The Swamp Wants You to Think They’ve Seized the Presidency from Trump
Rush Limbaugh.com ^ | October 10, 2017 | Rush Limbaugh

Posted on 10/10/2017 1:05:16 PM PDT by Kaslin

RUSH: I’m seeing more and more stories, and it’s related to this whole Corker snafu, that Trump really isn’t president. That Kelly and Mattis and Tillerson have seized the office and are openly defying Trump on everything. The purpose of the story is just to put forth two propositions.

One, of course that Trump is a dangerous idiot like Corker says, on the verge of starting World War III, and veterans of the swamp literally have to countermand him on virtually everything. And of course the second aspect of the story is a constitutional crisis.

If that’s really happening, for example, if the intelligence community people like the NSA and the CIA and those people, and the military, are actually running the country by defying Trump, then is there a constitutional crisis going on? And I want to address those as only I can in due course.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: What Trump is actually doing here and this story that the generals in the intelligence departments, agencies have taken over running the country and are in open defiance of Trump. Those stories are from people that you would have thought are conservative by virtue of their names and their past, but they have become so addled with anger and rage…

I think what’s really driving a lot of these so-called conservatives is that their influence has been demonstrated to be nil. They’ve devoted their magazines and their commentary to beating Trump, and it didn’t happen, and so now they’re just angry and throwing whatever against the wall and seeing if it’ll stick. But it is nevertheless a serious charge that Trump is being openly defied by the swamp, members of the swamp and his administration. So why doesn’t he fire ’em if that’s happening? I have a theory that I will espouse as the program unfolds.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: There are increasingly stories showing up in so-called conservative media. Not just conservative media, but certainly conservative media included basically say that Donald Trump is really not president. He’s got the title but he’s so screwy and so off the wall and so dangerous that the adults in the White House are countered maddening practically every order and he gives and are saving the country from him — and, therefore, saving world. They would want us to believe that Trump’s given the order (or gotten close) to nuke North Korea, for example, but the adults are countermanding the order.

Now, that’s not example. That’s not something people claim has happened. But the issue being raised here is two-pronged. Okay, if this is happening, is Trump really this insane? Is this Trump really this… So much so that Tillerson, Mattis, and Kelly are having to run the country? Oh, and another group of people supposedly taking over running the country is the intelligence community. The intelligence community and the military, in these stories, are said to be actually running the country.

The other aspect of it is a constitutional crisis if this is happening, and nobody’s stopping it, and if Trump apparently is okay with it, then hell’s bells here, folks! We’ve got the rise of the military-industrial complex having taken over the country and nobody knows it yet. So that is the second prong of the two prongs that I’m seeing written about here. And in both prongs you have to ask, “Wait a minute, now. If Trump is being regularly countermanded…” For those of you in Rio Linda, that means not listened to.

“If Trump’s orders are not being carried out, Trump obviously knows this, so why does he put up with it?” If Trump is sitting there saying whatever he is saying about immigration and tax reform and… This all springs from his Twitter back-and-forth with Bob Corker, by the way. That’s the starting point for this. People are saying, “If Trump’s aware of this, then he must be okay with it. If he’s giving orders here and there and they’re not being listened to, not being implemented, and he’s not complaining about it, then…

“Well, it doesn’t compute. Why’s he putting up with this?” This is what I shall attempt to answer as the program unfolds.

Trump is waiting until popular resentment and anger against the establishment boils over and he picks up more supporters in Congress in the mid-terms.

Then watch the fireworks as Ryan, McConnell and McCain get sent to the woodshed.

Trump’s power is GROWING, daily. You can feel it. He is going to win. The Swamp is in full defensive panic. The Democrats are in disarray, and now totally distracted by Weinstein, when they should be positioning for 2018. This is HUGH, folks!

It is though, scary to contemplate a GOPe coup on Trump. And I am convinced that if they thought that they could get away with it, they would try to oust him so they can get back to “regular order,” which is being loyal lapdogs for the DemoRATs while living off of their donors.

John McTumor is the king swamp rat. When he rolls over the swamp will slowly start to drain down.

True! The 2018 Congress will be much more pro-Trump.

Yes, it’s becoming more obvious by the day. Thank God.

Yes: RINOs and DemoKKKrats are the Uniparty. There are no one-sided coins.

McCain will be worm food by the midterms. McConnell will (please, Kentucky) be gone. So it'll just be little Paul, and I hope to God enough of the House comes to their senses and pink slips him from the Speaker's chair.

I’ve seen what the Democraps can come up with 2020. Zuck, Iger etc, they’re all gonna lose. Buncha rich lib billionaires who are PHONY, unlike Trump. People just dont like libs nowadays. The NFL protests was just a small sample of where the winds blow.

He may still be waddling around the Senate House but if Trump gets enough people in there the old bastard will be history as Majority leader.

"This is what I shall attempt to answer as the program unfolds."

Hey Rush, you should explain the Joseph Gobbles propaganda here, "Tell a lie long enough and it becomes truth....." As with the Russian "collusion" it was always a myth....Hillary selling uranium to the Russians or John Podesta's business deals with the Russians are real, not myths and other Democrat/Progressive's working with the Russians is real.

Limbaugh, don't let the left bamboozle you also....we need your clear head more than ever.
