Will Trump Survive This? By James Rickards

Whatever you may think of Trump, fair-minded people would agree that the tactics being used against him are nefarious. From James Rickards at dailyreckoning.com:

This is a highly consequential election year, to say the least. The policy differences between Biden and Trump are enormous. Whether it’s taxes, regulation, borders, energy or foreign policy, the differences couldn’t be clearer.

And though I prefer to focus my analysis on markets alone, I can’t. These days especially, politics plays too great a role in how markets behave.

But this year’s election is about far more than policy.

In the past, the D.C. establishment could live with a typical Republican or Democrat. They knew neither candidate would rock the boat too much if he got elected. Both candidates were cut from the same basic cloth and played by the accepted rules.

But all that goes out the window with Trump.

He’s the most polarizing political figure we’ve seen in our lifetimes. You’d probably have to go back to Andrew Jackson to find a parallel.

And it’s clear that Trump’s political enemies will stop at nothing to keep him out of the White House this time.

Lawfare 

“Lawfare” is their primary tactic. They just want to get Trump convicted of a felony before the election so they can brand him a criminal, believing that the American public won’t elect a convicted felon.

They don’t care if the conviction is subsequently overturned by a higher court. The damage will already be done. And if it trashes the Constitution, Trump’s political enemies are prepared to live with that.

They’re convinced that Trump is the equivalent of Hitler and that he’ll destroy democracy if he’s elected. So in their minds, the ends justify the means. They’ll justify any action, legal or illegal, to ensure his defeat.

  1. Why it’s almost as if they want a C Dub II. (wink)

    I love the artist depickshun (h/t-Idiocracy) making him look like Jabba the Hut or some shit.

    The comrades aren’t going to like Fort Sumter redux when the extended mags come out to play with that too fast for speed bag hot lead spray wall.

    They might feel froggy but they don’t know KEK.

    Nothing he has done is felony and as far as “hush money” that is all done by lawyers/accountants and in today’s society gettin’ some side action from a porno star in her prime is a feature and not a bug.

    You can feel the tension and trash talking and keep head on swivel with situational awareness cranked to Nigel Tufnel 11.
