Something I Don’t Understand – Do You?

By Karen Kwiatkowski

President Trump’s approach to peace and liberty, as a subset of MAGA objectives, seems to be a net positive for his supporters, so far. He and his cabinet are working to defibrillate and jump start America’s broken and unhealthy body in hopes of strengthening and enriching the nation. He wants to build back its working class, and re-acquire and even exceed its former level of excellence in economic productivity, science, technology and character.

Trump exercises two kind of power. He heads the vast executive branch – de facto larger and more powerful than the other two federal branches, and all the states combined. Sadly, this is not by constitutional design but through elite oligarchic evolution, and 112 years of Federal Reserve Bank subsidy of the state and its profit seeking interests, through currency debasement and fraud.

His other power is motivational. Like a coach hoping to motivate his national team, he combines the idea that he cares about “we the people” as he inspires us crudely and creatively with pep talks at the end of a losing third quarter.

As observers and analysts attempt to get a handle on where Trump is actually taking the country, the Constitutionalists among us can’t shake a persistent tic of concern that for all the talk of peace, and putting the interests of Americans first, Trump has a blind spot that we do not share.

Leftists, elitists and TDS sufferers never united around hopes for peace, and they understand free trade exactly the same way Trump does. Correctly, they see him as the disruptor of systems they adored and causes they championed. They are enraged that leftist ideals and elitist objectives didn’t pay popular dividends. Trump broke the Democrat Party through exposure, just as he broke the Republican Party through intimidation.

But both of these formerly powerful political parties share Trump’s blindness. Two of the three federal branches are stumbling backward – and calling it progress – because of the State of Israel’s subversion of the US Constitution. A small example of this is Trump’s recent executive order, that violates the 1st Amendment but echoes a similar Congressional theme. ......
