Excuse me for a week, but I am not going to write about economics, gold or silver, but as the title says, a nation divided. Never in my many decades of existence, have I ever witnessed such a divided nation, and as I strive to find a reason, I always come up with the simple fact that Donald Trump won, and Hillary Clinton lost. She not only lost, but she was supposed to win. Everyone thought she would win. When she didn’t, the Democrats and 95% of the major media were outraged, and have yet to get over it. The Democrats and major media, which includes TV, newspapers, and all such news outlets, have gone berserk trying to get Trump removed, and without success. Their efforts have included total lies, exaggerations, name calling, and total avoidance of the success of his administration.
Why did he win, and Hillary lose? First of all, Hillary was so absolutely corrupt with her Clinton Foundation, which crookedly obtained billions of bucks from all sorts of foreign and domestic sources, with the promise of handouts when she won, that normal Americans simply couldn’t abide by it, and especially when she called them names such as ‘deplorables.’ I remember tee shirts saying “I am proud to be a Deplorable.” She ran a hideous campaign, even though she outspent Republicans three to one or more, it is estimated. I doubt that Trump won even one big city, but won the rest of America, which gave him the needed electoral votes, and now of course, Democratic candidates are calling for the elimination of the Electoral College, and pooh-poohing the Constitution also. The hatred began the moment Trump won, not even knowing what he would do in his Presidency.
It turns out that Trump, unlike other Presidents, did what he promised. He has made the economy blossom, the unemployment rate plummet, stock market zoom to the heavens, and with that, hundreds of millions of retirement accounts do the same. He has rebuilt the military, and is trying to make sense of our foreign trade, giving China what it has deserved for decades. Trump has spent the same as Obama, increasing the national debt, but the excess has been for the military restoration, which Obama decimated. Trump has cut bureaucracy, gotten millions off of food stamps, and literally made America great again, much to the dismay of the Democrats. So, why is America so divided? I am certain that 99% of the readers of my columns are in agreement with me about the great work Trump has done, and are equally distressed about what his efforts and successes has done to divide America. Power, and political power, regardless of how it is obtained, seems to be the Democrat’s main theme as the debates unravel. As Karl Marx once said, “Political power is merely the organized power of one class to oppress the other.” How interesting that several of the Democrat candidates have a marvelous affinity for Marx and far left promises to obtain power through outright lies and ‘pie in the sky’ promises of the wonderful results of socialism. I am certain they must cringe when Trump says, “America will never be a socialistic nation.” Why are we divided? Jealousy. Unmitigated, outraged, foaming at the mouth, stop at nothing, jealousy by Democrats and their huddled together media, is a lot of what has divided America, nothing that Trump has done. It’s the very fact that me made it is so crushing to them. He’s cut into their previous, ever so profitable territory. I’m so sorry Hillary and associates. (Not).
What has Trump done to divide America? First of all, he tweets, giving his opinions about everything, which no president has ever done before. His opinions are down to earth, occasionally in error, but no one ever doubts his feelings, which are basically about making America great, and getting rid of bureaucrats, foolish laws, and stupid politicians…in plain English. He has been called ‘racist,’ I am certain several million times by the media and Democrats, but I have never heard him say a single deleterious word about any minority, at any time, in any speech or tweet. Never, yet he is branded as a ‘racist.’ He has done more for African Americans, Hispanics and other non-white races than any previous president in history, regardless of political affiliation. Trump has never uttered a single word, phrase, or sentence, which could possibly be regarded as ‘racist,’ yet he is branded as one, by of course the media and Democrats. “Racist” is used falsely, and as often as “Climate change,” another fraud and lie, unless you believe a 1.8 degree raise in temperature over the last 150 years is ‘climate change. ‘ I don’t.
Big cities have always been run and controlled by corrupt Democrats, and their leaders have become filthy rich by political power, handouts, vote buying or stealing, and corruption of all sorts. Trump is a businessman, and had become wealthy by being smart and not corrupt, which Democrats absolutely can’t stand. Power is what has always made Democrats win in big cities where most of the population seems to live, but when Trump won by winning everywhere but in big cities, Democrats felt the loss in a big way. Two years into the Trump presidency, they won control of the House, and since winning that control, have stymied all efforts of Republicans to continue with the work of trying to straighten out America. After much thinking, I really do believe that Trump is so roundly and undeservedly hated, simply because of unabated, continuous, outright lies by Democrats, the media, and press, to unseat him, although obviously the efforts will fail. Two years almost of Mueller and his hundreds of subpoenas, testifiers, grand juries, and continuous predictions by the media, have proved to be an absolute bust, but Democrats still continue. How to stop the lies and fraudulent name calling and labeling by the media and Democrats? I have no idea, but it is an absolute first in American history, which surely will go down for a hundred or more years as being the most unbelievable series of events, and media prevarications ever witnessed by America. With the shootings in Texas and Ohio, the gun grabbers are at it again, with their gun control nonsense. I will guarantee you that not one of the millions of NRA members, has ever shot anyone other than in self defense, nor committed any terrorist, robbery, rape, or criminal act. The American Revolution was won by armed men and households who were sick and tired of old King George and his huge taxes and control. The same reasons have made the UK decide to leave the European Union, and may eventually make Hungary and others do the same. All around the world, nations watch Trump’s populism, they love it, and vote to do what America did when they elected Donald Trump. What will happen in the future? No one knows, but it seems to this ancient of days, that the current lie calling and slander of Trump and his successes, will be certain to backfire in November, with Republicans re-gaining control of the House, keeping the Senate, re-electing Trump, and then look out Democrats. Can evil keep control for very long periods of time without it being overthrown by right thinking, hard working, honest people, seeing that they have been hoodwinked, and taking action to get rid of the pestilence? We all hope so.
