Sticking Up for Trump

Spencer J. Quinn

2,132 words

There’s no wrong answer—just tell me which is worse.

1. A shady cabal of elites who steal the US presidential election in 2020 because the sitting president was not sufficiently anti-white, which leads to his senile replacement allowing tens of millions of third-world immigrants to flood the United States as well as a war in Ukraine in which over half a million whites are killed?

Or

2. A shady cabal of elites who create a vast, worldwide pedophile ring which not only commits and covers up some of the most grotesque crimes imaginable—possibly including torture and cannibalism—but also controls world leaders and influential people on behalf of Israel’s Mossad through blackmail and murder?

Of course, we’re talking about the differences between the eighth and ninth circles of Hell here. So, if you don’t have a preference, that’s fine. But I think everyone who’s not a member of the aforementioned shady cabals can agree that both options are really, really bad. What scares me, however, is that fully prosecuting the people responsible for #2 above might permanently prevent us from canceling and undoing #1. That would be really, really bad as well.

Since he is the direct cause of #1 and is implicated somewhat in #2, President Donald Trump has been caught up in this debacle, and might also have been responsible for making it worse. It is largely through the force of this man’s implicitly pro-white perspective—relative to all other major US politicians, of course—that #1 happened at all. Then, since the 2024 election in which he regained the presidency, he has actually worked to reverse it, largely through closing the border and mass deportations of illegal aliens. He campaigned on such a platform, won the electoral and popular votes in 2024, and then largely followed through on his promises. He has also made progress eliminating or downgrading such anti-white measures as refugee resettlement, diversity visas, DEI and affirmative action, birthright citizenship, temporary protected status, and disparate impact liability. Not only this, he has also purged wokeness from the US military, limited the Left’s ability to launder money through government waste, pushed back against transgenderism on multiple fronts, and severed the FBI’s ties to the Jewish supremacist Anti-Defamation League. There’s more, of course.

There’s also much to be frustrated about Trump. He has vacillated and disappointed on deportations. He has shown weakness and called it strength, such was when he started scaling down ICE deportation efforts in Minneapolis. He has also given us enough mixed signals about the Epstein files to be credibly accused of covering up, stonewalling, or obfuscating. Greg Johnson has the goods on all of this.

Yet, we can all agree on several things.

  1. Despite all allegations of sexual misconduct against Trump found so far in the Epstein files, there is nothing credibly linking him to criminal activity.
  2. Under Trump’s watch, the Epstein files were released—which is more than what we can say about his predecessor Joe Biden. The most recent dump occurred after the above-linked essays were published. So despite everything Trump deserves credit for that. Without him, the Epstein files would never have seen the light of day.
  3. Despite the thousands of references to Trump in the Epstein files, Trump cut ties with Epstein in the mid-2000s. Yes, the email exchange from 2013 that Greg Johnson includes in his “Epstein Bomb” essay indicates that the two men might have had contact at events held by third parties after their split. But the email reveals only that Epstein knew that Trump was going to be at a certain event, not the other way around. Further, it is not inconceivable that two high-powered billionaires operating in New York City would bump into each other from time to time, whether they wanted to or not.
  4. It is perfectly reasonable at this point to suspect that Trump was or still is hiding something embarrassing about himself in those files. This would explain the mixed signals he has given off about them and the outright contradictory things FBI Director Kash Patel and others have said about them. Greg Johnson’s suspicions of a cover up are well founded.

My take on this is that unless something comes out credibly linking Trump to a serious crime, sexual or otherwise, the Right still needs to back him—and by “back him,” I mean keeping our criticism south of character assassination and calls for his ouster. Say what you want about him, he remains light years better than the alternative. I have four main reasons for holding this position.

First, and let me apologize in advance for engaging in the warm and fuzzies, but I just like the guy. I can’t help it. I like his fighting spirit, I like his boundless faith in himself, I like his entertainment value, I like how he’s not intimidated by the Left, and I like how he shook up the complacent Republican Party. I mean, he called Tim Walz a retard—what’s not to love about that? If you drew Venn diagrams of Trump’s outlook and mine, you would probably find more overlap than with any other Republican politician since Pat Buchanan. This instills a sense of loyalty in me, so my default with Trump is to overlook his copious flaws, downplay his failings, and focus on all the good he’s been doing. And since being sworn back in in 2025, there has been a lot of that.

You can buy Greg Johnson’s Is America Doomed? here.

Secondly, Trump is making it his priority to undo #1 above. Yes, he is operating according to a system that might not always favor the executive. So it is understandable if his record is spotty. For example, federal judges have been blocking his efforts to end birthright citizenship since his second term began. However, he has been placing tremendous pressure on the Republicans to sponsor the SAVE America Act. This will require proof of US citizenship in order to vote. The Act passed in the House 218 to 213, and it appears that it will barely have the votes necessary to pass in the Senate. If the Act makes its way to Trump’s desk despite whatever talking filibuster the Democrats can put together, then it will become much more difficult for them to cheat. Tacitly allowing non-citizens to vote is one way they do this, and Trump, thank goodness, is shutting that down.

Furthermore, Trump is at least trying to acquire legal grounds upon which to prosecute those responsible for rigging the 2020 election. Last month’s raid of Fulton County, Georgia’s election office, and the fact that the DOJ has sued over twenty states for refusing to hand over their 2020 election data indicate that Trump is serious. Whether he’s successful, only time will tell. However, I have some doubts that Vice President JD Vance shares Trump’s laser focus on this issue should Trump go down thanks to Epstein.

Here is a quote from JD Vance from 2016 regarding Trump. Keep in mind that Vance was in his early thirties when he said this:

I go back and forth between thinking Trump is a cynical asshole like Nixon who wouldn’t be that bad (and might even prove useful) or that he’s America’s Hitler. How’s that for discouraging?

And when I asked Grok what Secretary of State Marco Rubio had to say about the 2017 Unite the Right Rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, Grok responded with this:

Marco Rubio, the U.S. Senator from Florida, strongly condemned the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, in August 2017, describing it as involving white supremacists, Nazis, and the KKK. He characterized the violence—particularly the car attack that killed Heather Heyer—as a terror attack by white supremacists. His key public statements (primarily via Twitter at the time) included: On August 12, 2017 (as events unfolded and after President Trump’s initial “many sides” comment):

“Very important for the nation to hear @potus describe events in #Charlottesville for what they are, a terror attack by #whitesupremacists.”

He also stated: “Nothing patriotic about #Nazis, the #KKK or #WhiteSupremacists. It’s the direct opposite of what #America seeks to be.”

Following Trump’s later press conference (where Trump equated “both sides” and mentioned “fine people on both sides,” while clarifying he wasn’t referring to neo-Nazis/white supremacists), Rubio was more direct in criticism on August 15, 2017. In a thread, he wrote:

“Mr. President, you can’t allow #WhiteSupremacists to share only part of blame. They support idea which cost nation & world so much pain.”

He added that the movement is built on hatred that justifies violence, and emphasized: “No, not the same. One side is racist, bigoted, Nazi. The other opposes racism and bigotry. Morally different universes.”

He further stated the rally organizers were “100% to blame” for promoting an “evil ideology which argues certain people are inferior because of race.”

Now, maybe we can have Trumpism without Trump. I dearly hope we can. Maybe Vance and Rubio have turned over a new leaf and embraced Trump’s tacit pro-whiteness and will carry the torch once he’s gone. At this point, I have no choice but to give them the benefit of the doubt. But for me that will be trading in a known for an unknown—something I would like to put off for as long as possible because I refuse to take it for granted. In the meantime, I think we should put up with Trump regardless of what has been unflushed from the Epstein files. There has been a lot of justified talk on the Right lately about never allowing the Left to gain power in this country again. Trump seems to be committed to this, which is reason enough, in my mind, to forgive a lot.

My third reason is very simple. If Trump is indeed engaging in skullduggery to cover up parts of the Epstein files, then there are two possible reasons. One is that he himself is implicated in a crime serious enough to disqualify him from the presidency and perhaps invite arrest and prosecution. And two is that he wishes to keep secret some embarrassing and difficult-to-explain facts which would negatively impact his party’s chances in the next two elections. Given what I know about Trump, I’m going to roll the dice and plop for option two. Very few can rise to the level of the presidency while keeping his hands clean, and I am sure Trump is no different. Therefore, I simply do not want to hand the White House over to far-Left Democrats who will reopen the border, pack the Supreme Court, and vindictively prosecute Trump and his supporters simply because the Donald cheated on his wife with call girls or stiffed someone over a real estate deal in 2011.

And if it turns out that Trump is indeed covering up a serious crime then I will stand corrected.

Finally, my reason for happily supporting Trump is that my standards are happily low. Despite what the Founding Fathers may have envisioned for the United States, the multiracial conglomerate it has devolved into has become a democratic republican ethno-oligarchy. Such a system will naturally attract the venal, the narcissistic, the power hungry, and the psychopathic into positions of power. When people on the Right complain about this—as they should—I get the feeling they are harkening back to a time when the people had a wise, just, and powerful leader who loved them. Monarchy, essentially—or its modern equivalent, fascism. Now, there is nothing wrong with this, of course, except that it is tantamount to wringing water from a stone. It’s futile to ask, “Why can’t our elected officials be as moral as I am?” since in many, if not the majority, of cases their lack of morals is the reason they excel in politics to begin with. As we all know, if politicians were perfectly honest, no one would vote for them.

If you find our current system intolerable, it would make more sense not to change it but to adopt a new one. Either we bring back fascism—which has its own set of problems and may or may not be better than what he have now—or we establish a much more racially homogenic democratic republic along the lines of what the Founding Fathers envisioned. A white ethnostate, essentially. In such a case, the shady cabals controlling the politicians would likely have less divergent interests, which would result in a stabler and healthier society—and a lot less pedophilia. In the meantime however it is best to be realistic about the system we currently have. In such a system, the most effective leaders you’re most likely going to find are those with no standards at all. Thus, they can be easily controlled through their vices by vicious people like Jeffrey Epstein and the shadowy cabal that managed him.

Compared to these standards, Donald Trump comes out smelling like a rose.

    Brilliantly stated. Trump, even with all his flaws is the best we have at the moment. I have said since the ascendancy of Vance that he is not to be trusted. My personal belief is that he was originally supposed to be a democrat. Big money sensed a political shift and backed him as a republican. He’s Barack Obama in white face with a pajeet for a wife. I agree with Greg that Trump won’t finish his term, but I’m not looking forward to seeing Vance take over.

    I agree with the general thesis of the article.
    It is important to hammer this message before mid-term Congressional elections in order to not lose House and/or Senate and jeopardize the center-right agenda for two years before Presidential election in 2028.

    In addition to already mentioned gains
    “He has also made progress eliminating or downgrading such anti-white measures as refugee resettlement, diversity visas, DEI and affirmative action, birthright citizenship, temporary protected status, and disparate impact liability. Not only this, he has also purged wokeness from the US military, limited the Left’s ability to launder money through government waste, pushed back against transgenderism on multiple fronts, and severed the FBI’s ties to the Jewish supremacist Anti-Defamation League.”

    I would like to add some more
    – reestablishment of US borders security
    – end of uncontrolled influx of immigrants
    – withdrawal from 66 international organizations, including 35 non-United
    Nations (UN) organizations and 31 UN entities,
    – end of WHO membership
    – end of Paris Climate Agreement membership
    – end of USAID corruption
    – repeal of EPA Greenhouse Gas Regulations (Obama admin’s bogus science claims
    that introduced vehicle mandates, power plant restrictions, fuel standards,
    and assault on fossil fuels; resulted in higher energy costs ripple through
    everything from transportation, food, manufacturing, and housing)
    – end of electric vehicle (EV) adoption mandate of 50%

    Most of you could not even dream about gains like those two years ago !

    It’s like ya, he’s a Jew puppet.

    But this is clearly a pro-white puppet who’s actually very sympathetic to legacy Americans and to American Christians in a way that the Jews of American Jewish Supremacy never will be. So he’s doing their bidding yes, and it sucks (and we know the risks to him and to us if he tells them to piss off and/or exposes them for what they are and what they’re really about) but he’s also protecting and insulating us from it as much as he can. Ideal? No. Better than any President since the formation of Israel? Absolutely.

      “But this is clearly a pro-white puppet who’s actually very sympathetic to legacy Americans….”

      I am not so confident about the “clearly” part.  Here is Trump today on the passage of Jesse Jackson.

      “Despite the fact that I am falsely and consistently called a Racist by the Scoundrels and Lunatics on the Radical Left, Democrats ALL, it was always my pleasure to help Jesse along the way,” Trump continued.

      “I provided office space for him and his Rainbow Coalition, for years, in the Trump Building at 40 Wall Street; Responded to his request for help in getting CRIMINAL JUSTICE REFORM passed and signed, when no other President would even try; Single handedly pushed and passed long term funding for Historically Black Colleges & Universities (HBCUs), which Jesse loved, but also, which other Presidents would not do; Responded to Jesse’s support for Opportunity Zones, the single most successful economic development package yet approved for Black business men/women, and much more,” the president added.”

      Vintage, double-talking, Jew-owned Trump. At the end of his first term he pardoned black thug, Detroit mayor, Kwame Kilpatrick.

      “Kwame Kilpatrick, Detroit’s former mayor, engaged in widespread public corruption, including racketeering, bribery, extortion, and fraud, using his office to enrich himself, his family, and associates, leading to his conviction and a 28-year prison sentence, though his sentence was commuted by President Trump in 2021…”

        Point well taken, but he did say that Jackson hated Obama. Not sure that’s true because I vividly remember Jackson balling his eyes out the day Obama was elected. Maybe Jesse had a change of heart later into Obama’s reign of terror.

        Your point is well taken but to be clear Trump did not pardon Kwame he commuted a very long (excessive??) sentence that the former mayor was several years into. He’s still convicted and guilty of all that mess. I read that he became a Christian in jail. Again, Trump is sympathetic to Christians and Christianity.

    I am off the Hell-bound train.

    There are and must be taboos. There are and must be lines that should not be crossed. It is inconvenient (or worse) to punish the powerful or even to withdraw support from them when they cross the wrong lines but it must be done.

    Standards may be low (none of Donald Trump’s supporters ever thought he was perfect) but there must be some standards. The standard cannot he, “anything goes, as long as it seems more politically convenient than not.”

    President Donald John Trump has crossed a line that he should not have crossed and I will not give him even rhetorical support.

    President Trump despises, attacks, and politically destroys those who support him but not all the way to Hell. He does not tolerate people like Marjorie “Traitor” Greene.

    President Trump takes the side of those who have no moral or intellectual integrity, like Kash Patel and Pam Bondi. President Trump is a companion of warmongers like Senator Lindsey Graham. President Trump serves evil Jews, and the consequence may soon include a war of aggression against Iran.

    Most fundamentally, President Trump is on the side of radically depraved Jews against defenseless Whites, whom he was supposed to be the champion of but whom he has betrayed.

    This Epstein email is the morality of Team Trump.

      You may be correct. On the other hand you might also letting the perfect be the enemy of the good. Politics is a cesspool, I’m sure we can agree on that, and so we may need to adjust our expectations of what makes a good leader. Or not. The big question is whether Republicans acquiring moral standards as high as yours and thereby abandoning Trump over Epstein will make it easier for Democrats to regain the White House. I say it very well might. And I am prepared to spend a little time in Hell after I die if it means preventing Hell on Earth in the form of permanent Democrat one party rule in Washington.

      —


      Ooh! All this saber-rattling against faraway Iran by the self-described “Peace president” is scary. Iran is a large, powerful sovereign nation that poses no threat to the U.S. Trump should back away from his threats on behalf of Jewry and their shitty little nation.

      Here’s what the leader of Iran has to say about Trump’s threats:  Ayatollah Khamenei: ‘More dangerous than a US warship is the weapon capable of sinking it’

      “…As more American warships move toward the Persian Gulf, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, warned that those vessels represent greater danger to the United States than to Iran – because in the event of conflict, they would be sunk.

      Speaking to thousands of people from Tabriz ahead of the anniversary of the city’s historic 1978 uprising, the Leader characterized the U.S. President’s threatening statements as a clear expression of their intent to dominate the Iranian nation.

      He emphasized that, despite the threats of war, the Americans understand that, due to their political and economic challenges and the potential damage to their international reputation, they cannot sustain such rhetoric. He added, “They are aware of the consequences they would face if they make a mistake”.

      Ayatollah Khamenei, responding to the U.S. President’s repeated boasts about commanding the world’s strongest military, said that sheer power does not guarantee victory. “Even the strongest military force can be struck so hard that it cannot rise again”, he emphasized…”

        A Zionist Occupation Government regime change war on Iran will make a lot of big problems seem small. (Not non-White mass immigration into White countries. That remains fundamental.)

        A war on Iran has nothing to do with what is good for Whites in America. It is all about the aggressive nature of the Jewish state, Israel. America will be fighting for Jewish domination over non-Jews.

        This is because the Jews rule over our fake-elites, the “best” people who are actually very far from being “the best” or even being good.

        The Epstein files show us by what filthy means the seduction and the corruption of our fake-elites is accomplished, and how very far from being “the best” or even good our fake-elites are.

        It’s frustrating. It’s disgusting. It’s humiliating. I am on the same page with Angry woman.

          Our true elites are few and far between, Joe: only those of us who put the interests of the White race above all else.  “Fake elites” include nearly everyone else: politicians, churchmen, academics, media and corporate personalities; Hollywood, TV and sports celebrities.

          Have I left anyone out? Of course I have: every White who lacks the backbone to name the Jew and put the interests and preservation of his own race first.

          I will always like how Dr. Pierce described elites, even 26 years ago at the tail rnf of the Jewish administration under Bill Clinton, like here; “Elites vs. Masses” at nationalvnguard.org by Dr. William L. Pierce

          ONE OF THE most profoundly depressing experiences an American can subject himself to these days is watching the various presidential candidates campaigning on his television screen. My god, what a sorry spectacle! Bush and McCain, Gore and Bradley: these are the “leaders” approved for us by the media masters. These are the men they have said it’s OK for us to vote for, the ones they have checked out and decided are safe. And every one of these approved candidates is a man who would be marched straight to the gallows and hanged on the first day of any general cleanup of America: every one of them. There is not an honest man or a patriot among them, not one who will stand up to the media bosses or even wants to stand up to them…

          In America, all of the major-party candidates have been approved. What a depressing thought! … we have an approved conservative, a kosher conservative, in the person of George W. Bush, Jr., and three approved liberals, in the persons of John McCain, Al Gore, and Bill Bradley. What a choice!

          To me the most depressing aspect of this situation is the way in which the American people have adapted to it. Now, it’s true that in the last presidential election, in 1996, a majority — 51 per cent — of the eligible voters voted, in effect, for “none of the above,” by choosing not to vote. I suppose that I ought to consider that a good sign, but, really, when the choice was between Bill Clinton and Viagra poster boy Bob Dole, who throughout his political life was a disgustingly subservient flunky of the Jews, like John McCain is today, you can hardly blame people for not bothering to go to the polls. What I’m afraid of is that the percentage of the electorate voting this year will bounce back up from its low point of 49 per cent in 1996. In other words, most Americans — or at least, more than half of them — still take the charade seriously. That’s a shame, but not really surprising.

          I always take what I see on the television screen with a grain of salt, but despite the spin applied to the news by the media bosses, there’s usually some truth in what they show us. When they show us a sampling of public opinion, a series of little sidewalk interviews, they certainly are able to slant the impression they give us of public opinion by choosing in the editing room which interviews to keep and which to discard, but for the most part the people we see being interviewed after the editing is done are real people. Unlike the anchor person or the interviewer, they aren’t paid actors. And so we must believe that there really are such idiots in our population: a lot of such idiots, in fact.

          I’m using the word “idiot” loosely here, of course. Most interviewees aren’t really stupid; they’re just lemmings. They say what they believe is expected of them, what they believe other people would say in their place. Which is why these sidewalk interviews are such a useful tool for the media bosses. The lemmings who are watching the interviews on their screens take their cue from the lemmings who are being interviewed, and so any spin put on these interviews has a real effect on public opinion.

          That doesn’t really provide a complete explanation of the disaster which has befallen us, however. Lemminghood, I believe, is a hereditary condition. That is, one is either born a lemming or not, and not much can be done to change the condition after birth. But there are other elements of our society who aren’t lemmings, but who nevertheless have contributed to the disaster. I was talking with a secret-police agent last week, a man I’ve spoken with on several occasions in the past. He’s retiring now, after 32 years with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and so he shouldn’t be under an obligation any longer to avoid saying anything Politically Incorrect. He’s an intelligent man and not unlike many others in his line of work, I believe. I asked him again last week a question I’ve asked him on several occasions in the past: How can he justify working for Bill Clinton? Doesn’t he at least have some misgivings working for a government headed by Bill Clinton?

          Well, I got the same answer I’ve gotten from him before. He’s not working for Bill Clinton, he told me, or for Janet Reno. He’s working to uphold the Constitution, he said. He believes in the system we have, he told me. He believes the system still works. And he said that with a straight face, as if he really believed it. And I think that in some sense of the word, at some level, he does believe it. I don’t think he’s like the lemming, who foolishly and enthusiastically jumps aboard every trend which comes along. He simply avoids coming to inconvenient or uncomfortable conclusions. And there’s probably a bit of authoritarianism mixed in there, as is the case with many career cops and military people: a tendency to assume that might is right.

          I think that we see the same sort of mentality at work when military officers support Clinton administration policies on homosexuals and on women in combat. In the past they were unanimously opposed to these policies. But then the Jews demand that homosexuals be accepted in the military and that women be permitted to be on submarine crews, and the political appointees in the Pentagon scramble to issue new regulations in line with these demands, and the career military people begin readjusting their thinking to bring it into line. I think that they really justify to themselves their changed views on these matters. Not one in a hundred will do the honorable thing and resign in protest…

          Read the rest of this wisdom at the link and compare with presidential politics today.

    “Under Trump’s watch, the Epstein files were released—which is more than what we can say about his predecessor Joe Biden. The most recent dump occurred after the above-linked essays were published. So despite everything Trump deserves credit for that. Without him, the Epstein files would never have seen the light of day.”

    Trump doesn’t get any credit for releasing the files, since he is only doing it under duress of Congress.

      Would it be fair to say that because Trump campaigned, albeit half heartedly, on releasing the files, the files never would have seen the light of day without him? I think he deserves some credit for that even though you are correct that Congress has been holding his cold feet to the fire.

        He campaigned on releasing them, reneged, then was forced to release them. I don’t think we can therefore say that “We owe their release” to Trump in any way that merits thanks and gives him credit.

    My biggest concern is that Trump and other similar populist politicians will not have any lasting effect because they are unable and unwilling to change a) constitutional and legal conditions, b) the property structure of society, and c) radically transform institutions (mainstream media, the judiciary, universities). Liberal elites are already counting on the fact that “populists” will be only a temporary phenomenon, which they will exhaust and “wait out.”

    Thank you for the reminder of all the good Trump has done and how much worse the alternative would have been.

    2. Interesting to see Rubio change his frame on White identity from 2017 to 2026. Then, he seemingly implied that anything pro-White was evil. Now, he cherishes our Western heritage.

      The changing of outdated mentalities is glacier-slow. It’s a shame that so many Whites have been so complacent at understanding what is at stake here. Too happy-go-lucky to survive?

    One of our major hopes for Trump’s second term was that he pardon the January 6ers, and didn’t he do that?  Let’s not forget the things he has already done for us.

    “It could always be worse” is depressing.

    I’m tired of merely surviving in this dysfunctional nation crumbling under the weight of its own hubris.

    We shouldn’t have to live like this. Upheaval every 4 years based on whims, manipulation and marketing.  We work too damn hard. We should expect and demand better. Our families need and deserve it.

    I  can’t take it anymore – surely there exists (remains) a place for our people with long term stability somewhere?

      I feel for you. The only solutions that I can see are multiracial fascism (not desirable) or an 85-90% ethnically white democratic constitutional republic as envisioned by the FF.

      Until we get either I think we should manage our expectations and celebrate successes when we have them.

      Hi Sesto. Thanks for commenting.

      Have you spent any time with Trump? I haven’t either. But it is possible that a person who can make you feel awful in his presence can at the same time improve the overall position of whites. I believe Trump has done this despite his flaws. Yes he could do more, and his record is far from perfect. But on the whole we are in a better place with him than without him.

      Also, I don’t shill. Thanks.

        The ethnic billionaires can stick up for Trump. The US Empire may face severe costs in another Near Eastern war at time when debt levels are already very high.

        If DT pulled a fast one and eliminated the military supplies of the nation beloved by the ethnic billionaires at the centre of much attention, I would stick up for him then.  I think a lot of people would like to feel like they weren’t fooled again.

    I was born during the Nixon years. Of course, I don’t remember his presidency, but I remember his later life as an elder statesman. I think that Nixon’s presidency ended whatever was left of the “two party” American system. Ford was a likable placeholder who filled a role while a course correction was made post-Watergate to only allow “approved” candidates going forward. Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush and finally Obama, all serving the role that was laid out for them, even if they didn’t know it themselves.

     

    Trump may have been pressured into compliance, but I don’t think he started out that way, and I promise you that he wasn’t the “approved” candidate. The system has fought tooth and nail to reel him in.

     

    This is why the political dissidents who supported Trump are so angry. This is why they respond so negatively to everything he does now. They feel jilted.
