I'm John Batchel with my colleague Elizabeth Peake, writing a column at the Hill,

Column at Fox News. Liz, the attacks on Donald Trump's history and personality and presence

and conduct, they redoubled after the attempted assassination after he was shot.

They redoubled again after someone

i don't use his name but in any event camp near the golf course to shoot him again they continue

to redouble it is very strange to me that this continues it turns out it wasn't a good campaign strategy either. Do the opponents of

Donald Trump understand that, that the more they shout these negatives, the more Donald Trump

enjoys success? Do they see that list? Well, I don't think they do. I think they're so convinced and they have so drunk their

own Kool-Aid on what an ogre Donald Trump is, that he's a racist, that he's the second coming of

Hitler, that he's a misogynist. They don't really look behind the curtain to see the fact that,

you know, now over half the country actually likes Donald Trump.

So maybe it's only half the country. Maybe some people devoted for him because they couldn't stand Kamala Harris.

But John, the, as you say, ad hominem attacks on Donald Trump are really just horrifying.

And they have led to political violence.

They almost led to his assassination.

But yes, they also got everybody who supports him angry,

as did all the lawfare,

as did so many of the other kinds of attacks

that the left perpetrated against him.

It didn't work.

And again, part of the reason it didn't work, I put a piece out about this today. I know this is sort of obvious, but it's never been mentioned by a single Democrat commentator.

People actually like Donald Trump.
