let this sink in:

The Korean War had seesawed back and forth for 2 1/2 years and finally had ground itself into a bloody intractable stalemate when Eisenhower was sworn in in 1953. His single admonition to the Koreans, their co-belligerents the Chinese and to the Russians was enigmatic: "I shall go to Korea."

Such was the prestige of America's war hero, a five-star general, the supreme Allied Commander in Europe, the former commander of NATO, the man who had vanquished Hitler was such that a armistice was quickly agreed to by adversaries who had been utterly unmovable for years. The carnage ended and the American death toll halted at about 33,000.

Moral of the story: the prestige and credibility of the commander-in-chief of the United States of America matters very much.

Trump has prestige among people who understand that DC has existed for its own and globalist interests for far too long. Trump has prestige among people who understand that the average DC hack despises them.

Before you dust off your next old-time example of prestige, I challenge you to spend time on the site linked in my next post. Reddit hates The_Donald, and has actively persecuted them for many months. Yet it recently came to light--from Reddit's advertising division--that the REAL numbers for The_Donald are 6 million members and 28 million unique views per day.

Read a few of the threads. Maybe it will cure your gloom and doom.

"I shall go to Korea."

But he didn't.

And here we are today...
