The Democrats bet everything on the former U.S. ambassador to the EU blowing up the impeachment against Donald Trump, bringing about the ultimate downfall of the former president. After changing versions several times, his statement turned out to be essentially irrelevant. Perhaps my statements the night before last, when I came out of the nightclub with my shirt open, and howling and sweating, were more relevant to Trump’s political future than Sondland’s statement. In the aftermath, all that blew up was the head of more than one Democratic leader who was already dreaming of Trump’s forced withdrawal. Since the day he made official his intention to return to the White House, the Democrats have been scared to death. All the efforts, all the media and political machinery of the Government and the Democratic party is devoted to making Trump unable to compete with Biden. Good luck with that, guys. The West needs America to be great again, assertive, influential, and relevant. Now Sondland, whom Trump fired after his impeachment testimony, has returned to the limelight with an interesting op-ed on Fox News, titled very differently than what you’d expect from someone who believes his former boss should be convicted as a felon, “President Trump fired me and I’m still voting for him.” (READ MORE from Itxu Diaz: Spring Is the Season of Love) The most amusing thing about this story, aside from Mr. Sondland’s personal situation and reasons for rushing to work with Trump again, is that the point he makes in his article is unassailable. It is not replete with impressions, or coarse words, or feelings or emotions, which are the kinds of things the left employs to attack Trump. It is full of facts, which is something that terrifies Democrats. You show the postmodern left a fact and they run away with their hands on their heads and screaming in fear. Sondland says Biden is neither physically nor mentally prepared to continue four more years at the helm of the United States. And it’s true. And anyone who wants to deny it in public will have to put up with their audience laughing in their face. Sondland says this election is a battle between free market democracy and socialism. And it is true. And it is the gravest issue. And that is why it will be a key election in the history of the United States. I remember when in Spain the president of the Community of Madrid launched her campaign slogan: “now we have to choose between communism or freedom.” Freedom won. Sondland says Trump is the only candidate strong enough to lead the country at this delicate moment in history. And it’s true. Sondland says that with what’s happening in Ukraine, in Israel, on the U.S. border, and with the country under the greatest terrorist threat since 9/11, “we need Trump’s relentless energy speed.” And it’s true. The whole world will be focused on America in the next election, but the West, the free world that today is threatened by the treasonous and liberticidal follies of the left, will not only be keenly focused, but will probably also be on its knees and praying. The West needs America to be great again, assertive, influential, and relevant. Furthermore, in his article he suggests that he testified reluctantly while others testified cheerfully, and hints that the motive of those who have accused Trump the most is actually personal revenge. I abhor the spiteful. And I abhor those who devote their strength to harassing a former colleague or boss with whom they failed to get along. The most flattering then, the most accusatory today. Traitors with whom you should not even go to collect a winning lottery ticket. (READ MORE: The Polite European Right Missed the Point) You can think what you want about Gordon Sondland. But his repositioning of Trump, whether self-serving or not, is perhaps the most credible defense ever made of the former president. And not just because it comes from someone who was fired by him, but mostly, I insist, because his position is replete with incontrovertible facts, which place the voter before a very simple question: do you want this (free markets, strength, and prosperity) or the other (socialism, irrelevance, and misery)?
