Mr. Golden Hair Surprise
How did Trump win so big when just 3 ½ years ago he was considered a criminal, a sore loser, and the worst thing that ever happened to the Grand Old Party?
How is it possible that someone that is literally in the line of fire can continue to perform at unexplainable levels? What is it about The Man From New York that gives him such an edge? What makes him Mr. Golden Hair Surprise?
He has dodged dozens of lawsuits, impeachments, prosecutions and now even a bullet from an AR 15. He is now 79 and his fortune has grown by several billion through ingenious investments in luxury golf resorts, brand licensing and multi media platforms.
His family is thriving, even though they have been under unfair scrutiny since his first term in the White House.
Trump has built his Brand by being inscrutable, ostentatious, rude and arrogant. He never settles for second best. Some would say he is a bragger, but it ain't bragging if you can deliver.
DJT has not batted 1000%, but he is hitting well above his weight. He has built an incredible Brand that is worth billions just in licensing fees. He has built or restored hundreds of highly sought-after properties all over the world. Most of which, like most real estate values around the globe, have increased in value exponentially. He had one of the most successful network TV series ever made. It was a trend setter in the now ubiquitous realty show genre.
He has also written or co-written 11 books, and appeared in dozens of films. The mans has what promoters call The Midas Touch.
He has now become only the second man in US history to leave the Presidency after his first four year term, and then return four years later. Grover Cleveland was first elected in 1884 and was reelected in 1892.
What makes this such an amazing series of events is that the Democcult Party and some of the most powerful institutions in America, were lining up in opposition, to a degree never seen before in our political history. The leaders of the CIA, FBI, DOJ, Secret Service and the President/CEO of dozens of leading colleges, universities, and media operators have made it clear they view Trump as an "existential threat to Democracy". Even the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the Pentagon chimed in on his contempt for Trump.
But the public saw it differently. They regularly filled stadiums and convention centers to cheer on The Man From New York. While the educational unions, feminist organizations and LGBTQ coalitions worked 24/7 to derail the MAGA Movement, none of their media riptides seemed to work.
In fact, they all had the opposite effect: suddenly many folks that were traditionally apolitical or undecided were voicing their recent conversion to the MAGA Movement. Some hard core Democrats used social media posts to publicly announce their support for the former President. They sight their inability to ignore the overwhelming evidence of cultural and economic decay.
When Trump declared "we won this election. By a lot!" on the morning of November 5th in 2020, just after most networks had declared Biden the projected winner, he was roundly criticized as a poor loser, and someone who was selfishly trying to hold on to power and to disenfranchise Democcult voters.
But it didn't take long before he started to understand what he was up against. The same massive network of insider machines that undermined virtually every initiative his administration proposed were hard at work trying to destroy his Brand.
Since 2020 Trump has gained insight into just how sophisticated the cheating operation really was. He became aware that Republicans were in on it too. That the public was being shielded from information, were being gaslighted, and that no matter how much he complained, it was a mountain too high to climb.
His team of analysts dug deeper into the data and realized the enormity of the problem. What they found was far more widespread and corrupt than Trump ever imagined.
Or maybe not. Maybe Trump knew all along, and was laying a honey trap, considering the impossibility of working within the system. There are dozens of theories about how a vast network of super patriots, some from deeper inside the Deep State, have been building a case against a multinational criminal enterprise encompassing every evil imaginable, all working to protect their generational wealth and power. If that sort of criminal conspiracy exists, it would never be revealed with anything less than a grand, worldwide revelation, a prosecution so big it would make the take down of the US Mafia Families under Rudy Giuliani in the early 1980's look like kids play.
Time will tell…
Americans have been inculcated with fake news and doctored information for decades. There is a vast underworld of nefarious interests, not necessarily connected directly, that have been working together to protect their turf, their financial and historical interests, and that are willing to burn down the village to stay in power. They think Trump is a lightweight, an arrogant rogue who is using emotional tools to foment dissent, and could, if not stopped, ignite a nuclear meltdown of their carefully constructed fiefdom. Anyone paying half attention knows there is at least some truth to those claims.
After consulting with dozens of alternative news gatherers, underground investigators and insider military operations experts, Mr. Golden Hair Surprise has adopted an entirely different approach. As I wrote in my eBook Haters Will Hate This Book, Trump decided he could never change the minds of committed Biden supporters about his character. But he could bring under the MAGA tent women who resented the Democratic support for men dressed like women destroying women's sports, or invading girls dressing rooms. He could bring in independent truck drivers who are being forced to give up their mortgaged diesels to buy new hybrid e-trucks. He could win over young black voters who are losing jobs to illegal immigrants. He could grab mothers whose daughters are being hunted by ex-cons getting early prison release by ultra liberal judges.
But in order to do that, he would have to deliver the Real News, expose the crooks, and educate the preoccupied and mostly complacent voter, by simply by-passing the Deep State-controlled media machine.
He knew the game changer was to open up pathways of information that had been previously blocked by the Democcult Party friendly FrankenMedia. He wisely decided that his goal was to demonstrate how school union corruption was wasting taxpayers money, driving our children into unfathomable debt. How liberal school boards were overriding the desires of parents, how illegal immigration was damaging the quality of life of all Americans, and how Democcult wealth redistribution through phony environmental and social programs was causing inflation and the deterioration of the dollar, while hurting the spending power of all Americans.
These were the breakfast table issues that people of all economic and cultural levels appreciate. Besides, everytime Democcults get into positions of power, they overreach and step on their own dicks. Just look at Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. By the end of their terms, the country was in turmoil.
Trump started his own social media platform, Truth Social. He eventually got his Twitter account back. He made the circuit of alternative media talkers, like Hannity, Carlson, Bongino, and Beck, among many others. He quietly courted powerful Republicans, and helped many get elected in their state races. He reached out to influencers in the entertainment business, appearing on hostile late night TV shows and at alternate sportsevents like LIV Golf and UFC Mega Fights. He wooed UFC CEO Dana White and podcast giant Joe Rogan, as well as WWE founder Vince McMahon, and of course he stunned NASCAR racing fans when he took the Presidential Limousine known as "The Beast" around the track at Daytona International Raceway pacing the Great American Daytona 500 race.
In August of 2024, he sat down with Elon Musk using the X platform, and streamed a 90 minute conversation. After overcoming a Deep State effort to hack the broadcast, it was estimated to have been seen by over 1 billion people around the world.
Trump has a natural feel for promotion and drawing attention to himself. He is the Barnum and Bailey Circus and Mohamed Ali all rolled into one personality.
But ultimately he is the King of Builders. Whether it is starting from scratch and creating something never built before, or renovating an older property and restoring it's classic appeal.
In that sense, he is currently attempting his biggest restoration project ever. He is trying to restore a country which was at one time the Beacon On The Hill, as Ronald Reagan used to say.
He has taken on the job of rebuilding the American Brand and making it great again. But even more difficult is the job of convincing half the American People that The Brand needs any work at all.
One of the worlds best known brand blunders was the roll out of New Coke. Coca Cola faced a massive ad campaign by its chief rival Pepsi Cola. They ran a series of taste test challenges, showing people choosing between unlabeled cola cans. "Which do you really prefer?"
When the results came in, most people chose Pepsi, claiming Coke was too sweet. Led by book-bred young bean counters and marketing geniuses, Coke management reformulated their monstrously successful brand, and renamed it New Coke.
The new product died on the vine. In fact, after the dust had settled, the restored Classic Coke sales shot up! Surpassing previous records, firmly putting Classic Coke back on top.
Recently another pure American brand began suffering sales declines in their iconic Harley-Davidson Motorcycles brand. It was showing signs of losing it's extraordinary image of the traditional biker's embrace of anti-authoritarianism.
So their younger board decided to bring in a German CEO who sold them on rebranding Harley-Davidson "...as diverse as we could possible be as a brand and a business, and celebrate diversity and inclusion…"
“It’s important that we create new leadership. That we get others to join a new thinking of a more sustainable business, of a better business that is more equitable in every respect. Socially, environmentally and financially.”
-- Harley-Davidson CEO Jochen Zeitz
Zeitz then announced the company was planning to move a portion of their previously exclusive American production facilities to Thailand. This move reveals the reality that reputation alone can't always overcome business challenges, but it also points out that reputation is an intangible asset that can't be treated like a supply chain issue. If you mistreat your identity, she may walk out on you never to be seen again.
The lesson is, if it ain't broke, don't "fix" it! Once people choose something, a product, a service, a sports team, a motorcycle brand, it doesn't really matter what the competition says or does. At some point, the reasons they originally picked their winner no longer apply. They have grown to love their choice, and in their minds, everything that happens after that just reaffirms their decision. They love the logo, the artwork, the celebrities used in their advertisement. It becomes a battle of loyalties. Loyalty to an identity connected to an intangible like the sound of the exhaust, or the folks that make the product and the factory they work in.
Trump is part of the American Team. He is a symbol of what America means to its supporters, its real patriots. He noted so much at a campaign stop in Iowa, back in 2016:
"I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters, OK? It's, like, incredible."
It's not so much that Trump is Trump anymore, it's that Trump is what most Americans remember as their better days. A time when politics was just one of dozens of aspects of our lives. It was something we only took seriously a few minutes a week. Politicians were anomalies. People we hardly knew, and wanted to keep it that way because we knew they wielded a lot of power, but most of the time they were bringing good things back home to our communities.
Then Trump was an entertainer, someone who did interviews with comedians or Playboy Magazine. Then later he ran the Miss Teen, Miss USA and Miss Universe Beauty Contest franchises. Then later he helped start up the short lived United States Football League. And all along walking among the construction crews in Manhattan, shaking their hands and recognizing their hard work and contributions to his projects.
And finally, he starred in The Apprentice, making his iconic "You're Fired" one of the most overused catch phrases of all time. You either loved it or hated it, but at some point everybody watched at least some of it.
During decades of playing the rich playboy entrepreneur and raconteur, everybody loved Donald. Politicians partied with him, and often received a generous donation for their efforts. He greased their palms and expected some help to get building permits. He went to celebrity parties after the Academy Awards, showed up at Super Bowls and even hosted then President Bill Clinton at his Mira Lago Estate home.
But you would never know any of that if you are captured by the FrankenMedia. Because Trump the Loyalist embraced the American flag and promised to secure our southern border, his haters have spent billions to whack the Trump Brand.
The Democcult Party, like Pepsi, is frustrated because for over 100 years, Coca Cola dominated soda sales to the working class, the construction unions, the Harley-Davidson riders, and when Pepsi won the Taste Test, they had their chance to upset the applecart and bring down that Coke juggernaut.
The New Coke blunder was a symbolic gesture just as the January 6th Capitol Hill riots were to the Democcult Party. They were sure the Republicans were toast, and Trump was going to jail! The Trump juggernaut was finished. It was Pepsi’s turn to rule!
But product loyalty is a funny thing…
Don't be surprised to see a massive rally through the streets of Washington DC just before the January inauguration, and millions of Harley-Davidsons leading the way.
That afternoon Mr. Golden Hair Surprise will place his hand on the Bible, for the second time and swear to Make America Great Again.
This is a great article! I have no words other than you have stated exactly to a tee. I believe that President Trump is anointed...I know...many people say that "only" happened in the Bible. Those saying that have not read the Bible! As in your article ..LOOK at all President Trump has done, from past to present! And what he has gone through! Thank you much for this!
