Liberal meltdown hasn’t stopped President Trump’s agenda

It has been so much fun watching the liberal meltdown over the election of Donald Trump as president of the United States. The left cannot and will not acknowledge that it has happened.

Many of the commentaries that have graced your pages are nothing short of hyperventilation week after week. Don’t you think it’s getting a little old? Keep up the hysteria because while you are predicting the end of the world, much of the conservative agenda is being put into place. According to the Heritage Foundation, the conservative policy agenda has been implemented in this president’s first year at an astounding 64 percent completion rate. Yet most of your opinion writers can offer nothing more than their vitriolic hatred of Trump, and it’s all his fault.

What a circus! Maybe some anti-anxiety pills are in order for your socialist writers. It would be sad to see one expire because of a stroke caused by high blood pressure while writing the next diatribe!
