   Trump Derangement Syndrome prevents those who dislike President Donald   
   Trump from giving him credit for virtually anything.   
      
   In the first nine months of Trump 2.0, his detractors fail to credit him   
   for: securing the southern border in a matter of weeks; gas prices now at   
   a four-year low; the steep decline in the price of eggs; a stock market   
   hitting record highs, benefiting the nearly half of American adults who   
   invest in the market either directly, via mutual funds or through 401(k)s;   
   income growth exceeding inflation; inflation at 3%, less than the 5% per   
   year average under Biden/Harris; pressuring our NATO partners into   
   increasing their financial commitment when failure to do so provoked   
   complaints by former Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush;   
   orchestrating the release of remaining hostages and remains of those   
   seized by Hamas on Oct. 7, 2023; the successful bombings of three of   
   Iran’s nuclear facilities; a reduction in crime in Washington, D.C., and   
   in other cities through the deployment or the threat of deployment of the   
   National Guard — and the arrests of violent criminal aliens, causing a   
   reduction in gang-related criminal activity; and other foreign and   
   domestic achievements.   
      
   “Those things do not matter to me,” said an angry caller to my radio/TV   
   show. “Trump is a bad person. He is a racist who wouldn’t rent to people   
   who look like you.”   
      
   “Did you vote for Joe Biden?” I asked.   
      
   “Yes, but what difference does that make?”   
      
   This difference is hypocrisy, selective outrage and double standards.   
      
   Biden lied for over 50 years about his alleged civil rights record. No, he   
   did not engage in desegregating movie theaters and restaurants. No, he was   
   not arrested attempting to visit an imprisoned Nelson Mandela during   
   apartheid South Africa. No, he was not “raised in the black church.” If   
   being a “racist” is bad, where does one rank lying about not being one?   
      
   For decades, Biden, elected to the Senate in 1972, bragged about his   
   ability to “get things done” with the segregationists in his party. Biden   
   opposed court-ordered busing — as did many blacks and whites — to achieve   
   integration. But note how Biden, at a 1977 Senate Judiciary Committee   
   hearing, framed his opposition: “Unless we do something about this, my   
   children are going to grow up in a jungle, the jungle being a racial   
   jungle with tensions having built so high that it is going to explode at   
   some point.”   
      
   In 2010, Biden called Sen. Robert Byrd, a former Exalted Cyclops member in   
   the Ku Klux Klan who had recently died, “one of my mentors” and said, “the   
   Senate is a lesser place for his going.” About his working relationship   
   with another Southern Democrat racist, Biden said: “I was in a caucus with   
   (Mississippi Sen.) James O. Eastland. He never called me ‘boy,’ he always   
   called me ‘son.'”   
      
   Well, glory be!   
      
   It wasn’t until 2019, during his third campaign for president, that Biden   
   apologized for touting his good graces with his party’s racist senators.   
      
   As for Trump, the caller referred to the consent decree the Trump   
   Organization agreed to in 1975 — when Trump was in his 20s — with the   
   Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice over allegations of   
   refusing to rent to black would-be renters. The decree did not admit   
   liability, but the Trump Organization — then headed by Trump’s father —   
   agreed to change practices. In his 1987 book “The Art of the Deal,” Trump   
   said, “What we didn’t do was rent to welfare cases, white or black.”   
      
   Over 20 years after the consent decree, the Rev. Jesse Jackson praised   
   Trump in a 1998 Rainbow Push Coalition event as a “friend” who supported   
   “the under-served communities.” Jackson said, “When we opened this Wall   
   Street project … (Trump) gave us space at 40 Wall Street, which was to   
   make a statement about our having a presence there.”   
      
   The following year, at another coalition event, Jackson said to Trump, “We   
   need your building skills, your gusto … for the people on Wall Street to   
   represent diversity.”   
      
   There you have it, Trump is a racist. The 1975 consent decree stands as   
   Exhibit A.   
      
   As for Biden, CNN’s Van Jones, who attributed Trump’s 2016 victory to   
   “whitelash,” tearfully said after Biden dropped out of the 2024 race, “I   
   just know that I love this man, I care about this man.”

   --   
   November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump.  We look   
   forward to America being great again.   
      
   We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that   
   stupid people won't be offended.   
      
   Every day is an IQ test. Some pass, some, not so much.   
      
   Thank you for cleaning up the disasters of the 2008-2017, 2020-2024 Obama   
   / Biden / Harris fiascos, President Trump.   
      
   Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the   
   The World According To Garp.  Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood   
   queer liberal democrat donors.
