It is quite understandable why so many people are so fired up over
Trump's claims he will do the things that Obama promised and lied
about. It is much like the anti-Bush sickness that gripped the country
in 2008 and ushered in the Age of Obama.
But before we get swept
up in this latest wave of populism, remember that a "President Trump"
would have to go through Congress in order to do anything he promises.
Obama was successful in manipulating the legislative branch because of
the unwavering aid of his toadies Reid and Pelosi, along with a media
that is incredibly slanted to the left.
Were Trump to be elected,
who do we have on the side of the GOP? Mitch McConnell and Paul
"Boehner" Ryan. These two RINO fucks will continue to do exactly what
they have been doing, which is exactly what has brought the GOP to shame
and disgrace - favor Corporatism over conservatism at every
opportunity.
Trump will side with corporate billionaire ass-hats
like Bill Gates and Warren Buffet, exactly like Barry O'Bama has. His
economic policies will basically be turning the entire country into a
casino complex or a high-rise condo - which is the only thing he know
how to do.
People need to read up on Trump's actual business
record. He is not the "world's greatest businessman" as his press would
have us believe, any more than Obama is the "world's greatest orator."
Don't
misunderstand - Trump is a wealthy man and has overseen many successful
real estate developments, which account for his vast fortune. His
personal wealth is estimated at $3.7 billion, not the $10 billion he
claims. On the bright side, perhaps this "discrepancy" shows how
ready Trump is to assume a lead position in our government.
But
Trump also has a laundry list of failures in his business endeavors.
Trump casinos continue to lose money, and Trump casinos and properties
have filed for bankruptcy protection on five separate occasions. Again,
perhaps this shows his ability to accrue more debt than he can service,
which makes him eminently qualified as our new Checkwriter-in-Chief.
While
the list is long, here are just a few reminders that not all of Trump's
ideas are "the greatest". When was the last time you had a Trump steak, washing it down with Trump vodka, or reading a copy of Trump Magazine while flying on Trump airlines? Do you know anyone who ever shared in the American dream and bought a house with a Trump mortgage, after graduating with a degree from Trump University?
A
lot of people have real, solid, reasonable ideas about how to address
the important problems we face, such as how to seal our borders and deal
with the millions of illegals who drain our economy of $350 billion
each year, or reduce the size of government - which is the only true way
to grow our economy.
Trump is not one of them.
That being
said, should my choice boil down to Trump vs. Hillary, I will do
exactly as I have done since 2008 - hold my nose and pull the lever for
whichever moron the GOP puts up against the perpetual progressive
assault from the left.
But it won't be pretty, and I won't enjoy
it, and I can practically guarantee a loss. If Trump becomes the GOP's
choice, I think we had better get used to the phrase, "Madame
President".
Actually,
because of the horrible bias in the electoral college system, I don't
really think any GOP candidate will ever win again.
And, once the
next census has been taken, the illegal population counted, and blue
representation in government has been increased as a result, elections
in America will be more like those in North Korea - a mere formality.
But that is a story for another day.
