Tammy Bruce is a radio talk show host, New York Times bestselling author, and a Fox News political contributor. As far as presidents and politics go she seems to be pretty knowledgeable. Bruce is writing to all of the Democrats and anti-Trump citizens who are constantly attacking Trumps character. She makes the argument that Trump is much like Reagan in a way because Trump and Reagan were both highly protested. Not only were they both protested, but their own character was attacked. Not their policies or anything like that, but simply untrue rumors to try and mar their reputation. The rumors they spread are ridiculous. Saying that Trump has a mental illness or even going as far as saying he has syphilis. I understand if people don’t agree with everything that Trump does or says, but he still deserves peoples respect. After all, at least half the country wanted him to be president. I completely agree with Bruce that they are similar, and I also agree that there needs to be a change. People need to get over the fact that Trump was elected because nothing is going to change. He isn’t going to be kicked out of office just because some people don’t want him to be president. Like Bruce mentions, the media is of no help. The media just amplifies everything and makes it worse. If things don’t change then things could get bad very quickly. No matter how many people dislike him, I don’t think anyone wants to see another president get assassinated. It surprised Bruce that families like the Bushes and the Kennedy’s  haven’t come out and said anything defending Trump since they know what it’s like to see a President get assassinated. It is a very scary world we live in right now, and I think that is going to get a lot worse before it gets better.
