As President, Trump has the executive power to hire and fire entire departments of individuals. At least this is what is taught in civics classes.
When it bacame obvious that the DOJ was not going to prosecute anyone for anything related to Crossfire Hurricane, why didn't President Trump simply get the list of personnel that were referred for prosecution by the Inspector General and simply fire them?
Why didn't he fire every FBI agent that worked for Mueller?
Why didn't he fire Wray?
Why didn't he announce special counsels for the multitude of illigal efforts made by the Obama Administration like Fast and Furious, Bengazi, or the Clinton Foundation?
Why did he continue to surround himself with RINOs that wanted to get a long with the establishment?
We will never see another opportunity like this and yet the greatest President in my lifetime let so much slip through his fingers.
Why Trump Why?
Piling on President Trump isn’t helpful. He has been fighting an uphill battle since before he was elected and still, he has accomplished much more than I’ve ever seen in my lifetime. None of us knows all the details of what was happening behind the scenes.
Actually he was unprepared to take over. He relied on the supposed good intentions of the bureaucracy which immediately went into resistance mode. That does not even begin to touch the overt attempt to get him out, the Russia Hoax. I am surprised he was able to do what he did by sheer force of will. I will never forget that f in piece of S Ryan who did all he could to undermine anything he did from the Congress which the GOP had in control plus the Senate. Alas, nothing we can do now, well almost nothing but few what to go there.
I support pdjt. He clearly win by a very large margin. He should be reinagurated 20 January. The election was stolen and the D’s stole it so openly and blatantly too. But one thing pdjt has not done well — just about the only major failing I can think of - Is draining the swamp. On this, he’s been 99 percent talk and 🐣 tweet. And only 1 percent action. Almost all our enemies are still infiltrated inside “our” federal government, alas. And now they’re sabotaging us ( and pdjt) from within. Quite like the destruction from within, coup of the Ronan republic. Prepare for dictatorship. Elections are now thoroughly corrupted and meaningless. As Joseph Stalin said, voters don’t decide elections. Vote- counters do. Be prepared to defend self family friends neighbors and community!! Im hoping not but it sure looks like it is coming snd coming down on America, us... and fast.
Those are all fair questions. Yes, Trump was sabotaged on every front. But the buck always stops at the Oval Office.
Hopefully the next GOP president* will consider the questions you brought up.
* I’m dreaming here, of course. Dominion will make sure there are no more GOP presidents.
That and people forget that DC voted 92% for Hillary and 93% for Biden. DC is chuck full of government worker drones who are democrats. Some say FBI workers are 90% democrat, CIA is even higher.
How can one man, Trump, fix a problem that happened over five decades? People are expecting the impossible if they think where we are is Trump’s fault.
Maybe it is important to remember what he was before being President, a democrat. /sarcasm on and off.
Looking at the globalist GOP choir warming up, and the numbskulls cheering them on, I'm ok with that. We need a new party, one that represents the MAGA base of the working class and politically disenfranchised.
Trump thought he could play the long game and win. Turns out he couldn’t.
Perhaps if he went scorched earth at the beginning, firing all that he thought were the Deep State, perhaps that would have worked.
We’ll never know.
Why? When asking why, we are asking, for what purpose. So, for what purpose was President Trump elected? If we look at the final outcome of his presidency, do we have an answer?
Good one.
A broken system cannot be fixed within the system.
Why?
It’s complicated. President Trump found out that in order to be effective and get things done, you must work within the confines of the swamp.
Would he have been able to get tax reform done? Strengthen our borders? Overturn the horrible Obama economy without give-and-take? Would he have been able to achieve as much as he did if he had fired half of the swamp?
Nope.
” But like all of us, in 2016, Trump did not realize how deep the rot in DC really was.”
I would say that there is probably an equal number of us that really did know how rotten most of the government and we were dismayed at Trump’s failure to not have been ready for this.
Eight years of demonrat control was warning enough that the agencies were full of rats.
The question can be asked Why Trump? Perhaps God put Donald J. Trump into the Presidency for “such a time as this”. . . .to focus on and support Israel and Jerusalem, happenings which enhanced the study of Bible Prophecy, sharing of the Gospel through the pandemic, the rightful position of God in America, the right to life, uncovering of sex trafficking, and the importance and care of our brave soldiers and defenders of freedom. And for some the realization that this world, this United States of America is not our home. God is in control.
Fair elections are history as of this moment unless President Trump, along with the military, steps in to save this nation from the enemies from within and without.
> Dominion will make sure there are no more GOP presidents <
I could have phrased that better. I should have said “Dominion will make sure there are only Democrat presidents from now on.”
By the way, I like your idea of forming a new party to sweep away the corrupt old GOP. But I see that as a long shot. Money rules politics these days. And it would be very tough for a new party to attract enough start-up cash to make a difference.
Maybe our best hope is for the mainstream media to someday wake up and realize where this country is headed. That’s another long shot, I know.
People forget Trump arrived in DC totally politically unconnected and used to dealing with a certain subset of people. He was dependent on advice and counsel of many, alot of whom turned out to have ulterior motives, and certainly not with the best interests of the country and Trump in mind. So much of the architecture surrounding Trump, like DOJ, FBI, senate and house, was deeply corrupt and like musical chairs - get rid of one and another slips into the spot.
Personally, I think it is miraculous that he accomplished what he did.
Why didn’t he order the Dominion machines seized and audited back in December in the 6 cities that cheated?
There were a few ways this could have been done by the military.
Those machines will never have a proper audit now, and are here to stay.
I wonder if the Republicans in the state legislatures truly realize what they have allowed to happen. In 2020 the cheating only happened against Trump, and their jobs were safe. I hope after last night they see what they have ushered in.
As a follow-up to my post above, let me give you an example. When he fired Jeff Sessions he should have and could have picked a much more effective Attorney General other than Bob Barr. So why did he do it?
Because he knew that Barr was a compromise choice that would be approved. Anyone else would not have been approved by members of his own party in the Senate. His hand was forced. He had to choose an establishment RINO like Bagpipes Bob.
If in fact after today Donald Trump is a lame duck president, then I agree with the earlier post that suggested he should go on a scorched earth policy. Unclassify all the docs. Fire Wray and Haspel. Declare martial law. Engage the national guard. Invoke the insurrection act.
Go nuclear.
Unfortunately, they are not the “mainstream” media, they are the gaslight media. They are actively enemy, and are not going to wake up - they are very deliberately doing exactly what they intend to be doing, and they have no reason to stop.
