The Real Power Of Trump

Donald Trump is more than just the leader of the free world, he is a movement in and of himself. Using a single tweet or Facebook post, he can reach millions of Americans and make or break a single idea. If Donald Trump tweets a stranger's name, that stranger becomes famous overnight. If Donald Trump doesn't like the way mainstream media covers his policies, he can change the narrative in an instant. There has never been a more powerful man in American politics than Donald Trump. His very existence as an entity on the world stage is historic.

When Trump won on November 8, America became a different place. It had been building up for years, but with Trump's victory came the defeat of the mainstream narratives that helped put Barack Obama, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton into office. The same narrative that was supposed to make Crooked Hillary Clinton the 45th president failed, marking the beginning of something new and exciting. Deep blue Democrat states like New York and California couldn't compete with the tired and forgotten people of Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Ohio. Donald Trump's ability to reach millions more people than CNN, MSNBC and the left-wing media caused America's establishment to cave in. 2017 will be the worst year for mainstream media, with faith in their abilities to report news at 32% among Americans. CNN's penchant for chronic lying has sunk its ratings and credibility to the lowest level in its history, which will likely make 2017 one of the toughest years for the news network. All of this only makes the Donald Trump machine more powerful.

Here’s Trumps’ legacy: Destroying Political Correctness and bring masculinity back in vogue.

Those two seemingly small things are the cures for the majority of ills that face the country.

We don’t need the “old gotcha” press conferences. With the whining and lying liberal mediots attacking our president. We are tired of the mediots lying and telling us what to believe and how to vote! Ban them from the White House. Trump’s comments and statements are for his voters. We don’t need lying liberal mediots to tell us what he says to us.

Official Washington is being traumatized by the tweets of Donald Trump.

Politico has chronicled the pearl clutching concern by the inside the beltway types over Trump's tweets. Trump speaking directly to the people via Twitter is causing a crisis among mediots, politicians and lobbyists. They just don't know how to handle it as the article title, “Trump’s Twitter feed traumatizes Washington.”

Trump’s tweets and facebook posts wouldn’t have any effect at all if it weren’t for the legions of American citizens who happen to agree with him.

No living human being other than Donald Trump could have pulled this off — a final, last gasp effort to reaffirm the Constitutional foundations of the U.S. Only he had the combination of money, personality/brashness, thick skin, physical stamina, and singular focus to accomplish this. There is no one else who was tough enough to endure the campaign, non-stop attacks, and a f*** you attitude. I have no idea what the future holds for him and our country, but at least the America as we all knew it has a fighting chance.

Oh, and let there be no doubt — what you’re seeing is a personal war between Soros and Trump. Not sure if Trump recognizes that yet or not, but he will.

Trump’s destruction of Political Correctness has enboldened the left who have dropped any pretense of living by their code of imposition.

He is MORE than our usual (”it is my turn, I’m dynasty”)president. He actually IS a “President”.

I'm sure he does.

And this war is governed NOT about who has the most money.. but who is the smarter warrior.

Look at Soros tactics, then at Trump's.. and the question answers itself.

I'll give 2 to 1 odds Trump wins easily once he becomes engaged.

Third fact of President Trump's landmark victory one that we will remember forever is that America has a strong, very strong, leader. Obama was a leadership void as was Hillary. President Trump rushed in and filled that void. America is embracing him.

A BIG movement all by himself.

And though there are plenty of asses in DC, there are none so large they might pass this movement

President Trump promised to make a difference.
He is well on his way!
Hooray!

I don’t know a specific date but sometime in early 2016, he “ran outta bubble gum”.
