Patience
In 2017 I began writing a follow up to my 2015 book Turn Right At Lost: Recalculating America, which was inspired by the total and complete incompetency of the Obama Presidency. I had to express my fears that were Hillary Clinton to assume the Presidency, the Democratic Republic we call America, would most likely end up in the dustbin of history.
I titled the new book (published in 2018)Trump's Reckoning, Bulldozing Progressivism, Rebuilding Americanism. In 2016, Trump managed to pull off the most unforeseen election upset in American history, and as much as I was excited to see what he could do to turn around the worldwide chaos Obama had induced, I was terrified that he wasn't prepared for the firestorm the Progressive Jihad was going to reign down on him.
Since then we have witnessed something never before seen in our nations 245 year history: A system wide, cultural, financial and political assault on the reputation of a man who for decades was the darling of New York's High Society, who was a successful worldwide real estate developer, reality TV show entrepreneur all around celebrity raconteur.
And even worse, coordinated attempts to assassinate him by what appeared, on the surface, to be perpetrated by reckless, untrained and delusional ideologues. But were never properly investigated or prosecuted by the same judicial system that had flagrantly violated constitutional rules to hamstring Trump's return to power.
Americans who wholeheartedly supported the Make America Great Again theme, to restore the nation's border integrity, sovereignty and pride, and to renegotiate rigged trade agreements and restore the economic engines of manufacturing and energy production, were watching elements of our own infrastructure tear the fabric of our constitutional institution into pieces.
We were witnessing a dumpster fire of self inflicted social collapse. The nation was confronting a civil war level implosion. And Donald John Trump was being blamed for it all by a network of powerful social forces. I coined the term "The FrankenMedia" to describe the network of collective haters that coordinated intense propaganda campaigns, plastering the public with slanderous, seditious and insidious attacks on the dully elected President, claiming he was going to "destroy our Democracy" and put dessenters in prison.
Ironically, once Trump left office the opposite was actually what was happening: after the 2020 election that was blatantly stolen, using the worldwide pandemic as a cover for massive ballot and electronic vote counting manipulation, the selected puppet occupying the White House thereafter relentlessly violated our personal freedoms, closed churches, schools and small businesses, then demanded every citizen get immunized with an experimental vaccine that was never tested or officially approved by the Federal Food and Drug Administration.
The Biden Regime was nothing less than an authoritarian police state.
For four long years the White House occupiers spent taxpayer money like drunken pirates, wasted billions on Covid subsidies, DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) initiatives, and Democratic reelection programs, while the Ukraine War continued to suck even more billions out of our defense budget. Meantime, the country suffered energy and real estate inflation unlike anything we had ever experienced.
All that time the Man From New York was quietly rethinking his previous approach, realizing NOW what he didn't realize BEFORE: the opposition was not just a political party, an ideological disagreement, or even a cultural anomaly. His opposition was nothing less than the culmination of a Communist Ideological Movement disguised as a Cultural Evolution. The same people that lost the Cold War, that were isolated and banished to China, North Korea and Romania and Russia, who had been secretly building coalitions across America within Academia and the Union Movement, and who were also secretly embedded in Big Pharma as an offshoot of WWII chemical warfare inventions, were actively spreading influence through the United Nations, the World Health Organization, the World Economic Forum and dozens of other seemingly innocuous nonprofit groups.
Those dastardly Democrats, who Trump had historically supported, were now practicing nothing less than race baiting, anti-semitism, and using the women's liberation movement as a battering ram to disenfranchise the white male workforce.They were not working towards a better America, but instead were attempting to reformulate the recipe for Americanism: to make America just another 3rd world plantation, where the population would accept the Role of the Herd.
So it would be necessary to demonstrate some fundamental truths to all Americans; to remove the Veil of Authority that Democrats had wrapped themselves in. To reverse the indoctrination process where minorities believed the plantation owners were acting in their best interests and where they actively fought to remain indentured, happy to be supplied mind numbing drugs, processed food supplies and vacuous entertainment.
It would take a long slow process, four years to be accurate. It would require some subtle maneuvering of large groups of otherwise apathetic voters to recognize just how disingenuous Big Media was. How they were being played by the Beltway Brotherhood of corrupt politicians, by Big Business, Big Pharma and Big Union interests.
But The Builder understood. He had confronted these kinds of obstacles before. He was used to taking the Long View.
You don't collect a portfolio of some of the World's most iconic resorts, golf courses and buildings without patience. The patience of a Saint…
The coordinated efforts to destroy the Man From New York, the 45th President of the United States, The Builder, did inflict damage to his reputation. The Progressive Jihad had effectively painted him as a radical, an insurrectionist and someone who would tear down America just to feed his own ego. But one thing DJT knew was effective at reversing those misconceptions…live rallies across the country. Effective use of social media and just being himself.
As self assured and pompous as he has always been, one thing he has always had to be was patient.
People appreciate leaders who are resolute and clear about their intentions. Trump reasoned that after nearly ten years of exposure to his simple formulas for success, he could rebuild his image, his credibility and his support. And with the World watching Sleepy Joe stumble along, bullshitting his way through a term of total ineptitude and anti-American dumpster diving, all he had to do was be patient.
