Here’s something you don’t see every day.
In Alabama, the Republican Party passed a resolution naming Donald John Trump as “one of” American history’s “greatest and most effective” presidents.
On Saturday night, the group presented a copy to the Big Cheese himself.
The framed award — given to Trump at his Palm Beach, Florida-based Mar-a-Lago resort — begins thusly:
Whereas, President Donald J. Trump was one of the greatest and most effective presidents in the 245 year history of this Republic…
The document goes on to credit the former Commander-in-Chief with the following:
- Putting the American people and the American worker first
- Delivering a COVID-19 vaccine in record time
- Enacting the largest tax cut in history
- Withdrawing from the Trans-Pacific Partnership
- Pulling out of NAFTA
- Standing up to China
- Signing the United States-Mexico Trade Agreement
- Leaving the Paris (climate) Agreement
- Accomplishing record-low unemployment
- Appointing three conservative Supreme Court justices
- Bolstering the military
- Exiting the Iran nuclear deal
- Restoring America’s standing in the world
- Moving the U.S. Embassy to Israel
- Initiating the Israel-UAE accord
And the biggie…
Where as, President Trump accomplished more in 48 months than Joe Biden did in 48 years as a senator and vice president.
Notably absent from the group observing all the above: CNN and MSNBC.
“Now therefore, be it resolved,” the gift says, “by the Alabama Republican Executive Committee that President Donald J. Trump is highly honored and commended, and that this resolution is offered to him in deepest appreciation for his dedication and sacrifice to our country in order to ‘Make America Great Again.'”

Former state Rep. Perry Hooper Jr. explained the point of the gesture to Fox News:
“The resolution, basically, it just talks about the greatness of Donald J. Trump, how he made America great again and I hope other states will follow suit.”
Surely actor Jon Voight’s a fan of the recognition — the Oscar winner previously himself declared Trump the “greatest president since Abraham Lincoln”:
Not everyone online was stoked over the award:

I’m sure you’re familiar with that debate—
The KKK was an off shoot of the Democratic Party.

Cancel culture canceled dr. Seuss saying he was racist for something he wrote over 50 years ago then why can’t the Democratic party be canceled for forming the KKK pic.twitter.com/UJ2Kk1utfy

I love when dumbasses try to tell me that Democrats started the KKK and then tell me that I'm wrong that a shift occured 100 years ago that Republicans became the new democratic party in regards to racism;https://t.co/6uiCfg7X0C

So you don’t know that the KKK switched to Republican?
How far back did you time travel from? That happened quite a while back.

Basically the KKK went Republican in the 60’s, before that they attracted people from different parties as they weren’t founded by either major party. Racism held them together more than politics.

All of the above — and the ceremony in Florida compared to legacy media’s portrayal of POTUS 45 — serves as a reminder that we may just be a very fractured country.
Where history and government are concerned, will we ever again agree upon general truths, enough to be One Nation Under God?
Either way, Alabama’s GOP has made clear its position.
I predict some similar awards for Joe Biden — during and after his presidency — by those across the aisle.
