D1, thank you for the well-reasoned essay. I concur with one more thought. I've been a Trumpster since before he announced. I read "The Art of the Deal" and knew that he would be the best president we could get. I agree with those who say that we are at war with the whole world, especially our own government. If Trump were not God-ordained he would not have won and he would not be getting anything done. He can't get a cabinet seated, and his own party works against him. As someone said, the CIA, FBI, NSI, etc are working against him and that leaves him only the military. That should frighten all of his adversaries, but they don't have sense enough to realize what they are doing. I'm not concerned because I believe that Trump is a patriot (I shudder to think of an obama in such a position).

About what to do to help him? Work like our country's survival is at stake by finding the best conservative candidates we can and fight for them to replace all the rhinos in Congress and Senate. Support them with donations and boots on the ground. It's war and we need foot soldiers.

This should be posted as a Freeper Editorial.

I lament the reluctance or cowardness of our party. I cannot explain why there is no four square support for our president.

I can think of only one, just one position of his, that I did not favor, and that was ethanol subsidies, but maybe it’s me who doesn’t understand them.

Everything else, is fine with me, but all I hear is McCain and the others bad mouthing the guy, and distancing themselves from him.

When ethanol subsidies came out, I was wrong. I supported them to spark the industry and reduce our oil consumption.

It had been my thought they wouldn’t last. Was I wrong...

No, it was wrong and I was wrong.

Good post. I agree with practically all you say.

These are my thoughts.

The only reason any of you , any American now has any freedom or any rights including the right to own property is because Donald Trump made the greatest sacrifice risking it all to save America from a fate worse than death a Hillary Clinton socialist dictatorship.

Trump didn't have to do this. He had a great life. I wouldn't have . So Trump is a better man than me. He didn't need to do this to gain wealth or power or a better life because Trump had power and wealth and the greatest life a human could have.

Now he is a media punching bag. The liberal media from a million media outlets is constantly demonizing Trump every second of every day. No one deserves this torture of massive media destruction . What are Trump's crimes ? He wants to make America great again and for the the media has to destroy. I couldn't take that constant bashing and hate from the media for all the world to see every second . No one could .

I don't know how Trumps takes all that unfair bashing and lies . He truly is the greatest hero taking all this media constant torture for us : to keep immigrants out etc. Hillary would have invited all the 3rd world hordes into America including Muslims to destroy America.

Well, to me as an observer from the outside it seems a relief to you people that your new president is cutting all connections to the former friends of the US fast.

It is not the will to earn money or to have a fair distribution of the nato-burden. It is the harsh, rude and unpolite appearence of your politicians that will divorce us.

The outcome could be difficult for the US anyway. I think it will not pay out since the Europeans i.e. will increase their millitary spending, but not in the wishes of the US. They will spend it on further millitary integration in Europe itself (to get one nuclear equipped army in central Europe). This could cost the US Ramstein as a base in the long run. The Paris treaty will survive. Without the US. Maybe someday we and others (like the Chinese and the Russians) simply put enviroment tariffs on US goods. It is also possible that the successor of President Trump joins in again. The exit made clear to most Europeans, that the current US-gouvernment is not reliable anymore. Pacta sunt servanda.

Beside of this Europe will find new friends fast. The Chinese and the Russians starve for the technology that is only available in contemporary Europe. Even you guys are not able to win the technical competition against the big European industrial trusts in the meantime, since your country and the UK were widely deindustrialized while in central Europe all big industrial players survived. The US can produce some up-to-date millitary BS but all other products are somehow outdated (except of the I-phone)... No one buys US-washers, US-cars, US-steel, US-ships, US-machines, US-fridges or whatever else since most of those products are simply not competitive anymore. They need too much energy, are not convenient enough, are too expensive and produce too much carbon dioxide. It is simply not enough to sell weapons to barbarians in Saudi Arabia. You will fall hard.

You Americans put “America first”. This is okay. But we will always put “Europe first” although we do not shout it out as unpolitely as some people in the US. We simply do it smarter. Since the US is under 10% of our foreign sale a drop out will hurt but not killl us. America is on the decline anyway since a long time. We are not impressed.

Regards from Europe

Andreas

(After this I’ll probably be zotted away - but it had to be said. Sorry.)

And President Trump still has to deal with the enemy down the street. Received this email today;

.............................................................

I do not understand how living in a country with its democracy established over 200 years ago, and now, for the first time in history, suddenly we have one of our former presidents set up a group called “Organizing for Action” - (OFA).

OFA - 30,000 strong working to disrupt everything that our current president is trying to do. This goes against our Democracy, it is an operation that will destroy our way of governing. It goes against our Constitution, our laws, and the processes established over 200 years ago. If this is allowed to proceed then we will be living in chaos very much like third world countries are run. What good is it to have an established government if it is not going to be respected and allowed to follow our laws? If this does not scare you, then we are in worse trouble than you know.

It is explained below. Do your part: read it and at least pass this on so others will know what we are up against. We are losing our country and we are so compliant. We are becoming a “PERFECT TARGET” for our enemy! Article from the New York Post - If you had an army some 30,000 strong and a court system stacked over the decades with judges who would allow you to break the laws, how much damage could you do to a country? We are about to find out in America!

The ex-president said he was going to stay involved through community organizing and speak out on the issues and that appears to be one post-administration promise he intends to keep. He has moved many of his administration’s top dogs over to an organization called Organizing for Action (OFA). OFA is behind the strategic and tactical implementation of the resistance we are seeing across America, and politically active courts are providing the leverage for this revolution.

OFA is dedicated to organizing communities for “progressive” change. Issues are gun control, socialist healthcare, abortion, sexual equality, climate change, and of course, immigration reform. OFA members were propped up by the ex-president’s message from the shadows: “Organizing is the building block of everything great we’ve accomplished. Organizers around the country are fighting for change in their communities - and OFA is one of the groups on the front lines. Commit to this work in 2016 and beyond.”

OFA’s website says it obtained its “digital” assets from the ex-president’s re-election effort and that he inspired the movement. In short, it’s the shadow government organization aimed at resisting and tearing down the Constitutional Republic - AMERICA

Paul Sperry, writing for the New York Post, says OFA will fight President Donald Trump at every turn of his presidency and the ex-president “will command them from a bunker less than two miles from the White House.” Sperry writes that the ex-president is setting up a shadow government to sabotage the incoming administration through a network of non-profits led by OFA, which is growing its war chest (more than $40 million) and has some 250 offices nationwide. OFA IRS filings, according to Sperry, indicate OFA has 32,525 volunteers nationwide. The ex-president and his wife will oversee the operation from their home/ office near the White House.

Think about how this works - for example: Trump issues an immigration executive order; OFA signals for protests and statements from pro-immigrant groups; ACLU lawyers file lawsuits in jurisdictions where activist judges obstruct the laws; volunteers are called to protest at airports and Congressional town hall meetings; the leftist media springs to action; the twitter sphere lights up with social media; violence follows - all emanating from the ex-president’s signal that he is heartened by the protests.

If Barack Obama did not do enough to destroy this country in the 8 years he was in office, it appears his future plans are to destroy the foundation on which this country has operated on for the last 241 years.

Well since they will be operating close to the white house, a bunch of Patriots say hundreds of thousands will know where to protest them and keep hounding them and their main offices. We can make it so uncomfortable for their second tier workers that their own effort to disrupt our country will itself be disrupted. There are more of us then there are of them and Obama is not president any more!

A Response to a rather Rude European “Guest”!

It’s the same sort of twaddle you folks were saying about us before the first world war,(then we had to intervene to stop that internecine blood bath you “smart cultured Europeans were having over there); then before the second world war,(where we again had to intervene in to stop that other internecine blood bath you “smart cultured European” were having over there including the attempted extermination of all Jews) then you bleated like sheep over the soviet cold war threats hoping that we wouldn’t cut the American Taxpayer spigot off so that Europeans could keep their heavily government subsidized Central European industries(that you seem proud of) (while they put heavy tariffs on our goods) and their cradle to grave socialism. You can have your base back at Ramstein, we don’t have the money anymore to run it.

Good luck with the Russians...they are a pack of wolves! Oh and good luck with the Muzzies....they are a pack of lions! Europe will have to decide real quick which predator they would rather be eaten by! Perhaps a strange accident will happen at CERN causing Europe to be sucked ass backward into some interdimensional genie bottle with a sign on it that reads..”Do not open under any circumstances...whining high maintenance Drama Queen inside!”

PS” and about your complaints about US Rudeness as opposed the so called “European Politeness”. We would simply call it Cultural Passive Aggressiveness on the part of Europe! General Patton would have called it “yellow bellied cowardice!”
