Trump's enemies make him stronger
|
[THEASPENBEAT]
What doesn’t kill me makes me stronger
— Friedrich Nietzsche
Nietzsche was full of shit. What doesn’t kill me could also cripple me. Ptui.
Back in the 2016 election, Donald Trump was a bit of a joke. He was a flamboyant, pussy-grabbing, orange-haired, reality show-hosting, real estate tycoon with improbable aspirations to be President of the United States. Just before the election, the New York Times gave him about a 4% chance of winning.
To get the nomination, he outmaneuvered a dozen professional politicians, some of them well-regarded, a former tech CEO, and a brain surgeon.
Assigning those odds was not just the Times’ effort to inform their readers. It was also an effort to crush him. They came not just to condemn Trump, but to bury him.
I recall that when Trump won, the Times penitently admitted to being easy on the B.O. administration, but promised to be ever so much more diligent in the future.
Imagine their chagrin when Trump proved them wrong. Imagine, too, the chagrin of Hillary Clinton and the rest of the establishment.
The former "smartest woman in the world?" aka "The Thing That Wouldn't Go Away?"
In discerning their chagrin, you don’t actually need to use your imagination at all. We saw it. They blocked Trump’s every effort at governance with dishonest smears like the Russian collusion hoax, two impeachments, and the pee-pee dossier. In their effort to prevent Trump from governing the country effectively, they were willing to prevent him from governing the country at all – the country be damned.
The Dems promptly formed The Resistance®, named after Hezbollah and its allies. Maxine Waters actually called for his impeachment before he was inaugurated.
But the attacks on Trump in his first term didn’t kill him; they only made his stronger.
They did keep him from doing some things he wanted to do, like finishing the wall and making Mexico pay for it.
He found a way to govern the country, and he did it effectively. A good example is his nomination of three conservative Supreme Court Justices, every one of which he successfully got confirmed by the insiders of the world’s most exclusive club – the United States Senate.
That Trump did so well is a tribute to him personally. That Biden has been so consistently incompetent is an indictment of the Democrat Party.
Americans today give Trump’s presidency higher marks than they give Joe The Big Guy Biden
 ...46th president of the U.S. Former Senator-for-Life from Delaware, an example of the kind of top-notch Washington intellect to be found in the World's Greatest Deliberative Body....
’s, and in the most important issues like the economy, immigration and foreign affairs, they prefer Trump. That’s why he’s leading in the polls (that, and the fact that his opponent is a senile dolt).
Which is why they tried to murder him.
In the 2020 election, the establishment pulled out the stops to prevent Trump’s reelection. With a combination of a little election fraud, a lot of election shortcutting in the form of relaxed vote-by-mail rules enacted under the cover of COVID, the Democrats’ undemocratic kneecapping of Bernie Sanders, and a ton of media bias, they narrowly defeated Trump.
That's a paper defeat.
His 2020 loss didn’t kill Trump; it only made him stronger. He didn’t get the memo that he was supposed to retire to Mar-a-Lago and play golf. He instead started campaigning for the 2024 election.
On the other hand, the debate (snicker!) followed by the botched Trump assassination that'll never be traced back to Rehoboth Beach should kill the Dems for at least this election cycle.
Again chagrined, the Democrats decided to declare “lawfare” against Trump. They filed a series of bogus criminal and civil cases against him. They aimed to discredit him by labeling him a “convicted felon.”
The unabashed corruption of the tactic really has made Trump stronger.
The lawfare didn’t kill Trump; it only made him stronger. He fought and largely won. The Supreme Court has thrown out most of the charges against him. Democrat incompetence has undermined most of the rest. The American people see the lawfare for the corrupt scheme that it is, and Trump’s fight as the righteous one that it is. He’s gone up in the polls.
The ghost of Boss Tweed is trying to figure what went wrong.
And this time, he shows a discipline that he’d never shown in 2016. He more often thinks and takes advice before he opens his mouth. He’s stronger.
He also lets the Dems do a frabjous job of hanging themselves.
A good example is his handling of the Democrat civil war over Biden’s candidacy. It must be tempting for Trump to pour gasoline on the self-immolating Democrats, but he’s mostly smart enough to let them do it themselves.
To fling any 100 octane risks raising sympathy for the bastards.
Leftists are by nature authoritarians. See, e.g., Stalin, Joseph; Zedong, Mao; Pot, Pol. That is why they’re so quick to label anyone who disagrees with them a “fascist.” It’s projection in combination with authoritarian shout-down.
I'd call them totalitarian, rather than just authoritarian. The Catholic Church is authoritarian.
And so, the leftists – all of whom are Democrats (though not all Democrats are leftists) –
They're not? So why do they vote in a monolithic leftist bloc?
have always alluded to violence against Trump. A two-bit comedienne depicted herself with Trump’s severed head. A theater depicted Trump in the role of assassinated Caesar. Just last week, Joe Biden told donors in a conference call that it was time to “put Trump in the bullseye.”
And there he went. Good thing he turned his head when he did.
Yesterday, someone did exactly that.
But, really, it won't be traced back to Rehoboth Beach, or to B.O.
Fortunately for Trump, his supporters, the country and the world, and unfortunately for Democrats, the someone missed Trump’s head by a half-inch. The high-powered hollow point bullet merely took off the top of Trump’s ear (though sadly it instantly killed the man behind him).
Absolutely beneath consideration to the intended killer and his handler.
As always, this assassination attempt didn’t kill Trump; it only made him stronger. He fell, but with Secret Service assistance quickly stood back up, blood streaming down his face, fists pumping the air defiantly.
Imagine Biden's reaction in a similar situation. Imagine B.O.'s. But as I think of it, which recent Republican wouldn't have reacted almost as bravely? Either of the Bushes? Ronald "I hope you're all Republicans" Reagan? Richard Nixon? (Recall the picture, denigrated by Dems, of him fighting the fire at his house with his garden hose.) Eisenhower? (Don't make me laugh any harder!) Hoover? Coolidge? T.R?
Somewhere in hell, Nietzsche must be smiling.
Unless Hell's crippled him.
