Why the Status Quo Wants Trump Out
2020-11-21
[The American Thinker] I confess to having been utterly naïve. I had wondered why on Earth the business community would prefer a frail and corrupt president Biden over a pro-business president Trump. Trump has a track record of economic growth and stands for lower regulations and taxes, fairer international trade, and a stronger military. Biden wants to increase taxes and regs and put in place a number of new initiatives like the Green New Deal that might bankrupt the economy. But Wall Street, the tech industry, and many more backed Biden, while even many GOP congressmen seemed lukewarm to Trump.

The choice for Trump seemed so obvious, what was I missing?

The difference is the status quo. A lot of people make lots of money the way things are now. They constitute a powerful force that seeks to get rid of inconvenient obstacles — especially a serial disruptor like President Trump.

#5  #1 They are afraid, he will shut off the gravy train and never-ending for life-government positions. He wants to limit the strangle-hold the bureaucracy has on the American people.

He also wants the American people to have a say-so in the governing of their country. Trump is the only guy who really gives a damn about the rest of us.

#4  Trump threatened the Uniparty's grifts and scams. Count 'em:
..Clinton Global grift
..Biden Crime Syndicate's grift
.. the Democrat and Koch Bros/Chamber of Commerce illegal alien scam
.. the Big Tech monopoly grift
.. BLM and the other race-hustlers' emotional blackmail and corporate shakedowns
.. endless wars and interventions all over the world
..the Deep State clownshow that's given the D.C. Beltway the two wealthiest counties in the nation

Of course Trump had to be purged, by any means necessary. Fabrications, peach mints, and a Soviet-style fake election.

OF COURSE Trump had to be taken down -- for the good of the grift

#3  Trump made a tactical mistake 4 years ago. He trusted the RINOs and failed to fire every US GIVERnment Swamp employee he was legally allowed to fire.

#1  He conducts huge rallies in fly-over country where tens of thousands wait in lines for hours, wave American flags, and cheer wildly. He won't take a gov't salary or any of our K-Street phony money. He wants to end phony, overseas wars and adventurism. He's got his thumb on our cheap labor pals in China. He's told the EU and our Globalist friends to fok off. He continues to denounce our media disinformation apparatus. He believes in 'American First' and that life begins at conception.

What good is he ?
