Only Donald Trump Could Make Liberal Democrats Sound Like Conservative Constitutionalists

Folks, listen to me! I am as sick and tired of writing about Donald Trump as you probably are of reading what I write about Donald Trump. In fact, I’m sick of looking at Trump; I’m sick of reading about Trump; I’m sick of listening to Trump; I’m sick of Trump. Period.

I wish he would take his orange hair, his fat derriere and his high-heeled bimbos to one of his overseas mansions and leave America alone.

And I should add that I’m sick and tired of all of the Christians and conservatives who keep trying to defend this arrogant, narcissistic creep. Move on already! Your man is an embarrassment, a has-been opportunist and, frankly, an ignorant jackass. The longer he hangs around, the longer the GOP is going to continue to tank.

I’m sure you’ve all heard Trump’s latest buffoonery. Trump is now calling for “the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution” [Emphasis added], that he might return to the presidency.

Fraud or no fraud, that a former president and candidate to be the next president could publicly call for the outright termination of the U.S. Constitution portrays a man who is not only totally oblivious to the purpose and significance of the Constitution—and the oath that he took to uphold and defend it—it also portrays the heart of a would-be monarch and imperialist.

But his extreme ignorance of the Constitution (and utter lack of interest in learning anything about it) and his lust for power have always been Trump’s Achilles Heel.

When he was president, Trump said this about the unconstitutional, tyrannical seizing of firearms from Americans who have committed NO CRIME, under the rubric of “Red Flag” laws:

I like taking the guns early. To go to court would have taken a long time. Take the guns first, go through due process second. Take the firearms first, and then go to court.

That statement revealed MUCH about Trump. It shows he has NO respect for the Constitution, Bill of Rights or Freedom. In that one statement, Trump proposed throwing out the Second Amendment, Fourth Amendment, Fifth Amendment, Sixth Amendment and the Seventh Amendment—if not the entire Bill of Rights.

Now, Trump boldly says it’s time to “terminate” the Constitution altogether. And hardly any Republican has had the courage to publicly rebuke this idiot. The silence is deafening.

Can one imagine what the reaction would have been among Republicans, conservatives and evangelicals had that statement been made by Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer or any other liberal Democrat? They would all be howling like a pack of wolves.

But when Trump says it: SILENCE.

Of course, Democrats quickly pounced on Trump’s stupid statement.

From Biden’s White House:

The American Constitution is a sacrosanct document that for over 200 years has guaranteed that freedom and the rule of law prevail in our great country. The Constitution brings the American people together —regardless of party — and elected leaders swear to uphold it. It’s the ultimate monument to all of the Americans who have given their lives to defeat self-serving despots that abused their power and trampled on fundamental rights. Attacking the Constitution and all it stands for is anathema to the soul of our nation, and should be universally condemned.

From Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-California):

Every congressional reporter should demand responses from Congressional Republicans about Donald Trump’s call for the Constitution to be terminated … how many of them called themselves 'Constitutional conservatives' during the Obama years???

From Rep. Adam Schiff (D-California):

I guess a ‘constitutional conservative’ is one who is conservative in their support for the constitution … when it’s not inconvenient.

Biden’s White House statement could have been written by Thomas Jefferson. The statement succinctly embodies America’s great founding principles. And this comes from a man, Joe Biden, that has made a career out of trampling and abridging constitutional government; and he himself is the embodiment of gross government corruption. But his statement makes Trump sound like a communist by comparison.

Only Trump could manage something like that.

Swalwell is one of the most anti-Bill of Rights—especially the Second Amendment—congressmen to ever set foot in our nation’s capital. He embodies everything our Founding Fathers fought a revolutionary war to break free from. But his statement makes conservative Republicans sound like giant hypocrites.

Only Trump could manage something like that.

Schiff is another anti-Constitution, anti-Bill of Rights and anti-Liberty congressman. But, again, his statement accurately portrays Republican cowardice and makes them sound like the enemies of freedom and himself the defender of it.

Again, only Trump could manage something like that.

The Republicans are really up a creek. In spite of the fact that Biden and Harris are the most unpopular president and vice president in U.S. history, the GOP is virtually leaderless, without direction and has ZERO momentum for the 2024 elections. And if Republicans nominate Trump for president again, they will go down in flames in 2024. Election fraud won’t even be needed.

Biden is unlikely to be the Democratic nominee in 2024. And the mantle seems to be falling on liberal Democrat California Governor Gavin Newsom—and Newsom is Biden on steroids.

So, here is the pickle for Republicans: If they nominate Trump, they lose—BIG. But the early contenders that seem to be lining up are un-inspirational Republicans such as Nikki Haley, Mike Pence, John Bolton, Mike Pompeo and Virginia Governor Glen Youngkin.

(Watch for evangelical’s Christian Zionist leaders—such as Robert Jeffress—to begin backing Pence, as they see Pence as the one most likely to keep promoting Trump’s fanatical Zionist agenda.)

Please understand that when it comes to a presidential election, neither Democrats nor Republicans elect the winner. It is always Independents that do that. That is why Trump could never win in 2024. He has lost the Independent vote.

Against the Republicans listed above, Newsom would be very hard to beat. The ONLY Republican that would have a significant advantage over Newsom would be Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. I don’t think Democrats could field a candidate that could beat DeSantis in 2024. Florida’s election is a harbinger of what I’m saying, as DeSantis won two of the three Democratic stronghold counties: Dade and Palm Beach. (Broward went Democrat, as usual.)

Mind you, I am not endorsing anyone. I am merely giving you my educated observations. Our real problem is spiritual, not political, as I have said repeatedly.

But back to my analysis.

If Republicans would quickly distance themselves from Trump and pool their resources behind DeSantis, I believe he would win with a significant margin of victory—no matter who the Democrat opponent would be.

The Covid tyranny is still fresh in everyone’s mind. Only the most ardent defenders of statism and government overreach continue to admire Fascist Fauci. The vast majority of Americans now realize the Covid narrative was a giant con job, and they are looking for someone to lead the country out of it—and perhaps even bring justice to the perpetrators.

DeSantis is the only major politician from either party that has had the courage to aggressively resist the Covid tyranny. On the other hand, Trump continues to enthusiastically promote the Covid narrative and even brags about his part in making it happen. What a dope!

DeSantis could carry his anti-Covid lockdowns and mandates message all the way to the White House. Newsom’s ultra-liberal candidacy would even help strengthen DeSantis’ message. Floridians are NOT moving to California; but Californians are moving to Florida in droves.

The problem for Republicans is that Trump is a destroyer. The only thing he cares about is himself. And he has already served notice to any potential GOP rival that he will destroy anyone who dares to run against him in the primary—especially DeSantis, because Trump knows DeSantis would be his most serious competitor.

I realize that nothing I say will have any influence on Trump’s fan base. Regardless, they need to wake up and realize that any man who can make the most liberal Democrats in the country sound like champions of freedom by comparison needs to be shown the door—before it slams shut.
