    These folks are shameless.

    The Coronavirus Makes Trump Stronger: Gallup finds 60% of voters approve of his handling of the crisis. As usual, the Fake News establishment is clueless.

    This is not what his critics expected. At 49% overall job approval in the latest Gallup poll, and with 60% approval of the way he is handling the coronavirus epidemic, President Trump’s standing with voters has improved even as the country closed down and the stock market underwent a historic meltdown. The bitter criticism of Mr. Trump’s decision making in the early months of the pandemic has failed to break the bond between the 45th president and his expanding political base.​

    One reason Mr. Trump’s opponents have had such a hard time damaging his connection with voters is that they still don’t understand the depth and intensity of the populist energy that animates his base and the Bernie Sanders movement.​

    That a majority of the electorate is this deeply alienated from the establishment is because there are solid and serious grounds for doubting the competence and wisdom of America’s self-proclaimed expert class. What is so intelligent and enlightened, populists ask, about a foreign-policy establishment that failed to perceive that U.S. trade policies were promoting the rise of a hostile Communist superpower with the ability to disrupt supplies of essential goods in a national emergency? What competence have the military and political establishments shown in almost two decades of tactical success and strategic impotence in Afghanistan? What came of that intervention in Libya? What was the net result of all the fine talk in the Bush and Obama administrations about building democracy in the Middle East?​

    On domestic policy many voters believe that higher education saddles students with increasing debt while leaving many graduates woefully unprepared for good jobs in the real world. The establishment has amassed unprecedented deficits without keeping roads, bridges and pipes in good repair, while cities and states accumulate unmanageable levels of pension debt.​

    The American establishment engages in relentless virtue-signaling; going along with conventional "wisdom", however foolish; and quickly forgives the failures of others to have their own overlooked in return.​

    "The U.S. establishment won’t prosper again until it comes to grip with a central political fact: Populism rises when establishment leadership fails. If conventional U.S. political leaders had been properly doing their jobs, Donald Trump would still be hosting a television show.”
