About Trump


This morning Pure Intelligence responded to my post about "Our American Gladiator":
Will, I've been reading your blog for a while, and I've always respected your comments and insights on stuff. 
But on this I feel that you're *COMPLETELY* off your rocker. Donald Trump is such a thoroughly documented cesspool of moral filth that I cannot fathom why anyone with any shred of human dignity or brotherly love would ever consider voting for him.  
He sexually assaults women, rapes 6th-grade girls, refuses to honor contracts, foists his debts on others, lies whenever it is convenient, makes up facts when it suits him, calls for the military to commit war crimes, is completely racist and sexist, advocates for violating the Constitution in dozens of ways, and that's the tip of the iceberg. I was going to post a list of 230+ reasons why he is unfit to be anywhere near a public office, but I'm limited to 4096 characters.  
I get that the government is corrupt. I get that there are tons of people who are being exploited by corporate interests and greed. But electing someone as morally bankrupt as Donald Trump is like advocating throwing gasoline on a fire to put it out, because "gasoline is wet”.
My proposed response was so lengthy, it merited its own post:
I'm glad you brought all that up, Pure Intelligence. 
I GUARANTEE you that many of those you imagine to be "paragons of virtue" in Washington, D.C. (Utah, elsewhere, wherever) are, themselves "cesspools of moral filth".  (You just don't know about it.) Their crimes and shortcomings aren't as well documented as those of DJT, who has lived largely under the public microscope for decades.

If I take Hillary and Donald at their word (not necessarily believing that they are able to do ANY of the things they promise to do), Donald is saying EVERYTHING (or almost everything) I WANT a president to say (sans "grab them by the pussy") and Hillary's saying almost NOTHING I want a president to say. 
Frankly, Trump is advocating for a form of government and culture I support, while Clinton isn’t (putting their records and attributes aside, for the time being). 
Assuming that all of Trump's alleged failings are true, up to and including his alleged rape of a 13-year-old girl (which I HIGHLY doubt, given the behavior of the alleged "victim" who, even as an adult, conceals her identity), these "crimes" (even if real) CANNOT HOLD A CANDLE TO the demonstrated TREASON, graft, corruption, collusion, accessory to murder (if not murder in fact), coverups and racketeering that is the Clinton Crime Syndicate, spanning multiple government agencies and several decades.

These acts perpetrated by the Clintons are NOT "petty" crimes, but — as Wilileaks reveals — the wholesale offering of government services, secrets, sanctions and security for personal benefit, including the selling of state assets, contacts and contracts to the highest (often foreign) bidder, exposing Americans to danger and exploitation, even death, to cover for the Clintons' crimes. 
From the deliberate bombing of innocents working in an aspirin factory in Sudan (to distract from Bill's sexual exploits in the Oval Office) to the "setting up" and “withdrawal of support" from our ambassador to Libya (a la King David vs Uriah the Hittite, to quash public revelations of the Clintons' reckless arming of ISIS), the Clintons have shown that they will stop at nothing to get what they want. 
Trump, no doubt, is a less-than-honorable character and businessman who has "hustled" his way to the top of the economic ladder of success. For the most part, he has admitted his faults, failures and shortcomings. But they are MINOR compared to what Bill and Hillary have done to this country.  
Why do I support Trump? Because, at this late juncture, Jesus isn't running for executive office! No other candidate CAN win. Our choice is between the devil we barely know…and the devil we know even less about. (Hillary's deleted emails reflect her attempt to insure that we know even less about her!) 
I submit that -- since Trump hasn't been campaigning for public office and hiding his "sins" with the intent of running for president someday...because NO ONE would say or do the things Trump has said and done if he EVER wanted to be President of the United States! -- we have a more authentic and genuine, if not “fallen" leader in Donald Trump than we do in Hillary Clinton (who is a complete FRAUD in EVERY possible way: from her marriage to Bill to her "public" vs. "private" positions). 
Donald has built a billion-dollar business empire and world-renown “brand”. Because of his enormous wealth and fame, he cannot now be bought off. (The White House is almost a step down for him!) 
Meanwhile, “poor” Hillary still craves power, fame and fortune (even though she is already filthy rich, famous and powerful). She has done almost NOTHING with her life except abuse privilege, access, wealth, fame and power, producing little of value if not GREAT harm (not for everyone, but for EVERYONE ELSE).

Trump is a "salesman", a dreamer, a cheerleader, an organizer, an "executive", with a knack for sensing what is needed, what is wanted, and what is "right". He's been painfully right, politically, thus far. He has "called it" correctly, again and again, while Hillary's lies and double-dealings have been exposed. As Trump has stated, the Clintons have TERRIBLE judgment. 
I'll say even more in defense of Trump (all of which will be as "politically incorrect” as he is):

If a man walks up to a woman and kisses her -- even grabs her "by the pussy" -- AND SHE LETS HIM, THAT'S NOT SEXUAL ASSAULT! That's being "boorish", fresh", “forward”, “indecent”, “immoral”, even sexually "aggressive". But it's NOT -- I repeat NOT -- a crime. 
Unless she says it is. (And, even then, it may not be.)  
Millions of guys...even a few married ones…and a few gals, as well…grab women “by the pussy” EVERY SINGLE DAY! And NOT ONE of those acts is a crime! (Note the keywords Donald used: “AND THEY WILL LET YOU!”)  
Now, “acceptance” or “acquiescence” to indecent, immoral, even illegal behavior by no means excuses that behavior. The fact that one “lets” someone do something wrong -- such as walk out of a store unchallenged with items unpaid for -- doesn’t justify a perpetrator's misbehavior or make it any less criminal. 
But we’re not talking CRIMINAL behavior here. Trump wasn’t advocating RAPE…or even sexual assault! He was bragging about engaging in SHOCKING, even SCANDALOUS conduct with ANOTHER ADULT in a way that is NEARLY EVERY ADOLESCENT'S WET DREAM! 
(It's no large stretch to imagine that Donald J. Trump is a sexually arrested adult with an adolescent mindset. Still, even for a 59-year-old, that's NOT a crime!) 
My own grandmother was rather proud of the fact that world-famous actor CLARK GABLE (of “Gone With The Wind” fame) unexpectedly kissed her full on the mouth! (Believe me, by retelling that story, she wasn't complaining or bemoaning her "fate" as one "molested" by a much older, richer, famous and powerful man!) 
That Trump is fixated on sex, sexual appearances, the thrill of sexual “conquest”, etc., is beyond dispute. He is a PROUD man. (And his pride, no doubt, compensates for other perceived inadequacies he feels or senses. He is a "flawed" character, as are we all.)
Trump is, definitely, a “type A” personality, DRIVEN with determination and passion. (And those are GOOD qualities to have in a leader. I can see these traits, to some extent, in Bill and Hillary Clinton, as well.)

But, unlike Bill Clinton, I see NO EVIDENCE that Donald Trump is a rapist. A womanizer? MOST DEFINITELY! But Trump has also shown genuine respect for and great deference toward women. (He even marries them!) Whereas Bill is serial “user” of women...like so many cruise missiles...and cigars.

Too many "details" given by Trump's many accusers have proven to be false; too many witnesses (unassociated with Trump) have stepped forward to contradict his alleged victim’s claims; and too many of the alleged "victims" themselves have been shown to be surrogates, supporters, even EMPLOYEES of Hillary Clinton to allow me to accept their testimonies at face value. 
That being said, I’m sure Trump has groped his full share of bimbos, almost ALL of whom were no doubt GRATEFUL for the "privilege"! 
(Unfortunately, the differences between Donald Trump and Bill Clinton are not as great as I would like. But they ARE much greater between him and Hillary Clinton.)

The rape charge, I can only assume, is a COMPLETE fraud, a fabrication of political art instigated by the DNC or Clinton's campaign. I see no NO MERIT to it. The alleged "accuser" has provided NO EVIDENCE, not even revealing her own identity, for public perusal or scrutiny. Thus, the allegation (for now) is nothing more than base calumny.  
Evidence that Trump "refuses to honor contracts, foists his debts on others, lies whenever it is convenient, makes up facts when it suits him" is so prevalent as to be be almost incontestable. Guilty as charged. He has "wheeled and dealed” (and "double-dealed") again and again -- to his detriment. Trump is a "fallen" man and a "failure" on many levels. He has been, in some ways, a crook.
But sometimes it takes a thief to know one -- and to root out an even larger den of thieves! The fact that EVERYONE (in power) is VEHEMENTLY OPPOSED TO  DONALD TRUMP is almost CERTAIN PROOF that he represents a REAL THREAT to them.  
ANYONE who threatens the power structure strangling Washington, D.C., now preventing American peace and prosperity, DESERVES my support. Not only that, I PRAY for them! (This statement is not to be construed as "treason" on my part. I love my country and seek its preservation.) I believe Trump -- for all his flaws -- is a true patriot. A flawed patriot, but a patriot, nonetheless.

As for calling for war crimes, I'll stand by Trump. "If we have [nuclear weapons], why can't we use them?" he reportedly said. I WANT a president WILLING AND ABLE to use nuclear weapons, if necessary. (If not, what's the point of having them?) Our enemies should be SCARED SHITLESS that we'll use them...to the point that they'll chose NOT to be our "enemies" or do us any harm.

That being said, I don't think we deserve to be unilaterally trusted with such power. We are NO LONGER the great force for good in the world, but we have become a great force for EVIL — in no small part due to the criminals who now lead U.S. astray. 
I agree with Trump: other countries, if they choose to do so, ought to be free to join the collective of nuclear-armed nations, if only to PROTECT themselves! A LONE superpower -- or group of superpowers — possessing nuclear weapons could otherwise threaten even a peaceful country into submission. America has lately proven to be just such a tyrant! 
As for war crimes, I agree with the policy of the Israelis: when a terrorist is discovered (blowing himself/herself up), the Israelis find the terrorist's family, remove them from their home, and blow up THAT HOUSE! If a criminal knows that, by killing innocents, his/her WHOLE FAMILY will likewise be killed (or left homeless), MAYBE HE/SHE WON’T DO IT!  
Unlike his predecessors, Thomas Jefferson sent warships to the Barbary Coast to fight off, rather than to appease, Muslim kidnappers, terrorists and pirates. Predations against Americans ended. I would tell the head of Iran: “If you do (such and such) again or if you do not IMMEDIATELY release our hostages, we will KILL your second-in-command…and his family…and his friends. THEN WE'LL COME AFTER YOU!” Reagan did this, to some extent, with the Iranian Ayatolla and the Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi. Iran released its American hostages and murderous Gaddaffi "shaped up". (When she had the chance, Hillary went after Gaddafi as an "easy target", probably to burnish her "secretary of state" and "potential commander-in-chief" credentials, gleefully having him killed (even as she laughed about getting that rapist off the hook), thereby leaving a power vacuum in the region and allowing radical, armed, anti-American factions to flourish. (Again, Trump observed, Hillary has terrible judgment!) 
America’s imbecilic and feckless response to evil worldwide -- following “time-tables” for withdrawal and “rules of engagement” -- has only emboldened our enemies and telegraphed how and when we can be defeated (or outlasted). 
A predictable military response of total annihilation when attacked is actually more CONDUCIVE to peace than weak and tepid begging for mercy.  
Peace is secured through STRENGTH. (Hence our 2nd amendment!) Inasmuch as we do not inflict the first, second or even third offense against an aggressor, retaliation in kind is justified. Bullies NEVER back down…until you KICK THE LIVING SHIT out of them!  
Virtually ALL of us are "racist and sexist". (If we say we're not, we're lying, stupid, ignorant or deceived.) Men and women are NOT equal. The races are NOT equal. We differ in almost EVERY conceivable way. Trying to make us all alike is an insult to our intelligence. To pretend otherwise is delusional, deleterious and dangerous.  
If I told you there was another mass brawl in a Denny's Restaurant this past Halloween, would you be able to predict the perpetrators' race?

If I told you another woman, strapped with bombs, blew herself up in a crowded restaurant or airport, would you be able to predict her religion?

If I said a weightlifter lifted the greatest weight ever lifted in human history, would you be able to predict the weightlifter's sex?  
If you are genuinely confused by these questions and cannot confidently answer, you are either lying to yourself, stupid, ignorant or deceived.

Being unable to recognize the brutal truth about a problem -- when it's staring you right in the face! -- is the first hurdle that must be overcome before any "solution" can be achieved. 
Donald J. Trump is a “problem solver”, not a “problem creator” (like we have in Washington, D.C.). The persistence of "problems" in Washington -- and our continuing "need" for over-weening government -- arises from our inability or unwillingness to recognize and acknowledge the truth. (Criminals and charlatans in Washington -- and in virtually every state capital --DEPEND on it!)
As for advocating for "violating the Constitution in dozens of ways", building a wall to keep criminals out of our country is NOT unconstitutional. Stopping people from entering our country is NOT unconstitutional. Limiting who can (and cannot) come into this country is NOT unconstitutional. Shipping people back whence they came illegally is NOT unconstitutional. 
What is "unconstitutional" about Trump's "contract with the American voter"? (Please enlighten me.)
You do realize that oilmen routinely snuff out fires with DYNAMITE, fighting fire with fire? 
A "dirty" cop is sometimes more useful than a "clean" one. (The "dirty" cops know where all the criminals are...and all the crimes they commit.) 
Trump acknowledges his hands are not entirely “clean”. (He's admitted to playing both sides of the fence: "going along to get along”.) 
Now it's time for the game to end. The jig is up! We’ve run out of time. It’s time to pay the piper…or the party will come to any end. 
Can Trump do it?  
I doubt it. I don't think so. 
But I KNOW Clinton can’t do it. She doesn't even want to.
End of debate (for me). 
Feel free to share your views.

  1. When Wikileaks made public Mrs. Clinton's privately-expressed dream of a borderless hemisphere, which entails the cessation of the independent existence of all countries located therein, and the liberties thereof, my decision was made clear.

    It's interesting, also, to remember that it was Mrs. Clinton, if I am not mistaken, who postulated the existence of a vast right-wing conspiracy to explain her husband's political problems. As the scripture says, wherein we judge another, we condemn ourselves, for we do the same thing - the reason she felt it reasonable to postulate the existence of such a conspiracy is because she was and is (as is made clear by the Wikileaks revelations) a member of a vast left-wing conspiracy, one which has as a goal the permanent alteration of the demographics of America, through unchecked immigration and "open borders" and "free trade" to assure themselves power.

    It's like waking up to find out the Gadiantons have, indeed, taken over all of the chief seats and rule according to their whims, letting the wicked go for their money, condemning the righteous for their righteousness, slaying judges to mold courts, so they may more easily steal and commit adultery and whoredoms, and the like.

    The Great Ether 8 conspiracy is finally in the open.
