What Do Democrats Fear in Donald Trump? Greatness
American Thinker ^ | January 18, 2020 | J.B. Shurk

Posted on 01/18/2020 4:14:37 PM PST by Hojczyk

James Carville says Trump is the greatest threat to America since the fall of communism.

What does he see that makes him tremble so? In a word, greatness.

How could he not? When you see a man being endlessly ridiculed and scorned brush off those insults with ease and smile back, you know something is different. When you watch a 6'3" sack of energy bustling across the stage four or more times a day in suit and tie before tens of thousands of spectators watching his every move, and he seems more rested and comfortable than the press gallery a third his age, you know you haven't seen this before. When his enemies spend years using the combined forces of corporate media, the legal system, and the intelligence agencies to dispose of him one way or another, and the man responds with an off-the-cuff one-liner that shows he could not care less, you know you are dealing with something rare.

Carville hates the man because he knows what he is. Donald Trump is a world-historical figure. He is not merely a part of history; he is an agent warping it with his own gravity. His ideas and actions represent a firm break from the prevailing paradigms of the past. His is an original voice arguing aggressively against the status quo. If everything about this moment feels different, that's because it is. We are all witnesses to history's play, but few generations see a world-historical figure ascend to its stage.

The media are blind to the moment, but future historians will see. Almost everything in the public sphere is now defined in relation to Donald Trump.

If you read Art of the Deal....

Trump has been working against the Democrats and MEDIA for forty years..

The quote from the book I like.

Bad press can be good if you are proven right and the press is wrong..

Trump offers good and decency. The Dems have no good and decency in them. They can’t stand it.

They fear him because they know he’s promised to drain their dirty swamp.

“Trumportunities.”

It is the idea that, whether by accident or design, Trump creates chances to solve long-running international problems that a conventional leader would not.

His bellicose isolationist agenda, for instance, might already be forcing Europe to confront its geopolitical weakness;

China, its need for a lasting economic settlement with the U.S.;

Countries throughout the Middle East, the limits of their power.

The president’s erratic behavior might be doing something else as well, something even more fundamental. Through a combination of instinct, temperament, and capriciousness, Trump may be reminding the world of the reality of international relations:

Raw military and economic power still matter more than anything else—so long as those who hold them are prepared to use them.

A term has been coined to describe this notion:

Ryan Evans of War on the Rocks calls them “Trumportunities.”

Husband and I just watched the deranged evil “Women’s March” slither down Market Street in San Francisco.

There wasn’t a sane, normal, non-obscene or good person marching, and THAT is what the Rat party consists of now. I did have fun jeering, “Trump 2020, five more years!!” LMAO

Trump is a threat to the existing order. That is why he must be destroyed.

The people you describe say Trump = Hitler.

We on the Right know that Trump = Churchill!

What does he see that makes him tremble so?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

He sees a threat to the largest bipartisan project of the last 30 years, the fundamental transformation of our country into North Mexico against our will.

By not enforcing the immigration laws for 30 years they already have us 30 million people down the road to stealing our country from us.

We weren’t supposed to be able to elect anyone who would side with the citizens and the rule of law.
They had us in a box voting endlessly for amnesty candidate R or amnesty candidate D.

Without dismal victims of society the dims have no constituency. Trump is a rising tide that lifts all boats, and that is bad for the status quo. Without anger and misery the Democrat party will fail.

“Trump is a threat to the existing order. “

Not to go all whacko conspiracy but, in truth Trump is a threat to the very real Uniparty/World Government plan.
If they don’t get rid of him via shampeachment or 2020 election cheating they will go with the next take him out option.

(Can’t happen right? Look at all the DeepState treason that is just ignored and will never be punished.(yeah, trust Sessions (Barr/Durham)))

I see it very similarly ... President Trump is the owners of this country finally asserting themselves. It is long overdue.

Your use of “slither” is perfect.

Because for the first time in any living person’s memory we have a president who isn’t ashamed of being a real man.

No offense to Reagan....liked his politics....but he did not really have that manly swagger, voice, or attitude.

We have so ingrained in people that any degree of true manliness is a vice that they react to it as a Roman general would react to Attila the Hun. Attila was a barbarian to a true, ordinary man. Today Trump is the barbarian to the true, ordinary soi boi and his emasculating girlfriend.

Carville also hates it because it means his wife is right, to the millionth power!

What surprises me is that Trump keeps getting better, and he’s better now than those clips from 20-30 years ago.
