Trump: Raging against The Machine

“The wheel is come full circle.”—Shakespeare, King Lear.

Donald J. Trump has been re-elected President of the United States.His escape from one indisputable assassination attempt, a second possible one, was described as miraculous. In spite of all the hate mongering against him by his opponents, the Democrats, and mainstream media that has lost much credibility by assisting in labelling him public enemy Number 1; numerous attempts to jail and bankrupt him through the courts: Trump has just as miraculously been voted back into office on November 5th. An event that has been grudgingly called a great political comeback but not a landslide victory despite the results. It was indeed remarkable that he not only won the popular vote, garnered 312 electoral college votes (42 more than needed to win)—but the Republicans have control of the Senate, the House of Representatives, and most of the gubernatorial seats.

Even if Biden was elected properly without controversy and clear evidence of voter fraud as presented by signed legal affidavits, how did such a tremendous red shift occur over the blue four years later? The media portraying Trump as a loser who is against the times has not only been proven wrong but has led to a meltdown among supporters of Kamala Harris who believed what they were fed by daily brainwashing; videos show Democrat supporters having immense difficulty accepting that the 2024 results are a reflection of the will of the people.

The utter failure of the Democrats is the result of the disastrous Biden policies, but it is also a vote of absolute non-confidence in Harris who ended her run the way she entered her post of Vice-President, conducted herself in those years, and during her campaign by not showing up when it mattered: undignified, ungraceful, unintelligent.

Harris was missing from action for the most during the presidential campaign while Trump and J.D. Vance campaigned furiously till the last giving a barrage of interviews and subjecting themselves to questions from the electorate; they were grilled by a blatantly biased and hostile media: who were soft on Harris. Unsurprisingly, when the inevitable results came in Harris was missing at her campaign HQ; she did not have the courtesy to concede defeat but had someone tell supporters to go home. Only later did she concede to the will of the people—the common man and woman—who made clear their choice, and their rejection.

There are, of course, other key reasons that gave Trump his victory. He successfully won over the middle class, working class, police and security personnel, African American and Latino voters. The Democrats were busy courting celebrities and the ultra wealthy who have no traction with the majority of voters, people who have to endure difficult times with Biden’s gift of inflation; decent, honest, hardworking folk have nothing in common with celebrities who proclaim they will leave their country if Trump wins. If these celebrities had any integrity they would leave America; it remains to be seen if they put their considerable funds where their mouths are; but somehow it is likely they will stay put and reap the benefits a Trump presidency will provide. For them, it is only about the money and grandstanding.

Trump is bringing together an outstanding team to fix the significant damage within the US and where America misused its influence in the last four years. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. will help make America healthy again via tackling harmful chemicals in food, taking on Big Pharma and harmful drugs, and have a say in environmental matters. Trump announced that political consultant Susie Wiles, his skillful campaign co-chair, will be his White House chief-of-staff: the first woman to hold that post in America. And he is nominating the respected Tom Homan, former acting head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, as his ‘Border Czar’ to handle illegal immigration.

He is getting ready to take on the the Machinery of the Establishment and, as he calls it: drain The Swamp.

  • Good luck, American people!:

    It was said that Trump is very revengeful. He now has a long list of names that he is going to deal with after he has taken over.

    The list includes the names of major players in the Democrat establishment. Biden, Kamala, pelose…are in the front seats.

    As a result, 2 waves of modern civil war are expected. The first of which is the fierce struggle between the donkey and the elephant. The next will be the repatriation of more than ten million illegal immigrants who have roots in the United States.

    The outcome of the civil wars will be a very divided country, the commander in chief will be exhausted and become crazy.

    Good luck to the great American people!

  • Justsayonly:

    The Biden Administration has not just being pushing their nonsense agenda in US alone, they are also aggressively forcing their idealogy all over the world.

    I’m sure PAP had been shoved similar directives from the Biden people.

    In fact, PAP has been copying Biden’s immigration policy ie bring them in, make them citizens, get their votes.

    Now with the new administration, the immigration nonsense will stop but here, since nobody can stop then, it will continue as usual.

    “Number 1; numerous attempts to jail and bankrupt him through the courts:Number 1; numerous attempts to jail and bankrupt him through the courts”

  • 2Daft2Live:

    It is too early to tell if Trump will finally bring about great success in his 2nd term; considering how he fumbled with his 1st in the midst of COVID-19. One thing for sure is when faced with a sudden catastrophic event like an epidemic, he and his previous team were at a total loss….leading to his eventual loss to Biden. Sometimes, it takes a crisis to show who is a true leader and who is just hot air.

    When that gangster and murderer was elected President of the Philippines, people thought only in “third world”, or so countries could democracy result in such mob rule, said by Matthew Arnold as rule by “philistines” supported by “the barbaric herd”. Never could the same happen, it was thought, in “advanced” and “enlightened” countries like America, where freedom of thought and discussion could be depended upon to preserve at least a minimum of reasonableness, commonsense and moral sense. But, America has chosen Trump, rapist and all, and for the second time, whilst the Philippines had the sense to give their gangster only one term!

  • Enemies of the State:

    What is good for America is not good for the enemies of America.
    Who do the enemies of USA want as US President.
    If Trump is good for USA, Russia and other enemies would want a non-Trump.
    And IMPORTANTLY…vice versa.
    Sanjay…please write another article 3 to 4 years from now…..when all the facts are in.
    The poor frustrated US voters would still be in status quo 4 years from now.
    Obama and ALL the other Presidents before him promised ‘change’ that will never and have never been delivered.
    It is the RICH that hold all the aces.
    RICH and POWERFUL go to sleep in the same bed at night….everywhere, throughout history.

  • Harder Truths:

    Doees not matter who wins in the US elections or anywhere else. $inkieland is still doomed and will suffer like the third-world communist nation it is when the economic cirsis worsens. it is only a matter of time. Even the once powerhouse China is in big trouble.

    A tiny island with no resources and a big-mouth government will soon find out why stupid voters will end up in old folks’ homes begging for chicken rice from FT.

  • Dr Tan Tai Wei:

    By the way, white supremacists and white Christian nationalists, and the likes, who voted Trump might well take note. That white man you voted is, by comparison to black and brown Kamala, morally, cognitively and culturally “supreme”?!
