President Trump Has Already Won
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
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.” And no one with the slightest acquaintance with American history or jurisprudence could conclude that whatever Mr. Trump did with or about these women (no coercion of or contemporary payments to the women are alleged), it amounts to the “high crimes and misdemeanors” stipulated by the Constitution for removal from office of a president. The point is that Trump has actually raised his game appreciably as a president and his enemies have descended to a nether region of depravity and imbecility that he never, even in the least edifying moments of his astonishing career, came close to excavating: Not Trump University, not some of the unfortunate properties bearing the Trump name, not Trump’s health plan (what he called “cutting edge health and wellness formulas . . . to achieve the American dream,” but was in fact $1,080 for twelve bottles of vitamins and two urinalyses per year) — it was never more or less than ludicrous hucksterism straining the ambit of the phrase caveat emptor.
In assaulting him, the political elite has abased itself. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama and their chief collaborators invented the Russian canard, dispatched the intelligence services and Justice Department, including the FBI, to put meat on the bones of this fraud, tried to legitimize the monstrous malicious fabrications and defamations of the Steele dossier, and are now trying to maintain their threadbare credibility by inciting their congressional and media lackies to amplify completely pedestrian tales of sexual dalliances. Even these facts are contested and unprovable, and in any case unexceptionable, and no one’s business but the Trumps’, and POTUS and FLOTUS have obviously sorted it out between themselves. There isn’t even a vivid image to play to the prurient howling mobs, such as Bill Clinton being fellated by an intern in the Oval Office while smoking a Freudian cigar and conducting official business on the telephone. (There was nothing illegal about that either, but it wasn’t an image builder in Norman Rockwell’s America.)
A clear indication that the Washington political elite has lost its collective mind was furnished on Tuesday when federal district judge Emmet Sullivan implied General Michael Flynn had committed treason by being an undeclared agent of a NATO ally (albeit a wayward ally — Turkey), an offense he apparently committed but which has not been officially charged. The other headliner was fired FBI director Jim Comey claiming memory loss regarding the events of two years ago 245 times before the House Judiciary Committee, denying any responsibility for the public-relations problems of the Bureau, disputing that his political biases influenced his performance in office, and telling a New York audience that the future of the country depended on throwing Trump out of office in 2020. J. Edgar Hoover, “the nation turns its lonely eyes to you.”
All of these attacks — on the Trump charities, the Trump inauguration committee, and by the two angry (and greedy) women — is piffle. The president can’t lose this match politically, and as his opponents have descended beneath him, he has already won morally.

Two peanut's went to the White House, one was a salted...
Then that peanut filed a complaint but the Presidents supporters bitterly gnashed their teeth at her. Then 19 other peanuts filed complaints but the Trump supporters would not be dissuaded...
We are just learning tens of millions disappeared from Trump's inauguration.
Trumps can't shield themselves being charged or convicted on state charges.
Every investigation of Trump (federally) has been initiated or pursued by his own Department of Justice. The fact that you are trying to Blame Hillary or Obama is hilarious and more than a little pitiful.
I think what the headline meant to say was:
President Trump Has Already One... One IQ point... That is all...
[deleted]
Yrump has a higher IQ than that of all of his congressional democrat opposition combined. Schumer and Pelosi havce negative numbers of personal IQ
Trump is dumber than a sack full of hammers. He is over 70 years old and still looked at a solar eclipse without protection...he is a MORON. Christ, he makes GWB look smart.
what the hell do you have against hammers ...?
He makes Palin look like a Rhode's scholar instead of a road scorer.
Trump has won the eternal enmity of just about everyone by now. Don't you think?
No but the higher your enmity for him is, the better of a job he’s doing for us.
Who is us? Russia? China, N. Korea? Couple if Flynn's boys just got busted for illegal lobbing for Turkey. So which "us" is your "us" or do you know?
Us is Heartland America, the American people who elected him as our President instead of that evil witch Hillary.
[Deleted] You don't seem to like this country or most of the people who inhabit it, and seem eager to drop this once great country to 3rd world status as fast as you can help it to.
Just because you use "Heartland American" as a handle, certainly doesn't make you a patriot, part of the Heartland or even a citizen of the U.S., and you sure like to put out the most divisive articles you can find.
I am an American patriot nationalist from Heartland America. I was born in the USA 🇺🇸 and I’m proud to be an American. I am America!
Sorry, I disagree wholeheartedly.
Disagree with what? You weren’t born in the USA? You are not proud to be an American? You are not America? Or are you saying that I’m not a patriotic American? Just curious.
Oh, that hotel thing? Ended ages ago, way before I was president....
Ok, even if I did, nothing there, fake news...
Oh THAT letter of intent!
Except for, Popadopolis, Manafort, Stone, and General Flynn...Oh! And my son.
And so, so, so much more that he has been proven to lie about. The list goes on and on.....and one by one each of his associates have confessed, found guilty, under indictment, turning states evidence. Each time he lies they find the proof and he deflects.
I don't even have time right now to go through his lies that his droolers defend.
Tell him what he's won Johnny!
Welllllll...it's an all expenses paid trip to...Lllllevenworth Kansas!
President Trump Has Already Won
Perhaps in bizzaro world, at this juncture it would seem any wins will be in the long term, as in a prison term. This circus is just about over, unfortunately not soon enough.
That might be the funniest paragraph I've seen in print all year. I didn't even bother to read the rest of the seeded nonsense after I saw that.
Trump is a good American President and we who support him will not be dissuaded from our support by anything you have to say. In fact, the more you say the stronger our double down in our support of him will grow. Great job Mr. President!
Trump is a "Good American President" like Mark Callaway was an actual Undertaker, and interestingly they share the same fan base.
So, the more facts you are provided with, the harder you will cling to willful ignorance. That's probably not something you should be bragging about.
I’m simply saying that the part of the article that John quoted above is exactly right on and correct.
Americans did not know 'what they were getting' with the Trump. Nobody knew. Nobody knows the Trump.
My observation is this. The recent revelations concerning Syria--and other things--are the clearest indication of what was discussed behind closed doors in Helsinki.
We knew we weren’t getting Hillary and for some that’s reason enough to vote for Trump.
'Closed doors--secret meeting in Helsinki.' This is what that is all about.
America did not get Hillary because Putin feared her. And Putin knew that the Trump was a putz---a cowardly, egotistical, malleable, ignorant putz. Besides, Russian oligarch money has the Trump by the 'nads.'
Trump did not win. The Russians got into the vote in key/select areas.
None the less. The FSB appreciates the support.
who allows igknorantz to rulz
.
was wondering if Flynns recently indicted business partners had anything to do with this as well
.
so many people have dirt on thi dirt bag...
he has been compromised
and
in so many positions by so many enemies
In Trump/World they're all enemies with each other. Except the gay ones of course.
As we all know, there is no evidence of the Russians changing a single vote in a single precinct in any state in the country.
