The Trump team had known for months that, far from getting even a reasonably fair shake from the Fake News media (and even conservative media), they would face the most blistering, unrelenting, baseless and usually cowardly attacks of any Presidential administration since Abraham Lincoln’s. Team Trump knew that the only hope the Democrats had of stopping the Trump agenda was the “Russian collusion” story, concocted immediately after Hillary Clinton’s loss to explain away her pathetic and horrid campaign. Moreover, Team Trump—and here I’m largely speaking of Steve Bannon and Stephen Miller—fully understood Alinsky-ism and the tactic of isolating people and programs to destroy them one at a time. Even before the inauguration, Bannon had a massive white board with strategic “rollouts” during the first days, not just weeks, and they were all over the map. Everything from regulatory rollback, ending the “mandate” in Obamacare, elevated levels of vetting “refugees,” a travel ban, tax relief, new arrangements with allies—these were all in place when I visited Trump Tower just before the Inauguration.
“How do you like how we’re flooding the zone?” Bannon asked me. Indeed that perfectly described it. The initiatives were so varied, so widespread, that none could be isolated without giving up on all the others, and therefore, none could be attacked with Alinsky tactics.

never, never, never underestimate the power of sheer HATE, which is what these folks are running on.
_____________
Hate is draining, corrosive and, in the end, detrimental to the hater. Resentment poisons the person experiencing it.
Look what their hatred has done so far to the donks, their party and its leadership.
“...it’s a tough fight, because he’s seriously outnumbered…”
1 man + God = A majority
Pray every day for the President, his Cabinet, Advisors and their families.
Great stuff! Thanks.
People keep whining about how slow he is to bring Deep State actors to justice. This article touches on the reason why. It takes time to lay the groundwork. The D-Day analogy is perfect for illustrating what a monumental challenge he is up against.
For those of you on Twitter, following Larry Schweikert and @mitchellvii was the only thing that kept me sane on election night. Both are worth following.

I certainly hope that Mueller is being given all the rope he needs...
That’s a great response.
Yes. You are quite right about that. The only catch is that people who are consumed by hate can do quite a bit of damage during their downfall.
Great Response:
When my liberal cousin talks about what a moron
President Trump is, I just remind her he beat 19
republicans AND the smartest woman in the world.
If Washington DC can totally excuse ACTUAL obstruction of justice by Bill Clinton and then press on with "getting" President Trump for phony "obstruction of justice", I think we're done here discussing political solutions to the Swamp.
The Trump supporter beehive is buzzing loudly and getting angrier by the minute.
I will maintain that if they "get" President Trump, they'll use the government like 0bama did to also "get" and punish his supporters, Tea Party-style.
I see wild "Trump collaborator" charges on Twitter all the time, and what they're going to do to the "collaborators".
So we really have nothing to lose in a BAMN defense of our President.
Thanks for posting. LS, this is phenomenal! Astounding! You’re confirming what many of us out here in FReeperland suspected: intentional disinformation was being given to the MSM, and all the while, Trump and his team have been tirelessly accomplishing the tasks the American people wanted when we voted for him! This is very encouraging, thanks!
You’re welcome.
You’re welcome.
Very good, Larry. Most enjoyable read I’ve had in a while.
Great article ...rings true. Chess, checkers.
I had a feeling this was happening. I’m glad it is.
With you 100% there!
Oh...that was GOOD...so delicious
