WaPo Admits Trump ‘Already Conquered’ Washington Before Inauguration

President-elect Donald Trump “already conquered” Washington, DC, before Inauguration Day, the Washington Post‘s Marianne LeVine, Clara Ence Morse, and Aaron Schaffer admitted Saturday.

The report details a “stark contrast to his divisive entry in 2017 and departure in 2021” compared to Trump’s reelection, but it failed to mention the amount of obstacles he overcame to achieve the greatest political comeback in American history.

Trump ultimately defeated political opponents who tried to imprison him, bankrupt him, remove him from the ballot, and make him politically irrelevant by introducing a partisan committee to investigate January 6 — and whose inflammatory rhetoric created a ripe environment for two assassination attempts.

The omission amplifies the Post’s framing of Trump’s return to Washington:

President-elect Donald Trump is returning to Washington triumphant: His legal cases are behind him, corporate executives are flocking to Mar-a-Lago to meet with him, his inaugural committee has raised record sums of money for Monday’s ceremony and the Republican Party is now fully in his control.

It’s a stark contrast both to his 2017 inauguration — when Trump came to Washington as a political unknown without close personal relationships to his Cabinet or congressional leaders — and to his departure from the Oval Office in January 2021, when he was widely condemned for the deadly Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol by a pro-Trump mob.

Now, many of his Cabinet picks appear poised to sail through the Republican-controlled Senate, including his controversial pick for defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, whose nomination seemed in danger just a month ago. Trump is expected to sign scores of executive orders as he takes office, especially on the border, a central issue of his presidential campaign. He is personally

Right. Looking forward to his recognition of the Reciprocal Gun Rights amendment, and maybe the Voter Identification Amendment, and. . .

“Trump ultimately defeated political opponents who tried to imprison him, bankrupt him, remove him from the ballot, and make him politically irrelevant...”

That’s not all they tried.

Kissing up. They don’t want their reporters sent to the back row. Too many folk are suddenly flipping sides which throws up far too many red flags.

We tried to tell Trump last time but he was too trusting. He knows full well how D.C. plays this time. Melania is ticked off, too. She expressed herself with careful detail to fashion and stayed in the background. It appears she’s found her voice so hopefully will set some people right.

“and the Republican Party is now fully in his control.”

I wouldn’t count on that. Lots of RINOS are left

Trump hasn’t defeated the deep state yet. I hoping for a thorough top to bottom purge.

“It’s hard to reflect, it’s hard for it to sink in that we’re done here — until we’re actually done and out the gates with our stuff,” one White House official told NBC News. “That’s their mood… it hasn’t sunk in for people who are still here yet because we’re working until the last minute.”

And what are the little leftist snakes “working” on, do you suppose?

With Mitch McConnell being one of them.

How many Zionists did you find in the US Congress?

https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2025/01/02/faith-on-the-hill-2025/

32 Jews listed out of 532

As of 2023, the world’s core Jewish population was estimated at 15.7 million, which is approximately 0.2% of the 8 billion worldwide population.

They all genuflect to AIPAC.

How many of our critters have dual-citizenship with Israel?

DC was in shock for many weeks. They actually believed their own BS that has worked for years.
