Trump Set the Trap and the Rats (and RINOs) Walked In
Self | 3/4/2017 | LS

Posted on 03/04/2017 7:00:02 AM PST by LS

Over the past week the hysteria on the right and among some weak-kneed Trumpers has been over the top. Even Rush Limbaugh began to wiggle uncomfortably, fearing Trump did know what he was up against, and hadn't moved fast enough to deal with the "silent coup" against him.

Jeff Sessions' recusal supposedly showed that Trump, like all the rest of the Republicans, didn't know how to play hardball.

Ooops.

I can always tell when something big is about to happen at Team Trump when my contact messages aren't returned. And I'm always pleasantly surprised that Team Trump is one to a dozen steps ahead of anything I'm thinking.

Case in point: yesterday I drafted a memo urging Trump to go on offense against the Democrats, specifically the Congressional rats. And as usual, I'm thinking of building a bowling alley while Trump is envisioning a gleaming skyscraper.

Today Trump's offensive began. But only after cleverly baiting the hook, luring the enemy Cannae-style into an envelope from which there is no escape.

He didn't fight back against the guys in the ring. He went after their manager, their coach, and their funder-in-chief. Trump went after the head of the snake.

By Tweeting that Trump Tower and his personal residence were bugged---and apparently the evidence of such a wiretap approval exists---Trump again shows why he plays 3D chess and his enemies are playing Parcheesi. The Bible says it this way: "They will come at you one way and go away fleeing seven."

Other than the fact that this is OBAMA he is going after, the juciest part is that Sessions did NOT recuse himself from a wiretap investigation of Obama. Get it?

Trump just leapfrogged the whole Russia thing with an "It ends today." Now Team Trump has leverage to force a full and total standdown of all opposition to Trump inside Congress, all end to the disruptions, and meek and timid confirmation of all appointees. Or Zero goes to jail. That simple.

Many here will want blood. But I'm reminded of Sam Houston after he defeated Santa Anna at San Jacinto. Instead of hanging the dictator, he merely took all of the American Southwest. Santa Anna was out soon anyway, but we still have Phoenix, Denver, and (unfortunately) California. It will be a negotiation from strength, and the Dems will have no choice but to comply. They won't completely give up---there will be surreptitious acts with enough deniability---but this was a perfectly baited hook that all of Trump's enemies just walked into.

The Media and the Deep State are formidable enemies. I fear for our President’s life and even more I fear for our Republic.

It allows Trump to open wiretaps on Obama et al and further allows Trump to open investigations into collusion between the Obama administration and Hillary Clinton’s campaign. Further it give Trump added motivation to finally expose Obama for having posted a forged birth certificate on a government website...

Many times Trump has seemed to outwit the Obama/Clinton cabal. I hope this is accurate. Trump needs to “end this now”. He can’t have Obama stirring the pot every few days. Hopefully all the remaining appointees will be swiftly approved. He should indict Hillary now and leave Obama hanging. That would be the perfect trap IMHO.

... this convinces even more why it was so important for Hillary to lose the election because if she had won, nothing would have changed and the same old Obama regime would have stayed in place and control -— and America as we have known it would have continued so vanish.

Democrats and the media are being even more repudiated by the day by a vast majority of Americans...

Would love for Trump to announce that he is going to go into all Obama’s records. Even if he doesn’t follow through the panic will be enjoyable.

It should be noted that this is not a new story. It has been around since at least the 11 January National Review article by Andrew McCarthy.

But, given that, it is nice to see Trump strike at the heart of the beast. Do it Donald. Nail the Obama-Soros Axis (OSA) to the wall with this one.

I kept thinking that you don't build a business empire by cowering and continually turning the other cheek to your enemies, so I was wondering when, and how, Trump would strike back and start taking down those bastards!

Trump is transforming himself and the movement into something too big to stop.

That’s part of the art of negotiating from strength.

Thanks for an insightful post, I’m sick of reading whiny posts from FReepers who have taken the bait and somehow think Trump and his entire team are now suddenly a bunch of morons.
