TRUMPED

Professional politicians cannot be trusted. It is no secret that I completely distrust elected officials and have written the articles above about why Americans should vote for Trump.

I have held my tongue about his strategy for months, but feel it is time to discuss it so that you can see the thinking behind what he does. First let me defend him once again. It is necessary to do so not because he has been criticized for what he says, but because the criticism exposes the fraud his critics represent.

• Bankruptcy. Trump, like tens of thousands of other corporations including General Motors resorted to the bankruptcy court to solve intractable business problems. It is a frequent enough occurrence that there is strict legislation dealing with the process to protect investors and employees. Trump’s corporations cleared that hurdle. Yet in the 2007-2008 financial fraud that cost Americans and average citizens globally $20 TRILLION, no one went to jail and many of the bankers got jobs with the government.

• Lewandowski Affair. Cory Lewandowski was accused of brutally throwing a reporter to the ground. Security film footage clearly shows her description of events was deliberately embellished and did not confirm the hurling to the ground lie, and the charges were all dropped. But the reporter, to continue trying to make Trump look bad, is now supposedly suing Lewandowski civilly, which undoubtedly will make her famous for about five minutes.

• Planned Parenthood. In a country in which health care is not provided freely, with the majority of people not in a position to purchase expensive health care plans, Planned Parenthood offers a lower cost and in many cases free service to clients. Of particular importance is screening for cancer, STIs and STDs, and prenatal care. Abortion is only 3% of Planned Parenthood's service offering. Even the Pope, who represents one of largest religions on earth that is against abortion and birth control, said birth control is a better alternative than allowing the creation of babies with microcephaly to be born. Pragmatism in the face of a horrible disease is not a sin, and one cannot destroy an entire organization that does a lot of good in the world for the one thing that they do that you might disagree with. It should be noted however getting rid of public health services that are free or lower cost does favor insurers who pay off politicians in droves.

• Wives. Trump was called out for responding to comments about his wife. Before that his penis size was criticized. He should not have responded to either, but even so, how low to the ground are the guys that started that exercise? Do you expect him to kiss up to the Saudi Royal family who helped to fund 9-11 too just to be politically correct? Obama and Clinton are. 

• Megyn Kelly and Women. Trump joins a long line of Presidential candidates, Roosvelt, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, and Clinton who may have spent too much time as preppies goo gah over women. This attitude toward women is old school and wrong. But, judging by his daughters, Trump clearly has to answer for his out of place remarks at home. I don’t see any of his daughters behaving like chattels, or wearing all the same shirts and blouses like Romney’s kids are. Write Trump's daughters to tell them to clean up his act regarding women. Or are you from the old school too, and women should be subservient and listen to their man? America is a family affair, and having daughters that are not afraid to speak up when they should sets an example for the entire world.
  

• Paying Politicians and the Mob. Trump is criticized for saying he has had to pay politicians to "get along" ie: so his projects would have less approval problems, and he is also accused of using New York construction firms controlled by the mafia to get things built, like every other major developer in New York. The issue here is not that Trump paid, but that he admitted it and in so doing exposed a completely corrupt political system at the local, state and national level. None of these corrupt schemes can operate without political sanction, including the mafia in New York.  So when you are tempted to criticize Trump, ask yourself which politicians have been benefiting from this corrupt scheme he and hundreds of others like him have to pay off over the years just to do business?
  

• The RNC. Trump has exposed another completely corrupt political process, the RNC. The RNC publicly confirmed they have no intention of following the will of the people, calling the corruption of representative democracy their "RULES."  George Bush called the murder of Iraq citizens and the killing of thousands of American soldiers a "WAR"  when it absolutely was not, and by no definition in law could it be. So Bush changed the law and the definitions. Welcome to the world of absolute corruption so bold faced as to publicly appoint committees to make sure people you might want to elect don't get past the political mobsters and money men in the RNC. And thank Ted Cruz for submerging his entire body, his election machine and all its supporters in the hog wallow of political corruption called the Convention. The most recent scam is he and Kasich are working together to stay out of states the other competes in so they can force Trump into the hog wallow of the convention where the RNC will poison him. Good ol Ted, the integrity of a hog. And by the way, what would you think of your favorite NFL team tossing a game so that they and the other fixers could rig the Superbowl? The Economist certainly got it right with this cartoon.

Smart Enough to Get $2 Billion in Free Advertising

Now for the part about Trump’s strategy. One of the greatest advertisers in history launched Ajax laundry soap with a White Knight carrying a lance riding on a horse against the traffic in Manhattan. At a predetermined place and time the Knight impaled a taxi cab that had been rigged with thousands of gallons of water designed to steam when the lance triggered the radiator of the taxi. The news media gave the story front page coverage, not realizing it was a stunt, until the next day when Ajax laundry soap launched as a new product on the market with a White Knight on a horse as its logo.

Trump gets stunts and their value in the Press. Watch him cut Vince McMahon’s hair in this WrestleMania video. Everyone knows wrestling is staged entertainment, but it works. Trump has successfully staged controversy to earn “close to $2 billion worth of media attention, about twice the all-in price of the most expensive presidential campaigns in history. It is also twice the estimated $746 million that Hillary Clinton, the next best at earning media, took in.”

Not only is Trump smart, but walking the casino floor has let him see firsthand the desperation of average Americans to get ahead, even with a bad bet. And he listens to them. Everyone else runs them down as uneducated losers, blue collar bigots, and moochers. Sorry folks, they are the real Americans you let liars like Bush get killed in places like Iraq so he and his connected political money men can steal other poor people’s oil.  Hopefully you will get tired of professional politicians murdering your children just to make money and vote them out in any way possible.

Give me a President smart enough to get free advertising, practical enough to know the average person with limited health care options needs someone like Planned Parenthood to help, and as pragmatic as a Pope who adjusted a 2000 year old Catholic prohibition against birth control to save potentially millions of babies being born deformed with the devastation that would have had on the millions of women who are their mothers. I left out the men because if history serves as any kind of guide, their mothers have always been left holding the bag to care for these children when they are born and in many cases their fathers have flown the coop with their pants down looking for the next vulnerable woman.

And don't give me any Christian crap that you know better than the Pope. He answers to the faith and devotion of a billion Christians who benefit from any merciful guidance the Pope can give them. Maybe you would feel better if you found out the Pope was now rigging the game because he secretly owned shares in a condom factory.  After all, that beacon of Christianity Ted Cruz has shown amazing Christian values by trying to rig an election, so that must be the way, right?
