Fear is the kissing cousin to hate
I've been watching Trump for a while now and I can't help but come to a conclusion regarding the man, other than some of the obvious adjectives. The man instills fear in a lot of powerful people. I've written blogs "pro" and "con" regarding President Trump over the years, but this is the first where I'm reflecting on how people react to him, the man, as President, as former President, and as possible future President. People fear him. I don't mean the ordinary Democratic voter, the screeching Karens and virtue signalling college students - those who hate him for his "name calling" and his "mean tweets". No, there's something else going on here. That's the only conclusion I can come to after a lot of consideration. A lot of important people fear Donald Trump to a significant degree.
Consider: The corporate media created their monster. Trump runs for President and the mainstream media thinks they can steer the Republicans away from any candidate that has a chance to beat Hillary Clinton (in their mind) by cornering the GOP into having to take Donald Trump - a living, breathing, ogre. Oh joy, the first female President ! They orchestrated his primary successes with very neutral reporting- not really emphasizing his bad manners. "Let the Republicans take the ogre against our darling, Hillary Clinton and we now have history". Remember, the media were really not visibly opposed to Trump until he actually won in 2016. Why ? Because he was NOT supposed to win! When he won, you could see their shock on the screen. "How could this be ? We selected Hillary to be President" They did not do the job of *Mad King George. In fact, they failed miserably. Today, they are determined that does not occur again as they pull out 99% of all criticism towards Trump here in 2024. It could be their heads ! There is almost no effort to find out about Kamala Harris. Is this because they like her ? No ! It's because they're afraid of Trump and the consequences of not holding up their part in the royal court. People in power are afraid of him.
Consider: Donald Trump spends a huge part of his 4 year term as President fighting off the "Russia Collusion" accusations that ended up causing his impeachments. What Russian collusion ? So we're to believe that the Russians along with Donald Trump fooled Americans into voting for him in 2016 ? That is the logic of the entire accusation. It doesn't even make sense. How ? The entire thing was a ruse and you never hear it spoken of anymore because it reads like a ridiculous accusation that the media were only too happy to oblige- even though they knew it didn't make any sense. Only the true rank and file of the Democratic party actually believed there was anything going on with Trump and Russia. They were stealing the headlines away from Donald Trump. People in power are afraid of him.
Consider: The mysterious COVID virus that suddenly popped up just on time to deflate the economy that Trump had built up with pro-business policies. Those in fear could not allow a re-election of Donald Trump and they're even willing to drag down the economy in order to sabotage his chances. The significance of the COVID virus under a normal President (that powerful people did not fear), would have been to get the vulnerable people away from crowds to protect them. It's that simple. The media and their fearful masters decided to exploit the situation by stirring up fears that ALL people need to hide in their houses as if they were also vulnerable to dying from COVID. Then their candidate could blame Donald Trump for all the bad that is happening. Kamila Harris even used that in this election during the debate when she mentioned the high unemployment and horrible economy back in 2020 -- counting on her dim-witted constituents not to consider that there was a pandemic going on at the time. Powerful people are afraid of him.
Consider: The coup that occurred against Joe Biden to remove him from the possibility of losing to Donald Trump - which was looking more and more likely with each passing week. I'm sincerely surprised he's still alive. Powerful people are afraid of him.
Consider: Two attempts on Donald Trump's life as of this writing - both under very odd, mysterious circumstances. I'm not going to get into the details of the questions behind each attempt, let's suffice it to say- Powerful people are afraid of him.
Donald Trump is the first person who could step into the White House and conceivably turn on the lights of the nation's capital to reveal the swarm of roaches scurrying away all over Washington, DC. Heads of blubbery fat agencies. Bureaucrats by the millions. Lobbyists and Washington insiders. All the little piggies suckling at the tit of the American tax payer. In the past, Presidents - from either political side- would just play along with the rape of the American people. We already know Trump won't. That's why ordinary middle class people like him ! Powerful people are afraid of Donald Trump. Who are these powerful people exactly ? I don't know ! Likely they are very powerful and wealthy people - all over the world- that do not want to be revealed or discussed by you and me. Some may be famous. A lot probably who have gained from this rigged system- names we all know. Mad King George and his royal court. The fear that he instills in them implies something significant- not just that they may lose some money, maybe some power. I sense a lot of them fear incarceration. Prison. That would explain the hyper effort to block him at every turn.
Powerful people are afraid of Donald Trump because he was one of them and he knows their game and he's not afraid of them. As President he may legitimately find out things that could lead them to lose everything, including their freedom. In my humble opinion.....
*Mad King George is my name for the morass of powerful groups that suckle at the tit of America to get richer and more powerful - the corporate media, the big pharmaceuticals, the medical field, mutli-national banks and corporations, Hollywood, lobbyists, academia (universities receive massive amounts of money from the government) and they have no regard for ordinary Americans, in fact they most likely hate us. Howard Stern announced this week regarding "anyone" that supports Trump is someone he "hates". We are what the French aristocrats would call the "bourgeois". Basically an insult to ordinary middle class people. You know, the ones that really do make the world function.
