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.

I’ve been thinking for a few weeks that Pres. Trump’s tweets are in fact ‘shiny objects,’ and that when he fires off a tweet storm, he’s probably getting something done that he doesn’t want the Fake News Media to spend much time on.
winning ping
On Bannon’s whiteboard of strategic rollouts, do you recall any items targeting soros himself? If they neuter or eliminate soros, Team Trump’s job becomes much easier.
Is it possible Mueller was chosen with Trump’s full knowledge and blessing? Perhaps choosing an old friend of Comey’s to take over the Russia investigation was done to give him a false sense of security? A false sense of security can cause a person to keep his guard down. I’m not saying this is true. Just speculation on my part. But if true, then maybe Trump has advanced from 4D chess to 5D chess.
Great article. Thanks for posting.
I’m more than impressed with Team Trump.
> I’m starting to get concerned over Mueller.
You should be. He’s the one who tried FBI agents on how awesome Islam is. The FBI has been a total joke when it comes to stopping Muslim terrorists since then.
>Mueller and Comey are bffs. Whoever thought Mueller was a good choice as special counsel should be fired.
Deputy head of the DOJ, a guy Sessions personally selected. Sessions isn’t the right guy to play hardball in the DOJ. Trump is going to have to replace him or get a Deputy that will kickass and chew bubble gum and get stuff done.
Great Article LS, yes I didn't see Sekelow on Team Trump until he was on TV denoting it, wow, when and where did that happen. Anyway Team Trump is manning up with some real warriors.
Cowboys love little warm puppies, children and girls of the night.
SHHH!
Now they’ll look into it...
You’welcome.
The Russian collusion theory may not have been put into play until after Hildabeast's loss, but the Dimocrats were getting the story ready at least by June of last year.
Bets on how much longer till Mueller’s gone? I’m going to say - by next Monday.
This is entirely possible.
But the whole thing started on fake premises as Combover admitted, so fruit of poison tree.
No. And I think that would be illegal for US govt to “target” a citizen.
This is a fantastic, uplifting article. Been moving my sister for days and needed some encouraging news.
