It’s no secret that the Democratic media hates America. There are plenty of examples, from Joy Reid to Ali Velshi to Joy Behar, and many more. And despite the barely-there ratings of many of these leftist news outlets, they sadly still have a sizable amount of influence over the American public. As America is about to celebrate her 250th birthday, a recent Gallup poll found that strong sentiments of pride and patriotism among Americans has fallen to its lowest level in 25 years. And, according to CNN’s Erin Burnett and Monday’s OutFront guest, historian Jon Meacham, that’s all Trump’s fault.
“There’s a new Gallup poll that saw that just 53 percent of Americans say they’re ‘very’ or ‘extremely proud’ to be American,” Burnett said at the beginning of the segment. “Ten years ago, that same poll said the number was 81 percent.”
“Is this really about Trump?” she teed up Meacham. He wasted no time enthusiastically assenting to that assumption:
I hate to say it, but I think it is. One of the issues we're going to face over the next two and a half years is 'Was this the age of Trump, or are we in an age of Trumpism?' And on those three letters hangs a whole lot. No president - and President Trump would love to hear this - no President has ever had the grip on the, if you will, the cultural mind-share of Americans. Of all the men who've held the office, no one has been as omnipresent in the culture and in the minds, both of his supporters and of his foes.
