Those who hated Trump don’t hate him any less, while those who had hopes for Trump, such as myself, now have to accept that those hopes never materialized. I think that if we imagine a Hillary Presidency then the word “evil” would be a good way to describe what such a Presidency would most likely have been like. Likewise, if I had to chose a single word to describe the Trump Presidency, at least so far, I think that that word should be “stupid”. I won’t even bother, as I had initially planned, to list all the stupid things Trump has said and done since his inauguration (those who think otherwise might as well stop reading here). I will say that it gives me no pleasure writing this because I also had hopes that Trump would fulfill at least some of his campaign promises (even though most of my support for him was based on the fact that he was not Hillary who, I still believe, would have brought the US and Russia to war against each other). Furthermore, each time I recall Trump’s inauguration speech I have this painful sense of a most important and totally missed opportunity: to finally restore the sovereignty of the US to the people of the US and to return to a civilized and rational international policy. Alas, this did not happen and that is a reality we have to accept and deal with. I also want to clarify that when I say that the Trump Presidency can be best summed up with the word “stupid” I don’t just mean The Donald himself. I mean the entire Administration (I don’t mention Congress, as Congress as been stupid for as long as I can recall it). If you wonder how I can call an entire administration “stupid” even though it is composed of often brilliant civil servants, lawyers, academic, technical specialists, etc I will simply reply that I don’t judge an administration by the resumes of those working for it, but simply by its output, what it actually does. If what this administration produces is a lot of stupid things, then this is a stupid administration. Stupid can mean many different things. For example, it can mean stupid threats against North Korea. That is a very frightening kind of stupid. But there is also a very good kind of stupid. For example, I think that the decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel is a wonderful kind of stupid which I warmly welcome. Why? Because it is the kind of stupid which tremendously weakens the AngloZionist Empire! Think of the damage this truly stupid move did not only to the international reputation of the US (which indeed was already pretty close to zero even before this latest move) but also to the US capability to get anything done at all in the Middle East. The military defeat of the US in Iraq and Afghanistan and the political defeat of the US in Syria just needed a little something extra to truly make the US irrelevant in the Middle East and, thanks to Donald Trump, this has now happened! Furthermore, there was a dirty little secret which everybody new about but which has now become a public fact: US= ISRAEL & ISRAEL=US Again this is all very good. Even better is the fact that the only ones disagreeing with this would be Honduras, Guatemala, Palau, Marshall Islands, Kiribati, Togo, Nauru, southern Sudan and, of course, Israel. The US foreign policy has become so outlandishly stupid that even the most subservient US puppet regimes (say, the UK, Norway, ROK or Japan) or are now forced to condemn it, at least publicly. A lot of credit here goes to Nikki Haley who, following this catastrophic vote, decided to make things even worse by blackmailing the UN and all its member states. Finally, President Trump himself sealed it all by giving Nikki Haley’s speech a very public endorsement. So stupid as this may have been, and stupid it really was, in this instance the results of this stupid decision were nothing short of a blessing for the Middle East: even Hamas is now finally talking again with Hezbollah and Iran! Just as we can sincerely thank President Obama for pushing Russia and China into each other’s arms, we can now all thank Nikki Haley and Trump for uniting the resistance to the state of Israel and the entire AngloZionist Empire. I can just about imagine the jubilation in Tehran when the Iranians heard the good news! But the good stupid does not stop there. The fact that the US elites are all involved in a giant shootout against each other by means of investigations, scandals, accusations, talk of impeachment, etc. is also a blessing because while they are busy fighting each other they are much less capable of focusing on their real opponents and enemies. For months now President Trump has mostly ruled the US by means of “tweets” which, of course, and by definition, amount to exactly nothing and there is nothing which could be seriously called a “US foreign policy” (with the exception of the never-ending stream of accusations, threats and grandstanding, which don’t qualify). There are real risks and opportunities resulting from this situation 1.Risks: when nobody is really in charge, each agency does pretty much what it wants. We saw that during the 2nd half of the Obama Presidency when State did one thing, the Pentagon another, and the CIA yet another. This resulted in outright goofy situation with US allies attacking each other in Syria and Iraq because they all reported to different agencies. The risk here is obvious: for example, when US diplomats made an agreement with Russia in Syria, the Pentagon torpedoed it the very next day by attacking Syrian forces. The recent attacks on the Russian Aerospace Forces base in Khmeimim (and the latest drone attack on that same base) would exactly fit that pattern. The Russians have been complaining for months now that the US are “non-agreement capable” and this can clearly be a problem and a risk. 2.Opportunities: when nobody is in charge then the AngloZionist Empire cannot really bring its full force against one specific target. Think of a car or bus in which all the passengers are fighting each other for the control of the steering wheel. This is bad for them, but good for everybody else as the only place this car or bus is headed for is the ditch. Furthermore, since currently the US is, at various degrees, threatening no less than 9 countries (Afghanistan, Syria, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Venezuela, Turkey, Pakistan, China) these threats sound rather hollow. Not only that, but should the US get seriously involved in any type of conflict with any one of these countries, this would open great opportunities for the others to take action. Considering how the US elites are busy fighting each other there and threatening everybody else there is very little change that the US could focus enough to seriously threaten any of its opponents. But this goes much further than the countries I mentioned here. There is a French expression which goes “when the cat’s away, the mice will play” and this is what we might see next: more countries following the example of the Philippines, which used to be a subservient US colony and which now is ruled by a man who has no problems publicly insulting the US President, at least when Obama was President (Duterte seems to like Trump more than Obama). There have already been signs that the South Koreans are taking their first timid steps towards telling “no” to Uncle Sam. I am not trying to paint a rosy picture of the situation, which is bad, no doubt about that. Having ignorant fools in charge of nuclear weapons is not good, by definition. But I do want to suggest two things: first, that no matter stupid Trump is, Hillary would have been infinitely worse and, second, that there are also some good aspects to the current vacuum of power in Washington, DC. If we can agree that anything that weakens the AngloZionist Empire is a good thing (including for the American people!), as is anything which brings its eventual demise closer, then there is a lot to be grateful for the past year. The Empire really began to crumble under George W. Bush (thanks Neocons!), and that process most definitely continued under Obama. However, Donald Trump is the one who truly given this process a tremendous acceleration which has, I think, brought it to a qualitatively new level. The risks ahead are still tremendous, but so far the Empire is losing and the Resistance to it is still winning. And that is a very good thing.

Either his own weakness or the fact he was coopted by the power structure or gave in to it as a result of phony Russian conspiracy theories or uncontrollable investigations resulted in his neutralization. I also agree with the commentary’s view that the struggle for control is neutralizing the yankee imperium somewhat, and I fully concur with the Saker’s view that the harpy would have been a far greater, more immediate danger. As for the question of whether the harpy would have been worse, all one has to do is remember that she was proposing a no-fly zone to protect the jihadi thugs the yankee imperium was sponsoring in Syria from the Russians. That is the evidence for the likelihood that the harpy’s triumph could have led to a fatal war. ReplyAgree/Disagree/Etc. This Commenter 3.Diversity Heretic says: January 11, 2018 at 7:00 am GMT • 100 Words @utu I’ve sometimes wondered about this too. Hillary, as a long and trusted member of the Deep State, might have been able to take a less confrontational attitude, at least in the short run, because the Deep State knew that she was acting in their best interests. My biggest problem with Hillary is that domestically she would have done all that she could to flood the U.S. with black and brown people to dispossess whites as quickly as possible. Trump’s taking a little longer. Jack Donovan argued that a Hillary presidency would have been better for the Alt-Right because the inability to alter the situation by means of the electoral process would have been obvious. A lot of Alt-Righters, and even middle-class Americans in fly-over country, are coming to the same conclusion in light of the performance of the Trump presidency. The Saker article is an example of this growing realization. • Replies: @Peter Akuleyev ReplyAgree/Disagree/Etc.

H. Clinton was also a consistent and unrepentant warmonger (Serbia, Iraq, Libya), while Trump had spoken against the Iraq war and in favor of repairing relations with Russia. Like Putin said in the Oliver Stone interview, when it comes to foreign policy, it doesn’t matter that much who is in the White House, because there is a continuity to US foreign policy. Looks like he was right. At least ISIS has been destroyed and the war in Syria is mostly over. Trump’s domestic policy, however, is an entirely different affair. The economy has picked up in a big way. And Trump has launched a counter-attack in the culture wars. He is against late-term abortion, against global warming alarmism, against demented transgenderism, against cheap race- and gender-baiting, against promoting violence by spreading BLM lies, and generally in favor of sanity. On the cultural front, Trump’s arrival is a breath of fresh air after eight stifling years of Obama. • Agree: Alden, Cloak And Dagger • Replies: @Peter Akuleyev , @FB ReplyAgree/Disagree/Etc.

Risks: when nobody is really in charge, each agency does pretty much what it wants. plus, in particular Having (ignorant fools) chaotic and disorganized people in charge of nuclear weapons is not good, by definition.

He maybe is. I don’t know. We simpletons can’t understand geniuses. On a more serious note, it appears he operates on intuition. I can think of one another guy who was operating on the same principle as a leader of a powerful nation. At the same time, all the greatest men of history operated on intuition a lot.

To return to a “civilized and rational international policy” would require a return to an era prior to 1845 and the War with Mexico. Since then the US, with pauses to regroup, has had little that was rational and nothing that was civilized in foreign policy. The same grasping Yankee mindset and cupidity that finally provoked the Civil War frames the ‘stupidity’ that has become honed into the actions of Americans today that The Saker rails about.

It would have been her against a Republican dominated Congress that hates her. She would be up to her eyeballs in investigations. No way she would have had the authority to start a war. The real question – for a novelist or a psychologist – is why she thought she should be President in the first place.

Here it is put forward by Patrick Armstrong, who occasionally posts here, I think, and at SST: Trump Cuts the Gordian Knot of Foreign Entanglements So, for instance: Trump’s bumbling Jerusalem announcement was a clever way to get out of UN dues and other international aid payments, and also a big step towards discrediting the US as a mediator in the Arab/Israeli dispute, so Trump can be “forced” to walk away from those commitments; Trump alienating European allies over the Iran agreement, the Jerusalem agreement etc is a cunning ploy to get the US out of its NATO entanglement; Trump’s clumsy criticism of Pakistan was an attempt to provoke them into making it impossible for the US presence in Afghanistan to be maintained, so Trump can be”forced” to withdraw from that stupid, endless commitment. Picking a fight with North Korea could be a way to get South Korea to finally boot out the US presence there and stand on its own feet again, saving the US a fortune; Etc (these are by no means all suggestions from Armstrong’s particular enunciation of the case). I’ve every respect for Armstrong as an informed and intelligent observer of world events, as well as for others I’ve seen raising this line of argument, and I certainly can see the point he and others are floating here, but I’m not buying it yet myself. It just seems to me that all these bumblings are more straightforwardly explained by simple foreign policy incompetence, employing buffoons like Haley, and following bad advice, on Trump’s part. I’ve always been a Trump supporter and I’ve never bought the line that he’s stupid, but I do think he is ignorant of the issues involved in foreign policy, and hostage to some very, very dubious advisers (especially on Israel-related issues and on Iran). Whether that would prove to be a problem was always going to depend, as it did with Bush II, on which advisers managed to monopolise his attention, and as it has turned out we’ve not been fortunate in that. Though there’s always the possibility that even if his bumbling is not a cunning plan to bring about a reduction in US interventionism, it could end up doing so anyway, by some of the mechanisms proposed above. • Replies: @peterAUS , @anon , @Anonymous ReplyAgree/Disagree/Etc.

It is heavily biased and not well written, but, with some effort, we can find a lot of answers there. My ….interest…isn’t so much about Trump, actually. It is what it is. Interesting is how we all got here. And, looking at how Oprah is seen as a feasible contender for next Presidency….something isn’t quite right here. Like….the paradigm shifted. Presidents/Prime Ministers felt before as simple front men/errand boys for the true power. With Trump and, well Oprah (or somebody similar) that reality just got into our faces. Circus, really. Or some sort of comedy. I guess it tells us more about ourselves than them. Like all system is f*&ked up. From The Book one gets the dynamics of that chaos, lack of structure and disorganization in Administration. Unfortunately, there is a method there. A smart rulers do that, for certain reasons. The problem is…..they do have to be good in actually fine manipulation of that chaos. Or…have somebody doing it for them (Richelieu , Bismarck etc…). It appears that Trump operates on intuition by observing, almost in real time, the mood of American public. The problems there is, he gets the mood through MSM. Not good. Then, even if the mood is judged properly, he appears not to have a vision at all. And even if he had a vision, a well oiled mechanism is needed to implement the vision. As I mentioned before, a certain guy also operated on “vision/intuition” thing, but he had iron mechanisms behind him, both civilian administration and military structure. We know what happened when he dismissed the professionals and started to rely on his vision only. Well…if some mistake (result of chaos) doesn’t create a serious military confrontation with either superpower, maybe something good could come out of it. It is possible.

He’s a very intelligent person, and in my opinion the best President the country has ever had. In order to understand him one needs to be able to figure out where he’s going with his statements – not from parsing each and every word but from the overall picture he tries to paint. And not from just one statement but from the sum of many as time goes on. Trump is like the quantum concept of the electron – he’s here, then there, and when you try to say exactly where he is, you find he’s somewhere else. But overall, he knows exactly where the nucleus is as he buzzes around it. He may by turns seem weak, overconfident, being made a tool, silly, etc. But his eye is always on the ball.

I still tend to think Trump has most likely been advised that war with either NK or Iran would be too risky and too costly, but I wouldn’t bet my house on it in either case. However, I’m convinced Trump will NOT take us into war with either North Korea, or Iran. Once that’s out of the way, the whole stupidity factor looms a lot less worryingly.

I have already stated on this site that Trump’s bid to enter the reformers club is pretty much hampered by his reaching power without having a strong third party behind him. He is bound by the diktats of the deep state and the most he can manage is to sabotage the system through guile. His mission is truly impossible. Gorbatchev was another failed reformer who nevertheless managed to destroy the old system but his victory was worse than a phyrric one as he moved the situation from a bad system to total chaos of the uncreative destruction type as the Soviet Union morphed into oligarchic Russia. Truly, the only 20th century impressive reformer, notwithstanding the controversy surrounding his name, was Adolf Hitler. He was guided by a vision and after he cumulated many successes started to act on intuition bypassing the guidance of his party and state apparatus, both the civil and the military one, which led him to commit some grave strategic errors that proved finally to be his undoing. Here I repeat what I have already stated on this site that Hitler came to power within weeks from FDR’s ascendency, but Hitler managed to do in two years what FDR failed to do in six years of the New Deal with German unemployment falling from 25% under the Weimar Republic to 3%. Yet despite his successes, he did fight the recalcitrance of the bureaucracy by relying on the SA and the SS. Trump has nothing of this luxury and will invariably have to kowtow to the power structure to stay in power. That leaves the one truly successful Western reformer who managed to materialise his vision, the one and only Otto Von Bismarch, who knew how to play the different layers of the German societies against each other and managed to rule unhindered by the establishment guided by a visionary plan that was supported by extremely competent military and civilian officials. The US could have had a visionary reformer in JFK but unfortunately he was prematurely decommissioned by the deep state but Trump is light years behind JFK in intellect and articulation. Overall I would stick to Gerald Celente’s definition of the political establishment as cowards, fools, freaks and liars, a fact that is hard to swallow but true nonetheless. • Agree: bluedog • Replies: @peterAUS , @jilles dykstra ReplyAgree/Disagree/Etc.

I just think otherwise. A lot of things didn’t make sense before reading that book. Then, a couple of those just “clicked”; made sense. I view Trump as a failing would be reformer. I don’t. I see him exactly as described in the book, especially those paragraphs where, apparently, Bannon was quoted, before/around the win. He wasn’t thinking about any reforming because he didn’t think he’d win. Trump’s bid to enter the reformers club is pretty much hampered by his reaching power without having a strong third party behind him. I don’t think so. His bid was thwarted by not expecting to win in the first place. When that miracle happened he wasn’t a man up to the task to change from a businessman to a statesman.Some people can do that; great people. Trump wasn’t/isn’t that. That moment required a great man. Such a man just wasn’t there. Not the first time in history a golden opportunity was missed. He is bound by the diktats of the deep state and the most he can manage is to sabotage the system through guile. Don’t think so. He is simply using his instincts to play the game. Now…..maybe he’ll make it. Maybe he won’t. I don’t have those instincts. I also don’t believe one can lead a superpower based on instincts. Then, again I am just a simple man, not a person who won a miracle. So…maybe we’ll see some other miracle happening. They do, sometimes, happen. Very….very……rarely though. My impression is that he/we already had one and won’t have anymore. Well, mentioning that guy, here, is invitation for a long “thread hijack”, so, let’s keep it brief. Yet despite his successes, he did fight the recalcitrance of the bureaucracy by relying on the SA and the SS. And, yet….he betrayed the SA and used the military with organizational culture from days of Moltke and beyond. Apart from a desire for a change in huge part of society and, apparently, working based on intuition, he and Trump have nothing in common. Overall I would stick to Gerald Celente’s definition of the political establishment as cowards, fools, freaks and liars, a fact that is hard to swallow but true nonetheless.

Where you are almost certainly wrong is your conclusion: “This entire economy is a soap bubble that is about to burst…and it’s going to happen on Dump’s watch…” This is an exaggeration. The moment of US failure (the financial tsunami from the accumulated fixing and rigging of absolutely all “markets”) is hard to predict, but I would give it more than three remaining years (yes, a one term president). Trump is for US what Brezhnev was for Soviet Union – the Dotart in Chief signalling the end. It took nine years after Brezhnev’s death for SU to collapse, whilst US is a bigger economic system and thus should be more resilient (although it is also much more rotten). Regarding Saker, I made exactly the same point to a friend – the misfortune of US was the terrible choice between evil and stupid, or as someone quipped, the worst candidate in US history lost to the second worst candidate in US history. But unlike Saker, I do think that US people amply deserved it even if not aware of the death, destruction and chaos their compatriots were sowing around the World, for profit and for Israhell. • Replies: @Twodees Partain ReplyAgree/Disagree/Etc.

In fact, I have repeated elsewhere, Trumps by far is the most honest & integrity Potus in entire US history. At least he speak his mind(put aside stupidity), try his utter best to keep all his election promises(rt/wrong are what you people wanted) and fight courageously alone with his only little tool – Twitter – against the siege & onslaught of MSM, whole world hypocrite leaders, entire states organs, both parties, congress, CIA, FBI, and those foolish people blaming him for doing what you people elected him for. Most will give up under such incredible conditions, but Trumps fight on to expose & tear down deep states. That alone make him worth a Potus, a man that fight against all odds for what he believe is best(rt/wrong aside). Remember its US people that elected Potus & all politicians into office, not other nations, so you are solely responsible for all their actions. Osama BL had correctly pointed this out, so don’t blame others but yourself when you get the “returns”. Look at what all past hypocrite Potus ever did, only empty promises, shameless lying, corruption, destroying others countries, violent sowing everywhere, wars, more wars, massacring tens of millions innocents in humanity excuse. If Trumps only play bluffs but never initiate any wars in his term, he will simply be the greatest Potus in entire US history. US needs tons of shock to wake up from its deep brainwashed state, unite to destroy their own monstrous government, then build everything new based on true equality, humanity & benevolent kindness with entire world.

Lasch already at the end of the seventies judged the USA education system as deplorable. Over here it is not much better, I have children from two marriages, so I could follow the deterioration. In my opinion a university degree here is not much more, maybe even less, than a gymnasium education around 1960, when I graduated. 74% of the Dutch, according to a poll, seem to believe that our media ara politically neutral. I just critised our state tv for CO2 propaganda, bringing as certain that reducing CO2 is good for us. They replied that they follow the majority of the scientists. Science, however, was never democratic, never a majority decision. Einstein published his theories in 1904/1905, it was just in 1917 that an independent experiment confirmed his theory. Even then in the thirties in Oxford GB his theories were denied. Contrary to denying CO2 climate change, this was denying, as the 1917 experiment had proven.

John McCain and Barack Obama fit that saying better. Hillary was the worst candidate in history once she became the candidate, but before her, McCain held the title. I can’t hand Obama the title because he proved to be so bad that he’s in a class by himself. Trump will probably prove unable, no matter how bad he is, to beat Obama as the worst president in my lifetime. The title of worst president in history still goes, for now, to FDR.

And Sebastopol on the Crimea is not just a port, it is the main Russian naval base. But it was a win win game, Russia could have lost Sebastopol, or can now be blamed for land grabbing, an excuse for war. Neverthless, the important E Ukraine, minerals and heavy industry, still is not in NATO’s hand, yet. And many in the EU resent Brussels’ war mongering.

Increased CO2 in atmosphere is to the certain part compensated by photosynthesis in plants, so we should not worry too much about that. ReplyAgree/Disagree/Etc.

Hillary: I think Hillary would have been a much better deal for Putin than Trump. The most logical explanation of the known facts is that, at the time of the Ukrainian coup, Nuland and Putin were in cahoots. Nuland was a very like candidate for Secretary of State in Hillary’s cabinet. Since the neocons wanted to save their Russian “asset”, Hillary would probably have done a deal with Putin to the EU and Ukraine’s disadvantage. She had the political credibility to sell that deal to Congress and force both the EU and Ukraine to acquiesce in it. Trump doesn’t have that credibility and the widespread belief that he is both stupid and politically naïve caused people to fear that he would be manipulated by Putin, to America’s disadvantage. Hence Russiagate. Thus, trying to manipulate the election in Trump’s favour was almost the stupidest thing Putin has done. Almost. Anglo-Zionist: the author’s teeth gnashing on this point is due to Putin’s stupidest move: wading into the Syrian civil war to prop up Assad. Judging by what his American supporters were writing at the time, the purpose was to elbow his way into the “war on terror” as a US ally and then claim his reward in Ukraine. Instead of that, he made himself the enemy of Israel, causing the US neocons to break with him, and compounded his error by snuggling up to Iran. I think Syria will be the fatal blunder which will ultimately bring Putin down. China: why would a country of 1.4 billion people and well on the way to becoming the world’s dominant power need an ally like the Russian Federation, population 145 million, which has existed as a sovereign state for only about 25 years, is merely the largest single piece of wreckage from the collapse of the Soviet Union and has got itself into a wholly gratuitous fight with China’s trading partner of choice, the EU? On the contrary, China seems, much more logically, to be undermining Putin by disenclaving the Central Asian republics, linking them by rail to ports in China and Iran, thereby breaking the Russian stranglehold over their communications. • Replies: @Ilyana_Rozumova ReplyAgree/Disagree/Etc.

Pretty much. He is simply running the highest office there as he has been running his businesses. If the ‘no preference’ or blank vote makes up for more than 50% of total voting, then the election is declared null and void; that would be much better than voting for the lesser evil. Yup. Also, people simply don’t need to vote. Or there are other options to, effectively, make elections null and void. I guess my point is that we are where we are because of what and who we are. Majority that is. • Replies: @Ilyana_Rozumova ReplyAgree/Disagree/Etc.

Saker obviously doesn’t understand President Trump. He is a New Yorker. Saker obviously doesn’t understand New Yorkers. Trump is doing a fantastic job. (1) Hillary is NOT president. (2) Neil Gorsuch on the Supreme Court. (3) And this is the BIGGEST triumph of President Trump’s term, he has single-handedly outed the Deep State for all to see. He has brought the swamp to light. Nowhere does Saker realize this and misses this completely! I mean look at the collusion, the attempted coup-de-etat between the FBI, the DOJ, and other components of the Deep State. That has been exposed. That the Bureaucracy of Washington D. C. has also been exposed as a sort of ruling secret oligarchy here in America. Trump’s only presence in Washington, brought this all up to the surface. Knowledgeable Americans are now awakened to it. (4) The Mainstream Media has finally and conclusively been exposed as only a shrill for the Democratic Party; any semblance of balance, of ethics has been exposed as a lie. That the MSM is part of the Deep State. These, #3 and 4 is the biggest achievements of President Trump. They are truly a gift to America. (5) Deregulation. That is big. (6) ending the Paris Climate Change agreement. (7) The continuing immigration scandal. Pres. Trump has brought up the scandalous forms of immigration ruining America; genocide by ethnic dilution. NO OTHER Republican presidential candidate would have done that. NOT a Single one! And this is ANOTHER great accomplishment of President Trump. Win or lose—He brought them up. Even to talk on them–is great for this country. Pres. Trump brought up these as goals to achieve! (8) Exposing the Republican Party as cowards, Pee-Cee idiots, as co-conspirators in the Deep State. (9) Tax Reform. Ending estate taxes. (10) ISIS crushed! Trump is winning. He is crass. He is a New Yorker—and New Yorkers are this way. This is a typical New Yorker. He is authentic. Far from being stupid. The man is brilliant in in own way. He beat 16 Repuke candidates. He beat the Hillary Marxist machine. He is taking on the dragon of the Deep State. He wins a medal for just bringing into light—what was in the Dark. For that alone—He is a winner. Look at all that winning! He has done much. ReplyAgree/Disagree/Etc.

Shithole country. No DACA deal. And the rest. It's all worth it to see the Democrats and most of the Republicans scream in agony when he gores their sacred cows. MAGA “With the exception of Whites, the rule among the peoples of the world, whether residing in their homelands or settled in Western democracies, is ethnocentrism and moral particularism: they stick together and good means what is good for their ethnic group." From this remark alone I can say the author is an Israelophile. The Joo squatters on Palestinian lands are an abomination. ;) "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke

I love stupid [Editor’s note: The following comprehensive list of Trump accomplishments has been compiled for WND’s Thank Trump Campaign, which provides a free way to send personalized messages of thanks directly to the White House at ThankTrump.us] With mainstream media and establishment politicians stacked against him from the moment he announced his run for the presidency, Donald J. Trump has been in an ongoing pitched battle to communicate his plans – and his eventual successes – to Americans. Through public rallies and social media, he has managed to bypass the traditional information gatekeepers and has spoken directly to the people. Yet, Americans are subjected to a relentless drumbeat from the Democratic Party, amplified by virtually the entire establishment press, that Trump is not only undisciplined, unfit for office and possibly racist, but that embarrassingly little has been accomplished by the Trump administration. And while he has befuddled and disappointed some – with major promises such as Obamacare repeal and a border wall unfulfilled or put on the backburner – the stunning reality is this: Donald Trump has amassed a long and remarkable list of actions and accomplishments that will surprise average Americans, even those who support the president and consider themselves well-informed politically. Here, then, is an accounting of the truly significant achievements of the first eight months of the Trump presidency, compiled in conjunction with the Thank Trump Card Campaign, which has a dedicated website, ThankTrump.us. The accomplishments are all the more noteworthy as they have been carried out in an environment of unrelenting negativity on the part of not only the Democrats and almost the entire news media, but the Beltway establishment itself, the entire donor class, the “Deep State,” and even many Republicans wedded to the D.C. “swamp.” President Trump signs the National Defense Authorization Act Dec. 12, 2017 (Official White House photo by Stephanie Chasez) Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, President Donald Trump and House Speaker Paul Ryan (Photo: Twitter) Donald Trump and his wife, Melania, arrived in Washington, D.C., on the eve of the inauguration Jan. 19 Global Derivatives: $1.5 Quadrillion Time Bomb The Missing Money – $21 Trillion in Undocumentable Adjustments and Counting with Dr. Mark Skidmore Press 1 for English, Press 2 for English, Press 3 for deportation
