In this season of thanksgiving, let us be grateful that some measure of calm and sanity has returned to the White House. The United States, at least for now, has a stable, functioning government. The president is not making everything about himself, nor creating chaos for its own sake.
The stock market is higher than it ever was under President Donald Trump; the S&P 500 has hit more than 50 record highs so far in 2021.
By this time in Trump’s first year, he had:
- praised the “very fine people” marching among violent neo-Nazis in Charlottesville;
- fired the FBI director for investigating his national security adviser;
- replaced his national security adviser,
- chief of staff,
- press secretary,
- communications director,
- chief strategist,
- secretary of homeland security
- and secretary of health and human services;
- chief of staff,
- ripped up treaties
- and threatened to pull out of NATO;
- threatened nuclear war on Twitter;
- attempted to impose what aides called a “Muslim ban”
- and disparaged a “so-called judge” who objected; belittled U.S. intelligence
- and shared sensitive Israeli intelligence with Russia;
- sabotaged Obamacare;
- falsely claimed his predecessor had tapped his phone lines;
- embraced Stalin’s phrase “enemy of the people” to describe the free press;
- exposed the “dreamers” to deportation;
- stood by a Senate candidate accused of sexually assaulting a minor;
- tossed paper towels (but not the needed aid) at hurricane-ravaged Puerto Rico;
- continued nonsense claims about a “deep state”;
- insulted hundreds of people in often vulgar and misspelled tweets;
- made more than 1,600 false or suspect statements;
- and, yes, shoved the prime minister of Montenegro before a photo op
- and insulted German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
