It’s time for the Trump haters to ditch their “unfit” trope. (snip) Somehow, they claim, a combination of incompetence, mental illness, and excessive fast-food consumption all render Trump incapable of executing his duties.While this has been an absurd and ugly lie since Trump’s inauguration, these stalwart naysayers now should see that Trump is entirely equipped to do his job. Trump’s critics surely will disagree with his policies and decisions. But the last few weeks should make even them admit that, whether they cheer or jeer his actions, he actually is performing as president, and effectively so.

There they are, the NR weasel words. As if everything NR said before the inauguration was right. Subscriptions must have taken another nose dive this month.

I don't think Deroy Murdock has ever been a Never Trumper.

Deroy Murdock is a reliably reasonable writer and I always enjoy his articles.
BTW, a hearty hello to the OP.

Yes! Welcome back OP. Hope that we see more of you here - we’ve missed you and your brilliant dialogs!
As to the article, PDT is the most effective president in my 66 year lifetime.

The real question is - Other than being literate and able to write, are THEY fit to inflict their views on the public?

Seems since we are all on one accord let’s make sure the President gets four more years to tack on to his term. He has done a fine job and will continue to work as hard as I have ever seen anyone work POTUS. The man is not a slacker, that’s for sure. Would that the Republicans in the Senate and House half of his work ethic and commitment to doing the best for the country. They look like slugs compared to him. He runs rings around them and many of the little Demi-gods cave at the first sign of opposition.
This President is a throwback to a time when men worked hard, kept their word, respected God, loved this country and had that unique American sense of humor. He’s a keeper. KAG Trump/Pence 2020!

Yes there are never Trumpers on NR but, there are also some very pro Trump writers such as Victor Davis Hanson so, how about we critique the article for its substance rather than using anything done well by NR to slam them.

NR is responsible for those it employs who have not just respectfully disagreed with Trump but in accord with Dems actively worked to undermine a sitting Republican president. I hold the Never Trumpers to blame for having lost the House in '18. Ignore the media slant - imagine what more could have been accomplished without the intransigence of Pelosi back as Speaker.

Yes, Welcome Back, OP, and thanks for posting.
Just don’t bother to read the sanctimonious and salacious [Ann C] comments.
Sad that NR doesn’t acknowledge both our POTUS’ and VP’s continued support of Israel, and POTUS’ many pastor advisors like Darrell Scott.
Hatred only hurts the hater; too bad some at NR never learned this.

It's fortunate that the democrats still have Climate Change to promote otherwise they would have nothing on which to campaign.

Spoiler alert: This article is a comprehensive list of Trump successes in government, policy, negotiation and statesmanship. I'd forgotten half of the stuff Trump had done... but the author remembered. Doggone, we elected one fantastic president!!!
