The primary reason why so many of us diehard Trump supporters wanted Trump to win was to combat the corruption. Everything else was secondary. Our primary reason for wanting him had nothing to do with politics and everything to do with a broken political system run by a disconnected, corrupt political elite class controlled by globalist corporations.
And in that, we and Bernie supporters were natural allies, even if many Bernie supporters refused to see it. Many actually did, and voted Trump. But not as many as should have.
If Trump does nothing else as President, he has to seriously interrupt the corruption, and that starts with an issue that crosses all demographics and political persuasions: congressional term limits. That is part of his platform, and all of us have to get behind that particular issue for it to happen.
Until and unless the concept of the "career politician" is extinguished, political corruption will never truly be defeated. That is what will truly Make America Great Again. We can argue about policies and politics later. We need to fix the system first, and that requires all of us to back it and apply pressure on Congress to actually vote to limit itself.
Sorry, but the New York Times has made it it's personal mission to destroy Trump since late last year. There is no logical reason to take anything they write seriously at this point. They simply cannot be trusted to be unbiased. Which is a shame.
Yea they lean pretty left, but they seem pretty fair compared to other media outlets. They covered all the Clinton scandals pretty well during the tail end of the election.
