given.

I never said there hadn’t been daylight looting, I said there has been a shift in the nature of the protests.

Organizers are arranging protests earlier in the day. They want peaceful marches.

Liz Warren was at the WH one yesterday. She wasn’t rioting.

Have a look at that pic I posted yesterday.

That same thing happened in NY, in Huston, all around the country... and all around the world for that matter.

Reports from yesterday show a decline in looting and violence. With more protests going without violence.

Tim Miller absolutely smashes this out of the park.

Thank You Mister Trump! Our Great President is crushing it.

This is not the sort of article you normally see here at The Bulwark, the world’s largest superspreader of Trump Derangement Syndrome.

And to be honest with you, I didn’t want to write it. But somebody had to. Because, my goodness, what a week it has been for Donald J. Trump. I do not say this lightly: This might go down in history as one of the greatest—if not thegreatest—demonstration of leadership the world has ever seen.

I had hoped that one of President Trump’s “just calling balls and strikes” defenders in the conservative media would have written this column so I didn’t have to but—and I know this sounds crazy—the cupboard seems to be pretttttybare when it comes to Trump attaboys out there on the internets. I mean, aside from Whiplash Survivor Association of America spokesperson Scott Walker.)

Maybe it’s because the folks in Conservatism Inc. are all just so awed by the president’s performance that they’re struggling to find the right words to describe its magnificence.

I looked around National Review, the Federalist, the Daily Caller, Fox News, and the Daily Wire. Lotta content about how bad the media is. None of the sites are very big fans of antifa. But not many pro-Trump attaboys. Trump couldn’t even get a pat on the back from Tucker Carlson. (Tucker was unhappy with the meager amount of antifa blood on the streets. Just you wait, big guy.)

Where is the commentary in support of President Trump’s red hot tweets? Why is it so hard to find a column praising Trump’s courageous decision to gas clergy members so he could hold a Bible in the air like it was a gross diaper he didn’t want to smell?

Point me to the analysis of his Six Sigma management skills juggling the twin threats of people upset about “police brutality” while also handling the economic and public health crises from the coronavirus that he, like a modern Cassandra, kept warning America about.

If this isn’t the four-dimensional chess Trump’s media cheerleaders are always talking about, then I don’t know what is. I mean, any president could hold an interfaith prayer service or try to “heal America.” It takes a special kind of leader to make sure that the peaceful protesters get roughed up while looters run free and then—just as a lagniappe—start an international incident with Australia.

Much respect.

I popped up onto the Twitter feeds of some big Trump defenders on the Hill to see if I could find some Real American Patriots over there. No dice.

Lindsey Graham thinks that Mr. Trump did a super nice job condemning Chinalast week. Gym Jordan was happy Our President was taking on the thugs at Twitter. Marco Rubio, John Cornyn, and Ted Cruz are Very Mad about how mean the media is being to the poor fella. Kasie Hunt cornered over a dozen Republicans yesterday and only Steve Daines was willing to give a meek nod towards the president’s leadership.

This baffled me.

So I put out a request for any examples of Trump praise that was out there, and got nothing but a bunch of anti-anti Trump media criticism. What does a president have to do to get some unadulterated love around here?

Why isn’t anyone telling the president that he’s doing a great job with his poopies?

So fine. I guess I’ll have to do it.

But of course, some people didn’t get it. They focused on the negative. The establishment neocon senators turned turtle, afraid that there might get some backlash from suburban voter pansies or . . . women. The reality is these Republican senators are just a bunch of soy bois who don’t know squat about dominating the battlespace or how to appreciate a good ol’-fashioned gassing.

And so in the greatest trick the president ever pulled, he gave them an out, using vessels like Brit Hume to create an alternate fact—that maybe this was all a big coincidence. This allowed the soft Trumpers to tell themselves that protesters just happened to start attacking cops a few minutes before Mr. Trump walked through. (lulz)

If those useful idiots need to tell themselves that story in order to sleep at night, fine. That’s the swamp for you. Trump will give them a cute story to tell.

But for the Real Americans who voted for Trump? The Silent Majority? This is what we signed up for.

The riots, the gaslighting, the tweets, the divisiveness, the blaming, the bravado, the tough talk, the lib owning, the trolling, the nakedly cynical patriotism and religiosity.

This is it. This is the good ****.

What’s not to like?

I'm not justifying their action, if that's what you are implying.

Nah, and I knew you weren't.

Everything about that arrest was wrong, and I especially don't care much at all for the police explanation.


Cops: But he was first over the fence, we *had* to arrest him.

Greg: Sure Jan.
 
What the holy everliving hell is this?

Lindsey Graham has dyed and styled his hair like Trump.

So the "peaceful" protestors got so out of hand that it triggered the White House security protocols that resulted in Trump having to go into the bunker.

I'm not sure you win on this one.

I like presidents who don't hide from their own citizens in bunkers.
