Even If You Hate Trump, You Should Be Standing With Him Now

Now that Donald Trump has been indicted, everyone who loves America as a free society, no matter where you may be on the political spectrum, should be standing with him.
There are many reasons why this simple fact has been obscured today, not least of them being Donald Trump himself. In my own case, I was deeply impressed with Trump’s performance as president, and even gave him the highest possible ranking in my 2020 book Rating America’s Presidents. After the 2020 election, I remained on his side as he stood against what seemed to me to be an obvious case of election fraud. But then came the increasing evidence that the whole COVID hysteria was concocted, and that the vaccines caused more harm than they solve; Trump, however, has continued to trumpet those vaccines as a major achievement of his administration. Nor has he demonstrated any change in his tendency to support people who oppose his agenda, as his recent endorsement of Ronna Romney McDaniel shows yet again. And his attacks on America’s best governor, Ron DeSantis, are petty and mean-spirited. I began to think Trump’s time had past.
Now that he has been indicted, however, all those considerations must take a back seat to the fact that Donald Trump is the man whom the authoritarian Left hates and fears more than anyone else, and is determined to destroy. The Leftist establishment is so avid to destroy Trump that it has not hesitated to take the wrecking ball to Americans’ trust in our most respected institutions.
