The world is witnessing a
political mutiny that is unprecedented in the annals of American history.
Donald Trump was duly and overwhelmingly elected President of the United States
on Tuesday November 8, 2016. He received the votes of almost 63 million
Americans, the highest total ever for a Republican Party presidential
candidate. Through a remarkably targeted campaign, he won electoral votes in 31
states, destroying his opponent in the Electoral College. For any other
President, his opponents would have given him a “honeymoon,” and allowed his
administration to get started and implement his agenda.
Unfortunately, these
traditional American political norms do not apply to Donald Trump. Despite his
legitimate victory, Trump has been the subject of an unrelenting and unparalleled
number of deceitful attacks from his disgruntled opponents. Immediately after
his victory, a sinister network of deep state operatives, Obama holdovers in
the bureaucracy, “Never Trump” Republicans, Democrats, and biased liberals in
the media joined forces to achieve one goal, overturning the election results.
The reason this corrupt cabal
is trying to invalidate the will of the American people is that President
Trump’s agenda is a severe threat to their livelihoods. The “sultans of the
status quo” view the President’s plan to put “America First” and “Drain the
Swamp,” as a call to political arms and a battle for their survival.
To protect their power,
Trump’s many opponents have tried everything from challenging the presidential
vote totals in certain states to intimidating the members of the Electoral
College. When that failed, the next step has been to manufacture the “Russian
collusion” nonsense, which has led to the precarious situation which exists
today.
Sadly, the Attorney General
Jeff Sessions made the horrible mistake of recusing himself from the
investigation, which set in motion the process that created the Special
Counsel, Robert Mueller, who is trying to find a crime to tie to President
Trump. There is nothing in in the “Russian collusion” story, so Mueller is now
scrutinizing the complicated financial dealings of the President and his
business empire.
Although the President has
expressed his displeasure with this “witch hunt,” if he attempts to fire
Mueller, Congress will try to impeach him. According to Senator Lindsey Graham
(R-SC), “any effort to go after Mueller could be the beginning of the end of
the Trump presidency.” With Republican “friends” like Graham, the President
certainly does not need enemies. To bolster his threat, Graham is working on
legislation to prevent the President from firing Mueller without “judicial
review.”
The actions of Graham and
several other GOP Senators illustrate how the Republican led Senate has
abandoned President Trump. For example, the Senate, along with the House,
overwhelmingly passed a bill imposing sanctions on Russia and preventing the
President from easing them. It is the equivalent of Congress usurping
presidential authority and since he has few Capitol Hill allies, the President
was forced to sign the bill. A veto would have surely been overturned in an
embarrassing display of presidential weakness.
Although Obamacare has been an
unmitigated disaster and Republicans in both houses of Congress have promised
for eight years to offer relief to the American people and “repeal and replace”
it, Senators left for a month-long recess without taking needed action. The
President exhorted Republican Senators to pass a bill before leaving for an
undeserved vacation, but they ignored his protests and scurried out of D.C.
anyway. The major promises of the Trump agenda such as healthcare reform, tax
cuts, infrastructure spending and building a border wall are now in total
jeopardy.
One of the chief problems has
been the lack of support for President Trump in the Republican led Congress.
These turncoats are working with Democrats to not only stop the Trump agenda,
but also to empower and protect Robert Mueller.
If congressional Republicans
cared about the agenda of President Trump and his 63 million supporters, they
would be doing something to investigate the misdeeds of the former
administration, Hillary Clinton and the unprecedented number of leaks coming
from moles within massive federal bureaucracy. President Trump has been
battered by 126 leaks in the first 125 days of his administration. The latest
embarrassment involved the leaking of transcripts of his conversations with the
leaders of Mexico and Australia. These leaks are undoubtedly federal crimes,
which should be investigated by both the Justice Department and Congress, but
it seems all the focus is on the “Russian collusion” conspiracy.
This administration faces
threats on many sides, but the most severe danger comes from the Special
Counsel. Over the last few weeks, Mueller has assembled a Democratic Party
dream team of 16 attorneys, including eight who gave contributions to liberal
candidates such as Hillary Clinton. Mueller is also compromised because he has
close ties to former FBI Director James Comey, who clearly engineered the
investigation by leaking his infamous memos.
In any other administration,
Mueller would be fired, but President Trump’s hands are tied. If he fires
Mueller, he will be impeached and the resulting firestorm will make Watergate
look like a day at the park.
As President Trump watches
Mueller expand his staff and his mission and impanel a grand jury, he is surely
asking himself why he wanted this job in the first place. Along with his
attorneys, his family and his “deplorable” base of supporters, President Trump
is alone in a sea of killer sharks working overtime to deliver a political
death blow.
At this point, it is
reassuring to know that a Bible study has been started in the White House.
Prayers may be the only thing that can save President Trump as his legions of
enemies conspire to destroy him. The mutiny on the Potomac has begun, and the
fate of the captain of our ship, President Trump, hangs in the balance.

É mais do que impressionante, é assustador! Os jornais Los Angeles Times e USA Today, é tweet atrás do outro atacando Trump, tudo é pretexto.
ResponderExcluirO Washington Times e o NYT fingem ser mais sérios: é Rússia de manhã, Rússia de tarde e Rússia à hora do jantar...
Confesso que não imaginava que o Partido Democrata albergasse tantos Psolistas, comunistas... imaginava um partido com ligeiras diferenças do Partido Republicano...
Antes das eleições escrevi um post revelando aos leitores como estava impressionado com a 'unanimidade contra Trump', mas, pensei que essa 'unanimidade' iria dar um tempo... que nada!
Dá uma olhada nesta 'opinião' do USA Today!
