Pot-Kettle Media Call Trump Insecure

The Associated Press reports that President Donald Trump is "dogged by insecurity over his loss of the popular vote" and over "media coverage," but I have a different idea about whose insecurity is on display.
The entire liberal establishment and rank-and-file leftists remain in denial over Trump's victory. They convinced themselves from the beginning that Trump was a joke who stood no chance of winning the Republican primary, much less the general election.
They were so sure he couldn't beat Hillary Clinton that they went easy on him during the primaries, though Republicans knew their calculated restraint would have a short shelf life. Sure enough, during the general election campaign, they unloaded on him daily, yet they remained certain he could never win. They all but called the election at 5 p.m. on election night. For them, it has been downhill ever since.
Trump's sensitivity is hardly the issue here. Have you ever seen the media pre-emptively attack an incoming Democratic president? Have you ever seen the White House press pool interrogate a Democratic presidential press spokesman and ask him whether he intends to be truthful? The liberal media's antagonism to Trump is palpable....
...It is refreshing to me and millions of others that Trump directly responds to the left's shameless, deceitful efforts to undermine his legitimacy. The bullying, dishonest liberal establishment needs to be pushed back, and no one in my lifetime has shown himself to be more effective at doing it, with the possible exception of Ronald Reagan.
Whether or not Trump is too sensitive to liberals' efforts to delegitimize him, they are in fact trying, in bad faith, to do so, and they are failing. The more they pile on, the bigger a hole they will dig for themselves.
While they are rejoicing over Trump's supposed distraction from substantive issues, he is boldly, quickly and decisively advancing his agenda, putting the lie to their claims and leaving them stunned. They don't know what it's like be on the receiving end of an aggressive, action-oriented leader who, despite their claims, is not deterred by their organized caterwauling.
No, it is not Trump who is on the ropes here, and he is anything but distracted. He obviously is adroit at juggling many balls at the same time and staying focused on his campaign promises....
....With his business and leadership skills and his impatience for bureaucratic and Beltway inertia, Trump could make a significant positive difference in this country — and more quickly than we've been accustomed to expect from Republican politicians.
Let the media continue to bellyache and point the finger at Trump for being distracted, because with all their sound and fury, they are discrediting and emasculating themselves. Full speed ahead.
