FOR TRUMP, EVERYTHING TURNS ON 2018

W ith markets reaching record highs, unemployment at its lowest rate in 16 years, and an economy that appears poised for a 2018 boom, one might expect a lull in the media’s anti-Trump hysteria. But the opposite has occurred. The so-called “Never Trump” movement has now added “at all costs” to its mantra.

They want him gone. That’s because nothing upsets them more than Trump’s success.

With the passage of new tax-reform legislation, and many major corporations giving their hardworking middle-class employees bonus checks, the Left’s anti- Trump urgency has only increased. And the fight over the merits of this presidency is only going to get more desperate as he racks up victories.

The prospect of a successful Trump presidency is utterly horrifying to the mainstream press. They have made their feud with the commander in chief deeply personal. Major news outlets have staked their credibility on a wild-eyed conspiracy about Trump working with the Russians to subvert an election. There is no middle ground here. Either Trump is the Kremlin’s candidate, or the liberal media have engaged in an orgy of flagrant propaganda that will never be forgotten. And so we have the high stakes of our current political climate.
