Trump, Peace President

By
How many times have we heard it from the liberal left, and also the libertarian right, that Trump means to get America into another major war?  That just shows a lack of understanding.  So let’s clear that up.

Now granted, Trump is different.  People do not know how to take him.  But that is because politicians rarely tell the truth.  The political class, generally, is not excited that the people might see and understand what is truly happening in this world.  And they do not desire for people to know what they are doing against the people’s interests.  Therefore, politicians talk in circles.  They speak mantra rather than message.  They hide their true purposes within crafty, circular rhetoric, which leaves listeners wondering what they just heard.  It’s a talent.

But that’s not Trump, thankfully.  Trump says what he means.  And he says it in ways a common man can relate.  After all, Trump is a common man, a builder among tradespersons.  He speaks the language.  He tells folks what he wants them to do.  And since his final product must be square, plumb, and endure the test of time, Trump does not waste time with nuance.  He does not leave the world contemplating messages open to interpretation.  When Trump calls Hillary Clinton, “crooked,” it is because she is and he desires the world to understand that.  When he calls John Kerry, John Brennan and various Obama-era deep state Justice Department, “traitors,” he simply speaks the truth so that no one should guess where he stands.
 
While other Presidents simulate war, Trump makes peace
And so, when shortly after Trump took office he pronounced Kim Jong Un, “Rocketman,” Trump placed the young North Korean dictator into a frame of reference foreign to any he had ever known.  Trump let Kim know that, compared to the forces against him and conceivably at Trump’s disposal, forces of North Korea together resembled gnat on Trump’s posterior.  Kim had entered Trump boot camp.  In boot camp, those assigned must be broken, like wild horses must be broken.  They must be rendered to a state of lowest common denominator.  When that is accomplished, they can be built back to a new image, one favorable to the boot camp instructor.  By using his chosen descriptor, “Rocketman,” and publicly applying it to Kim, Trump rendered the North Korean leader about as low on the world scale as he could go, and in front of his own people.  But soon something amazing began.  Trump offered to raise Kim back up, elevating him to the identical level as the leader of the free world.  Trump offered a kind countenance, a smiling handshake, offered to extend pleasantries and even sit down at the table with Kim to know him and discuss differences.  In so doing, Trump began to build the rogue dictator into a new image, that of a world leader.  Now if you were Kim Jong Un, which image would you prefer, “Rocket-man,” or “world states-man?”

Donald Trump uses his own variant of the golden rule.  Trump treats enemies as they treat him, and exaggerates their attacks.  Responding in kind diminishes his enemies, works on their psyches.  But when they exhibit newfound favorable behavior, Trump does as well, treating them as he himself would be treated.
 
Notice how Trump deals with President Xi of China.  China uses tariffs against America, so Trump doubles Xi’s tariffs, breaking Xi to negotiate.  Once that occurs, Trump publicly builds the Chinese dictator into an image Xi much prefers, elevating Xi to Trump’s level, publicly complimenting him, offering kindness and warm gestures.  Donald Trump is more than a master negotiator.  He is a master diplomat.  Trump is breaking the world, transforming it to a new image, that of nation states peacefully competing and enjoying the prosperity of a truly free and open world economy.  That is where Trump is leading, whether you have seen it prior to now or not.

And so, to all the nay-sayers out there who have believed President Trump means war, recent events should convince any honest appraiser that Trump actually means to finally deliver peace around the planet. But one cannot deliver peace by simply halting opposition and leaving the arena.  Peace means establishing relationships, friendships and trust.  If Trump meant war, North Korea would have been a prime location for it.  But he means peace, always has.  And those around the world with whom America has maintained odds are beginning to see it.
 
Trump meant peace in Syria. Now we have it.  Judge the results, not the rhetoric.  Rhetoric is simply a device. Trump means peace in Iran.  He is pushing the levers at his disposal to obtain it.  Trump means peace in Afghanistan.  Talks are in advanced stages.
 
But complicating matters is that around the world covert rogue intelligence agencies are hard at work sabotaging peace efforts.  Iran is infested with them just like North Korea and Syria were. Once those operators are removed, peace can result. Why did Obama release hundreds of billions of dollars, including 1.7 billion in cash on cargo planes to Iran? Why did John Kerry go to Iran to urge the Iranian government to hold tight to the so-called, "Iran Nuclear Deal?"  They are the carnival barkers and enablers for the covert operators working in concert against true peace and prosperity for all the world's nations.  They chose their sides many years ago.  Then came Trump.  They had not counted on that.

So just relax, Trump means peace.  All will yet be well.

Storm is at the Door

In last week’s article entitled, “It’s Payback Time,” I recalled growing up in “Camelot” prior to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.  Afterward, even from my 8-year-old perspective, the world changed, for the worse.  People I knew changed for the worse.  The trajectory of world events changed for the worse.  As America mourned, the outlook for peace in the world retreated, practically abandoned. As his fate approached, JFK decided to pull US advisors out of Vietnam, sent there by Eisenhower.  Doing so would have prevented an eventual military involvement that would leave 58,000 Americans dead, their names carved in consolation on a wall in DC, countless US casualties, American families irrevocably broken, not to mention millions of enemy victims. Five months prior to his assassination, JFK ordered the US Treasury Department to begin abandoning the policy of borrowing Federal Reserve currency to pay the bills of the US government. On June 4th 1963, Kennedy exercise

Two weeks ago, I published my best effort at an objective handicap of the 6th District Congressional race .  It was important for me to be objective because leading up to the time of writing that article, I had not made up my mind whom I would support.  What you read in that article was an analysis of the information I had available on those I considered the top three candidates, analysis which I performed in determining who I, myself, would support.  I had no favorite going into the week-long effort it took me to research and write that analysis.  Should you to look back at my social media, you will not find any post, prior to releasing that paper, supporting one candidate or another in the 6th District race.  Jake Evans                                   Rich McCormick                           Mallory Staples And if you read that paper, then you already know that according to my appraisal there are three viable candidates in the 6th District, Rich McCormick, Jake Evans and Mallory St

It’s Payback Time

When did you first become aware of the larger world beyond your home, immediate family, your friends, your school, maybe trips to the grocery store with mom?  For me, it was during the days many referred as, “Camelot.” Now I vaguely remember the election of 1960.  My dad voted for Nixon, mom for Kennedy.  I remember them saying they cancelled each other’s vote.  That would not happen today, not without hair pulling, a divorce or worse, but I digress.  So, I remember Camelot in America, the presidency of John F. Kennedy, who together with First Lady Jackie, children Caroline and John Jr., or “John John,” presented an image of style and grace, humor and humility, the ideal American family, at least it appeared. At our school I remember JFK’s picture hanging next to the American flag.  Each day before instruction, we would stand, place our hands over our hearts and recite the Pledge, followed by the Lord’s Prayer.  Then we would sing patriotic songs conveying a sense of what America was,
