On 11/16/2016 I posted a Ricochet piece on how Trump might run his Administration. I watched the press conference and today I saw the Florida rally. It looks like I might have stumbled into something. Let me know if this resonates:

Writing about the War on Trump- Post Election, Pre Inaugural Phase has made my mind spin a few ways to put this into a mental model.

The attacks, like they were on Reagan and Bush, will be relentless and pretty much from at least three sides. The Media, The DNC and allies, and the #ProNevers, with funding from the usual globalist donors.

So the new president has been in there for a month and the media opposition front, having already used sexual predator, liar, fool, know nothing and crazy at him before the election, has   turned their amps up past 11 since inauguration.

We have been treated to Trump is mentally unstable , his people are Nazi’s and Commies and Anti Semites, especially the Jews, and now the latest accusation, that he is a traitor and working for Putin.

Four weeks and they have  escalated to treason.

What is left in their quiver?

Today , they found out he is not reeling from their onslaught, but smiling and has no compunction about treating them as the enemies of the American people.

This is not your standard Republican. As Rush said … Continue reading →
