LOOKEE LOOKEE, CRAPPEE CRAPPEE

From the pen of Melanie Phillips a once-upon-a-time lefty who like Orwell 'woke-up' to their ideological hypocrisy, writes about Donald Trump, a man she opposed but now provisionally accepts...like most thinking people:
"Far from his leftist caricature as another Mussolini in the making, he is actually restoring constitutionality and the rule of law – in contrast to the Obama administration which undermined both. Trump is enforcing the law against illegal immigrants, for example; and when the courts made their dubious rulings against his own admittedly dubious order suspending immigration from states designated as a danger to US security, he didn’t ignore the courts but tore up his order and drafted a new one.

Amongst the public, people are getting the measure of this most unusual President and are coming to understand the distinction between his style and substance. While his loose-lipped way of speaking is far from ideal, because language matters and the US President should be careful to be accurate in what he says, people understand what he actually means – which by and large they find to be sensible and true. They discount the careless or coarse way he talks because that’s the way many of them talk too. What matters to them is not what he sounds like but what he actually does."
Unlike the sort of politicians we are most familiar with; who look good, say good things but deliver crap!
