Cutting to the Chase: Why Trump Was Driven from Office
PJ Media ^ | 8-20-21 | David Solway

Skip

1. He was not “presidential.” He was considered crude in speech, rough-hewn in manner, and given over to bluster and hyperbole unbefitting the highest office in the land. ...

2. He was an outsider, ... He was never a member of the Beltway club, whether Republicrats or Democrats. ...

3. He was competent and proudly patriotic. He put America first, cutting taxes, renegotiating bad trade deals to the nation’s advantage, ...

For the “question of Trump” factors down to the three elements for which he was held accountable—personality, independence, and ability—and, of course, to the unbridgeable rift between the “anointed” and the “deplorables.”

Trump was hated for the qualities that made him an excellent president, for “Making America Great Again,” and for being a towering, if controversial, figure....

..., Trump was a true president: forthright, unbeholden, and effective. ... He upset the apple cart. He fractured and exposed the inner circle. He offended the elites.

Some people will say that this author's argument is over-simplified, and maybe it is to a certain degree. But he really did boil it down to the essential elements. The corrupt egotistical DC swamp creatures (including the media) couldn't stand Trump and so he had to go (by any means necessary).

He wasn’t willing to ensure the power broker continuance in Washington.

That’s it.

He exposed all of them, even after he left office the veils continue to drop and expose the hidden ugliness.

It’s really simple actually. Trump is hated by the swamp because he wants to stop policies like open borders and unfair trade that are making the corporate-political complex rich.

He showed the world what the DC swamp really was.

Corrupt and incompetent.

Like Toto pulling back the curtain on the Wizard of Oz, Trump pulled back the curtain on the Wizards of The Swamp.

President Trump proved how deep and wide the swamp goes. The deep state is much more than elected officials.

I also firmly believe that as he kept forcing the ChiComs to ‘play by the rules’ of the various trade pacts, and their economy started cratering, their coffers opened ever wider, to buy off the media and the pols even more. Their dislike of PDJT was magnified by ChiCom bribes, to push even harder to defeat PDJT. Just my opinion.

“Driven from” skirts the fact that what was done to Trump was illegal.

I always get a laugh out of he was not presidential but crude and rude.

So dear kind old Joe is their idea of presidential?

Polite, considerate, thoughtful in speech?

Demonstrates how a president should pinch a young girl’s nipple?

Demonstrates how a president should graft every one in sight?

Well as the old folks say, the dim’s chickens are coming home to roost. Just hope that they don’t do a Vichy France with the Chinese before we can be rid of them in the next election.

It is a real danger.

“He put America first”

Do that when it comes to the world stage, and believe in Jesus Christ as Lord (which Trump might do), and that solves most of our problems. Putting America first simply will not do for the ruling elite. Their goal is the world. The whole world. That’s why they cannot leave anyone alone. Ever.

With a few exceptions, pretty much everyone in dc gets to the point where they are there for the power and fortune. It’s a closed society that exists mostly for the mutual benefit of its low performing members.

When he arrived, Trump already had wealth and the confidence that comes from his already earned personal power. What’s more, Trump didn’t mind using those for the betterment of all Americans instead of just for the betterment of the dc clique.

As such, he had to be eliminated. He is a threat to everything the dc establishment stands for.

He was going to expose the treasury pipeline.

That HAD to stop.
