ZitatPresident Trump has been in office for less than a month, and Democrats and the media have already compared his presidency to Watergate, the 9/11 terrorist attacks, and Pearl Harbor.
New York Times columnist Tom Friedman compared the election of Donald Trump to al Qaeda's coordinated terror attacks against the U.S. on Sept. 11, 2001.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we were attacked on Dec. 7, 1941, we were attacked on Sept. 11, 2001, and we were attacked on Nov. 8, 2016," Friedman wrote on Tuesday. "That most recent attack didn't involve a horrible loss of lives, but it was devastating in its own way."
Jason Johnson, politics editor for The Root magazine, agreed with Friedman.
"I completely agree with that," Johnson responded when asked if he agreed with Friedman's comparison. "That is a 9/11 danger to the sovereignty of the United States, and it falls right on the desk of President Trump."
Johnson was referring to the danger posed by Trump's alleged ties to Russia.
Former congressman and Democratic candidate to be Virginia's governor, Tom Perriello, said the election of Donald Trump was a "political 9/11."
"The election of Donald Trump was a little bit like, you know, a political and constitutional September 11 for us, if I can be honest," Perriello said.
There are at least two current Democratic members of Congress who have floated the possibility that Trump has committed treason. Reps. Seth Moulton (D., Mass.) and Brenden Boyle (D., Pa.) suggested that if officials in the Trump administration coordinated with Russia to release hacked emails during the presidential campaign, they would be guilty of treason.
"If members of the administration are essentially conspiring with Russia–either through the [2016 presidential] campaign earlier or now in the administration itself–I mean, look, that's the very definition of treason," Moulton said.
Senate Democrats have called for a 9/11 style investigations into Russia's interference in the 2016 election.
I would like to tell all these folks just how ridiculous they are making themselves look, but they are inadvertently making themselves look like comic figures, and, just as inadvertently, making President Trump look more sympathetic and more reasonable.
John McCain also owes the families and loved ones of the Orlando and San Bernardino massacres an apology. He really ought resign.
"I was part of a 30 million woman march in November. We marched our asses right into a voting booth and voted for President Trump".

***** This article inspired me and here's my FB posted reaction... TM *****
"We live in the days of Histrionic News. [histrionic: 1. exaggerated dramatic behavior designed to attract attention.]
We're seeing a very severe adverse reaction to the realization that the campaign is over and yes, this election also had consequences. Clearly, this election did not yield for the Left their desired results. "We, the people" said "NO!" to their agenda and we dared to choose a different direction. "We" must be punished? because we voted not to give the Left their way?
Ever since the election, it's been a steady drone of exaggerated dramatic, defiant behavior, an angry suspension of reason and a weakening of any obligation to honor THE RESULTS of democracy. The checks and balances inherent in the democratic process failed them, so rather than accept the will of the people, THEY WANT REGRESS!!!. Today we're seeing a perpetual tantrum by intellectually weak losers who cannot see that every issue has TWO SIDES and THEY LOST. Witness their unwillingness to accept the will of the election."
"The demographic most opposed to President Trump is not a racial minority, but a cultural elite." Daniel Greenberg
"Failure to adequately denounce Islamic extremism, not only denies the existence of an absolute moral wrong but inherently diminishes our chances of defeating it." Tulsi Gabbard
"It’s a movement comprised of Americans from all races, religions, backgrounds and beliefs, who want and expect our government to serve the people, and serve the people it will." Donald Trump's Victory Speech 11/9/16
