President Trump Must ‘Go to the Mattresses’
US Defense Watch ^ | May 20, 2017 | Ray Starmann

Posted on 05/20/2017 1:26:30 AM PDT by pboyington

Not since the War of 1812, has the White House been in danger of being sacked; this time not by marauding British troops, but by domestic enemies.

President Trump is under siege: by traitors in his inner circle, by the liberal media, by Deep State Quislings and by the Democrats who smell blood in the water.

The President’s agenda, ‘To Make America Great Again’, is being torpedoed and in danger of being sunk, by constant leaks from the White House; by concocted fabrications from the bottom feeders in the corporate, mainstream media; by establishment hacks in the Beltway and by the Democrats, who know they are all one step away from being indicted on charges ranging from violations of the Espionage Act to the murder of Seth Rich.

Whether it is a press conference going south, the Russian collusion snowball, or ‘All the Lies Fit to Print’ from the NY Times, the President is on the ropes. His daily schedule has become nothing more than a series of withdrawals under fire.

He must establish a hasty defense and then counter-attack, hitting hard in all directions.

Like the fictional mafia family, the Corleones in the Oscar-winning film, The Godfather, the President must ‘Go to the Mattresses.’ He must cry havoc and unleash the dogs of war.

Tom Hagen: What about Bruno Tattaglia?

Sonny: That’s part of the deal. Bruno cancels out what they did to my father.

Tom Hagen: Sonny, we ought to hear what they have to say.

Sonny: No, no, no! No more! Not this time, Consigliere! No more meetin’s! No more discussions! No more Sollozzo tricks! You give ’em one message – I want Solozzo. If not, it’s all-out war, we go to the mattresses.

Tom Hagen: Some of the other families won’t sit still for all-out war!

President Trump must do the following:

1 – He must stop using Twitter as a platform to bicker and battle. The only Tweets coming from him should be official policy announcements. The use of Twitter as a vehicle to argue with the public does not befit the office of President of the United States.

2 – He must sack Sean Spicer and hire a press secretary who is not only an excellent speaker and smart, but also ruthless. He must rebuild his White House communications department. He is in an information war. He must have a press secretary and a communications staff who are not afraid to take the fight to the press.

3 – He must locate the leakers in the White House and destroy them, destroy defined as telling them they have ten minutes to leave the premises and that they are forever banished from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Any White House staff member who has been caught revealing classified information to the press, must be prosecuted.

4 – He must permanently ban the NY Times and the Washington Post from all press briefings, forever. He has the other, more extreme option of terminating all press briefings. The liberal, mainstream media has declared war on President Trump and the millions of Americans who voted for him.

5 – He must begin to clean out the Deep State devotees from the intelligence community, the Department of Defense and the State Department. These people are nothing more than Obama administration acolytes who are doing everything they can to undermine this President.

6 – Finally, and perhaps most importantly, President Trump and his cabinet must strike back at the Democrats by reopening the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s multiple violations of the Espionage Act. The DOJ must also go after the Clinton Foundation, which is nothing more than a fraudulent pay for play scheme. Furthermore, the DOJ should begin to investigate the murder of DNC operative Seth Rich, while also investigating John Podesta’s ties with Russia.

The Democrats are out for blood and for one simple reason; they know the depth of their crimes and are more than aware that the longer Donald Trump sits in the White House and Jeff Sessions serves as Attorney General, the odds grow that the wheels of justice will crush them to death.

The President has one only one option, he must attack ferociously and destroy his enemies before they destroy him.

This fight is Trump and Trump supporters against the rest of the govt elite, Democrat and Republican, and the media.

Yes, Trump needs to go to the mattresses. Trump supporters need to go to the mattresses as well.

An economic boycott of cable tv, hollywood and name brand products and chain restaurants, would hurt the media by reducing viewership and ad revenue. Open to suggestions for other tactics.

Economic boycotts have worked in the past:
American Revolution
India and Ghandi
MLK and the Civil Rights movement.

If the system is not disrupted we are headed straight for socialism/communism at bullet train speed.

To disrupt the system, we must disrupt our lives.

When you have a meeting with 4 people in the room and the contents of the meeting are in the WaPo the next morning, it doesn’t seem to be too much of a stretch to figure out who to fire.

Crushing Hillary Clinton has always been the key to crushing the Liberal’s attempted coup. Indicting HRC would force the Left to rush to her defense, spending much political capital on defending the indefensible. Convicting & jailing her would doom the Liberal narrative.

Convict her of serious crimes (there are many), threaten her with a life ending jail term, & she starts talking. That jeopardizes the entire Democratic leadership, especially Obama. Convict Hillary & Obama’s indictment is a sure thing, along with many others.

But be smart, start at the bottom, with Abedin, Mills, Podesta. They’ll sing like a bird when faced with jail time. A “proper” investigation would have done this months ago, but Comey refused to do his job.

One more thing: Replace Comey with someone who eats criminals for breakfast, & forget about trying to seem “fair” with a nominee like Lieberman, a ranking member of the “elite” & not a friend of MAGA.

Anyone watch Cernovich’s last youtube video? He claims to have emailed approximately 800 people who are losing their jobs by Monday within the administration- all Trump supporters. The guy in charge (forget his name) is a Never Trumper. Well he is getting some emails back. They are all telling him only Never Trumpers or Obama holdovers can get or keep jobs in the administration. They openly ridicule Trump. They are open about their intent to sabotage him. I recommend giving a listen, it will make your blood boil.

Trump’s twitter tag is approaching 30 million followers. Anybody think 30 million people watch the press conferences?

It is so discouraging to see all this stuff against Pres. Trump who I believe is trying to do the job in a correct manner,but is kept busy fighting off those trying to bring him down. Where were all these naysayers at when we had a so-called president who really did need to be brought down. They are now saying what a great president he(Obama)was when he should have been arrested, tried, & convicted for his traitorous acts. Somehow,many of the school students in our country are being indoctrinated with this crap. If they are not learning anything,the reason why is that there’s no time left in the day for any meaningful learning. If there were enough meaningful arrests made right now for sedition,there wouldn’t be enough jails in this country to hold them. Here’s a thought on that,though.....maybe there are some vacancies at Gitmo.

We need a new party....

The left is begging for a National Front. Impeach and convict this President and the Remoron party will cease to exist. Nothing but a bunch of lower level bag men, anyway.

Another tard who doesn't get it. The real soldiers are going to come from the audience he is targeting. The oh so well behaved haters of Twitter won't even be bothered to put down their glass of Bordeaux when the time comes to scrap.

About item #1, twitter should still be used for correcting the Fake Media. Besides that, it's a very good list.

Trump needs to go into handball mode now. And that includes going against the RINOs in congress if he needs to.

Press briefings should be once a week on Friday.

I think impeachment is just talk by the nutters

The regular establishment peeps just want him ineffectual for four and gone

That’s where our problem lies

There are folks in his ranks in revolt against him betraying him to a lying media at literally every turn

Just wait for the baited breath talk about how he screwed up on the road

Unnamed sources of course

The main enemies here are the media and GOPe and the apparatchiks

I like the tweeting, when it’s on point.

The media is the enemy, I’d start treating them that way.

I wouldn’t have let Lester Holt interrupt me.

RE:”I like the tweeting, when it’s on point.”

Between the stuff Trump tweets and what he says it makes it easy for the libs to claim he said all sorts of things based on ‘unidentified high level sources’.

He makes it easy to believe he says next to anything they claim he said.

Like asking Comey to call off the investigation.

Next day : Special prosecutor assigned to dig until he can charge someone with something.

Message to Trump: We were not tired of winning yet. Please start beating them again!
