Sundance over at CTH has said many times that the election of Trump put trillions at stake (see my headline.)
Read this article by the Federalist, and really think about the underlying baseline assumptions that the writer is discussing. That funding bill is 1 and a quarter trillion dollars. The GOP establishment and the Democrats are striking their usual sort of deal, and all of us will have to pay for.
If you ever wondered why the entire D.C. establishment conspired against Trump from the moment he descended the escalator, there is your motivation, spelled out in this article for all to see. Trump was an outsider, and threatened to overturn this apple cart of comfortable sinecures.
Unfortunately, Trump has thus far proven unworthy of this moment in history, but even so, he is still the only hope we currently have.
There are certainly worse options than Donald Trump to be at this moment. Borris Johnson comes to mind. Our grand parents failed to have men ready for this moment, this is why Trump is what we got.
Raise your kids right: with high integrity, industriousness, and tenacity. You never know when the world will call them to action.
There needs to be institution building. If Trump were better, the GOP would have simply thrown the 2016 election to keep him out. He was allowed the nomination and the win because he wasn't the threat to the system that the hysterical media made him out to be. The bigger the office, the more institutional support there needs to be to win it and do anything of value with it. The institutional support necessary to support the Presidency isn't there yet.
I disagree. It appears that he was a bigger threat than they assumed he would be, because he kept hitting specific targets that the right was already attempting to lose on. The level of subversion that kept needing to happen at all levels is pretty shocking. You had the military hiding troop deployments, the SecDef installing a coup, the DOJ head undermining him and allowing for the assassination of Epstein, and betrayals really across the board.
If he was just useless, they wouldn't have been fighting. If anything, it would have been a repeat of the TEA Party: purchased as controlled opposition, and then "moderate" and "electable" politicians placed in all the ground level victories. They're desperately trying that right now.
No disagreements here.
Trump signed an omnibus, too.
What you seeing now is the "bust-out" of the United States while the mafia loots as much as they can. Then they will either start Civil War II or WW III and flee to New Zealand or bunkers while the country burns.
