‘Too dangerous to govern’: Trump paints a dark picture of Democratic control

This was the headline of a Washington Post article this week on President Trump’s Iowa rally. They explain what President Trump said while calling it part of his ” campaign on and … governing with themes of grievance and fear“.

This is what they report he said; see if he said anything that wasn’t true:

• Democrats, the president thundered to an arena crowd of roughly 9,000, are “radical,” “unhinged” and “dim” — an “angry left-wing mob” that would destroy people’s businesses, provide sanctuary to murderous immigrant gangs and plunge the nation into “poverty” and “chaos.”

• “The Democrats have become too extreme, and they’ve become, frankly, too dangerous to govern,” Trump said. “They’ve gone wacko!”

• The president charged, for instance, that Fred Hubbell, the Democrat challenging Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds (R), intends to “massively raise your taxes,” “take away your ethanol” and “devastate your farms and businesses.” Okay, the Post said Hubbell was not against Ethanol.

• Trump claimed victory throughout — not only for the confirmation of Supreme Court Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh after a bruising nomination fight, but also for new trade deals, the falling unemployment rate and December’s tax cuts. “The only reason to vote Democrat is if you are tired of winning,” Trump quipped.

• Trump said the sexual assault allegations against Kavanaugh were “a national embarrassment” and the product, he argued, of a Democratic campaign to “destroy that man.”

• “You don’t give power to an angry left-wing mob,” Trump said, warning that if Democrats win congressional majorities next month, they would “turn our country so fast into Venezuela.”

• Trump took his crowd on a tour of his greatest hits against prominent Democrats.
• He mockingly called Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), a frequent cable-news critic of Trump, “DaNang Dick,” a reference to the senator overstating his military service during the Vietnam war several years ago.
• Trump singled out Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) for particular disdain. Democrats, he said, “have gone so far left that they consider ‘Pocahontas’ a rational person. No, it’s crazy! Elizabeth Warren. Oh, I hope she runs.” “We can finally get down to the fact as to whether or not she has Indian blood.
• Trump singled out Sen. Dianne Feinstein (Calif.), ranking Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, and accused her of disclosing the identity of Christine Blasey Ford, who had written a confidential letter this summer detailing her claims against Kavanaugh. Feinstein has denied that she or her staff leaked Ford’s name to the press, but Trump insisted she had. “Did she leak that? One hundred percent,” Trump said. “I don’t want to get sued, so 99 percent.”

• “Today, we are unleashing the power of E15 to fuel our country all year long,” Trump said, to big cheers from the crowd. He noted that he “made that promise to you during the primaries, remember? Promises made, promises kept.”

Yep, all true. The 21st Century Democrat Party is an angry mob, too dangerous to govern. And, the truth is severely damaging to the Democrat/media narratives.
