Feminists get on their feet to fight Trump but don’t forget the Republican female stars

Chris Kenny writes for The Weekend Australian, Saturday:

Trump could be a success as President and could yet be a disaster ... But there have been achievements and, for all that is distasteful and unorthodox about his style, he has remained faithful to his pre-election posturing. His critics need to be less shrill.

Don’t hold your breath on Donald Trump’s critics, Chris. Wall Street Journal, yesterday:

Demonstrators gathered by the thousands in New York on Saturday to voice opposition to the Trump administration and rally support for strong voter turnout among women in the 2018 elections and beyond.

Last year’s Women’s March offered delights like this. The Queen of Pop, Madonna, speaking in Washington, January 21 last year:

Yes, I have thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House.

And this year’s bigger leftie feminist protest has also served up the ridiculous and offensive. AP, yesterday:

In Palm Beach, Florida, home to Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate, several hundred people gathered carrying anti-Trump signs before marching. A group of women wearing red cloaks and white hats like the characters in the book and TV show The Handmaid’s Tale marched in formation, their heads bowed.

Trump’s America is nothing like The Handmaid’s Tale. Don’t be so stupid. The New Yorker, May 22 last year:

The Handmaid’s Tale ... is set in a nightmare world called Gilead, where consensual sex is an illusion and gender a cruel hierarchy — and traditional marriage is compulsory. It’s told in the voice of a forced birth surrogate, or Handmaid, whom we know only as Offred (for “Of-Fred,” the name of the Commander who owns her).

But feminists are ignoring the key roles women are playing in the Trump Administration. Trump nominating his Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, October 12 last year:

Kirstjen ... (is) a dedicated leader whose number-one priority is always the safety and security of our country and our citizens, not politics or ideology. That sets her apart.

Nikki Haley is the most effective UN ambassador in decades. And there’s hope she could be so much more ... Lauren DeBellis Appell writes for Fox News online, December 29 last year:

As US ambassador to the United Nations, (Nikki) Haley’s handling of recent events set her apart as a rising star ... Like the president, she refuses to let the US be bullied by other countries. ... she is far more likely to see the Oval Office long before any of the liberal feminists taking a number and standing in line for 2020.

And the public faces of Trump’s White House are two very tough ladies. NBC News online, September 17 last year:

For the first time in any administration, two women are now in command of its top public-facing roles — press secretary (Sarah Huckabee Sanders) and communications director (Hope Hicks).

These women are getting on with the job. And so’s the president. Trump on Twitter, yesterday:

... a perfect day for all Women to March. Get out there now to celebrate the historic milestones and unprecedented economic success and wealth creation that has taken place over the last 12 months. Lowest female unemployment in 18 years!
