Trump, Plus and Minus

I am concerned about your support of Donald Trump. I will not take the time to list all of his moral depravities, nor his lies and corrupt behavior. Except one, he is not prolife and will continue to support Planned Parenthood. He is truly a pro-abort candidate. Can you please explain to me how you reconcile that with your support for him? No, I have never seen you outright say, ‘Vote for Trump!’ but I have never seen any negative posts about him on your site, only positive ones. Several positive ones. I am confused, and I am just curious as to your “thinking” on this, no pun intended.

        Thank you.

Thanks for your concern. I appreciate it.

I have not personally endorsed Trump, and have actually been quite negative about him. Perhaps you have missed some of my past entries about him. However, I sympathize with the argument that a vote for him is ethical because he is the lesser of two evils (Hillary and Trump). I recognize that he has said very good things in defense of American interests and against ‘political correctness;’ and view the extent to which he is demonized by the likes of George Will, “Pope” Francis and The New York Slimes as a strong point in his favor. Trump’s enemies are reason alone to consider him in a favorable light. “Pope” Francis calling him non-Christian really takes the cake. It takes one to know one, I guess. Yes, his enemies do make him look good.

That said, I cannot vote for Trump (Cruz is out too) and did not vote in the Pennsylvania primary. His adultery, his gambling fortune, his record on various issues such as abortion and “gay rights,” his hawkish support for Israel, all disqualify him for me. Hillary is worse, the other Republicans are worthless, I understand that politics is the art of the possible, I do not have animosity toward those who think otherwise, but I just can’t push the button for Trump. In addition to the things I mentioned, I have a strong visceral distrust of the man. That distrust has existed since the day in the 1980s when I saw him on the beach in Atlantic City surrounded by a throng of admirers. There was a negative force field around him; at least there was for me. I’ll never forget it. But then gambling ruined Atlantic City, and it is ruining other cities and towns too. It is a scourge.

I also believe Trump is misleading Americans. A good example is his recent comment that China is “raping” America.

“We can’t continue to allow China to rape our country,” he told a crowd in Fort Wayne. “That’s what they’re doing. It’s the greatest theft in the history of the world.”

Excuse my language, but this is crap.

In light of the extent to which our own Federal Reserve and the blood-sucking usurers who control our economy are raping America, this is a not only dangerously undiplomatic, but just plain deceptive. The greatest theft in the history of the world has occurred right within our borders.

My entries on Trump can be found on these five pages here. I wrote in September:

I assure you, the media would not love The Donald and give him any air-time at all if he were really an anti-establishment figure, if he was someone who was, say, calling for an end to the Federal Reserve Bank, a private institution that controls the American economy, or demanding the impeachment of Supreme Court judges for exceeding their authority or asking who blew up the World Trade Center buildings.

Open borders is a symptom, not a cause, of the problem.

I probably can’t persuade you that Trump’s nationalist rhetoric, some of which constitutes promises (such as heavy tariffs on foreign-made cars) that would be highly difficult for him to fulfill given the need for Congressional support, and some of which is truly rude, insulting and unbecoming of a potential President, is really just a way to make Americans think that they still play a part in their government and that we still have a two-party system. But I hope even so you will not become emotionally wrapped up in the issue because it’s a waste of your energy. Watch the Trump Show, if you like. Consider it entertainment. In my opinion, that’s what it is. A show. It’s not as if the media is going to lose its immense power and start suddenly reporting on the refugee racket once The Donald is elected. It’s not as if he is going to end the alarming consolidation of power in the hands of the money lenders. A gambling tycoon and unrepentant adulterer who doesn’t have the guts to ask why World Trade Center 7 collapsed to the ground in six seconds and who blames mass immigration on Mexicans and Chinese rather than on the powerful forces that have financially benefited from open borders and who says he is “1,000 percent” for Israel, as if the goyim have the perpetual obligation to send their sons to die for a foreign, Talmudic state, is not going to do great things for America. Even if he builds a wall on the border.

I was so glad to see you are sedevacanist and all, but I just read (briefly, will read more carefully later, I just got up) but was so sorry to see all the negativity and judgments on Donald Trump’s very soul comments by you.  Donald Trump is all that stands between us and the New World Order.  There is no other choice.  To say the media is pushing him is beyond absurd.  The powers that be hate him and have done everything to stop him from day one.  If he only builds that wall and nothing else, like bringing back our jobs (which he will do) we will be better off.  I do not know where you live or your financial position, but for everyday Americans (and the world) he is a God send.  Very disappointed in your elitist outlook. You could choose your language better too, being so holy and all.

Laura writes:

I’m not sure what you mean by comments on his very soul. You mean that I felt that his charisma had this “negative force field?”  That was a personal observation, a gut feeling, but I should clarify and say I don’t base my overall political view of him on that. I’ve tried to put that aside, as well as what I know about his serious bullying of journalists who criticize his business practices, in assessing his candidacy.

As far as media coverage, Trump has received far more air time than any other Republican, and perhaps more than the Democrats. Let me remind you of what happens to candidates the media really hates, people such as Pat Buchanan and Ron Paul, who were outsiders with great ideas for reforming America financially and ending disastrous free trade. They don’t get air time. Do you understand that? The way the media “kills” someone politically is to ignore him. Publicity is often good even when it’s negative, especially when voters have major grievances.

I don’t understand why you see it as “elitist” to view America as more than just a large corporation and to believe that it has a soul (or at least its citizens have souls) too. It seems to me that it is the other way around. It is “elitist,” in this day and age, to care nothing about the fact that someone has been “married” three times and has publicly cheated on his wives with married women. If that’s being “holy and all,” I stand in good company because many Americas in the past were offended by such behavior and by the destructiveness of gambling.

As far as the financial future of America, we are doomed until we end the chokehold the Federal Reserve and the internationalist financial world has over us while Trump contends that Mexico and China are raping us. I guess the bright side with Trump is that he is somewhat of an unknown and he possibly could get to the Fed someday too.

As I said, I don’t look down on anyone who supports Trump. (You, on the other hand, apparently look down on someone who does not support him and view it as a form of treason.) I understand your pain. I understand it very well otherwise I wouldn’t have spent a lot of my life in recent years writing (for very little remuneration) about the transformation of the country through multiculturalism, risking my own personal welfare and reputation to discuss under my own name a topic that can lead to permanent banishment from many quarters. If that’s “holy and all,” then I stand guilty. But I seriously caution you to refrain from high hopes. The man has been a political liberal for most of his life. I hope he does bring about change. I really do, but I don’t trust him.

Mark Jaws writes:

I am enjoying this debate on Trump. I will be uncharacteristically succinct. You hit the hammer on the nail. Nonetheless, unlike you I am voting for Trump for two reasons. First, of all the candidates he is LEAST DEPENDENT on the donor class. And that means, second, that he is MORE LIKELY than Hillary to do the things you and I want done. Simply stated, Hillary is certain doom. Trump is not so certain doom.

Laura writes:

{I expanded this answer from its original.}

I agree with your assessment in that he is possibly better than Hillary. He is an unknown in some senses. Nevertheless, he is a man who has shaken down the American public through gambling for much of his life, supported abortion and “gay rights,” cheated on his wives and upholds Israel and its mass murderers “1,000 percent.” I will not vote for him.

Joe A. writes:

Many hold to the idea a president is a role model, the living expression of the national spirit, the embodiment of their collective aspiration – a pharaoh or sun god for the ages.

Yet the president is nothing more than a hired hand, whose job is to oversee and direct the functions of the American federation.

For a long time, the job description and constituent requirements for employment have been out of whack.  This is especially true in 2016 as the need for a new federal structure is widely acknowledged.  We don’t need a university-professor-in-chief.  We don’t need a debate-team-captain-in-chief.  We don’t need a crooked-long-con-artist-in-chief.  We need to hire someone who’s expert in urban redevelopment.  We need a demolition contractor and Trump is the best in the business.

Do you really care what your demolition man does in his spare time or how he gets along with his women?  Or do you care that he knows how to place demolition charges and operate a wrecking ball before bulldozing the rubble into the Potomac River?

Neither do I.  I care that he’ll implode the whole rotten complex as quickly and completely as possible!

Paul C. writes:

It is time to put on our big boy pants and support Trump. I disliked the idea of a Cruz presidency, and had he won the nomination, it would have taken me time, after listening to him, to convince me to turn out for him. But I would have because our country cannot endure another liberal Supreme Court Justice. And now we also must focus on the Senate. We must ensure the GOP retains the Senate majority.

Make no mistake, we are living in an oligarchy controlled by the Supreme Court not the banks or the other branches. Indeed, I hope Trump defies horrible Court decisions on the basis that the branches are coequal and the President also has the right to interpret the Constitution when the Court issues extreme opinions such as Roe v. Wade.

The Court has no means of enforcing its opinions. The President controls the U.S. Marshalls. Traditional establishment thinking is no longer viable today. It is a new day. Dire times. Our dear country hangs by a thread.

We live in a country of many anti-Christians and helped by invading anti-Christians, foreign national patriots (not American patriots), and special interest minorities such as Asians, who apparently don’t like us according to people with unique knowledge such as the attractive Ms. Asrat. She is a true female hero considering what she has been through.

Lydia Sherman writes:

I have been listening to Trump’s Indiana speech and picking up clues that he may be aware of the phony money system. He mentioned it a couple of times.

I read in one of his books that in business he does not always reveal what he knows, so that he can get closer to a deal. Kennedy also was known to keep real close to the insiders and the secret society people, not letting on that he knew as much as he did.

I agree with what you said about Trump blaming other countries erstwhile our own is being destroyed from within by the bankers. But, I sure hope Trump is not letting on what he knows.

Just a fantasy of mine.
