STAND UP FOR AMERICA!

Road to Riches

How does someone get rich quickly? Very simply ... write a tell-more-than-all book bashing President Trump ... joining the ranks of Bob Woodward (Fear), Michael Wolfe (Fire and Fury), James Comey (A Higher Loyalty), Stormy Daniels (Full Disclosure), Omarosa (Unhinged), Andrew McCabe (The Threat), Matt Taibbi (Insane Clown President), John Bolton (The Room Where It Happened), Mary Trump (Too Much and Never Enough) ... and now Trump’s former personal lawyer Michael Cohen (??).

And there are actually many, many more of such junkers by lesser-known authors.

STAND UP FOR AMERICA!

Untaveling

Clearly the fabric of our society is unraveling. Is this the fault of Trump or of the never-Trampers? To answer this, we should look at motivations. Trump is obviously driven by patriotism ... saving America from the Davos-driven self interests. 

Trump's enemies, at least the more spittle-flecked vocal ones ... Comey, Wolfe, Stormy Daniels, Morning Joe, Avenatti, Omarosa, Michael Moore, Bob Woodward, Anonymous, etc., etc. ... seem driven by notoriety  ... and from notoriety comes pelf ... as demonstrated over and over again.

Trump's motivations seem more noble than his legions of opponents. So, by this measure, I think I'll stand with him.

Battle of the Titans

It has nothing to do with Russian collusion ... or obstruction of justice. Nor Stormy Daniels nor Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen. Nor the separation of illegal immigrant families. It has nothing to do with Manafort's tax evasion trial nor Jim Acosta's  harassment.  Nor AR-15s. It has nothing to do with Michael Wolfe's or James Comey's best-seller books. These Trump scandals du jour  are merely  tactics in a much larger war ... a battle of the Titans ... much of the old-line TV and print media versus Trump and his followers. I have previously discussed the reason for these hostilities -- the contested supremacy of the media ... see: Uber Alles.

Who will win? Let's see ... it's most of the TV and print media, academia, Mueller, social media, Hollywood, the Chamber of Commerce,  many foreign leaders (particularly those with Herr starting their names), the deep state,  much of the tech industry, George Soros (and the Koch brothers ... talk about strange bedfellows), RINOs, the left coasts, Ivanka Trump, the Clinton posse, suburban women who want free abortions and birth control, (need I go on?) ... all these millions pitted against Trump, his Twitter feed, Sarah Sanders, some of Fox News, most of talk radio, middle America and a few Inherent news sites.

Any sane betting person would wager against Trump. But somehow he is still standing ... in fact he seems to relish the fight. If he prevails, it will be a much bigger upset than he pulled off against Hillary. But then things might get real interesting ...
