Alinsky tactics don't work on someone without Trump's peculiar mix of character strengths and flaws. I saw very early on that he would be strong enough to withstand the onslaught and give as good if not better than he got.
So, to me, while Trump is far from perfect, he is, really, the best tool for the job at this point in time. THink of him as Loki determined to burn the entire rotten system down and you have a good idea of who he is. What we'll wind up with is anyone's guess but it won't be Trump that builds it.
That's why the globalists who think they run the world are scared of him and Putin, both refuse to bend the knee and are smart enough to survive them. This is why Trump is allied with the military as they stand in stark opposition to the selling out of the U.S. but with that comes a lot of warmed-over Cold War mentality we will have to suffer through while Trump atomizes the evil in the DoJ and the CIA.
I was so disillusioned by politics and figured the election had already been decided for Hillary and the globalists by those voting machines no one is allowed to audit.
When Trump won, I thought, "Huh, maybe they actually do count the votes."
Then I thought, "Maybe they're just letting him win so they can set him up for a huge fall. The Globalists can go on doing what they want anyway, and when the world comes crashing down they can blame it on Trump before putting their own candidate back in, on a firmer foundation.
It's interesting times for sure.
I did the same thing early on, but was convinced that Trump was the outsider... the fulfillment of Ron Paul's revolution that was simply mis-timed. The populist trend had been rising for a decade, it just took that long and the right person at the right time to make it happen.
It is a stark reminder that these people only wield half the power they think they do and less than half of what we think they do.
there are 7+ billion of us and a couple thousand of them..... math meets reality.
I am convinced that Trump was simply Ross Perot Version 2.0 -- He never expected to actually win... which just goes to show just how much Hillary and the Globalists are hated by so many Americans..... Even when she hand picked her opposition -- spent a billion on her campaign... she still lost. Everytime I think of that.... It gives me hope... EVERY.SINGLE.TIME. :)
