Amazed that Dems can’t cheer president

What an amazing time to be alive here in America! Some things are happening that I have never seen before as it relates to the two political parties. The one party, the Democratic Party, has evidently decided the only way that they can get back into power right now is to be vocally and adamantly 100% against any position or any action that President Trump takes. And the mainstream media has chosen to do the same, it appears.

They can’t even pick one thing that they can show support for, agreement for or applaud Trump for!

This has brought them, as a party, to a very strange and unhealthy place. With something as serious as this war with Iran, it has now brought them all to the point where they can’t show support to Trump or the successes of the U.S. military, but rather they feel constrained to publicize mostly the lying propaganda points from the Iranian regime. Iran is thrilled with this, as it has its own mouthpiece blaring out its message right here in the heart of our country!

I have never seen the likes of something like this, in my entire lifetime!
