A sign of Trump-baiting from Sen. Elizabeth Warren?

Sen. Warren was quoted in The New York Times to have said in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, earlier this year: "'By the time we get to 2020, Donald Trump may not be president. In fact he may not even be a free person.'"

LPR Briefly Explains the Left's Hatred for President Trump ...

He got more Electoral College votes than Ms. Clinton. He defends himself when attacked. The swamp expects Republicans to cower and cave-in when attacked, not respond. Also, as Peter J. Boyer noted in the April issue of Esquire, the president speaks bluntly, not like a professional politician would.

The Mueller Report ...

This posting of LPR was written two days before the report was released. LPR is satisfied that there was no collusion, no obstruction of justice, and hopes that the machinations involved in the effort to hamstring the Trump presidency will be shown to be the political sour grapes and poor sportsmanship that they represent. That is to say, the real threat to democracy in the UN these past few years has come from the swamp's desperate attempts to hold onto power.

Rep. Ilhan Omar ...

The New York Times argued in a news column. April 16, that President Trump is moving to rally his base by criticizing Rep. Ilhan Omar. The Times did not use the term "anti-Semite" in referring to the congresswoman, just that she is "a progressive [embracing] the boycott Israel movement...." The article did acknowledge that Democrats are unified in defending Omar. That, in turn, says a lot about the current state of the Democrat party, and not only that Democrats are unified in their hatred for the president.
