“One cannot open or watch without a laundry list of vile, negative press on the president. It has been nonstop since the inauguration,” says Lon Walters, a retiree in Sedona, Arizona, who voted for Trump, albeit without enthusiasm. “He is hardly tactful, restrained or … charismatic. But I do believe he wanted to change things for the better.
“What I never expected was the loathing from the left, the politicians and media serving their own political purposes versus the country’s,” Walters continues. “Rather than, at least, giving the illusion of bringing the nation together, they have been marching in lockstep to ensure nothing gets done.”
Eden Perry of Morgan Hill, California – a teacher who claims she left the Democratic Party and voted for Trump – expresses a similar sentiment.
“The vitriol of the press – omitting Trump’s accomplishments and outright lies – are really upsetting. In my opinion, this is dividing the country purposefully and more dangerous than any foreign power,” Perry says. “I am challenging you to find one good thing the president does for each bad thing. What about the economy, stock market, manufacturing, meeting with unions, black colleges, the young scientists, women’s groups, teachers groups, bringing all kinds of people into the Oval Office?”
