Are Democrats setting a trap for Trump?
American Thinker ^ | August 12, 2022 | Joe Alton, M.D.

In Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, Admiral Ackbar believes he is ambushing a partly built "death star," only to find that it is fully operational and an enemy fleet has arrived. In a famous movie understatement, now embedded in pop culture, Ackbar exclaims, "It's a trap!" Now Democrats have planted an even more nefarious trap by having their minions in the FBI raid Donald Trump's home at Mar-a-Lago.

The former president's estate in Palm Beach, Florida was the subject of an FBI search warrant in the late hours on Monday by two dozen agents, with 15 boxes of documents removed from the premises. The papers allegedly contain classified national security information and correspondence between Mr. Trump and leaders of other countries.

Okay, that's a raid, not a trap. The trap is what the Democrats hope the volatile and impulsive ex-president does in response.

Perhaps the worst kept secret in politics is that Donald Trump will, sometime this year, announce his candidacy for the 2024 presidential election. The 2022 elections are still before us, however, and the Republicans are thought to have a good chance of reclaiming the House of Representatives in November, if not the Senate — that is, as long as no one rocks the boat.

The Democrats have had some limited success regaining momentum as a result of the January 6 committee hearings and the untimely decision of the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade. Their spin doctors are hard at work making small drops in gas prices and the rate of inflation look like a roaring economy despite two straight quarters of negative growth. Crime, immigration, and multiple other issues remain a burden for the left.

Everything the Democrats do each day of the week is a Trap. In his first year Trump fell into many—Even Jan.6th was a trap. Trump better start planning a few traps of his own. To keep power the Deep State Power party know that Trump must be destroyed—Fully! Kids too and the whole MAGA movement. Only by totally crushing this movement can they continue to leech off the Nation and people. They are fighting with all they have to preserve their standing, power and ultra wealth. We must do the same if we want things to change.

Our problem is that we don’t have a party fighting for us. If we did, things would be a LOT different.

If Trump is as smart as I believe him to be he will probably announce his candidacy somewhere between the end of the mid-term elections and Thanksgiving.

After a mid-term SWEEP of Trump backed candidates WINNING and the prevailing mindset of the Thanksgiving holiday, Trump would create a mammoth TIDAL WAVE of voter support.
