This isn't going to be some kind of political essay of the Trump Administration. It dawned on me one day that this President has had so many books written about him while being a sitting President that I decided to look up some of the book titles that have been released since January 2017...and some that have yet to surface. I'm not providing a definitive list...but to even say that should go a long way at explaining just how many books have been written about the President in a little over 3 years time. Obviously considering that Trump had been in the public eye for decades before running for President meant that most of the books that surfaced in 2017 were speculative...filled with information and often hearsay based on his past but had very little factual information on what a Trump Administration would look like.
Here's a list of books that have or will be released. Some of these books were written by Trump defenders, and for those books I'll feature the author's name, but the rest were written by what I call unhinged liberals on the attack who shall go anonymous. Search on-line stores for the books written by anti-Trump authors if you're interested in purchasing those. As a Trump supporter I find their books offensive which is why I'll provide the titles but not the author's name.

23. Trump Century (Lou Dobbs; September 2020)
24. Obsession: Inside the Washington Establishment's Never Ending War on Trump (Byron York; September 2020)
I'll stop at 24!! That's just scratching the surface. The point of these books is to fight for or against the Trump Administration. I know there have been books published about presidents while they were in office and of course once they leave office but I don't know if any sitting President has ever been the subject of so many books from all sides of the political spectrum before!!
Newt Gingrich has written a couple of other books about Trump: "Trump vs. China: Facing America's Greatest Threat" (October 2019), "Trump's America: The Truth About Our Nation's Greatest Comeback" (June 2018), and "Understanding Trump" (June 2017).
This is my off-topic blog area. I discuss mostly cartoons and TV programs and some politics, too.

Let's Slowly Re-Open the Economy...
I've been participating more than usual in on-line forums. I'm in-between jobs at the moment and so it's given me a lot of time to actively participate in those on-line news articles. If you're not familiar with what I'm referring to I'll explain: If you happen to have Yahoo as your home page then you'll see articles show up about COVID-19 and if you have the news/politics section open then you're going to see a lot of articles posted on Yahoo that originated, mostly, from left-wing blog sites. There's always a comment section where liberals dominate the conversation...and a lot of this liberal domination stems from the fact that the articles themselves have a liberal slant and therefore it welcomes liberal commentary to reinforce whatever narrative the article is pushing. Since Yahoo is my home page I'm only familiar with the news/political articles that are posted there. I'm sure other internet companies are heavily into the practice of promoting liberal viewpoints, too. Anyway, since I've had the free time, I've been actively commenting about the content/quality of the articles I'm reading and replying to other people's comments...way more than I usually would. The news articles that are shared on Yahoo come from a wide variety of liberal and often socialist blog sites. Once in a great while there will be an article posted on Yahoo originating from a conservative blog page but that's definitely a rarity and not the norm. One of the articles posted on Yahoo that I recently read and commented on comes from the liberal organization, The Guardian. The name of the article is: 'Operation reopen America: Are We About to Witness a second Historic Failure of leadership from Trump?'. If you call those organizations out on their liberal bias they deny any political bias yet with the title of an article being so one-sided you can easily see why the organization is accused of promoting liberal viewpoints. The Daily Beast, The New York Times, and The Huff Post - all heavily liberal in their coverage - are a couple of other outlets from which Yahoo routinely gathers their news articles from. The article I made mention of by The Guardian is where my most recent remark can be found. I was making the argument that liberals don't really want to see a slow re-open of the economy, and have it show any glimmer of success, for fear of how positive it could reflect on Trump. Liberals, more than likely, prefer to remain under house arrest and have limited movement in society...not because they're entirely concerned with the nation's health but because it's a negative they can attach to the President...here's my comment in it's entirety:
"It's dissolved into pure politics with the liberals...not that it wasn't about politics from the start...but they're nervous about a slow re-opening of the economy. It isn't because they're completely and totally concerned about the nation's health...it's because if there's even a glimmer of an economical rebound and a broad showing across the country of COVID-19 hot spots diminishing it'll be a winner for the President in the eyes of a general public who are not entirely fixated on politics 24/7. If liberals can't control the conversation it's a lost cause for them. To back up my remark about liberals shifting into politics above everything else: when it comes to the virus, mark my words, for every economical re-bound that makes the news you're going to see liberal organizations and news outlets counter those positive images and show people that contracted the COVID-19 virus. In other words liberals will progress into the exploitation of COVID-19 patients for political benefit.".
In another tab/window I refreshed the Yahoo news article and seen that, as of this writing, my comment over there received 76 thumbs up ratings and 66 thumbs down ratings and there's 16 replies. I don't engage in on-line flame wars, though. I say how I feel, post the comment, and move on. I don't allow myself to get baited into arguments.
I'd never share links to those liberally slanted news articles for a number of reasons. The main reason is I don't want to provide a link to articles whose presentation and view go against my own viewpoints but I also don't want to provide a link containing flame wars of which I'm no fan of. However, you can read about the Federal plan, Opening Up America Again, when you click this LINK. The target date is set for May 1st. The image below is just an image. It isn't a link to a news story.
Earlier in the day I wrote a remark in an article posted on Yahoo called 'Trump is an epic troll whose Twitter use is dangerous amid Coronavirus, Kara Swisher says'. The article was written by a guy named Max Zahn. The article features the author's interview with a liberal businesswoman and it's filled with so many predictable comments. She was making the argument that it's unfair that Trump has nearly 80 million Twitter followers. Her reasoning that it's "dangerous" is based on his ability to successfully reach millions upon millions of people on social media...when a lot of the liberal news outlets have resorted to not airing his daily COVID-19 briefings. The liberal news outlets, more or less, stopped airing the briefings entirely or they only air bits and pieces of them, because they see the briefings as campaign speeches. Imagine if news outlets that are seen as conservative would have done that when it came to Obama's speeches. You'd have Obama supporters crying 'racism' and all kinds of other things if a news network dared to skip anything Obama was holding a press conference about.
Anyway, here's my remark/comment about the Max Zahn article...my reaction is directed not at the author of the article but the subject of his interview, Swisher:
"Spare us your liberal whining and complaining. You're furious and enraged because Trump isn't afraid to speak his mind and the overall attitude if someone happens to be offended, so what. The author spends an entire article propping up liberal propaganda, griping about how Trump chooses to use social media, and because his Twitter account has nearly 80 million followers he's able to put his messages directly to the people without the blatant liberal editorializing that goes on whenever an on-line liberal organization or liberal cable TV channel airs something he's said. The liberal news outlets just can't stand it because his commentary and messages are reaching the people...those liberal television channels thought they were being clever when they stopped airing his press briefings in their entirety. The media conglomerates hadn't had the ability to control and shape a person's viewpoint since social media came along...Trump is more or less the only President that's actively used the tools of social media to his advantage and so his critics want to cry 'no fair'. Once you read further into the article, if you have the stomach for it, you'll see a rehashing of the story about those who mistakenly took fish aquarium cleaner due to it's name being similar to the anti-malaria drug. Also, you'll see Swisher's lavish praise of the far left radical nut Ocasio-Cortez. In Swisher's own words: "She's fantastic.". That statement is sickening enough but Swisher goes on to say: "She's a more call and response kind of person; she speaks internet — you know, she speaks Twitter."."
I could provide more of my comments but I only chose to share a couple of them. This is the kind of thing that goes on day to day in the age of the internet. A news article pops up on someone's news feed and from there, if so inclined, a person reads the story and posts their comment...and most begin a flame-war of personal insults that go back and fourth.

The Senate Impeachment Trial...Final Day...2/5/20
Millions upon millions of people seen the disgusting display of contempt, anger, and childish antics of Nancy Pelosi at the end of President Trump's State of the Union speech last night (a speech that's referred to by it's acronym of SOTU). As the address came to a close Pelosi felt the need to stand up, rip up every sheet of paper containing the SOTU address, and leave it sitting as she walked off. I'm not going to embed a video focusing exclusively on her sickening temper tantrum but instead I'm going to embed a clip of Vice President Mike Pence reacting to her unhinged behavior plus his reactions to other highlights of the SOTU speech. In an interview with Fox and Friends earlier this morning here's what the Vice President had to say...
In the video clip below from the SOTU address uploaded on a YouTube page named Bloomberg Politics, ironic that one of the Democrat candidates running for President in 2020 is Michael Bloomberg, the President addresses the American people directly with words that Democrats do not wish to hear. They remain seated as he declares that socialism isn't going to take over America's healthcare industry and that it's wrong to force America's tax payers to pay the bill for illegal immigrants. It was a revealing moment among other revealing moments...the Democrats didn't even have the decency to stand up and applaud the President's stance on socialism in an effort to even appear that they view socialism as evil, too. Instead they remain seated...revealing to all that they believe in socialism and absolute Government control of the people. Throughout the clip you'll hear groaning from the Democrats when he picks apart the flaws in Government-run healthcare, also known, as Healthcare for All/Obamacare. You can see for yourselves...
As I wrote on a social media site earlier this morning in response to the above video clip...
It doesn't get any more clearer than that! It's a perfect illustration that the Democrats support the ideals of socialism and absolute Government control of the people even though Bernie Sanders is the only one that admits to being Socialist. Why would any Democrat remain seated upon hearing that socialism isn't going to be mainstreamed and take over the healthcare industry? It's a rhetorical question of course.
Sean Hannity interviewed Lindsey Graham and this interview is shorter than the one featuring the Vice President. Graham reacts to the SOTU, the boycotts of it, and Pelosi's temper tantrum...
In this last video clip we see Representative Steve Scalise in an interview with Neil Cavuto on the Fox Business Network and he reacts to the SOTU, the Pelosi tantrum, and the Democrats being unwilling to work with the President on practically anything due to their animosity, hatred, and vendetta against him for winning the 2016 election through the Electoral College (a representative of the country as a whole) rather than a popular vote (a skewed representation which favors heavier populated pockets of the country).
Now then, on this final day of the Senate Impeachment Trial of President Trump, let's remind ourselves that the vote is scheduled to begin at 4pm Eastern. I'll be glued to the television around 3:30pm and beyond. In closing I want to post an image of the 2016 election map. It shows the areas that voted for Trump (Red) and the areas that voted for Clinton (Blue). Perhaps this image will show you just why it's important to continue electing the Presidents through the Electoral College rather than through a popular vote. Look at the map below and see all of the area for Trump...and then look at Clinton's supporters. If we were to elect by popular vote Clinton would've won in spite of her not being truly popular across the entire country as this map clearly shows.
