Poland and the Atlantic and the left

Right after Trump was elected he went to Poland and gave a speech that had them cheering in the streets.  He spoke not of America but of Western Civilization and the Judeo-Christain ethic that spawned it. Poles celebrated The West.   But back home the speech brought out enormous animosity on the left. Vox: “an alt-right manifesto”, Common Dreams: “An ominous current running beneath Trump’s words.” Peter Beinart in Atlantic: “racial and religious paranoia”. Beinhart saw Trump defending religious and racial exclusivity. Jack Goldsmith, also in Atlantic: Will Donald Trump Destroy the Presidency?”On and on it went from New Republic to New York Tiimes. What was going on? Jamelle Bouje explained in Slate: “There’s no such thing as a good Trump voter.” Atlantic’s Chris Hedges did too writing a diatribe against “Trump and the Christian Fascists”. Nehisi Coates in Atlantic explained in a long article how Trump was not the enemy, just the leader of white supremacists and Christian Nazis.  Think of this when you see the now leftist Atlantic publishing an article where evidently one or possibly 2 disgruntled former office holders claimed Trump had dissed veterans in France. Even John Bolton won’t support the story and neither would 10 others present in the meeting.  Trump has quietly taken his own time to meet the planes bringing home dead soldiers and to meet with their families over the last 4 years.  He reformed the VA to much acclaim. He went to a military High School which he is proud of.  He increased defense spending (including pay raises for soldiers) and began a new Space Force.  Doesn’t sound like someone who would slam deceased vets to me.  But as for Atlantic and the Dems, they sound like they don’t hate Trump nearly as much as they hate us. That, tragically, is the real conflict.
