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.

When the young people we saw gleefully running from breached businesses with their hands full of stolen goods, do they take them home to their parents? Are those parents horrified by their child’s stealing or do they congratulate them for bring home their bounty?
How is it that these thousands of Americans are so comfortable taking what is not theirs? Do they go home and brag that they set some building on fire or that they torched a police car? It is very likely that they are proud of themselves. The media certainly supports them, seems to give them permission. Why does the media do this, support the rioters? Ratings of course.
They love riots, cherish their power to get them going. They love filming the looting without any police presence to stop it. Do they care about the lives of the business owners that are destroyed in the process? Not one bit.
There is not an anchor or guest “analyst” on CNN or MSNBC who feels an iota of compassion for the victim of the destruction wrought by these riots. To a person, they lend their on-screen approval to the rioters.
They decry their own “undeserved white privilege,” and speak endlessly about “400 years of slavery.” It’s all nonsense. It is the American media that does more harm to so many of our people than any other American institution. They are, CNN, MSNBC, NBC, CBS and ABC, truly evil. Of that here can no longer be any doubt. As a collective, they are happy to sacrifice people and property if their fanning the flames of perceived injustice gets ratings.
What is occurring all over the country has nothing to do with the murder of George Floyd. His death has been all but forgotten. For the thugs who have destroyed the property of others, stolen goods that do not belong to them, have no respect for George Floyd. What they have done in his name is despicable.
Will he be remembered for the abuse of power he suffered at the hands of a bad cop? No, he will be remembered for the destruction of major cities across the nation by criminal thieves and vandals in his name, all of whom belong in prison but most of whom walked away unscathed by a thorough lack of justice.
What we are seeing is the legacy of leftism, the progressive contempt for personal responsibility, for capitalism and for our constitutional democracy. It is precisely this kind of lawlessness that got Trump elected.
As many thousands of these thugs as there are, there are millions more Americans who love the law and our civil society, who are shocked by the craven lawlessness they are seeing. They will re-elect President Trump for all the right reasons, to make America America again!
