If Trump Cares About the Movement He Helped Build, He Should Now Go Away
NewsWeek ^ | 1/8/2021 | Josh Hammer

The ignominious events in the nation's capital on Wednesday, January 6 will not soon be forgotten. Images of an enraged mob overpowering police and breaching the walls of the U.S. Capitol, the West's preeminent citadel of republican self-governance, will hinder Americans' already-cratering faith in their government's institutional integrity and tarnish their belief in American exceptionalism. These are the sort of sordid deeds, and the sort of searing images, that one normally associates with malefactors in a developing nation or a banana republic—not what Abraham Lincoln once called the "last best hope of earth."

Hypocrisy, of course, abounds. It is more than a little rich for partisan Democrats and their sycophantic media mouthpieces to only now condemn anarchic mayhem and the wanton destruction of private and public property, following their systemic refusal to do so amidst last summer's harrowing, months-long Antifa/Black Lives Matter riotous rampage across the nation's urban corridors. As for the "health professional" charlatans who once argued against restricting the "mostly peaceful" protests in the name of the greater "public health crisis" of "systemic racism," they are now silent during an actual crisis of national political health, wherein recent polling suggests nearly 40 percent of Americans doubt the legitimacy of the recent presidential election.

This afternoon I started painting a “Biden, NOT our President” lawn sign.

The flip side will read, “Donald Trump is our President.”

I’ll never give in.

“If Trump Cares About the Movement He Helped Build, He Should Now Go Away “

And let Joe Birdbrain and Spread Eagle enact higher taxes, stop fracking and give citizenship to 11 million....oh I’m sorry...30 million illegal aliens and give them free health care, free education for their kids and $2,000 of stimulus money to all including their 8 or 9 kids.

Wishful thinking from the people at Newsweek. President Trump is a brilliant and driven man. He isn’t going anywhere no matter how much these people want him to. As the President of the United States, he has a lot of direct authority, but also operated under a lot of constraints as a public official. As a private citizen, those constraints vanish.

President Trump will work to grow the movement stronger, regardless of whether he is ever the sitting president again.

So Newsweek actually wants the movement Trump founded to prosper? No. I didn’t think so.

"These are the sort of sordid deeds, and the sort of searing images, that one normally associates with malefactors in a developing nation or a banana republic . . . "

Or at a BLM rally or a college campus where conservative speakers are prevented from speaking, or when left-wing activists take over administrative offices and make lists of demands.
