What created President Trump? By all accounts, Donald J. Trump was happy being the center of attention in his empire, both in development and then on TV. He donated to his favorite politicians like most rich do, and he basked in the associations with people like the Clintons, but something changed during the Obama years that led DJT to run for office. What was it? The left will tell us he is a manifestation of our racist nature, but since they use that for most of their primary justifications it has grown thin and is not supported by Trump’s past.
For what it’s worth I think he saw the social decline in our nation and realized he had an opportunity that was not available to him before. He played on the divisions created by the social warriors of the left, fighting to take control of the DNC and like a bull in a China shop charged into the havoc of the 2016 primaries. He was smart enough to know the left would not accept his position of putting America ahead of a one-world government, not making the LGBT… crowd the center of attention, or begging for the support of white liberal women, so he ran as a Republican. It should be noted that Trump has changed party affiliation several times switching from Republican to Democrat to Independent and back, like changing a suit. What he brought to the campaign was self-confidence and arrogance most professional politicians have been taught to hide. This resonated with the party faithful who really wanted to change the status quo of being the “loyal opposition” to the Democratic domination.
On the other side, the Democrats played the primary game, but it was clearly a rigged contest as the brokers in the party ordained Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton as their future Queen. She had filled all the right squares as first lady, one term Senator, and Secretary of State under Obama. Besides, who didn’t want a woman President, no matter how flawed? The party knew full well all her baggage but rested on their laurels as those deplorable Republicans ran such an awful candidate who didn’t care about all the social justice demands of the Democratic National Committee. HRC campaigned in places where she could feel adored like NYC, California, and Chicago. She left what she, and her advisors, were told were safe union states to fend for themselves. It didn’t look like she understood the American psyche for change every eight years or so. If the DNC did understand this they’ve put on a tremendous show of surprise when on election night all of a sudden the winner was DJT. It was as if they were shocked the public would elect a Philander. This is funny on its face since Hillary’s husband was elected despite his philandering.
Once the Democrats recovered from their shock, they spent the next four years doing everything they could to vilify the President. The Steele Dossier was their first shot. They denied the legitimacy of the election, marched in the streets with funny hats, waved rainbow flags, and voiced as much outrage as possible. This was all dutifully reported by a loving media who were equally shocked by Trump's victory. The Democratic-controlled House set records for the number of political impeachments they were willing to levy, knowing full well they didn’t have a snowball's chance of winning in the Senate.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump basked in the spotlight of their hate, while he changed federal spending priorities, and had his administration eliminate regulations by the truckload. Article after article came out shaming him and all the professional politicians couldn’t understand how he remained standing against their harsh words. Then COVID-19 came from China and the world changed. Now the nation was locked down, and the powers in the states wrestled with how to let everyone vote without having to prove they were voting. At the same time, they questioned the legitimacy of every offhand remark the President made as if they had been carved into stone tablets. What we see now is how the upper-level bureaucrats worked to undermine his positions as they prostituted themselves for the DNC. The death toll of the initial surge of COVID-19 deaths was frightening and the mismanagement of how to protect the most at risk is now legend. The fear of the average person grew to remarkable degrees, and seemingly along political lines for some reason. Today you still see liberals and Democrats who appear to carry those fears forward with masks, sanitizers, and limited social activities. The whole vaccine fiasco stands as a testament to how trusted bureaucracies like the CDC and the FDA can destroy confidence in their expertise and political neutrality. As a result, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris had only to campaign from some basement to win the election. An election where about 20,000 more votes were cast than had ever been cast before. How is that explained? For Democrats, it's simple – “Despite their best efforts the GOP was unable to curtail the poor black people’s ability to vote.” For Republicans, the answers are a little more complex and perhaps suspicious. But at the end, the votes were counted and Joe Biden and Kamala Harris swept into office with the promise of unifying the nation.
