Trump, Not Biden, Is The True Unifier-In-Chief

The Biden administration, Democrats, and their cronies in the corporate media want you to believe that President Donald Trump is the next “Hitler” who will use his second term to turn the White House into an authoritarian weapon for evil.

This kind of defamation is incredibly ironic given each of those entities’ public participation in the destruction of the country by authoritarian means over the last four years. The claim that Trump will suddenly become a dictator, however, becomes even more ironic in the face of his recent pledge to bring “the country together.”

In an early December sitdown with the president-elect, NBC News’ Kristen Welker asked Trump what he had to say to the “Americans who didn’t support you in this campaign.”

Trump had every opportunity to take a victory lap for the race he ran, his policies, and his supporters who, for the last eight years, have been the target of Democrat, deep state, establishment, and propaganda press ire. Instead, Trump pledged to treat even those who strongly opposed his re-election “every bit as well as I have treated the greatest MAGA supporters.”

“It’s very simple. And I’m going to treat them just the same as I treat MAGA. We’re going to treat everybody good. We want success for our country, we want safety for our country,” he said.

Outgoing President Joe Biden claimed for four years that he would “unite” the country. Yet he refers to any American who votes against him and his party as “extremists” and “garbage.” Biden and his administration put words into action by executing the most destructive lawfare persecution of their political enemies — from his presidential challenger to praying grandmas — this country has ever seen.

Despite the Democrat’s disastrous track record and disdain for the people he pretends to represent, Welker’s colleagues in the corporate media hail him as the nation’s unifier-in-chief. They deliberately downplay all of the ways Biden and his party threaten democracy and even frame the serial liar’s empty pledges to bring Americans together as legitimate.

As Trump noted in the interview, Biden’s White House reign did nothing to bring the nation together. In fact, the Biden regime indisputably put the country “under threat” at home and abroad.

“A lot of bad things were done during the four years that I wasn’t there,” Trump said. “And mostly — and what they’ve done in terms of our reputation overseas — our reputation is so bad, so shot. I got to bring it back, and I also have to, have to bring back civilization to our country. Our country is a crime pod and we have to get rid of crime. We have so many things to do. We have to do the prices, we have to do all of that. But we have to get the criminals out of our country. We have to bring down crime.”

In contrast to Biden, Trump publicly proclaims to “love” all of his constituents, even if they’ve never cast a ballot for him.

“We’re going to all work together,” Trump told Welker. “And we’re going to bring it together. And you know what’s going to bring it together? Success.”

Trump hasn’t even been inaugurated yet, but he’s already doing more than Biden did over the last four years to unify the country by simply not calling the people who didn’t vote for him trash.

The bar for promoting unity may be low coming on the heels of the divisive Biden administration, but Trump’s pledge to work for all Americans isn’t an empty one. Polling shows that more Americans were confident the country was headed in the right direction under Trump during his first term than they were under Biden. Post-election surveys signal this higher level of optimism will characterize Americans’ views of the Trump administration this second go-around.

Trump’s vow to usher in harmony doesn’t mean there won’t be a reckoning for everyone who fueled the physical and character assassination attempts against Trump and his supporters. Unlike Biden’s, however, Trump’s fire will be aimed on behalf of law-abiding Americans, no matter who they voted for, not at them.
