They vastly underestimated Donald Trump.
When Trump vowed to "CLEAN UP WASHINGTON", they took the threat seriously but did not believe that he could do it.
For one thing, they had faith in corruption--in the corrupt system--and in the corruptibility of all (so they thought) people.
Also, they deceived themselves by believing their own propaganda: that Donald Trump is stupid and knows nothing about economics (never mind that he has 50+ years' experience building a multibillion dollar international financial empire--something that they couldn't do--and danced circles around them intellectually during the primaries) and that, after all, they are all--or almost all--graduates of the nation's most prestigious universities and, anyway, everybody they knows agrees that they are the nation's smartest people.
And furthermore, the Corrupt Deep State is so widely, deeply, and irrevocably intrenched that no one and nothing can deracinate it--certainly not an outsider--who is a blowhard and lots of other epithets that they can chuckle about in the coziness of their little enclaves--who proves that he is a fool by even taking them on.
NOW HORROR OF ALL HORRORS! He has succeeded!
He got himself elected! (though they still cannot believe it happened without some sort of criminal activity--because, after all, that is THEIR specialty and what THEY would do in his place!)
He has defied ALL their attempts to destroy him!
He has proved to all the world that it is they, not he, who are the fools! and evil, corrupt, dishonest fools at that!
Worst of all, he has proven to THEM THEMSELVES that they are fools! and corrupt and dishonest! and even suffused with evil! something that all people find it very hard to accept but especially corrupt, dishonest, fools who have allowed themselves to become suffused with evil.
No wonder they are in PANIC!
They MUST stop him! But how?
"Impeachment" appears to be their last resort! But is it?
Cornered rats are dangerous!
Be afraid, America! And be wary! You are in great danger!
Thank God for Donald Trump! Pray for him!
Keep your faith in TRUTH--TRUTH for its own sake!
Take comfort in the knowledge that we are on the Side of Truth and the Angels!
And that God is with us!
Just a hunch here..God and the Angels dont use this kind of language.
