The story is impossible to believe. A football coach of a major state university, hired to rescue a desperately ineffectual program, won the NCAA national championship in his very first year as a head coach. Predictably, the stunning performance dominated all media outlets for months. Incomprehensibly, however, six months later, the University Administration and Board of Trustees fired the coach following allegations of misconduct and behavior contrary to school policy. You can only imagine the resulting outcry. Understandably, students, alumni and fans were enraged and thousands stormed the main campus to demonstrate and to demand an investigation into the University’s action. The story is simply impossible to believe. So, Matilda,  you don’t. As you might expect, this contrived piece of fiction is illustrative of the true, ongoing saga of one Donald Trump — a neophyte politician who, against all odds, took America to unprecedented domestic and international victories in just one tenure at the helm. Incomprehensibly, his performance was repudiated by an alleged majority of voters in favor of a demented basement dweller. And understandably, millions of enraged voters smelled a rat and demanded an investigation into glaring irregularities — more like evidence — of election fraud. No one, including you, is interested in hashing over election theft. Despite  media-backed denials by the federal political cartel, massive fraud did happen. It’s done. It’s history. Much like the 200,000 murders that are committed annually in America — murders that go unsolved. But even some Trump supporters think there was no election hijacking and also accuse Trump of personally coordinating a violent attack on the Capitol. These are the same people who believed and still believe in all manner of other lies. That Covid was accidental, for instance.  Just bad luck. That the Covid infection is a death sentence. That cloth masks work (after all, doctors wear them). That a vaccinated person can’t transmit the virus. That a vaccinated person would not need hospital care if infected. That the Covid vaccine is safe. That reports of sudden death caused by the vaccines are rightwing propaganda. That booster jabs are absolutely essential. That unvaccinated Americans are sub-human. These are the same people who are free to choose for themselves in a free country — who also subject innocent children to the jabs, knowing full well that youngsters have zero Covid risk — but in fact do have serious vaccine risks, including the risk of death. And looking forward to 2024, these are the same people who say that Donald Trump has outlived his usefulness. That he can’t win. That he’s a negative influence, a drag on the GOP. That he should step aside to support a shining star in Ron DeSantis who has proved his mettle in Florida — a star that has no apparent baggage. You hope, you pray, DeSantis does run. His participation gives you strong reason for optimism, having another worthy candidate with backbone. While you have no interest whatsoever in throwing DT under the bus, there are those who do. They blame him for waging a self-serving war of vengeance, for creating turmoil and making enemies of the Democrat Party. Simply hungry for peace, former Trumpers are exasperated with the constant conflict and would gladly settle for business as usual in Washington. For the jellyfish, draining the Swamp is no longer a priority. Nothing has changed since 2015, The combined forces of Washington insiders — the Democrat Party, the GOP Establishment, Legacy Media, Big Tech, Big Lobbies, Woke Corporations and the ubiquitous Deep State — all who feed at the Federal trough — are determined, at any cost, to destroy the one person they fear the most. He is the enemy. Pugnacious, combative, insulting and hugely competitive, he is American through and through, born too late, better suited for America’s swaggering infancy, when She was straining at the leash to conquer the land and build the cities. Ego driven, he is always eager to step into the ring. But the personality you see in the ring is not the personality that sits in council, that listens extensively, that yields to advisers, that speaks thoughtfully and softly, and that acts decisively. The public face of TV celebrity Donald J. Trump may delight his followers, or infuriate his critics; but his private bearing and disposition are solely performance driven. You leave the 2024 prediction to the expert predictors. The outcome has no bearing on DJT’s legacy — leading America to a brief, brilliant period of domestic and international achievement. For you, however, he authored a more decisive feat — in exposing forever the corrupt, swollen underbelly of the Washington Deep State. For that alone, he stands alone.
