What Trump Could Do To Help His People

For millions of Americans President Trump has become the symbol, voice, and hope of saving their America  from  ongoing destruction.  Though the hope he raised remains spectacularly unfulfilled, he is still its recognized  representative.  Possibly his presence is now an obstacle to his program, but that can’t be helped.  There is no other populist  in sight with any significance, nor is the present Republican party likely to produce another one.

It is perhaps fair to say that Trump’s public role  has sometimes reflected more ego  than principle - he has shown more allegiance to his family and cronies than to his “people.”

There are two things that Trump could do now that would prominently show his leadership and care for those who follow him.  He has the funds to begin this and these efforts would soon attract other support.
​
  • A legal protection organization for the hundreds of people who have now been doxed, fired, prosecuted, and imprisoned for opposing the present regime, almost all of whom are his supporters, left to fight on their own against the vast apparatus of the government and its vigilantes.  Such an organization, with truly skilled and dedicated lawyers, could also bring to bear   the civil courts against such violent groups as antifa and BLM, an opportunity that the Trump administration failed to pursue.  This would both enlighten the public and protect his “people.”

  • A television and online news network. The whole apparatus of commercial TV is not needed. Start simply  with a broadcast of two or three hours each evening presenting the real news. Imagine getting out to the public the facts about the border, urban crime, Biden confusion, and academic insanity.  This would soon virtually destroy the power of the mainstream media. Such an effort would not be prohibitively expensive. Avoid all commercial connection and Republican party line.  There would be one major problem to overcome: finding the right people to do the job. The media culture is totally corrupt and existing personnel at the higher levels would have to be avoided entirely. Alas, finding the right people is not Trump’s strong point.

It seems evident that Trump  has never realized the  deadly ideological nature of the battle he is in - something more fundamental than personality and policy tinkering.  We can only hope that experience has brought him understanding.

Some people are seeing the light.
Trump didn't get into it too win, He was actually shocked it happened.
Step 2 was "Well now what do we do?"
Look who he kept for 4 years, They did him no favors.
He will ride the coat tails of will he run again or not. He will cause Kamala to win.
Trump didn't care about anyone, 4 years lost. 3 branches of gov. lost.
He is being erased faster than Odummy ever was.
Y'all got to move on, know that he will want the lights on him as much as possible, but he won't do it again.
I will use his own words against him, "I don't like losers!"
