It is far, far more than that.

Europe is at the point of collapse.
The islamic rapefugees are supposed to provide a scapegoat and help eleminate Europe’s Christian heritage as the globalists seize total power while ending their welfare state.

The United States collapse was being orchestrated to coincide with this.
If we do not collapse together with Europe everything changes.

Except for Europe collapsing.

Not a bad re-election slogan for 2020.

“Re-Elect President Trump - Bringing Normalcy to America”

The “Progressives” (read Marxists)were absolutely convinced that eight years of Obama and eight years of Clinton would turn the US into a Socialist Paradise like Cuba that they’ve been waiting on for years. They though it was in the bag and they simply cannot handle the disappointment so they’ve all turned in to deranged, hysterical lunatics. Screaming and running in circles while biting themselves in the back, looks good on them.

"...most of his policies seem traditionally conservative, logical, popular, a return to normality, and a much needed corrective to the past eight years..."

And that is precisely what's driving the left's unprecedented cranial explosions.

In a nutshell, if Trump succeeds in his mission to make America great again, the left and their entire agenda will be shown to be the abject failures they really are.

He is, for all intents and purposes, their Grim Reaper, come a'calling.

Leftists were mad at Bush. They are batshite looney over Trump.

That's because Bush gave in easily. Gave them a lot of what they wanted. Trump doesn't seem willing to compromise with America's enemies, including the democrats.

All Trump had to do to earn the hatred of the liberals and their media was to speak the truth.

Hence my former tagline:

"To anger a conservative, tell him a lie. To anger a liberal, tell him the truth."

Even decapitation chic is not new. After Bush left office, his detached head appeared on a stake in an episode of “Game of Thrones”;

LOL! I had no idea? I love that show!

Sure enough, the show runners even 'fess up to it.

“The Globalists thought they had control of the GOP. They thought they could control events to such a degree that there would never again be a President who would not be afraid of them...Trump smashed through every barrier they put up.”

I still remember in 1980, being told by a conspiracy theory kook that the Globalists (or whatever they were called back then) badly wanted Bush Sr. to be the Republican nominee, and Reagan scared the hell out of them, because they didn’t think they could control Reagan. In the end, they they were very relieved that they were able to (barely) bring Reagan under their control.

Naturally it sounded all kind of contrived to me. But then Trump runs, and the reaction from VIRTUALLY EVERY REPUBLICAN is the same: Trump is a nutcase and cannot ever be permitted in the White House. And then one asks why? Why? Because Trump wants border security? Because Trump is willing to point to the elephant in the living room when it comes to terrorism? Because Trump is willing to put conservatives on courts? Because Trump wants to restart the economy with lower taxes? Because Trump wants to end Obamacare?

Sounds exactly like a Republican DREAM CANDIDATE - perfect on every critical issue. Then why did (and do) they absolutely hate him?

Answer, they cannot control him. The ‘kook’ from 30 plus years ago was TOTALLY RIGHT.

It really didn’t matter who the Republican nominee was. They would have faced the same nonsense. It’s more visible with Trump because he was a player in thier industry and had more success than the Hollywood low life’s.

That's true. But Trump always gives them something to talk about, so everything is louder and more emotional. They'd hate any Republican, but we wouldn't hear about it quite as much or as often.

I disagree. They treat Trump much the same as they treated George W. Bush. But, Trump fights back (effectively).

The timing of Trump’s presidency clearly screws up their globalist plans, but the hatred is the same as it was 16 years ago - perhaps not as quiet as it was then, but no more or less intense.

Kaine used the word “treason” today. Howard Dean said Trump’s presidency was a “criminal enterprise.”

These seditious worms don't understand how REALLY, REALLY angry the Trumpkins are about their seditious bull0bama.

They think they're going to be able to control US while they're removing President Trump.

Boy, are they wrong...
