On May 9, I read Froma Harrop’s Commentary piece, “Accusations could be helping Trump.” She closes this piece by urging Donald Trump’s critics to “preserve energy for more important fights ahead. The elections in November could start closing down the Trump era.”

Just what does Ms. Harrop want to close down? Could it be the highest stock market in history, or the lowest unemployment rate in many years, or maybe the largest budget surplus in history (April 2018)?

Maybe Ms. Harrop doesn't like the new North Korean relations, or the fact that ISIS is virtually extinct, or that President Trump has, by some measures, hired more women in high-ranking positions than any president?

If the progressive Democrats have some ideas that would improve on President Trump's record, I would love to hear them. In the meantime, I can't think of any reason that we would want to “close down the Trump era.”
