I think people hate this president because they love this country.

Huckabee Sanders: Dems need to decide if they 'hate' Trump 'more than they love this country'


Huckabee Sanders: Dems need to decide if they 'hate' Trump 'more than they love this country'

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Tuesday that Democrats need to decide if they “hate” President Trump “more than they love this country” after Trump slammed Democrats who didn’t applaud during his State of the Union address.

“Democrats refuse to celebrate the accomplishments of last year that have helped all Americans,” Huckabee Sanders told reporters during Tuesday’s White House press briefing. “What I don’t understand and what I don’t think the country understands is why Democrats are so upset about lower taxes and higher wages.”

“That’s something that every American should be celebrating, not crying about, not sitting on their hands for,” the press secretary continued. “Democrats are going to have to make a decision at some point really soon: do they hate this president more than they love this country? And I hope the answer to that is ‘no.’”

4. I love my country

Every inch of it. I'm thankful for the life that I have had - the highs, the lows, the hard times and the times that have shown me that America is the most brilliant of countries.

This is why I am so distraught. To see the bright possibilities that were just beginning to take root, to see people evolving into acceptance of all types of human beings. To see enlightenment beginning to happen in my lifetime, even though some were being dragged kicking and screaming into it

And then to watch as those baby souls who fear change more than anything, take their darkness and with one last mighty shove, try to push it all off a cliff and destroy the progress we made and knock us back 50 years.

I know this is temporary. I know that this time of darkfear is going to be shattered by the energy of the next powerful light worker, and that we will again, pick up the pieces and move forward, always evolving. But it is very hard right now for those of us who have felt that HOPE.

This is America. We are who we are because of brave souls who have faced hatred, racism, violence, greed and even death - all in order to live as we deserve to live, free. To love who we want to love, free. To worship as we wish to worship, free. I have to tell myself this every day, because the darkness has its own very powerful magnetic energy. It is easy to be carried away with negativity because it is everywhere! People are being mass brainwashed and it is horrifying to watch.

I love my country and I know we will see brighter days, because we have SEEN them. I hope that we will have learned also, that this American dream is very fragile, and we have to make sure it is rock solid with support and a strong strong foundation. we can NEVER let this happen again!

What we need right now, is a someone to step forward and to start to lead this grieving majority. There are millions who have been waiting for over a year for someone to give us hope again. We need to get our sparkle back. I want to remember THIS America:

boss, is that Democrats are choosing illegals over real Americans. That's how this is being sold to the Deplorables. tReasonous tRump has made the Deplorables think immigration is a much bigger problem then it really is isn't. And now he's thrown the troops into the mix saying the Democrats don't care about them in his latest call for a government shutdown. This POS is toxic! And a GODDAMN LIAR!

I would despise the trump character. I do not hate because that harms ME.

How far removed from most people this Huckebee person is that she thinks folks who now may be getting a few bucks in their paycheck every week (my son in law told me yesterday his is $5 a week) are supposed to line up behind this ego maniac who would coat the planet in gilt if he could.

I may not be rich, but that is not the goal in life anyway. I have pride and principles. There is no amount of money that you could give me that would make me say it is okay to demean a certain group of people who are doing no harm and just trying to get by like me and mine. I have and always will fight those who think the planet is there to be raped for their own bank account.
