Dear Editor,
I often wonder why some people constantly criticize President Trump and his administration. They nitpick every imaginary issue, most of it fabricated by opponents trying to undermine his agenda to make America great. What’s in it for them? Why would anyone not want America to succeed? They clearly reject America First policies and ignore the real gains made during Trump’s second term. Nobody has to like Trump’s personality — shaped as it is by years of weaponized attacks aimed at imprisoning him and smearing his name and his family. But why the concerted effort to spread misinformation? Why not offer real solutions instead of constant complaints?
It hit me: this is all they’ve got. All the Democrats have are lies about Trump and the hope that America fails.
Here’s the pattern. A negative rumor starts. The mainstream media amplifies it. Democratic members of Congress repeat and spread it. Eventually it’s debunked — sometimes with an apology, often without one. By then, the damage is done, and the media’s followers already believe the hoax. Some debunked examples include Russian interference and collusion, election subversion and January 6th, business practices and fraud, sexual misconduct and defamation, policy and executive power controversies, and having the Supreme Court in his back pocket. All have been proven false but continue to fuel the rage against the President. In reference to the Supreme Court, Trump has won as many cases as he has lost. That seems fair to me. And when Trump loses, he obeys and follows the rule of law. He may make negative comments about it, but he never breaks the law.
Repeat spreading hoaxes for over a decade, going all the way back to the escalator ride at Trump Tower, and you start to see how it would wear on anyone’s spirit. It’s also why Trump says provocative things — like floating a name change for New Mexico. He’s not serious. He knows it’ll send the left into a frenzy, and after everything they’ve thrown at him, why not enjoy the reaction?
Trump’s Achievements
* A secured border
* A smaller federal government
* Record-low crime rates
* Record-low unemployment
* Record investment in the country
* A manufacturing boom, with jobs returning from overseas
* No tax on tips, overtime, SS income
* A record-high stock market
* Record-high military recruitment
* Lower prescription drug prices through most-favored-nation pricing
* Trump Accounts established for every child 18 and under
* Energy independence, with the U.S. now a net energy exporter
* Iran blocked from obtaining a nuclear weapon, with resolution close at hand
* Gas prices lower than their peak under the Biden administration
* Real wage increases
* Freed hostages through negotiation without paying money or trading prisoners
* Millions in taxpayer savings from rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse
For too long, foreign and domestic entities have taken advantage of the American taxpayer. Trump is the first president to treat that seriously. Many of the achievements above will take time to realize. Factories are being built now, giving jobs to construction workers, but when online will employ many more.
The AI Debate
The latest hoax is the hysteria around AI development. Critics claim data centers waste water, generate excessive noise, and risk spawning a superintelligence that could threaten humanity within the decade. This is fearmongering, timed to the midterms and aimed at one outcome: making sure America loses the AI race to China. Remember — when Democrats say they want America to fail, what they really mean is they want Trump to fail. That’s derangement, not policy.
President Trump backs frontier AI development because of its upside: breakthroughs in cancer and drug research, earlier disease detection, faster learning for students, cleaner industry, and a better quality of life overall. The alternative is trusting alarmists with a poor track record — the same crowd that predicted climate catastrophe years ago, and yet here we still are.
Trump has driven record investment in frontier AI to keep America ahead. China, meanwhile, benefits from a psyop pushing hysteria that leads to overregulation — regulation that would slow down American progress. Data centers already recycle water, generate or supplement their own power, and often invest directly in their communities through parks, lower property taxes, and school funding. These companies already operate under laws that protect the public and limit their conduct. More government regulation isn’t the answer — government has a track record of complicating things it touches.
This is political, and it plays into the hands of adversaries who benefit if America falls behind in AI. Why is this debate happening now? Maybe because lies about Trump and the hope that America fails are all the Democrats have left.
