August 17, 2018:
We did not know enough about Donald Trump during the primaries to make a wise decision. We knew the celebrity and that was it....he builds big gold and marble ornamented towers in New York City.....he owned a lot of gambling casinos.....he had a couple of beautiful and glamorous wives.....he likes to brag about himself.....and he had a very popular reality show on television for many years. We hadn't spent the last few decades watching Oprah....reading supermarket tabloids....or going to sleep with late night television on at the foot of bed.....so how were we supposed to know who this man has been his whole life? It's humbling today in that Progressives....who can't put more than two sentences together without abandoning logic or common sense.....know more about Donald Trump than we do!
Conservative talk radio had us mustered....trained....and ready for battle....but Ted Cruz....(who I supported)....and the other Republican candidates....just seemed to be sitting there waiting for orders....so the orders finally came.....'Go Home....you're putting us to sleep!' Donald Trump meanwhile rushed to the front of the regiments......riding up and down the lines....waving his sword.....and once again you could not hold us back. He yelled...."Charge!".....and the rest was history.
The Progressives led by Hillary were bringing it on but we.....led by our captains of horse....conservative talk radio....went right through their lines like a hot knife through butter. The battle was won and winter was setting in so both sides retreated. There had been plenty of biographies out there on Donald Trump during the primaries but they were typical celebrity bios and we didn't have time to read anything anyway. Candidate Trump was erratic but this was chalked up to the fog of war....but it never subsided after the big win. After he brought Ivanka the Terrible and her consort Jared into the Oval Office it was finally time to do that reading....but the snows thawed early and we were engaged once again as the Progressives mounted a new offensive led by late night talk show hosts....SNL and CNN.
Our captains of horse were diverted by a new threat.....a special counsel looking into Russia's involvement in Donald Trump's victory. They charged again....only this time it wasn't against Hillary.....someone that they knew.....but something that they were unfamiliar with.....why in the world would Putin want Donald Trump as our President? This was my original question also....but the new books began to come out.....in-depth studies on who Donald Trump really was.....and what his relationship with Russia had been for the past four decades. I read the books.....a lot of them....apparently conservative radio talk show hosts had not the time nor inclination to do so.
We knew that Donald Trump was a bit racy but didn't know that he was raunchy. We had an idea on the art of the deal but no idea on just how soulless that art can be. The clues were there that he was mean and vengeful but we passed on them. We knew that Donald Trump lost a lot of his fortune at one time.... and also knew that he built it back up....but had absolutely no idea that post-Soviet Russian money played a part in that. We didn't know these details.
Donald Trump had purposely and effectively turned us against any information from anyone outside of his control. Our captains of horse were sent into hand-to-hand combat just to keep them out of the way....and that is where we are at today. Folks....we need to read....our captains of horse need to read....that used to be our forte!
Two highly recommended books on the issue of Russia are:
Trump/Russia...A Definitive History....by Seth Hettena....and
House Of Trump...House of Putin....by Craig Unger
Note: House Of Trump...House Of Putin is #5 in its first week on the NYT best seller list!
