The Complete Disarray of US Politics: What Goes Around, Comes Around - Nathan McDonald (30/11/2018)

Nov 24, 2018
As we have seen since President Trump took office, the Democratic
party has used every trick in the book, attempting to bog down his
administration and keep his party, which at the time, had a majority in both
the House and the Senate, from achieving their goals. To a large degree this
has worked, yet, not entirely.
Despite their best efforts, and the unprecedented amount of
assistance that they have unarguably received from the Mainstream Media, the
latter of which has forever exposed themselves as nothing more than partisan
puppets, President Trump has pushed on and achieved many successes.
The fact that he has achieved anything at all, is truly stunning.
Especially given the tidal wave of resistance that he receives on a daily
basis, orchestrated by the DC establishment and the forces behind them.
Yet, even though the Democrats have been successful in many
regards, and have bogged down the Republican Administration, this has not come
without its cost, which in the future, the whole world is going to pay for.
You see, these tactics that have been adopted, which many classify
as "dirty" or "disgusting", are a double edged sword, and
as Senator Lindsey Graham recently pointed out, they are going to regret the
day they ever chose to go this route.
Since taking office, President Trump has attempted to weather this
storm as best as he could, taking a massive beating in the process and
noticeably became more and more irritated as time went on.
I believe, he has finally come to his senses and the realization
that he cannot and will not be able to work hand in hand with his
opponents.
This means that moving forward, you can expect to see a lot more
of "campaign" Trump, as he turns away from the approach he has been
taking and turns more into what got him elected. A free wheeling, sometimes
apparently, loose cannon.
The straw that broke the camels back was the emboldening of the
Democratic party, as they retook the House, a scenario that I and many others
predicated would happen.
Since that day, there has been an ever increasing amount of calls
from within the Democratic party to investigate Trump and his family on every
level, using whatever tools are available to them.
This tactic, will not end well for the American people, and could
possibly upset the entire apple cart, which is already incredibly precarious
and unstable, as President Trump and the Republican party fight back in full
force.
Indicating that he would do just this in a recent interview
with
The
Post
, he stated the following;
“If they go down the presidential harassment track, if they want
go and harass the president and the administration, I think that would be the
best thing that would happen to me. I’m a counter-puncher and I will hit them
so hard they’d never been hit like that,”
Going on further, he explained during the interview that he has a
number of "bombshell" reports that he is just waiting to declassify,
reports that would be devastating to the Democratics and expose extreme
corruption from within their party.
Whether or not this is a bluff, or not, is unknown, however given
the level of corruption within DC, on both sides of the aisle, I would lean
towards the side of caution and believe that there is most certainly some truth
to his threats.
Democrats know this as well, and just the thought of being exposed
for their many secrets and wrong doings, may just be enough to make them second
guess themselves and wonder what "dirt" Trump has on them.
Remember, the powers that the President has to access classified
information is vast and powerful. He still has and will have many tricks at his
disposal and with a stroke of a pen, can inflict serious damage against his
opponents.
Still, the true damage is not going to be felt in the short term,
but rather in the long term, as I previously alluded to. The genie is out of
the bottle and there is no going back.
Which is exactly why, now more than ever, it is important to be
dollar cost averaging into both gold bullion and silver bullion, month after
month, year after year, as the entire system could implode, if civility isn't
restored.
To think for a moment that when the roles are reversed and the
Democrats take power, that the Republicans will not behave in a similar manner
as the left have moving forward, is foolish and irrational. They will.
Hopefully, just hopefully, sanity will be restored and rational
minds will prevail, before it is too late and the entire system systematically
destroys itself, from within. Wishful thinking, I know.
