An Escalator Ride Into Hell
Townhall.com ^ | January 17, 2021 | Jeff Crouere

Prior to entry into politics, Donald Trump was a celebrity loved by the media and adored by millions of Americans. He was a successful real estate developer and the star of a reality TV show. His life was fabulous, full of success and praise from across the country.

It all changed for Donald Trump on June 16, 2015, when he announced his presidential campaign after the famous escalator ride. His media coverage immediately changed from positive to unrelentingly negative. During his speech, Trump told the truth about Mexico sending criminals into the country. He was immediately labeled a “racist” and the hateful attacks have never stopped.

In the following 67 months, he has faced a myriad of enemies including establishment Republicans, Democrats, the media, and the “Deep State.” Despite horrible media coverage and a false campaign to connect him to Russia, he was elected president of the United States four years ago. This was a major upset and it shocked and horrified the political establishment of both parties.

The American people learned later Trump was the victim of a spying and disinformation campaign. The phony dossier compiled by former British spy Christopher Steele led to the biased Mueller investigation, which ultimately exonerated the president of Russian “collusion” and found no evidence of obstruction of justice.

Once the president was finished with the Russian hoax, he was immediately thrust into the Ukrainian hoax. The scandal involves his “perfect” phone call to his Ukrainian counterpart asking for information about the investigation of the Biden family. Only later did the American people understand the extent of the shady Ukrainian deals involving Joe and Hunter Biden.

Even though Congress should have investigated the corrupt activities of the Biden family in Ukraine, the president was ultimately impeached in a phony and partisan witch hunt. Fortunately, he was acquitted by the U.S. Senate, but the impeachment certainly damaged his political standing, which was the goal of his enemies.

After COVID-19 was unleashed by communist China, the president was plunged into another scandal, not of his own making. Despite his excellent leadership and the tremendous success of “Operation Warp Speed,” the president was blamed for a supposedly slow response. The harsh economic lockdowns, instituted in states led by Democrat Governors, were financially devastating for millions of Americans, making the president’s re-election even more challenging.

While the hurdles were enormous, the president still generated almost 75 million votes, an increase of 12 million from four years earlier. The vote counting kept going until former Vice President Joe Biden was declared the winner.

The disgraceful mail-in voting procedures guaranteed millions of votes would be counted by states after Election Day. Once the election was extended, the president never had a chance. His legal challenges were repeatedly dismissed by judges who refused to look at the mountains of evidence assembled.

It should shock no one that the president and his supporters believe the election was stolen. It is what spurred one million people to descend on Washington D.C. to participate in the January 6th protest. This main event was totally nonviolent.

Unfortunately, some rally-goers then breached security at the U.S. Capitol. It is a true outrage that some people committed acts of violence and innocent people died, but it was not president Trump’s fault.

In his speech on January 6, the president called for protesters to “peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard” by marching to the U.S. Capitol. He never called for security to be breached or for the police to be attacked. He never encouraged vandalism, theft, or violence.

Nevertheless, he has been impeached and could face a trial in the U.S. Senate. The second impeachment of President Trump was even more unwarranted and vindictive than the first one. The unrelenting persecution of President Trump is a convenient way for the GOP establishment, the Democrats, the media, and the Deep State to divert attention from the real issue of electoral fraud.

Instead of discussing electoral fraud in depth, the congressional debate was shortened, and the electoral votes were overwhelmingly confirmed. The nation’s attention was immediately diverted to the U.S. Capitol protests and the supposedly impeachable actions of President Trump.

Along with the impeachment, the president has been censored from all his social media platforms and the mainstream news media is not covering his live speeches. The PGA decided not to hold their championship tournament at his New Jersey golf club and his company was booted from multiple contracts in New York City.

To add insult to injury, the president’s bank dropped him, and other financial institutions will shy away from dealing with any entities associated with him in the future. No doubt, he will also face prosecution from deranged leftists when he leaves office.

Ironically, while these attacks continue, the true crimes of electoral fraud have not been punished or truly investigated. Why is this happening? Because Donald Trump tried to implement his “American First” platform that was the centerpiece of his 2016 presidential campaign. He had the courage and audacity to challenge the Deep State and expose their corruption. Their hatred for him will never end.

No one in political life has been mistreated as much as President Trump. Amazingly, he may want to run for the White House again in 2024. Hopefully, he will not give up this fight to “Make America Great Again.”

No other political leader has the same level of support as President Trump. No one is as courageous and forceful in pursuing this agenda. Hopefully, the American people will not forget how he has been victimized by his enemies.

The Biden administration will be a major failure and there will be an opening for President Trump to save the country again in 2024. Let us just hope there is a country left to save.

On a related note, Deep State says the US don’t need no borders or voter ID, but for some reason the Capitol now has walls and you now have to show ID to enter DC.

Go figure.

Is it too late for our President to declare Marshal Law?

All of that was enabled by a weak and corrupt republican party.

"I can’t believe it- they want to destroy him. Ruin him. It makes no sense- just let the man be."

That is not the "communist way". Study the history of the Soviet Union. If anyone still doubts that the communists have completely taken over the Democrat party, this should be more than sufficient proof.

This has ALL happened before in other nations.

We’re not on an escalator ride to hell.

On the 20th, we go over the edge of a cliff and it’s a free fall into hell.

These idiots who think there are any fair elections in the future are delusional. The swamp learned the lesson. Neveragain will a true reformer be given real power.

They are evil, vengeful, hateful, and otherwise demonically fueled in their response to him.

No, it doesn’t make any sense, but it does explain it.

And they are willing to destroy this country to rid it of the likes of Trump and us.

The migrant caravan, and others like it, will push this country into anarchy as the lawless illegals infiltrate everywhere.

People will need to do what it takes to eradicate this threat. No more nice guy dealings with someone who tries to rob or rape you.

Be armed and willing to use it.

You’re not.

Those thinking that we stand any kind of chance in 2022 or beyond are dreaming.

If Trump leaves office he is a marked man. They will kill him and his family. I’m sure he knows this.

That's exactly why he should de-classify and release everything.

It's irrelevant if he doesn't because they will still be after blood. He might as well and do what damage he can because he cannot provoke any worse a reaction out of them than they are already planning.

The fences, barbed wire, and 20,000 ground troops are a manifestation of the lack of trust between the Deep State and the citizens. They're in it for their own enrichment at the expense and destruction of the U.S. middle class. They hate us and will make damn sure no populist, with crazy notions of raising the average persons living standards, ever gains power.

No Trump was not loved by all before his announcement. Trump was hated by many even before his Apprentice Show. A lot of people hated him for his stance on the Birther Movement. As was witnessed when it culminated when 0bozo invited Trump and sat him near the front. 0Bozo then proceeded to lambast him publicly in a speech. So no the Donald was not loved by all.

Here’s what will become known down the road.

Trump was approached to run in 2014-2015 by military intelligence. They promised him they would protect him if he would run.

Trump knew when he came down the escalator that he was going to take out the deep state and drain the swamp.

Trump’s four year first term was a large sting operation.

Currently we are witnessing the final chapter of the sting operation.

The smooth transition has already happened. The military coming in and the forthcoming martial law is just the mop up operation.

The next four years will be spent on the great resurgence Trump keeps talking about.

I don’t think Trump would never tolerate being in Congress due to his mercurial temperament and high energy. Congress is for slugs and leeches. Better he goes to FL and works to become president there after the secession. FL will need to make treaties with other new republics like Texas and old nations like Mexico, and Trump is well-suited for those tasks. ;)

DITTO DITTO DITTO - That’s been my point ever since the very first mention of the mail in vote and using the CV as the excuse to create the way for stuffing the ballots to cover the created electronic votes was the ‘fix’ in critical states!

So there will be NO MORE VALID elections only SELECTIONS and we are doomed unless...
