President Trump's Oval Office address on foreign election interference sparked an intense reaction from Democrats and the media. The speech was met with such fervor that some networks, including CNN, NBC, and ABC, chose not to air it, a move that is unprecedented in modern political history.
The Democratic party and its allies in the media have long been accused of suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome, a condition characterized by an irrational and intense dislike of the President. However, the reaction to Trump's speech suggests that this condition may be more widespread than initially thought.
Democrats and some media personalities rushed to define the content of the speech before it had even taken place, a move that is both curious and telling. It raises the question: why did they feel the need to pre-emptively define the speech and its message?
There are two possible reasons for this behavior. First, the Democrats and their allies in the media do not want the American people to hear Trump's message on voting integrity and election security. They are aware that his speech would raise questions about the integrity of recent elections and the use of mail-in ballots to manipulate the outcome.
For example, the Los Angeles mayoral election was marked by allegations of election fraud, with the left using mail-in ballots to remove a Republican candidate from the ballot. Similarly, the 2020 presidential election saw Joe Biden receive more votes than Barack Obama in 2008 or 2012, a feat that is difficult to explain.
The Democrats and their allies in the media rely on systems like mail-in ballots and ballot harvesting to win elections. By blocking Trump's speech and preventing the American people from hearing his message, they are trying to maintain the status quo and prevent any disruptions to their power.
The second reason for their behavior is more personal: they simply do not like it when Trump reminds the country that he is the President of the United States. This is evident in their reaction to his state of the union addresses, which they have consistently treated with disdain and disrespect.
Their behavior is a reflection of their desire to pretend that Trump's election did not happen and that everything will return to "normal" once he is no longer in office. They refuse to accept that Trump was elected in reaction to their failures and that he represents a different vision for America.
