For years, Democrats and their allies in the media have accused former President Donald Trump of being “chaotic.” In fact, they wasted no time between Election Day in 2016 and Trump’s January 21, 2017, inauguration making this claim.
“Inside Donald Trump's Chaotic Transition,” Newsweek published as a headline.
“How Trump's messy transition led to a chaotic presidency,” the Washington Post claimed.
In fact, dozens of House Democrats refused to certify the election results and boycotted his swearing in at the U.S. Capitol.
They’ve never stopped making the argument, and breathlessly warn Trump is "too chaotic" to sit in the Oval Office again.
“A Trump Victory Would Mean Transition Chaos,” Bloomberg said just this week about the potential aftermath of the 2024 presidential election.
And yet, just this week, we saw what actual chaos really looks like. Former President Trump has nothing to do with it.
First, the first major dock strike in 40 years went into effect on Tuesday, putting supply chain reliability and the country’s economic future in question.
“J.P. Morgan estimated the daily cost of a port strike by East and Gulf Coast port workers would cost the U.S. economy between $3.8 billion and $4.5 billion per day as operations slow,” Fox Business reported.
Americans, fearing shortages of everything from toilet paper to canned goods, raced to the stores to stock up.
Down south across a number of states, Americans are still without help from the federal government a week after Hurricane Helene crashed into the coast and made its way inland. Worse, while government incompetence is costing people their lives, private enterprises are being prevented from doing the work.
“The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) clarified a message that warned civilian drone pilots not to fly near Hurricane Helene recovery and rescue efforts — or risk penalty, fines or ‘criminal prosecution’ — after facing intense backlash online,” Fox News reports.
Private helicopter pilots have also been threatened with arrest — even after conducting a number of rescues and delivering life saving supplies.
As for President Biden, he doesn’t remember what storm caused the chaos.
“I’m wondering what storm you’re talking about,” Biden said to a reporter upon arriving to the White House after visiting disaster areas in North and South Carolina.
On the foreign policy front, war is again raging in the Middle East as a result of the weak Biden-Harris appeasement of Iran and its terrorist proxy groups and Ukraine is still getting pummeled by Russia — despite hundreds of billions of dollars in taxpayer funded military aid for its defense. It’s the largest war in Europe since World War II.
"Nearly half of Ukrainians believe the war with Russia is at a stalemate, according to a new poll,” the Washington Post reported in June. “Some 44 percent of respondents said they believed that neither Ukraine nor Russia was winning the war, while 41 percent said that Ukraine was winning and just 5 percent that Russia was winning.”
This is actual chaos, and the Biden-Harris administration has been in charge for all of it.
