Trump: The Maligned President
By Douglas V. Gibbs
Author, Speaker, Instructor, Radio Host
The Democrat Party has created a destructive and false narrative, and they are going to stick to it through thick and thin. If accused of creating it through smoke, mirrors, and misdirection, they will deny, deny, deny. The liberal left machine has maligned President Trump in so many ways, and as a result we don’t even seem to understand who he is, or what he is, in the first place. They want us to believe he ran for President to seek power, that Trump is a racist and a sexist who fed on the white supremacy feelings of a segment of the population, and that in the long run what he wants is a strong government that controls everyone, and destroys the freedoms we have enjoyed for over two centuries. Interestingly, he was never considered a racist or sexist until he dared to run against the Democrats.
Let’s take a look at their arguments.
1: Why Run for President?
Why did Donald J. Trump run for President? Was it for wealth? For power? He already had those things, so surely neither qualify as a serious reason for Trump running for office. Could it be he genuinely felt that America’s light was being extinguished, and that it would take a firm hand like his to “make America great again?”
I believe Mr. Trump joined the 2016 Presidential Campaign because he had some issues that were important to him, and the party who was supposed to be strong on those issues, the GOP, wasn’t even talking about them. It was as if the Republicans were too afraid to discuss immigration, Islam, or repealing Obamacare. Then, once Trump dove in, with the intent of putting a spotlight on his big issues, his business and economic acumen began to kick in. People responded, so Trump responded.
Naturally, Trump is a boisterous son of a gun, and after decades of wimpy Republicans bending over backwards to the demands of the Democrats, even when the party of the donkey was in the minority, Trump’s “in their face” attitude and techniques struck a chord with the voters. Finally, someone who would not put up with the establishment, and would actually stand up against it.
2: Driving Forces.
Donald Trump reminds me of Captain Kirk of the Starship Enterprise. He does not believe in no-win scenarios. He is one to jump it without looking, even if it is the unpopular thing to do, because he thinks his way is the right way to fix whatever the problem is. Sometimes, Trump speaks without checking with the consultants about the dangers of what he’s saying, or doesn’t realize that what he says or does could be twisted to mean something else. But, in truth, Trump doesn’t care; and often, those misspoken tidbits are not what they seem. Often, they are well-placed land mines in Trump’s never-ending art of the deal that may be setting up his next move. Take what he says the way you want, he’s going to do what he thinks is the best way to defeat the undefeatable, despite any political opinions by the same old consultants who’ve been screwing up the Republican Party since Reagan, anyway. Fact is, Trump likes to win, and he’s a competitor, and he will not give up on his pledge to make America Great Again – no matter how convinced some are that his efforts are efforts in futility.
3: Information.
Trump informs himself in a variety of ways, and most of them do not include the mainstream media. This ticks off the leftist journalists who think that their job is to set the narrative. So, they accuse Trump of chasing “fake news,” and of accessing news that is not authentic or trustworthy. Problem is, after everything pans out, it turns out Trump knew what he was talking about, in the first place. Sweden’s problem with Islam is a great example of that.
The mainstream media also accuses Trump of disseminating misinformation, and they use the size of his inauguration crowds as an example. Trump claimed his inauguration crowd was huge, and the press said otherwise. Then, they provided an image to prove it, except, it turned out the image of the crowd was taken early in the day, prior to the moment the crowd reached its maximum number of attendees. In short, the press believed their own bullcrap, and then hammered Trump for not agreeing with them. In their eyes, either you agree with them one hundred percent, or you are misinformed.
4: Power of Repetition.
There is an old saying about if you repeat a lie often enough, it eventually becomes the truth. The mainstream media uses that technique as much as they can. Past tyrannies did, as well.
If telling a lie often enough turns it into the truth, can the lies not be combated by repeating the truth often enough that the truth becomes the new truth over the lies?
The Trump administration is very good about the power of repetition, and chipping away at the false narrative promoted by the Democrat Party and the liberal left media. Sean Spicer, in his press conferences, slams the media, exposing them for their religious adherence to their false narrative. And then, Spicer, like Trump, repeats it again and again and again.
5: Power of Distraction.
The Democrats have a history of using various strategies exposing certain pieces of news in order to distract you from what they are doing. It’s like the magician who uses misdirection to get you to watch one hand, while the other does the dirty work so as to make the illusion he is performing convincing. The Trump team has realized that the Democrats do this, and have created their own power of distraction. However, instead of creating scandals to cover up illegal doings like the Democrats do, the Trump distractions are designed to get you to stop talking about the crap the media is putting out there. As the media accuses Trump of something, rather than bicker with them like he did until recently, he simply performs an action that takes your mind off the media’s lies and onto what Trump is trying to do as President. Usually, it works. As the scramble with Congress to get them to work with him on Obamacare and tax reform is going on, a couple important military actions were pulled off. Suddenly, everyone was talking about Syria’s airbase, or the “Mother of All Bombs” being dropped on ISIS in Afghanistan near the Pakistan border. They were positive distractions to remind you this President isn’t just what the liberal left media says he is.
6: Consistency.
Like him, or not, Trump is consistent. He is always the guy we saw campaigning. As the saying goes, it’s just “Trump being Trump.”
He’s not a political figure, he’s a businessman. While everyone touted how “presidential” his speech to the joint session of Congress was, that was simply Trump relying on his speech writers, and realizing that sometimes, he has to make the establishment hounds happy. But, what we love about him is that he’s not a part of the establishment, and he has consistently reminded us of that with his actions as President, and the people he has surrounded himself with.
Trump Tweets. He says seemingly bombastic things. He slams the media and the Democrats. And to the horror of the liberal left, Trump is not going to change those things for anyone.
The Democrats have been saying that the status quo has been the problem, that the Washington way to do things was broken, and someone needed to come in and drastically fix it. Then, they offered a status quo candidate in Hillary Clinton, and are surprised people voted for Trump because he came in as an outsider agreeing that the status quo is a problem, and had a plan to upend it, and fix it.
And his drive to stir the proverbial establishment pot will not end. He will consistently challenge the ruling elite, and put them in their places.
President Trump is not part of the status quo that Americans have now been conditioned to oppose, and he’s not going to change to accommodate the establishment’s minions in Washington.
Those same polls that show Trump with a low approval rating, the worst of any president at this stage, also say that Trump has little chance to make it through his first term and assumes there’s no way for him to avoid a midterm disaster.
Average Americans were absolutely jazzed to vote for the outsider billionaire with no government experience. They liked his temperament, and rejected the media’s false narrative about Trump’s character. They don’t trust the liberal media, they are sick of the establishment, and they knew that Trump was the only Republican with enough brass in his undershorts to stand up to the “bureaucracy as usual” crowd.
