PROTECT TRUMP MORE, NOT LESS

CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY SEPTEMBER 18, 2024

     THE WASHINGTON POST, WHICH ONCE WAS A PRETTY GOOD NEWSPAPER AND NOW IS A PROMOTER OF ALL THINGS DEMOCRAT. LIBERAL AND SECULAR, SAID IN AN EDITORIAL YESTERDAY THAT DONALD TRUMP SHOULD BE PROTECTED LIKE A SITTING PRESIDENT.

OCCASIONALLY EVEN THE POST GETS THINGS RIGHT.

     NOT TO PROTECT AN EX PRESIDENT, ESPECIALLY ONE WHO HAS BEEN THREATENED WITH DEATH BY IRAN, IS SOMETHING THAT WOULD NOT BE TOLERATED BY MOST AMERICANS. THAT A MAN COULD SPEND 12 HOURS HIDDEN IN THE BUSHES AT TRUMP’S FLORIDA GOLF COURSE AND BE UNDETECTED UNTIL HE WAS ABOUT TO SHOOT TRUMP IS INCREDIBLE AND ANOTHER BREAKDOWN IN SECRET SERVICE PROTECTION. COMING SO SOON AFTER THE JULY ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT MAKES IT EVEN WORSE.

     WHAT THE MAJOR MEDIA ARE NOT REPORTING IS THAT THE SUSPECT IS A KAMALA HARRIS SUPPORTER AND A DONOR TO THE DEMOCRAT PARTY. HE ALLEGEDLY HAS SAID TRUMP IS A “THREAT TO DEMOCRACY,” A PHRASE REGULARLY USED BY MANY DEMOCRATS AND SOME REPUBLICANS.

     TRUMP BLAMES SUCH LANGUAGE ON PRESIDENT BIDEN AND KAMALA HARRIS, BUT HE’S CONTRIBUTED TO THE BAD LANGUAGE, TOO. IT’S LONG PAST TIME TO COOL THE RHETORIC AND STICK TO THE ISSUES. THERE ARE PLENTY TO DISCUSS. CANDIDATES SHOULD DISCUSS THEM AND STOP HURLING INSULTS. I’M CAL THOMAS.
