Seeing Trump from both sides

CRAIG BOYER

Bayport, Va.

Sometimes we look at a picture and see two different images like the Rubin vase.

I thought about how Trump has been viewed by Democrats and portrayed by the media.

You see Trump as a racist, I see him helping blacks with opportunity zones and criminal justice reform.

You see Trump building a wall to keep immigrants out, I see him wanting legal immigrants to come in.

You see Trump cages at the wall, I see Obama cages at the wall. You see Trump Tweets as crude, I see them as responses to a bias media and what Americans are thinking.

You see Trump as selfish putting himself first, I see him as selfless putting America first.

You see Trump alienating our allies, I see him holding them accountable. You see Trump as responsible for 210,000 COVID deaths, I see it as governors putting many infected patients in nursing homes.

You see Trump not taking COVID serious, I see him closing China travel 10 days after the first case while Pelosi and Cuomo said live your lives.

You see taking a knee as a symbol of fighting racism, I see it disrespecting those who gave their life for America.

You see Trump rallies and call them reckless, I see it as unconditional support because he fights for the people.

You see Trump as a foreign policy failure, I see him with three Nobel Peace nominations and bringing our troops home.

You see looting and rioting in the streets and call it peaceful protest, I see it as disregarding the rule of law.

You see Trump threatening to use National Guard in violent cities as militaristic, I see it as the last resort to save lives and businesses.

You see Trump as ignoring science, I see him trying to balance safety, jobs, livelihoods and mental health.

You see Trump and have loathed his every word for four years, I see him as a fighter who always stands up for America.

You see Trump waving from the balcony of the White House as a dictator, I see him as an uplifting Commander-In-Chief giving hope.

You see Trump as the worst President, I see him as the best because promises made were promises kept.

You see Trump behind in the polls again and losing, I see him winning again because he is definitely “The People’s President.”

I hope you “see” what I mean.
