Trump Outfoxed Them Again
American Thinker.com ^ | July 20, 2017 | Lloyd Marcus

Posted on 07/20/2018 5:02:04 PM PDT by Kaslin

Trump is wise for not falling into the Democrats' fake news media and the Deep State's trap of saying Russia tampered with our election.  Russia has tried to impact our elections forever.  While 12 Russians were indicted in the Russia collusion investigation, no Americans were indicted.  Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein stated that Russian tampering had no impact on the outcome of our presidential election.  In other words, Trump won fair and square

All they are interested in is Trump gifting them with a sound bite they can distort and lie about to harm him. If Trump said Russia tampered but it did not impact our election, fake news media would report, "Trump admits Russian tampering." MSNBC would report, "Trump practically admitted he colluded with Russia to steal the election from Hillary." Nowhere in the fake news media frenzy would you hear the second part of Trump's statement: "...it did not impact our election."

We know the drill, folks. How many times must leftists lay "gotcha" traps for conservatives and Republicans before our side gets it? When will Republicans and conservatives understand that they cannot play nice, appease, try to reason with, or find common ground with leftist fanatics? These evil, hate-filled people want conservatives, Republicans, and Trump politically dead. Period. It is not an exaggeration to say many political elites and leftists want our president physically dead.

Conservative pundits who joined the American left's and Deep State's chorus demanding that Trump admit Russian tampering still don't get it.  What part of the American left and Deep State's contempt for fairness or truth do these conservatives not understand?  The American left and Deep State are laser-focused on kicking Trump out of office by any means necessary.

I expect this sort of thing from 3 of these scum. I confess that I am sorely disappointed by Newt. I was so impressed by him in 1994.

Putin’s guys were organizing both pro- and anti-Trump protests after the election. You gotta hand it to them - there’s nothing the Russians do better than stirring up crap:

https://www.justice.gov/file/1035477/download
[“After the election of Donald Trump in or around November 2016, Defendants and their co-conspirators used false U.S. personas to organize and coordinate U.S. political rallies in support of then president-elect Trump, while simultaneously using other false U.S. personas to organize and coordinate U.S. political rallies protesting the results of the 2016 U.S. presidential election,” the Robert Mueller indictment of 13 Russian nationals charges. “For example, in or around November 2016, Defendants and their co-conspirators organized a rally in New York through one group designed to ‘show your support for President-Elect Donald Trump’ held on or about November 12, 2016. At the same time, Defendants and their co-conspirators, through another group, organized a rally in New York called ‘Trump is NOT my President’ held on or about November 12, 2016. Similarly, Defendants and their co-conspirators organized a rally entitled ‘Charlotte Against Trump’ in Charlotte, North Carolina, held on or about November 19, 2016.”]

Newt’s problem is the following; for 75% of the time he’s great, often better then great!. Then some mornings he must wake up and think “It’s got to be about me! I have to get people to talk about me!”. His inner jerk takes over and he makes an ass of himself. As Brando said in the movie ‘On the Waterfront’, “I coulda been a contender! Instead I’m a bum!”.
Newt coulda, shoulda but didn’t, he too often chooses bum!

There are no three words in the English language that Trump can say that the liberals would not distort and lie about.

Wolf, Wolf, Wolf, Wolf, Wolf, Wolf, Wolf, Wolf, Wolf, Wolf

Tell big lies, Tell big lies, Tell big lies, Tell big lies

Lie constantly,Lie constantly,Lie constantly,Lie constantly

and that is the real and true strategy of the left.

Why we are Doomed

I have to add to this, I tested over 1,300 folks, throw in the Art Lafer’s curve (He checked economies back 3500 years and determined that when the Government is more than 17% of GNP the economy declines, we are at 25%)

I have been testing people for their management style (same as personality) for my entire working career. Then for 15 years I owned a large consulting company here in Seattle, and tested a many more folks (over a 1,000) for high level positions, as well as for team building in both the public and private sector.

Here is a quick summary: There are 6 basic elements that make us who we are and how we act. Drive (accomplishment), Influence (control over others) Compliance (following the rules) Security (action taken to prevent the unexpected), Energy level and IQ (least important).

The relationship of those attributes makes us who we are. I believe it is determined 70% genetic and 30% cultural.

In High School are egos, are much more sensitive and still evolving. There are actually 9 basic groups of personality styles, but four basic ones:

Task Oriented - These people are driven by accomplishing tasks - they tend to be a bit gruff, and focused on getting things done. Good delegater’s, but expect results from their subordinates. About 17% of the population (my estimate) Business owners, managers, etc

Influencers - these folks are motivated by their control over others. They are personable, look good, and tend to be popular - They tend to be poor delegator’s, and micro manages their subordinates. Also about 17 %. Politicians (why we’re doomed), Lawyers, Journalists, Academics Marketing & Sales, and entertainers.

Compliant - Detail oriented creative, and steady. Can be counted on - this is about 33% of the population. Engineers, Doctors, Scientists, researchers, teachers

Security Detail oriented also, tends to be conservative, protects status by following direction, steady good friend, and helper. Also about 32% of population, Artisans, carpenters, steel workers, also many engineers, Doctors and professionals.

Now, those 6 characteristics vary from high to low in all individuals so we humans are individually unique. Also some people are able to move from one style to another.

Throw in physical attributes, and it gets even more complex.

A study done where they sent around two people to interview for a high level job at NY investment firms: One was a tall athletic, good looking guy who was not to bright (acted that way), and the other was over weight, short, and brilliant - knew the business. Guess who got the job offers.

So, the reason that democracies throughout human history always evolve into tyrannies or oligarchies is that the 65% of the folks (Compliant – Security oriented) are the go along get along, and don’t rebel until they lose it all.

The US is about 2/3 along the way, with a rapidly growing government with expanding crony capitalism. Economist Art Lafer studied the role in government on the economy over the last 2500 years and determined that once the government gets to 17% of the GNP, the economy becomes in a permanent decline. We are at 25% now. This is because government is a monopoly and becomes inefficient, incompetent and corrupt

One other thing I can add, A study was done during the Vietnam War by the U of Chicago and several other universities:

They set up a lab with an actor in a glass room below a control station. He looked like he was strapped in a bed with wires running to him. In the control room, was an instrument panel with buttons indicating electrical power sent to the Actor (volunteer). the subject was brought in and told that this experiment was vital to the US security with Generals and Doctors in white coats there explaining the critical importance. The subject was told to ask the volunteer questions and when he missed the answer to push the low level button, as each question was missed the voltage would go up until death of the volunteer. the volunteer would be screaming and wanting release but the authorities would keep explaining to the subject the critical nature of the study. Guess what % of the subjects killed the volunteer? 93-94%!!!! done in Germany by the Heidelberg U it was 97%.

Oh yeah, there is another thing we are infected with called “Transference”. This is when you hit your thump with a hammer you blame the hammer. We all do it, but some justify murder (ISIS).

Interesting. I’ve noticed that many of the execs I’ve worked for were not the brightest people ... nor the most effective. It bothered me for a long time but now I’m just resigned to how it works. Took me a while to realize that bad promotion decisions weren’t actually mistakes. They got exactly what they wanted. Attributes the companies I worked for were Compliance and “pretty.”

Israel is constantly interfering in US elections.

Obama interfered in the Israeli elections.

The US has used troops and covert activities to influence elections or precipitate regime change in other nations for over 100 years. The 20th Century history of Central America and the Caribbean nations is all about the US destabilizing governments or toppling governments. Reagan invaded Panama and Grenada. Obama destabilized Libya, resulting in the death of Khadaffi and the US ambassador. Kennedy overthrew Diem in Vietnam. Eisenhower’s CIA overthrew the elected government of Iran and replaced it with a dictator - the Shah. The Chinese funneled money to Bill Clinton’s campaigns in the 1990’s. During the 2016 election campaign Hillary publicly stated foreign leaders were calling her expressing support against Donald Trump. Is it a coincidence foreign gifts to the Clinton Foundation were high up to election day and immediately plummeted when she lost.

It is long past time for Trump to declassify and release the information showing the foreign support Hillary received in 2016.

Dont forget...it was under obama that russians tried to “interfere”...so now Trump will be justified in monitoring all forms of voter fraud...this will keep Hillary from trying to cheat again. This...plus the potential to expose hillaries back channel to russia...will keep her away from politics until she is too weak to hold a pen. Of course dont discount anything from those two.

I won’t go so far as to call him a fair weather friend, but Newt loves to be heard, as well as agreed with. When Trump disagrees with his positions, Newt doesn’t like it, and insists on his own point being the right one, even when it’s not.
