Robichaud: Election of outsider Trump rankles federal bureaucrats
War has been declared on President Trump. It’s actually a war against those of us who work for a living, pay taxes, don’t collect a government handout, pay for our own health insurance and don’t have lobbyists on the payroll.
Since the November election, it has been a nonstop barrage of hate from the Democrats and the mainstream media. Not for one moment have they given our new president a honeymoon or one ounce of cooperation. Some of these hyper#partisans even suggested impeachment before he was sworn into office.
At first, you probably thought the crybaby routine was due to them being sore losers, but that’s not the case. The main reason is that we elected an outsider with a mandate to drain the swamp.
That’s why this war now has a new front — government bureaucrats whom we pay with our hard-earned tax dollars. The first shot fired was from acting Attorney General Sally Yates. Democrats held up the confirmation of U.S. Sen. Jeff Sessions as attorney general so Trump was forced to rely on an Obama holdover. Like a conniving Clinton, Yates refused to defend the president’s travel ban. In response, Trump had to fire her.
Yates’ actions were nothing more than grandstanding. If she was truly principled, Yates would have quit in protest, but she wanted to give the mainstream media the political headline they so desperately desired — you’re fired.
