The Failure of the Democrat-Media Smear Machine

No political figure has been more vilified than Donald Trump with the possible exception of Richard Nixon.

As soon as Donald Trump announced his run for the presidency in 2015, the Democrat “News”-media Colluders (or DNC) began attempting, not to critique his views and policies, but to destroy him with never-ending smears and hoaxes. 

On Trump’s first day in the White House a “journalist,” TIME White House correspondent Zeke Miller, in order to further the DNC’s favourite smear that Trump is a racist, claimed, falsely, that Trump had removed the bust of Martin Luther King from the Oval Office.  Zeke, who was in the Oval Office that evening, explained that he had “looked for it and not seen it.”  Apparently asking someone where it is was too much for poor Zeke. 

During his first term, Trump was accused of saying that Mexicans are rapists and drug traffickers.  He said no such thing but one must have minimal logical abilities to grasp this.  What Trump actually said was that some of the people Mexico is “sending” into the US are rapists and drug traffickers.  If one possesses minimal reasoning abilities one can see that this does not necessarily even necessarily refer to Mexicans.  Mexico might be sending Chinese or Russians into the US.  Further, Trump explicitly said that he was not referring to all the people Mexico is sending because “some, I assume, are good people.”  Unfortunately, this distinction proved too much for the DNC.  Didn’t understanding English used to be understood as essential to journalism? 

The DNC also accused Trump of calling Mexicans “animals”.  Actually, no!  What Trump actually said was that vicious murdering members of the MS-13 gang were animals.  Can the DNC distinguish between MS-13 gang members and ordinary Mexicans?  Maybe not.  But who is the racist then?

Trump was accused of “deriding” people from Haiti and Africa by calling those two places “shithole countries.”  In fact, some people at that meeting said Trump never said that and others said he said something but not that.  Is it too much to expect that what poses as our “news” media to actually know they have a fact before they start reporting on it?  Further, the view that deriding a country implies deriding it’s citizens is the Fallacy of Division (inferring fallaciously from the properties of a whole to the properties of its parts).  And criticizing the country can be part of an argument that the citizens need to be treated better.  Now how hard was that? 

One of the most important DNC hoaxes was the Trump-Russia collusion hoax initiated by the fake Russian dossier purchased by Hillary to cheat the American people out of a fair election in 2016.  Somehow what remains of the FBI apparently failed to notice that this was a Hillary-Democrat operation. Fortunately, this hoax was “obliterated” by the “Mueller Investigation” that failed to find evidence of Trump-Russia collusion, but the Mueller investigation managed to achieve its secondary goal of dirtying Trump up by a litany of smears, thereby distracting Trump from enacting the agenda the American people had voted for.  One still finds people to this very day in social media claiming Trump was shown to have colluded with Russia to steal 2016 election.  Talk about election interference!

Some did not notice the other Mueller-investigation hoax when, after failing to find evidence that Trump colluded with Russia, Mueller said that even so he “could not exonerate” Trump.  Disappointed that he could not deliver a Trump indictment for the DNC, comrade Mueller forgot that he is in the United States, as opposed to the old Soviet Union, where it is not his job to “exonerate” anybody.  In the United States, if the government cannot prove their case, one is pronounced “not guilty” and that is the end of the matter.  It is not the government’s job to go on and prove positively that one did not commit the crime (to prove a negative).  Mueller’s statement that he cannot exonerate Trump was another cheap smear when he failed to deliver to goods.

One of the most important DNC smears was Joe Biden’s lie that Trump has praised Nazis and White Supremacists at the Charlottesville protest against taking down the Confederate statues in 2017.  This, Biden claimed, in a fit of fake moral outrage, some very poor acting and a lot of yelling, was that he had to run for the presidency to remove the evil Trump. What a hero!  Although it took left-leaning “fact checker” Snopes 7 years to do it, they finally, unaccountably, acquired the ability to read in the English language at the 7th grade level and noticed that Trump had explicitly stated that he was not referring to the Nazis and White Supremacists who, he said, “should be “condemned totally.”  Well, well, well!  The entire Biden presidency built on a lie! Who could have seen that one coming from the man who was arrested with Nelson Mandela in 1990.  Were you eaten by cannibals on that trip too Joe? 

The fake impeachment of Trump over a phone call to Ukraine was exposed as a hoax when it became clear, after Biden was elected, that there is substantial evidence of Biden-family corruption in Ukraine.  That is, Trump was impeached for doing his job to protect America from foreign and domestic corruption.  Are we allowed to investigate Democrats anymore or is that now an impeachable offence?

It is also clear that the Jan. 6th Committee of Trump-haters manufactured a fake Trump-insurrection myth by, among other things, suppressing exculpatory evidence, including the videotape in which Nancy Pelosi on that day itself takes responsibility for the lack of preparations for violence.  It’s also clear that Democrat D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser did not want an armed National Guard presence to protect the Capitol.  Wasn’t the DNC storyline for the past 3 years that this was all Trump’s fault?  Can the DNC tell the truth about anything? 

One could go on and on in the same vein.  But it has become clear that instead of trying to solve the people’s problems, high inflation, the invasion at the Southern border, rampant crime, etc., the DNC is only interested in retaining their own power
by any means necessary”.

Further, and this is why they hate (and fear) him, Trump is not your usual Republican who folds immediately upon being called nasty names by DNC smear merchants.  Trump, warts and all, is a man, in the good sense of that word, in a decadent age I which both Parties prefer non-binary Peter Pan.  This is why the DNC is befuddled that none of their usual smear tactics work on Trump.  Further, the peasants are getting sick of getting played by the DNC and Trump is now admired for standing up to the onslaught and.  Trump now leads in all 7 swing states.

The reason the never-ending DNC attacks on Trump don’t have the expected effect is that Trump is not like any of them.  None of these dainty egos could take 5% of the “nonsense” Trump has endured.  Not even close. By contrast, Trump has emerged from the storm even stronger.
