Trump In The Looking Glass
American Thinker ^ | 25 Feb, 2021 | Edward R. Zuckerbrod

Posted on 02/25/2021 3:45:12 AM PST by MtnClimber

To his legion of obsessed enemies, it is a fortunate thing that Donald Trump owns his own Elba, otherwise known as Mar-A-Lago. Not quite an island, but a place where America’s Bonaparte can be safely exiled, secluded, and sealed-off from the general populace. Carefully watched and heavily guarded, they imagine he too is approaching madness; angrily stalking the grounds, bitterly rehashing his humiliating defeat. In his gilded quarantine, the nation is for the moment safe from that highly contagious and genuinely dangerous virus that threatens to infect more and more of the country: MAGA-1.

The luxuriously incarcerated ex-president presently consults with a small number of carefully screened visitors, so in between rounds of golf (did Napoleon even know his handicap?) he meets with former allies, quietly weighing his options for a possible escape from the confines of the resort and return to active political life. All the while, the guardians of his moral imprisonment keep a wary eye on his goings on; designing new obstacles to any suspected flight from captivity or, alternatively, plotting to make his post-presidency as miserable as his plush surroundings permit.

If anti-Trumpers in both parties get their wish, a marooned and isolated Trump’s claims to future political stewardship will capsize in a sea of what ifs and might have beens; sunk by a wave of mutual insults, finger pointing and recriminations. Accusations of disloyalty and fraud will necessarily fly in all directions. In short, they pray for the typical nasty and personal free for all that Trump has always seemed to take delight in overseeing; the many likes of which over the course of his single term probably served to exhaust and repel very many voters who would otherwise have looked favorably upon his performance.

But will he oblige and play to type?

Release MAGA-24 from the Mar-a-Lago Freedom Research Laboratory.

Totally agree as to the subject of his CPAC speech. If it’s about him, he’s out. If he makes it about the treatment of his supporters and how we can address the progressive loss of our freedom/civil rights, he’ll be well received.

It is Trump’s 4th straight year at CPAC. He knows the crowd well.

Trump is operating at a level this author has no clue about. It’s not an either/or situation—Nice Trump or Orange Man Bad. And it is not just about an election. This is a global war: financial, economic, political, cultural and military. It is complex and covert. WE get glimpses and clues—but ultimately, Trump will win. And we won’t have to wait for 2024.

Torn between liking it and wondering why no Barf Alert.

I think he will do great at CPAC

Quantum Financial System, Peace in the Middle East, and election reform—just to name a few improvements coming.

The Best is Yet To come!
