The President Who Always Blames and Cries Wolf

“Emergency!” “Radical Leftists!” “Hoax!” “Witch Hunt!” “Fake News!” “I am Your Retribution”

"Those illegal aliens came from a myriad of situations, whether they were criminals or individuals that were taking jobs from Americans… And I'll tell you what, I'll tell you what's going to happen is, we're going to go even harder on the streets… If he releases those 650, we're going to apprehend 1,650 on the streets of Chicago… We're ratcheting operations up in Chicago… That's a very corrupt system in Chicago, whether it's those elected leaders like Pritzer or those out-of-control judges."

U.S. Border Patrol Cmdr. Greg Bovino, in charge of the immigration enforcement operation in Chicago, after federal judges/magistrates ordered a review of the 600+ detainees to determine which are eligible for release immediately (or can post bail) and which are too dangerous to release.

“The Democrats are doing everything in their withering power to push the Epstein Hoax again, despite the DOJ releasing 50,000 pages of documents, in order to deflect from all of their bad policies and losses, especially the SHUTDOWN EMBARRASSMENT, where their party is in total disarray, and has no idea what to do… Some Weak Republicans have fallen into their clutches because they are soft and foolish. Epstein was a Democrat, and he is the Democrat’s problem, not the Republican’s problem! Ask Bill Clinton, Reid Hoffman, and Larry Sommers about Epstein, they know all about him, don’t waste your time with Trump. I have a Country to run!... I will be asking A.G. Pam Bondi, and the Department of Justice, together with our great patriots at the FBI, to investigate Jeffrey Epstein’s involvement and relationship with Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, Reid Hoffman, J.P. Morgan, Chase, and many other people and institutions, to determine what was going on with them, and him.” 

Posts Trump wrote on his Truth Social, November 14th

We’re either watching the beginnings of a civil war or coup d’etat, on the one hand, or the Trump administration and roughly one-third of Americans are living in a parallel universe based on “alternative facts” (which do not exist in reality) and some rather extreme conspiracy theories. Trump’s Solicitor General, John Saur, made a fool of himself arguing before the Supreme Court that tariffs weren’t taxes and that under the guise of regulation, he could declare a continuing 50-year trade deficit an “emergency,” and impose an entire global tariff scheme. There is almost universal acceptance that Trump erratic tariff program has failed miserably.

As 70% of Americans polled are experiencing higher prices across the board – clearly due to tariffs and trade restrictions imposed personally by Donald Trump – Trump lamely presented the price cut in Walmart’s Thanksgiving dinner package, was 25% lower than last year, a his evidence that prices are falling… only to be challenged that Walmart had reduced the packaged items by removing chicken broth; fresh onions and celery; poultry seasoning; Marie Callender’s pecan pie; frozen whipped topping; mini marshmallows; Jiffy Corn muffin mix; and three bags of sweet potatoes. Three items also were downsized: cranberries (from a 14 ounce can to 12 ounces of fresh berries), mushroom soup (two cans to one) and crispy fried onions (from 6 ounces of French’s to 4.5 ounces of Kinder’s). So much for increased affordability and a good economy.

As ICE brutality is increasingly featured the news media (social and mainstream), combined with blue cities’ (some in red states) being quite literally invaded by federal or federalized troops, Americans are feeling very uncomfortable with what looks like a masked private police force loyal only to Trump and the transition of our military from the protector of our Constitution to elevating loyalty to Donald Trump above all else as the ultimate dictator over the military. Writing for the November 14th Newsweek, Hugh Cameron writes that Trump is also losing serious parts of this MAGA base: “Ten months into his second term, President Donald Trump is being challenged by the very base he prides himself on creating, and he finds himself besieged by an army of issues that could threaten his MAGA support and spell trouble for lawmakers who remain by his side…

"‘I think the MAGA base is splitting,’ said Peter Loge, a professor of media and public affairs at George Washington University. ‘Donald Trump will never lose his core support, but what it means to be MAGA or a true Republican is now suddenly being debated.’… Loge, a former senior adviser to President Barack Obama, told Newsweek that the combination of snafus embroiling the administration, rather than any one issue specifically, seems to indicate Trump might be losing his footing… ‘We connect the dots to make pictures, and the recent dots include Epstein, the election, the court being very skeptical of Trump's tariff policies, increasing economic insecurity, falling poll numbers,’ he said. ‘These bits of information, these dots, paint a picture of a presidency in trouble.’”

One giant wedge is Trump’s seeming guilt-ridden effort to bury the Epstein papers. Yet, he has failed to keep the GOP-led House of Representatives from passing a discharge petition forcing the DOJ into a public release of a mass of the relevant underlying documents which, if nothing else, show Trump’s longstanding knowledge of Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking network and his constant efforts to cover it up… thus keeping those documents from the public’s eye. Since pedophilia is one of the worst crimes to most of his MAGA base, Trump’s cover-up puts him increasingly at risk. Sensing that if he could just “deliver” that deep state pedophilia conspiracy that MAGA had assumed was purely comprised of high-level Democrats, Trump tried another stab at deflection.

The US justice department has confirmed it will investigate pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein's alleged links to major banks and several prominent Democrats, including former President Bill Clinton. On social media, President Donald Trump had said he would ask Attorney General Pam Bondi and the FBI to look into Epstein's “involvement and relationship” with Clinton and others "to determine what was going on with them, and him." Bondi later responded that this would be pursued "with urgency." Clinton has strongly denied he had any knowledge of Epstein's crimes.

Trump is aware that if full and fair elections were allowed for the 2026 mid-terms and the 2028 presidential race (whether can avoid term limits is still in doubt), it is very likely that the Republicans are likely to lose one or both the Senate and the House. Thus, his efforts at making sure those elections are rigged has become his obsession. Texas rigged their congressional maps at Trump’s request; California responded. Relying on a remarkably thin argument that California’s Proposition 50 was a racially biased effort – still governed by the remaining Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act that was otherwise eviscerated by the Supreme Court in Shelby County vs Holder (2013) – the partisan Department of Justice joined a lawsuit on November 13th brought by California Republicans that seeks to block the state from adopting a new congressional map and thwart Gov. Gavin Newsom’s plan to help Democrats seize enough seats in 2026 to control the U.S. House.

This wildly popular Proposition 50 California constitutional amendment generated 64% of the vote to counter that legislative redistricting effort in Texas favoring Republicans. Of course, the highly partisan DOJ did not file a comparable lawsuit against Texas that was equally biased. Trump has recast the DOJ as his private law firm, and combined with new private ICE police force, his almost total control of the military, a Supreme Court that has expanded the presidency into autocracy, over 100 state election officials ready to dismiss Democratic votes, and a Congress that is now mostly his aggregation of obsequious minions, he just might be able to stage a coup and assert actual dictatorial control of the country before the next election.

I’m Peter Dekom, and to those skeptics who say a dictatorship cannot happen here, I think they need to be objective, look around, and realize IT IS!
