Something very few people talk about in today’s fraught political environment is the high energy levels and endless drive of President Donald Trump on behalf of the people of this country.
Judge Jeanine Pirro, however, the host of the Fox News program “Justice with Judge Jeanine,” references the topic on the very first page of her new book, “Radicals, Resistance, and Revenge: The Left’s Plot to Remake America.”
She writes there, “Donald Trump himself is a nonstop, never-give-up, no-holds-barred human version of the speed of light. Even his terrific staff, many half his age, can barely keep up.”
“Luckily for us,” she added, “the Trump presidency has changed just about everything in record time. And thank God it has.”
LifeZette, during an exclusive interview with her by phone on Monday, asked her about this angle of the Trump presidency — a topic almost no outlet addresses.
The questions come in light of the latest attacks on him over a whistleblower controversy concerning a phone call Trump had in July at the White House with the leader of Ukraine.

“This is a nonstop, 24/7 effort by the Left to prevent Donald Trump from going forward — and honestly, I can’t think of anyone who would have the strength every day to face incoming, every day, and continue to fight for the American people,” said Pirro to LifeZette on Monday.
“It is amazing, what he does. And it also amazing that those on the Left, every chance they get, want to impeach him. You know, last week started out with a call to impeach Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh [over an explosive and problematic report about a charge against him from decades ago], and now it’s, ‘Let’s impeach Donald Trump.’ ‘We don’t know what that phone call [in the White House] was about, but let’s impeach him anyway.'”
Pirro added, “It’s like what Rep. Ayanna Pressley of the Democratic squad said [about Kavanaugh]: ‘Well, I don’t care, I want him impeached anyway.’ What happened to due process?” asked Pirro. “What happened to the presumption of innocence? People on the Left have absolutely no regard for the fundamental fairness that our Constitution requires.”
“And you better watch out,” she warned, “because they’re coming for you next.”
Of Trump’s enormous energy, she said, “He never stops. And I knew that years ago. The man, from very early in the morning until very late at night, just never stops thinking. And look at him — every other president, years into the presidency, starts to age. This guy looks great. He doesn’t quit.”
“He is a born fighter,” she added. “He fights for what he believes in. He is passionate about the American people and what is going on in the country right now. And he’s a billionaire — he could be on an island and a golf course and playing golf every day, but he’s not.”
“Hillary Clinton, on the other hand, didn’t even show up for her own campaign. She was exhausted every day. Imagine if she were president?”
“And you know what? The more they keep pushing him, the more he wants to make sure this country is protected from the lunacy and the revenge of the Left. It’s in his DNA — he’s incredible,” she declared. “He can always figure out the next move. He’s very, very effective at solving problems. He’s proven it every day.”
“The truth is that people don’t realize he’s got everybody running around,” Pirro also said. “Hillary Clinton, on the other hand, didn’t even show up for her own campaign. I mean, she was exhausted every day. Imagine if she were president? Then again, if she were president, there wouldn’t be these constant attacks on her as there are on Donald Trump.”
What is going on against President Trump every day of his presidency, she said — including the whole Robert Mueller investigation — “is just nonsense. And it’s a sad commentary on America,” said Pirro.
