It is easy for the Trump-haters to waffle on about how evil
the man is, and to make dark insinuations about his having stolen the
election. The Trump-haters never seem to confront the fact that their
alternative was Hillary Clinton.
At the moment, the Trump-haters’ candidate is embroiled in
three controversies equal in scale to Watergate. After a year of lying about it, it turns out that
Hillary’s campaign bought and paid for the so-called Steele Dossier, the
salacious and unproven allegations which formed the justification for the
Mueller Inquiry. The Steele dossier was Hillary’s campaign ruse and was
intended to destroy Trump’s candidacy. It got out of control, and America’s
intelligence services took it for real. And it was all fake Russian
disinformation with dashes possibly of disinformation from rogue spooks in MI6
and the FBI! For a year, all those associated with the creation of the dossier lied about their their not being involved. Even now, those who ought to have known deny knowing anything about it.
On Thursday it was revealed that Hillary bought the bankrupt Democratic National Committee in August, 2015, and, through that, the control which guaranteed she
got the party’s nomination. Through willing accomplices, the DNC was made to look like an independent operation, when in fact it was a wholly owned subsidiary of the Clinton Campaign. Bernie Sanders' loss was, at least in part, a result of rigging. And when it is said that the Steele dossier was paid for by both the DNC and Hillary's campaign, it was all Hillary's money.
Now the Uranium One deal, documented in the book Clinton
Cash, which saw the Clinton Foundation pocket $140 million off the books
while Bill was personally tipped to the tune of half a million, is reaching the
public consciousness.
What is also gradually coming to light is what a fetid,
dirty, lying administration Barack Obama ran - one worthy of a third-world,
tin-pot, sanctimonious tyrant, with all of its lying courtiers – many of whom
were employed in the press. If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor; Benghazi, the Iran deal, selectively releasing the bin Laden document trove and hiding the rest, the unmasking of Trump associates and other political enemies, the creation of echo chambers for know-nothing reporters, ISIL, treating Beau Bergdahl as a returning hero who served "with honor and distinction" Nothing but sanctimonious lying and deception.
The choice of the Trump-haters would have continued the
oppressive lies of her erstwhile predecessor, with the added insult of Hillary treating
the presidency as Eldorado – an office for sale, just as she treated her
Secretaryship of State.
Hillary Clinton would have been the Harvey Weinstein of
Washington – someone known by insiders as being deeply personally corrupt but
whose corruption was tolerated and kept secret because she validated the right
political opinions, and because none of the insiders were personally affected
by her corrupt ways.
The American public understood the stakes and elected Donald
Trump – warts and all. He had all the right enemies, and his perceived
uncouthness simply added relish to the offence he would cause among all the
right people. Perhaps there can be cosmic justice here on earth.
Despite everything, Donald Trump is doing well as
president. His handling of foreign policy has been superb, shining far
greater in comparison to the Obama disaster. The stock markets have
boomed since his election, and the America economy is fast reviving. In the teeth of opposition, progress is being made on Obamacare, tax reform, immigration reform,
regulation abatement, and the Wall.
Far more annoying to the Trump-haters is that Trump is actually fulfilling the
election promises he made – because the people who elected him expected him to
and want him to. Trump is their vessel, and he knows it. When Trump is seen proudly saluting the Arizona Memorial in Pearl Harbor, his supporters are reminded of the undisguised contempt in which Barack Obama held their part of America.
Trump may
not be loved, but he is doing what he said he would, and that in itself is appreciated as a
refreshing change in American politics, and that is why he will be re-elected.
So the Trump-haters can prattle on all they want. But
they all lack the courage to examine the consequences that their choice would
have brought.
