Trump has a mesmerizing effect on some segments of the
population, and at his “rallies” he exploits this to the hilt. He loves to hear
them chant “Trump, Trump, Trump” as he whips them into a frenzy. However, sadly,
Trump could care less about these people. They are just “puppets and props”-a
means to an end for him.
Trump started out with many friends and associates. He heaped praise on them at every turn. Many of
these friends and associates have dropped off, one-by-one.
Jeff Sessions was
among the first of the well-known Congresspersons to publicly support Trump at
the onset of his campaign. He helped Trump win the election and became Trump’s
Attorney General.
After honorably
recusing himself from the Mueller Investigation due to perceived “conflicts of
interest”, Mr. Sessions has been routinely and publicly humiliated by Trump,
who was not satisfied with his recusal.
It is known that
Trump wanted Sessions to stay active in the Mueller Investigation to basically
“protect” him from Mueller. After his recusal, Trump continually tried to
humiliate Sessions into “quitting” as AG, but Sessions, rightfully, didn’t
quit.
Trump courted Tennessee Senator, Bob Corker as a possible
candidate for a job in his Administration. Now Corker is one of his worse
enemies.
Michael Cohen was Trump’s trusted “fixer” and “personal” attorney
who once said he “would take a bullet” for Trump. Now they don’t even talk to
each other nor refer to each other in the “glowing” terms of the past. With
Trump, one day you’re a friend and confidante, the next day you’re the worse
person on earth.
Donald Trump uses you, sometimes abuses you-then he dumps
you. That’s the Trump way. He apparently feels that the only entity that he has
to show any allegiance to is his so-called “base”. He understands that it is his
“base” that makes him “viable” and keeps him in the political game as a leader
with political “clout”.
Trump rules as it he has a mandate from the people. However,
it should be remembered that Trump never earned
a “mandate” from the people. Hillary Clinton garnered about 3 million more
popular votes than he did. Had it not
been for the outdated Electoral College, Ms. Clinton would have been our
president. However, even with the Electoral College in play, other factors,
like Comey, WikiLeaks, and Russia, may well have tipped the scale in Trump’s
direction. We can never quantify what influence these factors had on the
election, but given the questionable nature of his win, Trump should be “walking on eggshells” right now so he
doesn’t offend the people who did not vote for him-the majority of Americans! However,
Trump doesn’t care about that. He is determined to play this presidency thing,
the Trump way, for all it’s worth.
As a master manipulator and showman of excellence, Trump
will pull any lever he can to reach his own selfish ends. He has convinced his
base that they have been historically wronged
and he is their “once-in-a-lifetime” benevolent
savior. They are committed to following him wherever he leads them.
Many Trump followers
can’t articulate his foreign or domestic agenda, but they will tell you that he
has a plan and a strategy, and when
he initiates them, the world will understand
their faith in him. They trust in him, and no outsider can change that.
However, for others, no tax break, or agenda, or any other Trump perk, is worth
giving up their traditional American values for. We’re beginning to see that at the ballot
boxes across the nation where citizens appear to be pushing back on the Trump platform.
There are many indications that that will continue. Let’s hope so! See
you at the ballot box!
