At a Saturday evening reception held at Mar-a-Lago, Alabama Republicans honored former President Donald Trump, declaring him “one of the greatest and most effective presidents in the 245-year history of this Republic.”
Despite the fact that Trump is the only president to be impeached twice, and managed to lose his own reelection and the Senate majority for his party, the GOP presented Trump with a framed resolution that grants him the honor.
“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,” Perry Hooper Jr., a former state representative and a member of the state party’s executive committee, told Fox News.
Members of the state’s GOP unanimously voted on the resolution, which claims that “President Trump put the American people and the American worker first in all of his decisions.”
Among Trump’s accomplishments cited in the document are his success with Operation Warp Speed, his withdraw from the “job-killing Paris Climate Agreement” and his appointment of “three constitutionally conservative judges.”
“It’s just recognizing him for all the great things he has done for America for bringing back American manufacturing, cutting taxes, creating best economy ever, building up our military,” added Hooper, who also served as the 2016 Trump campaign’s Alabama co-chairman, according to Fox News.
The resolution also bashes President Biden, stating that “President Trump accomplished more in 48 days than Joe Biden did in 48 years as a senator and vice president.”
The Alabama Republican Party did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
