Nolte: The China Trade Deal and 22 Other Times Trump Made Fools of the ‘Experts’
breitbart ^ | JOHN NOLTE

Posted on 01/17/2020 3:22:31 PM PST by davikkm

Way back in 2015, when the rumors began to circulate about Donald Trump running for president, rumors we had heard for decades, I was shocked at how many “smart people” — those snobs I enjoy heckling as “#GOPSmartSet” — underestimated The Donald.

Shrugging off the idea Trump would actually run was fair enough. Like I said, he’d been flirting with the idea for decades. Even I would have bet it was a publicity stunt.

No, what surprised me was how #GOPSmartSet and the elite media laughed off Trump as a clown, a huckster, a carnival barker, and bankrupt loser. That, to me, was wholly ridiculous.

To begin with, Trump was in his fourth decade of pop culture relevance. Other than Oprah, how many Americans have remained relevant since the eighties, are more than a nostalgia act today?

On top of that, Trump was not only a potent brand, but with his skyscrapers, he had single-handedly altered the landscapes of some of the biggest cities in the world, he had come back from the brink of bankruptcy (no small thing), he had conquered the Manhattan real estate market (the most competitive and cutthroat in the world), he was in his 14th year — fourteen! — of The Apprentice, a primetime hit on a major broadcast network, and he was a bestselling author.

Unless you’re a fool, and let’s face it, most of America’s political and media “experts” are fools, you don’t write off a man like that.

Americans support President Trump.

Anti-Americans do not support President Trump.

Fact Check: True.

It is that simple.

When Donald Trump leaves office in 2025 the Expert Class will say they not only called it.... everything that has happened up to that point.... but they will also say that they assisted in getting everything pass.... knew Trump while he was in office..... and advised him on everything.

The expert class has been lying to America since America was founded.

The “experts” are paperback experts, never had to do anything with their own money.
President Trump has been in the trenches all his life , on the front line making real life decisions for himself, responsible at every turn.

In comparison, Obama never ran a Kool Aid stand.

The effete elite. Not a iota of sense among the lot of them. They operate on faulty preconceived notions. Stick to them like super glue. And, haven’t the self awareness to show an iota of shame for being so wrong about nearly everything.

Their latest gambit to try to minimize President Trump’s myriad successes is to imply he simply bumbled and stumbled into all of his accomplishments. Like Mr. Magoo.

I wouldn't put Donald Trump and Oprah Winfrey in the same category. Oprah was/is into losing weight, NOT being a fatso. She was a talk-show host. There are TONS (pun intended) of fatsos losing weight and the talk show hosts thing started with Merv Griffith--I think. And there have been TONS of them too. Big deal.

But being the President of the greatest, wealthiest and most powerful country on the planet? Pul-eeze. Those two people aren't even in the same galaxy!

I LOVED Mr. Magoo.

I would put Oprah right along with the myriad of OTHER talk show hosts. Yawn.

She did MORE for the weight loss movement, though, and THAT was/is a good thing. In the end, I think that she will give up on the fat thing. It's just TOO hard to keep up once a person gets into his/her 50's, 60's and 70's and THAT'S when it's most important!

We all want to be able to get out of bed by ourselves when we get old.
We all want to be able to get to the bathroom by ourselves.
We all want to be able to bathe ourselves.
And...NONE of want to have to wear adult diapers.

Yes, that does count.

MLK was SO wrong because the color of skin is MOST IMPORTANT. It IS a ticket to get more for less.

MLK wasn’t wrong so much as the Left has decided that the bigots of old were right and the same race ideology they believed (the color of skin is of ineffable significance to determine who some one is, who they should be and who they can be) is the race ideology the Left now lives by ... only now they use it to keep people contained rather than keep them out.

But when I speak of keeping people contained don’t think I merely mean some reservation for blacks. No, to the Left everyone has a concentration camp they should stay in and so long as they be who the Left thinks they should be, think what people of their description ought to think, they are absolved ... the good people.

And those of us who won’t go into our assigned camps, we bitter Bible clingers, we are guilty, Deplorables ... the bad people.

I’m proud to be a Deplorable.

The partisan party-line DNC talking point regurgitating media liars at The Atlantic (Donald Trump Stumbles Into a Foreign-Policy Triumph) quote Henry Kissinger -- "I think Trump may be one of those figures in history who appears from time to time to mark the end of an era and to force it to give up its old pretences," he told the Financial Times. "It doesn't necessarily mean that he knows this, or that he is considering any great alternative. It could just be an accident." BUT IT ISN'T.
