A POLITICAL COUP OF TRUMP WOULD END THE REPUBLIC

A POLITICAL COUP OF TRUMP WOULD END THE REPUBLIC

By Domenick J. Maglio PhD., Traditional Realist

The election result was a shock to the progressive elites and ill informed supporters. There was a similar reaction the limited government believers had with the election of Barak Obama. The major difference was after a short interval of stunned paralysis, these patriotic Americans went on with their lives accepting the sanctity of the electoral process.

After this election the progressive’s stated policy was RESIST the Trump agenda. That is a misnomer. Instead it is a repudiation of the 2016 election results and the attempt to nullify Donald Trump’s right to serve as president. In other words it is an attempted coup by the Washington establishment: Many republican and democrat politicians, deep state officials, lobbyists, media and any D.C. power brokers who have a vested interest in the status quo are doing everything in their power to ruin Trump’s appeal and remove him from office. This coup would not end with this president. Impeachment advocate, Rep. Maxine Waters (D, CA), stated that when Trump goes, concerning Vice President, Mike Pence, “ we’ll get him next.” This attempted coup is to bring the progressives back into power.

President Trump’s unexpected victory was emotionally devastating to the ruling class. They devised an elaborate system to maintain control of their power. This system includes putting in place indoctrinated progressive activists that form a formidable network to promote and protect the progressive agenda. These committed know-it-alls were groomed in universities, the media, federal positions, legal and diplomatic services where the progressives are attracted to

high guaranteed salaries and political influence.

It is a tight group of ideologues who are always in the right position to further the progressive agenda. They attack anyone who thinks differently. The average middle class individual is seen as a “deplorable” hick who is the cause of retarding the social progressive agenda. Progressives believe these people should be disenfranchised from having a voice in government then be re-educated to be more politically correct to believe like them.

President Trump with all his quirks and Tweeting has led the way for the majority of non-elite, everyday believers in America, to once again speak their minds.  This has awakened a majority of the previously politically uninvolved middle class Americans. The Tea Party started the process of organizing many Americans who were fed up with the socialism being force fed to them by the government, experts and the media. President Donald Trump has taken up the mantle of this movement rebranding it “America First.”

President Trump’s support has been greatly underestimated by the skewed propaganda polls of the establishment. The progressives were pushed toward insane thinking and behavior by the Trump election. The establishment is still unable to comprehend that the longer the “Russian collusion” and the Muller “witch hunt” go on, the more the silent middle class is witnessing the underhanded progressive abuse of power. This awareness is creating a substantial backlash of non-elites, hard working citizens who will be the downfall of the goal of progressive statism and the ludicrous one-world government fantasy.

At this moment in the USA the progressive elites have decided to put the pedal to the metal to overturn at all costs the American people’s choice of Donald Trump as our duly elected President of the United States. It started by Jill Stein raising millions of dollars to recount the votes of several states, which only confirmed his victory. When that failed they tried to intimidate Electoral College electors sworn to Trump to vote for anyone else. James Comey, head of the FBI, leaked his self-written memos to the press to force a special prosecutor, Robert Muller, who is Comey’s good friend, to look into anything and everything of Trump’s over the past 40 years. The Russian Collusion fake news saga was plastered everyday over the airways, which turned out to be a dismal failure. The Muller/establishment’s last gasp of pinning something or anything on Trump while avoiding the obvious corruptive actions of the progressive leadership has been a mind-boggling exercise of deception.

President Trump is certainly not the only president who has been harassed by the opposition party. Jefferson’s election against John Adams was a bitter pill to swallow. Andrew Jackson and Lincoln were loved or hated by different segments of society. Lincoln paid the ultimate price with his life for keeping the USA united. Truman and Reagan’s surprise victories led to much skepticism and anger. The hatred towards Reagan was so intense that after only two months in office he was shot several times by a mentally ill individual. He nearly did not survive. The attempted assassin, John Hinkley, stated his motivation for this violent act was to impress Jody Foster, a Hollywood actress known for her hatred of the president. Both of these honest men were savagely attacked but turned out to be great presidents.

In this election the citizens have spoken with their ballots. There is no rational reason to destroy the integrity of our election process. This would put a dagger in our constitutional republic and our liberty.

The only honorable thing the establishment has to do is to wait the few years and prepare for the next presidential election. The election process illustrates the brilliance of our founding fathers to avoid the lunacy we are presently enduring and the potential for another civil war.

STATE RUN MEDIA IN PANIC MODE

STATE RUN MEDIA IN PANIC MODE

By Domenick J. Maglio PhD. Traditional Realist                                         1/4/17

It is dawning on the “elite media” that they have lost the power and influence to control the future implementation of the progressive agenda.  President elect Trump bypassed them through his rallies in front of large crowds and his direct tweets. He has even gone as far as to suggest that there will be a change in the sacred White House daily briefings. Not maintaining the present seating arrangement for the elite press members seems to be an intolerable affront to their egos. This treatment of the media by Trump’s use of social media is the same as Obama’s used to get around the media but then it was not an issue. They are having a conniption in full view of the American people.

The election results were so devastating to these entitled intellectuals that they had become the latest and greatest victims of our modern age. These “smuggers” of the 4^th Estate are becoming hysterical and frightened humans. Most are scattering in every direction to attack anyone and everything that may have caused this “catastrophe.”

Most progressive pundits still cannot even accept the fact that Trump won the election. Hypothetical, nonfactual propositions that Putin, the FBI and Wikileaks were the unconvincing arguments given for Hillary’s loss.  When they realized this was not working they turned instead towards a frontal attack on the Electoral College. They were under the illusion that somehow they hoped it could flip a sufficient number of elector’s votes in order to deny Trump his victory.  This “Trumped Up” non-story was just another pipe dream to alter the people’s voice.

The next attempt to delegitimize Trump’s election was the story that Putin directed his intelligence agencies to hack into the Democrat Party and influence a Trump victory. The elite media incessantly repeated all the national intelligence agencies agreed Russia was behind the hacking. This allegation was presented as an unassailable fact, which has started to fall apart, again showing the elite media as a shill of the Democrats.

These irrational leftist pundits are the same ones who adamantly insisted that Mr. Trump had no feasible pathway to the White House. These “supposed seekers of the truth “ failed to mention that the polls were significantly and favorably skewed towards the Democrats. They failed to report the massive enthusiasm for Trump’s, “Make America Great Again” campaign, which was a factor not taken into the election equation. As advocates for the progressive movement they were shielding and singing the praises of a flawed and most pathetic Democrat presidential candidate ever. The “in-your-face” bias of the state media was front and center for all citizens to view.

The elite media’s response for being outright shills for the Democrats was their direct assault on the alternate media and anything Mr. Trump would do and propose. They even went so far as to arrogantly dictate what the President Elect should do to meet their status quo “good practices.” The demeaning, mocking and ridiculing of the Conservative opposition are the latest losing strategy to regain their power and credibility. They are dividing the country when they constantly say they want to unite it. Although they are the creators and crusaders for “fake news,” they decided to try to brand the alternative media as the culprits of made-up news.

The fake media doubling down on annihilating any alternative viewpoint is offensive and obnoxious to any thinking person. Now they have the audacity to suggest that certain progressive sites should be the arbitrators of false or true news. These “paragons of virtue” who claim they want to preserve our “Democracy” (it is a Republic) failed to mention these “fact checking” sites would merely rubber stamp everything the establishment media says is the truth and anything the opposition states as false. “Fact checks” are not about black and white issues; instead they are subjective speculations on the manner the event unfolded and its implications.

This pathetic ruse of assigning their own brethren, to be “gatekeepers of truth or falsehood” shows the disrespect they have for US citizens. They named established progressive media sites such as Politifact of the St. Pete Times, an ultra liberal newspaper, Snopes, ABC News where the head of investigative news, Brian Ross is infamously known for exposing only Republican members and giving the Democrats a pass in the DC Madame scandal. CBS News conglomerate president, David Rhodes, whose brother, Ben Rhodes is a Deputy White House National Security Advisor in the Obama administration again demonstrates the incestuous relationship between the Obama administration and the progressive media. 

The “fake news” label cannot be easily switched from the elite progressive news providers since their modus operandi for decades has been confirmed by their hysterical accusations, Wikileaks and actions after the election. The cat is out of the bag. The state media has been wrong and inaccurate in the presentation of their narrative on so many issues that many citizens can no longer be counted on as simply “sheeple.” The silent American people have shouted they want to be heard.

 The progressive elite media has many reasons to be distressed. The people voted them out after turning to the alternative media news. For the first time in decades there are multiple interpretations of events. The elites have new eyes looking over their shoulders to give another perspective and cogent point of view. The days of the state media monopoly is over. The fact-check gimmick is too late. It is not going to work. The public has seen the deception and will not easily be deceived again. The genie is out of the bottle and cannot be squeezed back in no matter what method they use.

Lying has historically gone on forever in the political arena. Fact checking should happen but not by the media elites. As President Thomas Jefferson noted in his political experience, false statements cannot be stopped by a decree limiting free speech and a free press. The ultimate fact checking is the duty of the citizenry. The truth is determined by the people’s judgment. The hardworking people of America as a large group are smarter than a small group of Washington, DC elites. The elites frantically continue to repeat their failed strategies and agenda. The state run media has every reason to be in a panic. American people have won the election. The progressive establishment lost.

TRUMP A MASTER AT BRANDING OTHERS AND HIMSELF

TRUMP A MASTER AT BRANDING OTHERS AND HIMSELF

By Domenick J. Maglio PhD. Traditional Realist

Donald Trump is a charismatic celebrity personality. He is a billionaire who knows how to wheel and deal with the big boys, which makes him a consummate big businessman in our materialistic culture. Trump does not make any excuses for playing the crony capitalistic games. Proudly he says he has given millions of dollars to politicians of every persuasion to win favors. This bypassing of regulations, which hold other businessmen back from accomplishing their projects, does not affect him. Many of his followers view this corruption as a normal part of business although they hope he will change his habits as soon as he is elected.

Trump says he is financing his own campaign and cannot be bought. He fails to say once he is in power how is he going to recover from his horse trading addiction. His modus operandi has become a life long method of accumulating power and wealth.

Trump’s impromptu speeches show a wit and fearless entertaining ability of pointing out the absurdity of politically correct speech in dealing with critical issues facing all of us. The credit for opening up discussion on previously taboo subjects belongs to Trump’s engaging style of talking directly to the people. This style can be mean spirited toward anyone who poses a threat according to him. He does not argue the merits of his ideas but goes directly for the jugular. His ability for personal destruction of his opponents is masterful. The opponent’s strength is attacked making it a weakness by repeating a narrative that is not supported by facts.

Donald Trump can take a statement and twist it into a pretzel. He can make it mean something very different. In one of the first debates Cruz criticized Trump for his “New York values”. Over the years Trump has taken many liberal stances. In 1999 he had an interview with Tim Rusert justifying his support of abortion and gays in the military stating: “I live in New York City, in Manhattan, all my life so you know my views are a little bit different then if I lived in Iowa.” Trump attacked Cruz for having no respect for New Yorkers. This blatant change of Cruz’s statement from an indictment of liberal values to Cruz belittling New Yorkers changed the news cycle against Cruz. Trump had the audacity to reinforce his position by calling Cruz” a nasty guy” for degrading New Yorkers.

This technique of labeling his rivals: “Little Marco”, “Low energy Bush” and “Lying Ted”, have stuck. Other times he uses a sleight of hand by making an offhanded rude comment like the “the face of Carly Fiorina, Megyn Kelly’s blood shooting out where ever, Ben Carson’s psychopathic profile of a child molester and Cruz’s six affairs without a shred of evidence. These innuendos plant “the seed of doubt” about these people that has a real impact on how they are viewed. The attacks disappear as soon as the person stops being a challenge but the branding sticks.

His branding and marketing skills are also used to build up his celebrity mystique. ”I am the best negotiator”, “I will make America great again”, “My business products have been top notch and successful” as he displays his Trump brand water, meat, clothing and hotels while not mentioning that many of these items have failed in the marketplace. It is all about Trump, with no credit given to the staff that actually did the work.  He is an egotist who uses the word “I” incessantly.

Trump’s complaints of rigging the Republican primary against him because the rules are different in each state is an indictment of his ignorance of our political system. Our founding fathers threw roadblocks in the way of populist candidates. They set up the Electoral College on the national level and left the nomination of candidates up to the political parties and states. They understood total democracy led to chaos. Instead they chose a representative government to nullify large swings in the direction of the country caused by a cult of personality.

Mr. Trump’s threat of running on a third party and riots at the convention should be a red flag that he does not understand that electing a president is not the same as the coronation of a king. The power of charisma was the key factor in President Obama’s victory. His bypassing of the rules of law has been devastating to our system. Trump is coming from the same perspective as Obama except he chose to run on the Republican ticket. Trump and Obama are believers in large central government, personality power and behind the scenes deals to disregard the other two branches of power. They are both proponents of crony capitalism/a fascist state.

The voters who want an America based on the restrictions of the Constitution, Bill of Rights and Judaic Christian moral values need to look elsewhere than Trump.

They should look for a candidate who adheres and follows a steady and slow course dictated by the power of the three branches of government instead of the power of a charismatic personality as the president.

Branding of self and others is a powerful skill that should not determine the selection of a presidential candidate. In America presidents have come and gone but we have had stability by following our Constitution and the rule of law. Our republic is the difference between us and all other countries throughout history.

Let us not give up on our founder’s wisdom for a quick fix. Our nation has taken a radical, progressive fix of statism that has to be corrected over time to put us back on course. We should follow the compass that our founders set down for our greatness.
