Reality Show


What is real? The dichotomy between world views has never been greater in my estimation. President Donald Trump has pulled the pin on this media grenade and the explosion is rocking vast swathes of peoples’ perception of reality. It seems clear to this observer that our natural national unity is being torn apart by current events. Is Adam Schiff lying? And, if so, does he know he is lying? What about President Trump?

Is it possible to have two diametrically different views of the world that are both true? Or both false?

This is a battle of the Titans. On one side we have the Deep State once led by Obama's intelligence agencies ... and backed by much of the media ... including even pieces of FoxNews and theDrudge Report. And on the other side is Donald Trump with his meager band of Republican supporters. Kind of a gigantic mismatch ... yet he is holding his ground by not playing the game the way he is supposed to play it. He punches back. Unfair!

The media and those who want the media’s blessing are supreme. And crossing the intelligence agencies is sure suicide. Didn’t Chuck Schumer say that the spooks have a hundred ways from Sunday to get back at you? And the Orange Man is learning this lesson.

I often used the term “spittle flecked” to describe Trump’s rabid opposition ... and I can’t help to wonder if their opposition to Trump derives from noble or ignoble motivations. Obviously, I think the latter ... but what do these opponents think? Can they be so evil that they would try to destroy someone who seems to be trying to restore America to it’s previous glory? Or are Trump’s motivations also sinister? Are these motivations as self-serving as his enemies?

Tune in next week, same time, same station to find out ...

As much as DJT decries Hollywood, he is the king of reality TV. He knows very well that America has accepted that any show dubbed "Real" while they are in fact scripted and rehearsed. He has laudable achievements but makes so many shoot-from-the-hip uninformed decisions that his "team" members keep falling off his wildly gyrating ship. Even Fox is losing his love.
