President Trump Has Already Won

The attacks on him are piffle.

As the year ends, the Trump legal drama winds down towards its tawdry end. The immense fraudulent fantasy of a Benedict Arnold on steroids collaborating with a foreign enemy, a Manchurian Candidate “groomed for the presidency by his Russian controllers,” has come down to a squalid dispute between the president, his crooked former lawyer, and the publisher of the National Enquirer over the nature of incentivizing the pre-electoral silence of a porn star and a former Playboy bunny.

The slab-faced, trim and grim Robert Mueller, closing in like a heat-seeking missile on the start of the third year of the most ineffective and redundant investigation in history, could be a brilliant straight man, desperately serious and purposeful as he silently marches across our television screens every night in reruns of the same old news film in the elaborate pretense that he is doing something useful and important. It is the same pattern as the Clinton investigation, which began with the financial improprieties of Whitewater and meandered around to checking the president’s semen against a White House intern’s carefully preserved dress. The lust to tear down a president leads ostensibly serious and responsible people to act contemptibly, and ultimately to become absurd.

Many of the president’s enemies do not, cannot possibly, realize what is happening to them. It was well known long before he became president of the United States that Donald Trump was, by traditional standards, a somewhat déclassé character. As an impresario, he had sheared the hair off Vince McMahon, founder of World Wrestling Entertainment, before 90,000 people at the Pontiac Silverdome (but has compensated by making the temporarily glabrous McMahon’s wife the administrator of the Small Business Administration). His divorces and courtships prior to his relationship with Melania Trump were massively and often rather tastelessly publicized, and his entire public personality intentionally offends half the people, while amusing or pleasing the other half by his irreverence and disdain for the pompous, the indecisive, and the mealy-mouthed categories that enfold the majority of politicians. As president, Donald Trump has considerably moderated his formerly outlandish behavior. He often looks and sounds more like a president than George W. Bush referring to the country of “eye-rack” (Iraq), President Carter sitting in a cardigan beside a roaring fire in the White House fireplace telling the country to turn down its thermostats in the “national malaise” speech, some of the antics of Lyndon Johnson, or even Gerald Ford falling down the steps of Air Force One.

The country knew what it was getting with Donald Trump; the fact that he affronted scores of millions of Americans pleased a numerous enough mass of other Americans to elect him. His enemies attacked savagely, invented the Russian-collusion nonsense, have been forced off that ledge, and are now scruffing around in the gutter with this bunk about paying off indiscreet female claimants of former intimacy. It is very hard to make a serious claim that the payments to them were campaign contributions, or that anyone but Trump ultimately paid the money, but impossible to take the word of Michael Cohen and the publisher of the National Enquirer, David Pecker, over that of the president to an extent that meets the required threshold of being “beyond a reasonable doubt.”

Thank you for your incoherent babble.
holy Maccarony,Librul sure ain't very Librul!laugh
Might be him who needs to lay off that Collectivist Brew the Dimmocrats so freely distribute!
I'd say the same thing C.
The only thing that is "incoherent" is the wave of Right wing lies that you extremist choose to believe! I'm a decorated Vietnam Veteran! I volunteered to join the Army and put my life on the line when coward Trump was buying deferments with hid daddy's money and refusing to serve! If you can support a Traitor like Trump you are Traitors too!
It is rather funny how all the extreme right-wingers are downplaying the current investigations as non-consequential or better yet some left-wing plot to avenge some misdeed they think happened. They think that it will just fade away as time moves on because it is in there reality nothing of substance. The actual facts do point to a conclusion that gets more and more serious every day. With indictments and the discovery of more misdeeds, the day the real hammer falls is not that far off. I can only speculate as to how they will justify their position, perhaps with " alternate facts " and the usual cry of " fake news ".

History is loaded with the disbelief of dictators and despots ignoring all the signs of impending doom until it all comes crashing down on their head. All their cronies do likewise.
My question would be is "What does any political figure win from the Dems to the Repubs??
Bill, he won since day one. He won before he even campaigned. cheering
Yes, Donald won the election before the election. Vladimir Putin made sure of it. Not to mention his public cry for help to the Russians. Doesn't this strike you as a bit traitorous? Absurdity and corruption is the name of the game. And don't label me as left wing or any wing. To do so only shows ignorance of real facts and labels only show how much blinders run your life. Labels are for those who cannot think on their own.
