A Besieged Trump Presidency Ahead
Real Clear Politics ^ | Patrick Buchanan

Posted on 11/22/2016 7:03:15 PM PST by bobk3

A time for truth. Despite the post-election, bring-us-together talk of unity, this country is hopelessly divided on cultural, moral and political issues, and increasingly along racial and ethnic lines.

Many Trump voters believe Hillary Clinton belongs in a minimum-security facility, while Hillary Clinton told her LGBT supporters half of Trump's voters were racists, sexists, homophobes, xenophobes and bigots.

Donald Trump's presidency will be a besieged presidency, and he would do well to enlist, politically speaking, a war cabinet and White House staff that relishes a fight and does not run.

The battle of 2016 is over.

The long war of the Trump presidency has only just begun.

Buchanan is right.

We can't be like the Republican presidents and Establishment Republicans of the past and let the MSM take free shots at us.

They have become too mean and belligerent. There are too many people who have been brainwashed -- by the MSM, Hollywood and their teachers -- who are on their side.

We need to fight. We need to expose them and open the eyes of the American people.

Trump cannot operate his presidency and we cannot fix this country until the tyranny of the MSM is defeated.

Pat nails it here.

“...tyranny of the MSM is defeated.” That will be a task to undertake.

Hillary will not be doing any jail time if Obama pardons her. It could be that Trump is playing rope-a-dope with Obama.

There is an obvious way to avoid all of this.

[We need to fight. We need to expose them and open the eyes of the American people.]

This is a Spiritual battle for the soul of America. Our protection is The Armor of GOD. The LORD is in Command.

The Whole Armor of God

10 A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power. 11 Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. 12 For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.

13 Therefore, put on every piece of God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm. 14 Stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth and the body armor of God’s righteousness. 15 For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News so that you will be fully prepared.16 In addition to all of these, hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil. 17 Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

18 Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere.

Let’s correct that bit of stupidity.
Hillary will not be doing any United States jail time if Obozo pardons her.

There. Now it resembles accuracy.

“Buchanan is right.”

Yes he is right. Trump is already carrying the fight to the enemy’s stronghold though - the left media whores.

We needed Reagan to break the foreign enemies of the Cold War.

Trump will be carrying the fight to the domestic enemies of the Culture War.

And they are that - enemies.

Yes he did. And some didn’t “get it.” Trump can hurt the media if he wants to and still get his message out unfiltered by these vermin.

Trump can’t do by himself

No longer can the SILENT Majority stay silent

A push back has to come or we will eventually lose

That is why the country is as bad off as it is today

While I appreciate Buchanan’s candor, I would hate to play chess with President Elect Trump. He is so far ahead of the MSM they are beside themselves.

If the Republican Congress has any sense, it will realize the extent to which the MSM threatens national security and grant Trump the powers he needs. The First Amendment does not protect subversion, so

Trump should be granted a free hand to shut down subversive media outlets and detain “journalists” who are spreading lies and anti-American propaganda. Start with CNN and CBS. Give the others a chance to fall in line, but close them down as well unless they are seriously reformed and purged of subversives.

I disagree. Trump doesn’t need to — and shouldn’t — infringe on First Amendment rights, nor should he shut down any media organizations.

He should use the platform of the presidency to fight them and expose them.
