The Political Genius of Donald Trump
American Thinker ^ | Wen Wryte

Posted on 06/23/2020 3:25:54 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

The word ‘genius’ is not often appended to Donald Trump, except perhaps by himself, but he has demonstrated since early 2016 that he does indeed have a rare political genius. A man not given to modesty, President Trump can rightfully claim he embodies the American ideal of an assured sense of purpose that comes from totally believing in one’s own greatness. His campaign slogan of 2016 -- “Make America Great Again” -- was as much about hi[m as Ameica].

It is precisely this quality of character that has enabled Trump to be what he has become: the current symbol of the greatness that America once was and is already becoming again. But what is most impressive about Trump the man is something that would be a weakness in any other. He delights in fighting -- with unflagging energy -- the messy tactical engagements his political enemies force upon him, which would overwhelm a weaker man. But through all this Trump, the president has been implementing his political strategy as if the constant skirmishes with those trying to unseat him are a mere inconvenience. It is his opponents who are exhausting themselves, whilst seemingly making no dents in his armor, as he continues towards his goal.

So preoccupied with destroying Trump has the Democratic Party been since 2016 that their only success is their own survival. But the party is even more disunited than in 2016 and is having to downplay the extremism of a younger generation of neo-Marxist activists pushing policies ever leftwards in a way that is alien to most Americans.

Paradoxically, their latest presidential candidate looks as if he has just wandered out of a retirement home with an idea of what he’d like for lunch but no idea of how to get to the dining room.

Pompeo and Mulvaney may be too much alike....

Trump and Pence are surely a team....and Pence has done more as VP than any VP I can remember....and I'm 76. I doubt Pence would want to run for President in 2024. But he sure would be an asset as he appears to have mitigating skills as shown by his relationship with Governors.

Because they appeal to the base degenerate part of human nature. That will exist until the end of Time. Satan’s MO has always been deception. Now his time is short so what was muted is now on full raw display.
Watch their words and actions and it is exactly like their Father’s.
The Father Of Lies. Destruction and Lawlessness.

I don't think they've convinced anyone.

Remember, he opened his Florida golf course to Blacks and Jews. And he has probably hired more blacks than anyone on the planet.

Democrat party = Communist party = NAZI Socialist party

A hybrid of the most evil attributes into one satanic group...not unlike the muzzoids.

I know quite a few people who are convinced that President Trump is a racist. "Look at his tweets!" they say.

I say, "Show me a specific tweet, because I don't think his tweets are racist."

They roll their eyes and say, "They're all racist and if you can't see it, you're a racist too."

I'm in MA and people here are insane.

That is typical Dem speak....They’re using all this crap to try and take him down....and get out the vote. They lost a lot of blacks to Trump in 2016...the Dems want them back.

The demo-bolsheviks have nothing in common with national socialism. National socialism arose, became popular, and eventually powerful to deal with the spread of bolshevik ideas into German politics.

That’s how KPD, Red Front, and Antifaschistische Aktion wound up in Buchenwald and Dachau. That’s how the world’s first transgender clinic and research center wound up burned out.

Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that.

Why isn’t #Trump stopping the Democrat looting and vandalism? Because most of the population of the US are sheeple, and sheeple won’t change their voting habits until they are directly affected by the destruction. That’s how sheeple are. So allowing the destruction is the only way to effect a change in behavior, which is the only way to effect positive long-term change. Think long-term, stop thinking like a child. Plus he’s putting the lower level drones in jail first, to minimize collateral damage. There will still be the most damage in liberal cities with weak liberal leaders. People need their stuff destroyed in order to illustrate how weak and incompetent the Dems really are. That’s the whole point of Trump doing nothing. People need to have their houses and businesses burned down before they will actually “get it” how awful and weak Dem leaders are. Stupid people are the norm now. They won’t change unless something happens directly to them.

From the why the GOP acts, most have joined the other side already. They seem to only care for their reelection and not the country.

... and they only care for their reelection because most of them are corrupt to the core.

They have many things in common:

A call to end limitations on government power.

Calls for economic "fairness" through redistribution by government.

A focus on supposed harms caused by one group (current harms by whites; National Socialists, harms by Jews).

A call for the government to control the economy.

The unwillingness to allow any opposing view, in public, or private.

______________________________________________________

Not even then, for some.

We’ve seen people beaten and insulted who still say:”I’m on your side.” Women raped who won’t ID the POC who did so because that would be snitching or would get them deported. People who say, “I agree with their cause,” after their business is destroyed.

The inculcation is so strong, any prog can do anything to anyone, not even a white, religious, conservative, but ANYONE and people grovel.

But, let one conservative say they are close to the breaking point over what is happening and lips tighten, people look to the side and the subject gets changed. Let Trump say it is disgraceful and the response is:

Racist.

So, when it comes to the end and the progs have won, will we burn in the camps, despite being armed to the teeth? Because I don’t think the guns are going change anything. They will get conservatives killed, imprisoned, red-flagged and cancelled.

No one who says a single word against all this is allowed to do so without consequences.

They don’t have people capable of leadership, vision or anything else... they don’t have any platform... except ‘HATE’ of everything and everyone who is NOT Liberal.

That is who they are.

Money, like power, is worthless if you don’t know how to use it.

“Pompeo and Mulvaney 2024”

I have posted this before. Mulvaney was a keynote speaker for our Lincoln Reagan Day Dinner a few years ago and started his speech speaking in Spanish and proceeded to tell us how important it was to pass some kind of bill for amnesty, at least for the young people. I was shocked and it tells you what you need to know. He has not changed.

I think Trump possessed two qualities that not one Democrat can possess. Trump is a CEO, not a politician and the second is Trump is the best Project Manager of all time. He is process and results oriented. Once he finishes with something, unless there is further use for the team or team member, he releases them, as we have seen over the last three years.

What no one seems to understand about Trump is he has projects running all over the world. This means he must know the geopolitical landscape, the issues and the risks and must be able to mitigate them prior to taking something on. And he has over 50 years of experience doing it.

Why would he do that.

The Democrats are showing the country their true colors and just how extreme they have become. Don't interfere with their self-destruction.

It is the Independents--those voters in the middle of the political spectrum--that elect a president.

By their support of the rioting, looting, and vandalism, the Democrats are painting themselves into an extreme Left/commie corner. Only brainwashed Lefties can approve of what they are doing.

AOC revealed so much about the Democrat party. She is a first term congresswoman from the Bronx yet she doesn’t represent any more people than a congressperson from anywhere else. Yet her positions have riled the likes of Wall Street elites to the point that they are financially supporting her primary rival. Why? Because they know if she continues to succeed at pushing her agenda, they lose.

When will the liberal media realize that if the Democrats succeed in transforming America into a Marxist mess similar to Venezuela, they too will lose. Show me one communist nation that has a free press—not Cuba, not Russia, not China, not Venezuela, and not North Korea. Yep, the media will be very early victims on the chopping block. Perhaps the media will recognize this fact before their heads fall in the bucket below the blade of the guillotine.

Actually, the Democrat party has embraced many leftwing NAZI Socialists as their mentors/messiahs...here’s a couple you may know:

1. Josef Goebbels - Ministry of Propaganda
2. Josef Mengele - Ministry of Human Sacrifice

You cannot spell N.A.Z.I. without the word Socialism.
