Trump's Re-election 2020

E. Ablorh-Odjidja

July 18, 2020

 

In November 2020, Trump will be running for re-election. He is the incumbent, but somehow, will run as an outsider.  And he will win.

 

The victory will be by wit or circumstance; or a combination of both.  So far, circumstance seems to be the deciding factor.

 

Same circumstance made Trump the outsider, running against the insiders of Washington, the establishment, in 2016.

 

The so-called establishment didn’t want Trump before 2016 and never has accepted him since he became the president of the United States.  Hard to explain this refusal by self-assumed good citizens who profess to stand by the constitution.

 

The fundamental understanding of the US constitution is that when a candidate legitimately wins the US presidency, he is allowed a four-year term to rule.

 

It takes an overly vile personality to profess loyalty to the constitution, while still not observing this simple requirement pertaining to presidential elections.  And then to seek to remove the elected from office by extra judiciary means.

 

But such is the nature of the men of the establishment, the resistance, the self-assumed men of civic valor and intelligence.  These are the Trump nemeses.

 

They seek and have tried to remove Trump, the constitutionally legitimate president. 

 

They are the establishment.  Senator Mitt Romney and the RINO gang at the Lincoln Project form the Republican wing; an infinitesimal minority that has no credibility within the party’s rank and file.

 

George Conway, member of the Lincoln gang and a rabid anti-Trumper.  Married to Kallyann Conway, Counselor to the President and iconic campaign manager for Trump in 2016. 

 

You would think George should allow his marriage to mellow his hatred for Trump, or support his highly successful wife in silence.  But Conway is willing to undercut the prestige of his own wife in order to get Trump!

 

So, how successful an American president has Trump been so far?

 

Not engaging in stupid wars and having orchestrated a buoyant economy for the past three years are good places to start.  

 

Defeating ISIS in a matter of weeks and signing the USMC trade agreement (with Mexico and Canada), all within three years, should have earned Trump some kudos.

 

Returning American manufacturing to America, when it was said it couldn’t be done.  

 

Yet, Trump gets no credit from the establishment.  

 

Such is the entrenched, unforgiving and unnatural political rancor that the men of the resistance hold for Trump that it forces one to look at them again.

 

In them, we see an unsurmountable amount of personal ambition, an astounding neglect of their own character flaws and personal distaste for Trump.

 

The condition forces them to remain silent even when real crimes are committed against the interest of the US.

 

Their silence on the corrupt trial of General Flynn, who was railroaded by FBI officials to plead guilty to a crime he didn't commit, should shock the conscience of the average man.  Not the establishment.

 

Flynn's real crime was that he served briefly as Trump’s chief security advisor.  For that, he became a victim of the Russia Collusion inquisition.  

 

Secret documents, long held by the FBI, show that Flynn was set up by some within that agency.

 

As result, the Justice Department has decided to stop Flynn's prosecution and is now asking the court to drop the case because it was not conducted in good faith from start.

 

Honest men do respond promptly to such request.  But not the men of the establishment and the Lincoln Project, otherwise known as the resistance.  

 

They promptly found a champion in Judge Emmet Sullivan, the Federal judge handling Flynn's case.  

 

Judge Emmett Sullivan has decided on his own not to set Flynn free and “is now arguing that the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals erred when it ordered him to do so last month in a 2-1 ruling,” reports Fox News.

 

Here, Judge Sullivan, now self-appointed prosecutor, is sitting on a case that is no longer within his legal purview and is ignoring the Justice Department and Flynn lawyer’s rightful arguments for case dismissal.  

 

Rather than freeing a framed man, Judge Sullivan wants him in jail for a guilty plea that was extorted from him.  

 

Nothing this repugnant, not even twice the amount, can explain clearly the willingness to destroy Trump than this willfulness to turn justice on its head!

 

Judge Sullivan’s motivation is not legal nor constitutional.  But the resistance sides with him.

 

Senator Romney, Representative Schiff, Leader Pelosi, failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and the gang in the Lincoln Project will insist that Flynn is as guilty as Trump is in all things, even when they know he is not.

 

That the FISA Court was abused to get Trump.  That the “Russia Collusion” was a hoax.  That a flimsy allegation like “Ukrainian Quid Pro Quo” could not rise to the high-crime, constitutionally needed level to begin an impeachment trial of a dully elected US president.

 

All instances proven in Trump's favor, the malicious resistance insists that he is wrong, as always.

 

Could any man (Trump included), be this extensively wrong on all issues, for three years plus?

 

Trump the racist, ignorant, averse to learning, immune to science and common sense, would cause a sudden disaster to the world order, was the cry at the start.  But this ominous forecast is yet to happen.  

However, as all things in time do, the obvious is beginning to show - a hole so full of hubris in the nature of the resistance men of presumed integrity.  

 

In their efforts to get Trump, they have also managed to show a disdain for the office of the US presidency itself (Pelosi tearing up papers of the Presidential Address in full view of Congress and the world).  

 

Sad irony is, this is the same presidential office that they so strongly covet and supposedly wanted to protect from Trump.

 

As they fight Trump, they have managed to strip off some of the magic from the US presidency.  A case in point is the partisan opposition to how Trump is handling the COVID-19 case.  The virus is now Trump’s fault.

 

Why?  And again, "Trump is not listening to science" is the answer.

 

Science for the resistance is now static; an absolute subject, closed, settled and never to be opened to speculation.  All that is needed to be known about the new virus is already known.  And of course, the monopoly on that knowledge belongs to them but Trump would not ask for help.

 

At the same time, wherever Trump stood on the science spectrum, the resistance is against that position too.

 

Now, what a way to arrive at scientific truth!

 

The pretentiousness of these men is allowing unprecedented disruptions in science and culture; a matter that will make them soon open for judgement of history.

 

But I will make my observation now.  Trump will win in 2020.  However, should these men of the establishment win, America, as we know it now, is finished.
