Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ Latest Praise Of Trump Leads To Some Painful Home Truths
Sarah Huckabee Sanders drew swift condemnation Wednesday for her latest praise of President Donald Trump.
Sanders, the former White House press secretary, claimed on Twitter that Democrats at the Democratic National Convention “have spent all week talking about how much they hate” Trump.
Trump “should spend next week talking about how much he loves and is fighting for the American people,” she suggested.

The Democratic National Convention ends Thursday.
Speakers, including former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama, have railed against Trump in their speeches for the event, which this year is being held largely online because of the coronavirus pandemic.
The Republican National Convention takes place next week. Critics of Sanders’ post doubted that Trump would take her advice.
Many reminded Sanders of Trump’s apparent lack of compassion for those affected by the soaring death toll from the coronavirus crisis. COVID-19 has killed more than 170,000 people nationwide.
“It is what it is,” Trump said about the devastation caused by the virus in a recent interview with Jonathan Swan of Axios.
Others pointed to the thousands of lies Trump has told during his time in office.
Well that's not going to happen because the only one he cares about is himself.

Is "the American people" the name of one of his golf courses?

Here is a novel idea: Instead of the President "talking about how much he loves and is fighting for the American people" -- why not actually do it?

But he doesn't. So how will that work?

You know as well as anyone that he is utterly unable to even pretend he cares about the American people. And you weren't very good at it either, as I recall.

Trump may spend time TALKING about how much he "loves" the American people, but talk is cheap!
We see what he does, not what he says!— I.R. Cohen (@IRCards3) August 20, 2020
