The Economic Fallout of the Lockdown and Riots will not Diminish Support for Trump
American Thinker ^ | 06/01/2020 | Steve McCann

Posted on 06/01/2020 5:42:58 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

Since November 9, 2016, the nation’s elites have been obsessively determined to either use the unchecked clout of the deep state to force Donald Trump to resign, or failing that, so besmirch him and his voter base as to ensure his defeat in 2020. For the first three years of Trump's presidency both stratagems were employed in tandem.

However, with the abject failure of the Russian collusion hoax and the Ukrainian impeachment fiasco, these conspirators are now left with relying on the besmirchment option and doing everything possible to make certain that the coronavirus lockdown and the burning of American cities by the militant wing of the American left will deleteriously affect the economy going into November of 2020.

The entire dictionary of modern epithets has been utilized in attacking Donald Trump and his supporters. He has been relentlessly compared to virtually all 20th Century despots and mass murderers. He has also been accused of committing treason, of being a sexual predator, a misogynist, a xenophobe, a virulent racist and a homophobe.

Despite all the ad hominem attacks, Trump’s greatest sin is that he is uncivil and devoid of any character. The definition of “character and civility,” as it applies to this President, revolves around his perceived lack of sophistication and erudition, his speech patterns and temperament, his incessant use of Twitter as well as assigning crude nicknames to his opponents, and lastly, his insistence on being who he really is and not hiding behind a conventional political façade.

Despite this relentless bombardment of epithets and accusations, Donald Trump has not lost any of his core supporters and has, in fact, gained additional support. Further, reliance on calculatingly prolonging the economic fallout from the Wuhan Virus lockdown and the Antifa sponsored rampages will not be effective in altering the mindset

I’m wondering what will come next, because these riots are not working out well for the Left at all.

The Dems will blame him for this and blame him for his supposed inaction.

I hope the people who believe in law and order will rally behind Trump and the GOP. The ‘rats stand for lawlessness.

I’m finally realizing this is all planned and organized. Covid and the riots. I’ve always believed the US was infected with covid deliberately.

The Left doesn’t learn BLM hurt them in 2016. This mess will not end well for them either.

That's exactly what's happening as best I can see. People are clamoring for a return to law and order.

How so? They are controlling the country, looting at will, destroying, attacking police. The left is winning so far.

They can’t do their usual reverse directions and somehow blame Trump for what is obviously not Trump.
Oh wait, i bet they try.
Maybe they will try the Trump is a racist schtick, which no one really believes,or maybe they will go back to another failed attempt to claim Trump is crazy?

The media will projector on all news stories that this will diminish President Trump and it will cost him votes. So they will put more polls showing his support dropping. So when we do vote and it shows a landslide they will claim that is fraudulent and they’re attorneys General who Soros has bought and paid for will call for recounting ...then they will attempt to use the harvested ballots to push them over the top even if the percentage of registered voters exceeds 150% they will still try it.

Over the last three years Trumps support in the Black community has risen to the point that Democrats would be dead meat in the next election. Thus they want a deadly response with black bodies in the street. They want to kill black support for Trump.

I think this is what this is about i.e. kill black support and kill the economy via the Chinese virus.

The Left. Sure. That's a certain percentage of the population that will not "wake up" at all.

But I am reminded of the Goldfinger quote -- "Once, is happenstance, Mr. Bond. Twice is coincidence. The third time, is enemy action."

The general public (not "the Left") is going to be able to put together the collusion, the impeachment, the virus, the economic shutdown, the urban riots, and whatever comes next. The public is going to see that there REALLY IS a global conspiracy to bring down President Trump.

It’s part of the deal they have with Soros no doubt.

He needs to get out there and say something. Not just tweet, but be visible and present.

The Economic Fallout of the Lockdown and Riots will not Diminish Support for Trump>>>>>>>

The non action by Democrat Mayors and Democrat Governors, ordering police to allow rioting, arson and looting so the “protestors” can “vent their frustration.” is a dereliction of duty, a violation of their respective oaths of office to support and defend the Constitution, and makes each one of them impeachable.

And they as a collective political entity think that democrats will
win the popular vote in November based on the violence and destruction they have allowed?

The effect will be opposite.

Millions of Democrat property owners whose property has been destroyed, looted, vandalized, as well as those Democrat property owners whose insurance fees on their commercial property will go up and up?

They will be voting for Trump.

An overwhelming Trump victory in November has been signed, sealed and delivered.

What the left appears incapable of figuring out is, Trump has developed his public persona over decades to maximize the broad appeal of his message. He speaks the common vernacular intentionally. He comes across as coarse and even crude at times intentionally. His WWE experience has led to behavior that is akin to a carnival barker at times, and this is calculated to maximize impact. Trump is nobody’s fool, he has a vision for this country that has been developed over decades and now he is in a position to try to implement it. He thrives on chaos, to the point of intentionally stirring the pot to create it. The man is several steps ahead of just about anyone, especially his critics and political enemies. Underestimate him at your peril. He loves to be underestimated. Trump is a very unusual man, and his intelligence is very unusual. He doesn’t give a crap about accolades from people who don’t really do anything, he’s all about getting things done and maintaining his “ratings.” In the political arena, that means genuine voter approval and not fake polling. He catches the left totally flat-footed continually and they’re enraged because they just can’t figure out how to take him down. I for one am amazed by the man and am very glad he is President at this moment in history.

Hmm. I doubt it. An easier explanation would be an out of control and incompetent Presidency.
