I guess what I’m trying to express is there is a difference between pure speculation and reasoned thought. In investing it’s called due diligence.
Here are things so know are fact. Trump tells the truth always. There is no hidden meaning in anything he says. You have to take his statements in a literal manner. When he said he was going to teach the GOP to win, he literally meant it. He telegraphs his every move.
He uses the press to his advantage. “Leaks” are not only used to weed out leakers, but also to bring attention to a member of his cabinet. Whenever this happens watch what that person does.
Another thing to always remember is his “advisors” work for him. There is no discourse in the white house. This is used as a cover. When an “advisor”,such as Bannon, Gorkha, Scaramucci, etc, have served thier purpose they are used as a “canary trap”. Some of them were only hired to catch leakers.
The events happening in the world that have to be taken care of are being taken care of. North Korea, Iran, Russia, China, middle East peace will all be resolved. Antifa, BLM and other groups will be dismantled. Those that run and fund them are being or will be arrested. It is All happening as we speak.
Gen Mattis recently spoke to members of the military. He specifically asked them to hold the line while we get the US back in order.
We all need to hold the line. Trust in our President. He is the only person standing in the breach. We owe it to him.
Thanks for your optimistic thoughts, PJ.
WRT pure speculation/reasoned thought: I would suspect that reasoned thought at times has its roots in speculation, which sparks those reasoned thoughts. The crazy “out there” material which has no basis in truth is often composed for click bait. There is other material which, while not yet accepted by the ‘mainstream’, is based on legitimate observations. Yes, it is due diligence to read, observe, and think, and so on this, we agree.
I know in my heart that DJT always tells the truth: open, honest truth. One time he told an interviewer that if anything, he is too honest for politics.
I am unconvinced about the agendas of those who currently advise him and some in cabinet positions: Sessions, Mathis, Tillerson, McMasters, Powell, Cohn. Yes, they work for DJT but IMO they are not to be trusted.
There are three cabinet members who I have total faith in: Wilbur Ross, Betsy DeVos, and Ben Carson. They are true patriots.
Where I differ in perspective is that I make the distinction between foreign and domestic affairs.
My foreign affairs stance is the same as G.Washington and Candidate Trump. Not isolationism, just not aggressive intervention. Our intelligence agencies appear to be splintered into those who engage in nefarious activity for global power, and those who genuinely love our country.
I believe there is more to N.Korea, China, Russia, Syria, Libya, S. Arabia, etc. than the perspective given to us. Clinton/Bush/Obama got us into this huge mess and now DJT has to clean it up. But, I’m still skeptical of all these wars, the true motives which underlay them, and who really benefits. I don’t think its our job to be the world’s “policeman”, to offer our troops up in sacrifice so that some of our leaders can personally enrich themselves (ex. Clinton).
Internationals like Soros interfere with our domestic affairs and promote discord, dissension, and revolution, and because of this, I support banning him from our country (as Putin did his country) and seizing his assets wherever we can. We also need to strip citizenship and deport ALL citizens who actively support communism. Years ago the Communist Party was illegal in our country.
The communists are a serious threat to the very foundations of our Republic and need to be accordingly removed, citizen and non-citizen alike.
Sorry for the rant!
