As the new president begins his second week in office, Democrat leadership, George Soros and the MSM are having a field day. That's because the POTUS has given them an issue to rally against, protest about, and in Chuck Schumer’s case, even shed some tears; the immigration ban.  

Their only problem is that the majority of voters who put him into office generally believe that Trump's actions are correct and appropriate for the situation at hand.

Laila Kearney writes @reuters.com: “Many of President Donald Trump’s core political supporters had a simple message on Sunday for the fiercest opponents of his immigration ban: Calm down. 

“The relaxed reaction among the kind of voters who drove Trump’s historic upset victory - working- and middle-class residents of Midwest and the South - provided a striking contrast to the uproar that has gripped major coastal cities, where thousands of protesters flocked to airports where immigrants had been detained.” 

As an example of acceptance, Jo Ann Tieken a 72 year old woman from a St. Louis suburb, “characterized the president as bringing reason into an overheated debate”, saying, “Somebody has to stand up, be the grown up and see what we can do better to check on people coming in. I’m all for everybody to stop and take a breath … Just give it a chance.” 

And there, we have the difference. Because once again, Trump has taken practical reality's into consideration and then come up with a solution to a major problem. And while the problems that have arisen can all be fixed in time, the few temporary setbacks are far better than wide open, unbridled entry into the nation by anyone from anywhere.   

That’s probably why political analysts said that “allegations of operational or administrative blunders may do little to dampen enthusiasm for a president who rose to power on a populist and protectionist platform.” 

“Louise Ingram, a 69-year-old retiree from Troy, Alabama, said she forgave the new administration a few "glitches," such as widespread confusion over treatment of green card holders, as it moved to protect U.S. citizens from attacks. 

"I'm not opposed to immigrants," she said. "I just want to make sure they are safe to come in." 

According to a senior Trump administration official, political considerations had little to do with the executive orders at all. Instead they’re a reaction to the 2015 mass shooting in San Bernardino, California; the Boston Marathon bombing; and multiple attacks by radicalized groups in Europe. 

Another Trump official said: “The reality is that the situation that exists today in parts of France, Germany and parts of Belgium is not a situation that we want replicated inside the United States.” Which is an acutely logical reaction to what’s been unequivocally causing death and destruction within the European nations mentioned. 

Public acceptance of Trump’s actions were further confirmed by University of Virginia political science professor Larry Sabato who said the  “weekend protests over the executive orders would not hurt Trump politically. His base is as firm as ever. What he’s lost in the very early polls is the Republicans who were never Trumpers and ended up voting for Trump.” 

On the other extreme, as reported by Caitlin Yilek @washingtonexaminer.com, Chuck Schumer called for the executive order to be reversed "immediately" and suggested that a bipartisan group of lawmakers could introduce legislation to overturn the immigration ban.
"If we get a few more Republicans, I think we might be able to pass legislation," he said.

And if that actually happens, Schumer and whoever joins him, will have handed Trump talking points that might very well help pave his way to reelection although he’s barely started his term in office. 

Because while trying to score political points with his shrinking base, what Schumer's really saying is that he and his compatriots don’t care who enters the nation, where they come from or what their intentions are, friend or foe. And what’s more, no one should bother to check.  

At the same time, Schumer's also ignoring the desires of all those who voted for Trump, leaving no middle-ground while simultaneously insulting and demeaning everyone who dedicated themselves to entry via the nation’s immigration policy’s, rules and regulations.       

Thus, its no wonder that most of Middle-America wants no part of Schumer, his party or the danger he willingly exposes them to simply to please his voting base. 

In terms of the actual trends presently occurring, a definitive acceptance of the move toward a more conservative general public came from Carlos Greer @pagesix.com via Drudge today. 

Greer writes about media insiders “buzzing” that Andy Lack,  chairman of NBC News and MSNBC, wants NBC to become “the next Fox News” after poaching Greta Van Susteren and Megyn Kelly from the network. 

A source said: “He believes he’s building MSNBC and NBC into the next Fox. It seems the network wants to take a more conservative tone.” 

Meaning that, after continual attempts to print and broadcast leftist propaganda, an experienced media leader finally acknowledges that the majority of public opinion not only believes otherwise, but now wishes to attune his network to their thinking. 

It’s also highly likely, now that NBC News is breaking away from the left in its coverage, that there will be more to follow. Which is another clear indication of the self-defeating aspects of political throwbacks like Schumer, who insist on ignoring reality while appeasing an ever-shrinking base. 

On the other hand, after getting himself elected against overwhelming odds, Trump may wind up bringing the MSM into the real world too. Provided they truly want to remain in business.  

That’s it for today folks.
