This is not a post to bash Trump. Sorry if its long. I appreciate all he has done/tried to do the last 4+ years. He kept taking punch after punch. He was a real leader who put America First (like a POTUS should), but now is the time for reflecting.
What happened? We know media BS for years helped brainwash many. We know the virus was sent here either on purpose or used politically once it got here (don't know why Trump wouldn't just tell us this, he has to know, right?)
How easy people forget the great 3 years our Country was having under Trump. It seemed like everyone was doing better and had a more positive outlook. Then the virus stuff happened. It scared people. People want "normalcy" back. They forger all else. Just want "normal" back. Then add in what seem liked organized BLM/Antifa riots to further divide people and push more media narratives. Biden had nothing to run, even in Dem primary, before the virus.
Was the election stolen or not? Even today Trump didn't mention it. Where was the big evidence Rudy was going to drop after the holidays? Sidney Powell? Why did Dan Scavino continuously use odd symbolisms on twitter, etc and then nothing happened. No audits. Nothing. Its one thing to have hope, but when people you think are "in the know" continuously give what turns out to be false hope, it is demoralizing.
For 3 years we heard Hannity, John Soloman, Sarah Carter talk about their sources and information that would shock the conscious of America regarding spy gate. Where is that information? Will it ever come out or just fade away now?
Where are Clinton emails Pompeo said would be released before Trump/Biden election? Nothing.
Why didn't Trump enact voter ID from the start first day in the oval office?
Nunes, Jordan, Gaetz....all talk no action?
Where are all the declassifications? I swear we heard Trump declassified the same thing like 4 different times in the last year and we never see it. Why didn't he declassify EVERYTHING? 9/11. Spy gate? Benghazi? CHINA VIRUS? Vegas shooting, etc.
Why did he seemingly quit pushing forward out of nowhere? So many questions. I just don't see how it ends like it did today. So much smoke at every turn that last 4+ years for there not to be more behind the scenes that actually went on.
Why did he even call people to DC on the 6th? The speech he gave was no different than normal. No new evidence was dropped. It was actually one of his worst speeches imho. He was late, rambled from point to point. That entire day just didn't make sense.
Is Durham still a thing or no?
Was more supposed to happen and for some reason it didn't? I would like answers. I am sure we will never get them, but still. Just such a weird empty feeling now. Like having the football at the 1 yard line and running into the lockeroom to get on the bus.
It just seemed like Trump took every punch from them and it worked out each time. I expected more in the end and to have something major go Trump's way because there was just too much corruption out in the open that he was against for it not to be made public.
I guess in the end, a virus and media manipulation really did him in. It also didn't help that he surrounded himself with GOP swamp instead of bringing in Trump loyalists from the beginning. Regardless I still am having a hard time processing how the last few months played out. It doesn't add up knowing what we know about Trump.
The last 4+ years went so fast. I feel like I just watched the first GOP debate in 2015 with Megyn Kelly moderating. It went fast, but when you look back you think, wow that was actually long ago already. Just feel like I have been living in a washing machine or something.
I feel badly how 3 great years are basically forgotten and how media never gave him a fair chance. They want to talk about legacy. They never would have given him a positive legacy. They are 90% reason why so many hate Trump, but don't really know why they hate him.
I don't know if Trump continues to stay in hiding now or what. Even if he comes back out, I don't know if his support will even be like it was. He had so many Dems voting Red. He had so many people that never voted before. Regardless, I thank President Trump for his hard work and dedication the last few years and wish he had more people working with him/for him that wanted the same for America that he did.
What is sad is that so much more good that could have happened under Trump if Congress would have worked with him, media gave him a chance, and the China virus never came here (or used politically- making it worse than it had to be).
He called people because mike wasn’t supposed to betray him. It was proof he won after the vote was throw to the court and they all let him and us down.
I can't answer all your questions in detail but I follow Trump and politics (especially law) pretty closely and my impression is that they (mainly meaning McConnell and Pence) threatened Trump after the Jan 06 protests.
Trump's tone changed dramatically after he told us to "Go Home" whenever he was on camera--he had a few gasps on Twitter before they censored him but whenever he makes a public appearance, I've noticed him saying things he would never say before. He's increased the meaningless hum-hawing political rhetoric which we always liked that he never did that. He's always been direct and forceful but now he's cowed.
Notice how the Dems rushed the second impeachment through? They couldn't agree on money for us for over 8 months but they could throw together impeachment on no evidence with no committee and nothing backing it up in merely a few days. Now why would they do that?
Legal scholars debate if Trump could be tried for his impeachment after he's left office. But, IF the Senate convicted him (which they absolutely would, now that they're Democrat majority, and it's not like they care about the constitution. They do illegal things all the time.) he will lose his secret service detail.
SUPPOSEDLY McConnell pointed this out to Trump and told him he would support impeachment in the Senate as minority leader (remember he told the Republicans NOT to challenge the electoral results? And Mike Pence changed the rules last minute to be more of a ceremonial role?)
When I look at the events of the last two months through this lens it all makes a LOT more sense. Why would McConnell throw Georgia by blocking Trump's 2k stimulus bill? He didn't care if the GOP lost the senate. Why would the Dems rush through the second impeachment when according to legal scholars it was TOTALLY MEANINGLESS based on the constitution? Because they want the chance to take Trump's Secret Service protection and Presidential pension.
I agree with everything you said. It's been a wild ride.
Thank you. You sum up a lot of the same feelings I am having. I am dismayed at the viciousness of a lot of people who are posting today. The shills are certainly out, trying to turn everyone against Trump, and a movement that only wanted to make the lives of all Americans better, and put the needs of our country first, This was a radical change after so many years of giving our treasure away to countries that hated us, and fighting in countless wars costing us thousands of US lives. Was this concept so bad? And this movement so dangerous that it had to be demonized.and destroyed? Follow the money. I think this might give us the answers we need. One lesson was learned. How corrupt our own government is. The covers are lifted. Our eyes are open now.
