As Trump continues to point out leads in important swing states, as numerous lawfare-inspired circumstances in opposition to him appear to the general public to be extra persecutions than prosecutions, and as Joe Biden seems day by day extra incoherent and misplaced, the left on spec has resorted to warning the nation about all of the supposedly catastrophic penalties of a future Trump presidency…
Sarcastically, the left appears oblivious to the fact that one cause Trump leads Biden within the polls is exactly as a result of voters can examine the four-year document of the prior Trump presidency to Biden’s final 40 months.
Lately, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez warned that Trump will conspire with oil executives to spike gasoline costs. However even after Biden drained the strategic petroleum reserve earlier than the 2022 midterms and is now once more doing the identical because the 2024 election approaches, gasoline costs have averaged solely one-third cheaper than below Trump.
Trump tried to prime off the reserve however was blocked by Democrats in Congress. Nonetheless, he left Biden a virtually full reservoir of 638 million barrels (about 90 p.c full), which Biden has now drained by some 270 million barrels to the current 51 p.c full—and the degrees are falling additional as voting nears.
We’re warned that 77-year-old Trump seems haggard after his lengthy hours in courtroom. He appears sleepy, we’re informed. He has aged terribly, the media inform us. However polls present that concern over Biden’s dementia significantly outweighs regular fear over septuagenarian candidate Trump.
Why would any sane pro-Biden handler carry up Trump’s supposed gait or occasional forgotten phrase when that solely reminds the general public of the distinction with Biden, whose speeches appear delivered in one thing aside from English and whose transcripts should be closely edited to airbrush away his incoherence?
We’re informed that Trump will improve racial tensions. Nearly day by day, blacks and Hispanics are warned that Trump is a racist—whilst polls present that he might nicely obtain the best share of minority votes by any Republican in trendy historical past and has some likelihood of profitable outright the Hispanic vote. Oddly, the media is now attacking minorities on the Marxist precept of false consciousness, as if they’re deluded into voting in opposition to themselves reasonably than being perceptive critics of the Biden catastrophe of excessive inflation, inexperienced mania, a deluge of unlawful aliens, and lack of deterrence overseas.
It was not Trump, however Biden, who, over the last election cycles, referred to as one African-American journalist a “junkie” and warned one other podcaster, “You ain’t black,” if he voted for Trump. And through his presidency, every now and then, Biden has referred to black subordinates as “boy,” makes use of the ossified time period “Negro,” and has a protracted historical past of racist drivel and smears, from “put y’all again in chains” to referencing Barack Obama as the primary “clear” and “articulate” presidential candidate to proudly reminding us that his dwelling state of Delaware was as soon as a “slave state.”
As Trump’s polls climbed and the Fani Willis persecution was sidetracked by her personal false testimonies, conflicts of curiosity, and the hiring of her unqualified clandestine paramour, hysterical cries mounted {that a} reelected Trump would use the powers of presidency to go after his enemies.
As Jack Smith’s federal indictment turned calcified over problems with presidential immunity, his failed efforts to ram by the prosecution earlier than the election, and his workplace mendacity over tampering with proof seized at Mar-A-Lago, drained warnings of Trump’s weaponization to come back of the forms mounted much more.
Now that the jury is out within the Alvin Bragg fiasco and his star witness, Michael Cohen, a convicted liar, has seemingly once more perjured himself and admitted to stealing $60,000 from the Trump group, Trumpophobia has additional peaked.
In different phrases, the extra proof mounts that Trump’s enemies have manipulated the courtroom system within the method that they beforehand impeached him twice, tried him as a non-public citizen within the Senate, sought to take away him from state ballots, rounded up ex-intelligence officers to lie concerning the genuine Hunter Biden laptop computer on the eve of the 2020 presidential debate, and have been uncovered concocting the Russian collusion yarn by hiring a overseas nationwide within the 2016 marketing campaign, paradoxically, the extra the left-wing media warns America {that a} President Trump would do precisely what they’ve been doing by emulating their weaponization of the courts, the forms, and the Congress.
It will get stranger nonetheless.
The left warns the nation that Trump will deport some or lots of the 10 million unlawful aliens that Joe Biden and his impeached Homeland Safety director Alejandro Mayorkas have intentionally welcomed in.
Think about the logic: the present president destroyed a once-secure border and, for political functions, illegally rendered immigration legislation enforcement null and void. However we’re nonetheless purported to worry his successor, who would resecure the border, return hundreds of thousands of not too long ago crossed unlawful aliens to their nations of origin, and restore the sanctity of federal legislation. In Orwellian trend, the Biden administration is now suing exasperated states which might be doing their half to assist implement immigration legal guidelines that Biden has intentionally shredded.
The absurdity extends to overseas coverage. Crew Biden and the media are issuing warnings right here and overseas that one other Trump presidency would tear aside the worldwide order.
Actually? Vladimir Putin has invaded neighboring nations in three of the final 4 administrations, however didn’t solely through the Trump 2017-2020 years. Why?
Earlier than October 7, even Biden Nationwide Safety Advisor Jake Sullivan preened that his Center East portfolio was “quieter than in 20 years”—however solely after Trump’s destroyed ISIS, took out the terrorist Iranian basic Soleimani, ended the disastrous Iran deal, minimize off support to Hamas, designated the Houthi terrorists, crafted the Abraham Accords, pledged full help for Israel, our solely democratic ally within the Center East, and achieved U.S. oil independence.
In distinction, Putin invaded Ukraine and should nicely take up a lot of its jap half. The U.S. suffered its best navy humiliation of the final half century in fleeing from Kabul and handing over billions of {dollars} in weapons to the terrorist Taliban, abandoning our NATO-allied forces, sympathetic Afghans, and American contractors.
Hamas killed extra Jews in a single day than any for the reason that Holocaust. A full-scale warfare rages in Gaza. Hezbollah has displaced hundreds of Israelis with its day by day assaults. And for the primary time in historical past, Iran has attacked in power the Israeli homeland.
China, with impunity, despatched a spy balloon throughout the continental US. Some 25,000 Chinese language male unlawful aliens mysteriously barged into the U.S. And China has helped kill 100,000 Individuals a yr by its fentanyl exports to the Mexican cartels.
Given all that, are we supposed to fret that “sharp as a knife” Biden’s disastrous overseas coverage might be ruined by a return to the peaceable document of the sooner Trump presidency?
So, what’s Trumpophobia?
The syndrome shows quite a lot of signs.
One, the left all the time initiatives its sins onto its opponents.
It accuses Trump of doing exactly what it has finished, as a means of avoiding blame for its self-inflicted disasters. And the left so vehemently initiatives as a result of it is aware of what it could do if it have been Trump and was handled as he has been by them.
Two, determined Democrats are scrambling to seek out some weird option to depose each Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, particularly ought to Biden have a disastrous, historic preconvention June presidential debate.
In consequence, the 2024 marketing campaign has by no means been about comparability of 2017-2020 to 2021-2024. However reasonably, it has already descended into the Democratic de facto smear that “Trump is even worse than Biden.” And that fixation instills fears of what Trump would possibly do reasonably than what he really has finished.
Three, the left feels Biden might do extra than simply lose the Democrats the presidency, Senate, and its shut margin within the Home.
His hyperinflation critically broken the center class. He turns them off along with his vanity, screaming speeches, loud, obnoxious gibberish, compulsive mendacity, and customarily impotent look.
His racial condescension and pandering idiot nobody. In consequence, Biden might nicely redefine the 2 events as race is changed by shared class considerations. Rich blacks might vote for Biden as a result of they’re black and rich, however increasingly more middle-class blacks might vote for Trump as a result of they really feel his insurance policies profit the center class like themselves.
The general public more and more agrees that the Democrat Social gathering is the occasion of the very wealthy, the bicoastal privileged, and the backed poor, whereas the decrease and center courses really feel much more assured and safe with Republicans.
4, the left fears a extra organized, savvier Trump second time period would possibly hit the bottom operating‚ and thus quickly and professionally instill a conservative agenda to cease the present neo-socialist revolution.
Given all that, 2024 for the left is little greater than “Worry Trump or Bust.”
