While those on the left continue to seek ways to disparage and demean the new POTUS, the passage of time exposes the untruthfulness of much, if not most, of their suspicious claims.  

A prime example appeared today @FoxNews.com in an article titled: “Sweden Democrats: Trump was right”

The text begins by reporting that two leading Swedish politicians, Jimmie Akesson and Mattias Karlsson, “both leaders of the Sweden Democrats, penned a Wall Street Journal op-ed on Wednesday supporting Trump’s characterization of a Muslim immigrant-led crime crisis in Sweden.”

The pair went on to write: “Mr. Trump did not exaggerate Sweden’s current problems. If anything, he understated them.” 

The POTUS was ridiculed by many after his Saturday speech in which he cited Sweden, among a list of European countries, as being affected by the scourge of Islamic terror. “Referring to the massive number of Middle Eastern refugees that have poured into the country, Trump said Sweden was “having problems like they never thought possible.” 

While some Swedish politicians openly derided Trump’s portrayal of the country, “riots in a heavily immigrant suburb of Stockholm on Monday evening put an end to most of the mockery.” 

Akesson and Karlsson wrote that: “Riots and social unrest have become a part of everyday life. Police officers, firefighters and ambulance personnel are regularly attacked. Serious riots in 2013, involving many suburbs with large immigrant populations, lasted for almost a week. Gang violence is booming. Despite very strict firearms laws, gun violence is five times as common in Sweden, in total, as in the capital cities of our three Nordic neighbors combined.”

They added: “Anti-Semitism has risen. Jews in Malmo are threatened, harassed and assaulted in the streets. Many have left the city, becoming internal refugees in their country of birth.”

The two Swedish Democrats ended by warning the U.S.: “For the sake of the American people, with whom we share so many strong historical and cultural ties, we can only hope that the leaders in Washington won’t make the same mistakes that our socialist and liberal politicians did.” 

Although the POTUS continually receives confirmation of the validity of his primary observations and plans for the future, American Democrats remain opposed to each and every one of his agenda items.

In that regard, Keith Ellison one of the eight candidates vying to become the Democratic National Committee’s next chair accused Trump of pirating key issues of the Democrat platform.  

Adelle Nazarian writes @breitbart.com, that with DNC elections to be held this Saturday in Atlanta Georgia, to appoint their party’s next chairman, although candidates differ “on how to unite their fractured party, the one topic on which they almost unanimously agreed was their opposition to President Donald Trump.”

Ellison himself has said: “Trump has done a number of things which legitimately raise the question of impeachment.” 

Accusing Trump of stealing the Democrats’ message, Ellison said, “Trump did say he was for jobs, trade, infrastructure and protecting social security. That’s our message. That’s what we do. That’s why he beat all those other Republicans; because he stole a Democratic message.”

Echoing Ellison, candidate Pete Buttigieg said Trump is “like a computer virus in the American political system. He ties up our minds and our processing power with these equations that don’t even have any solutions until the system overheats and breaks down.” 

Jehmu Greene added: “This man is arrogantly marching us towards fascism.” 

Jaimie Harrison was asked if going negative, and attacking Trump, is is the right strategy for the Democrats. He justified the negativity by saying, “We are in unprecedented times right now… We have to show the American people what we are all about.” 

Yet, while Ellison accuses Trump of “stealing” the Democrat message regarding, trade, infrastructure and protecting social security, the reason for Trump's upset win is that for the past eight years and more, all three major concerns suffered immeasurably. And thus, it was hoped by many that Trump would be the most likely one to fix them all.

Reader hubwolf put it this way: “I am comforted by this report of the various DNC Chair candidates focus. It assures me that they will remain a marginal but radical political force for years to come. The Democrat Party has proven itself to be against the interests of most of the citizens of the US and anti-American at its core. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy than that room filled with the uber members of the DNC.” 

While most other readers agreed in principle with hubwolf’s opinion, Adelle Nazarian addressed another issue @breitbart.com: Former South Carolina governor, Nikki Haley’s first address as United States Ambassador to the United Nations.   

After speaking Ambassador Haley stated: “I have to admit; it was a bit strange.” That was because while it is the UN Security Council’s mission to discuss ways to maintain international peace and security, “their meeting on the Middle East failed to address some of the region’s most pressing issues — namely, Hezbollah’s illegal buildup of rockets in Lebanon, the money and weapons the Iran regime is supplying to its terrorist entities throughout Latin America and the Middle East, ways to defeat the Islamic State, and how to hold Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad accountable for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of his countrymen.” 

Noting that the meeting “focused on criticizing Israel, the one true democracy in the Middle East,” Haley added that while “new” to the United Nations, “she is well-seasoned in her understanding of the UN Security Council’s generations-long bias against Israel.” 

She went on: “I’m here to say the United States will not turn a blind eye to this anymore, I’m here to underscore the ironclad support of the United States for Israel,”calling out the “breathtaking” double standards inherent in the Security Council. 

“Incredibly, the UN Department of Political Affairs has an entire department devoted to Palestinian affairs,” she said. “Imagine that. There is not a division devoted to illegal missile launches from North Korea. There is no division devoted to the world’s number one state sponsor of terror, Iran.” 

Ms Nazarian goes on to write: “Last December, the Obama administration fired a parting shot at Israel and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by departing from longstanding U.S. policy of vetoing anti-Israel resolutions and instead abstained from voting on a Security Council resolution (UN Res 2334) calling for a halt to Israeli construction in the West Bank and eastern Jerusalem. 

“Former U.S. ambassador to the UN Samantha Power cast the abstaining vote on behalf of the Obama administration. An article in Foreign Policy describes Power’s final act of defiance against Trump as her refusal to take Haley’s phone call prior to the December vote. 

“Power’s advisors suspected Haley would try to persuade Power to veto the resolution, and she did not take the call,” Foreign Policy wrote.” 

To that, Haley said: “We will never repeat the terrible mistake of Resolution 2334 and allow one-sided security council resolutions to condemn Israel. Instead, we will push for action on the real threats we face in the Middle East.” 

And then, once again, a well-versed reader Cindyssis1998, posted a clear, concise recapitulation: 

“What does anyone really expect though, they brought this on themselves. While Obama has been attacking Israel for 8 years for not giving the Muslims more of their tiny little sliver of land, Muslims have invaded France, Italy, Netherlands, Sweden and most EU nations and are destroying all of them. Not one is escaping. 

“They wanted this for us in America. Trump is putting an end to this lunacy before it hits us.
“Leftist are total idiots to want this in their nations.” 

All of which lends additional confirmation to the premise that although the new president may spend too much time “tweeting” about subjects many consider beneath him, his agenda’s moving at a quite rapid pace indeed. And that’s because he’s chosen first rate professionals to fulfill tasks most important to the nation and its allies. Such as Nikki Haley, our new UN Ambassador. 

That’s it for today folks.
