There are many perceptions of Donald Trump.
Some think he is a patriot. Some think he is the lesser of two evils. Some think he is actually a part of the Deep State. Some think he’s controlled by Israel. Some think he has been fooled and misled at every turn. Some think he’s an egomaniac. Some refuse to get behind him because he pushed Big Pharma to come up with a Covid vaccine. Some refuse to forgive him for allowing the 2020 Election to be stolen. Some people hold on to one piece of what they consider evidence against him and refuse to consider the 99 pieces of evidence that refute their negative opinion of him.
The thing that many refuse to acknowledge is that sometimes, making the right decision isn’t that easy. Sometimes you have to take one step back before you can take five steps forward. Sometimes it’s less expensive to settle out of court for something you didn’t do, rather than to go to court, financially wrecking you and your family to prove your innocence.
In other words, sometimes you have to choose the lesser of two evils.
I believe Donald Trump is doing everything in his power to destroy the Deep State Cabal, and I believe the Deep State has and continues to do everything in its power to destroy Trump and keep him out of power. I believe Trump loves America, and that his number one priority is to protect and free America and Americans from the evil that runs the world.
I don’t think “America First” is a bad thing; it doesn’t seem like there are many willing or interested in putting America’s interests before others. It’s like we live in a “bizarro world” where parents put other children’s needs above their own children’s needs.
Look at Ukraine and Maui as recent examples; it takes extreme mind manipulation to view putting your country first as being racist, or elitist, or just plain wrong in any way. But that is where we are today.
Speaking of Ukraine, remember in April of 2022 when the world was obsessed with the Johnny Depp vs. Amber Heard Trial?
Depp was suing his ex-wife Heard for defamation. He claimed she accused him of being psychologically and physically abusive to her, and he claimed that in fact it was her that was abusive towards him.
I avoided the trial like the plague, I saw it as a distraction away from information that was coming out about the Ukraine Conflict, among other things. The only thing about the trial that drew my attention was hearing that Heard defecated on Depp’s bed, the way a cat would show they are upset they aren’t getting enough attention. This act was actually very apropos, in that it appears her exaggerated claims of abuse were all about getting attention as a victim.
Why do I bring this up? Recently, I watched a Netflix documentary series about the case. In watching the series, I became aware of how truly obsessed America was with the case. A large portion of the American public was hanging on every word said, and every detail that came out. The vast majority of America viewed Depp as the victim of not only lies, but of actual physical abuse. Heard was seen by most as a liar and maybe even unstable. Some thought she stabbed the “Me Too” movement in the back, and lessened the likelihood that victims of abuse would speak out in the future, fearing they won’t be believed and actually hated for their claims.
Don’t get me wrong; I am not suggesting Depp is a good person, or even decent for that matter, but going to court allowed the public to have a better idea of what really happened, or rather what didn’t actually happen. The trial was set in Virginia, for some strange reason, and it was televised. Many people who supported Heard before the trial quickly turned on her after the trial was under way.
At one point in the trial, Heard made reference to Depp pushing a former longtime girlfriend down the stairs. This was a rumor that was later refuted by the girlfriend (Kate Moss). Depp’s attorneys originally wanted to use the former girlfriend as a character witness to say he never abused her, but the judge didn’t think it was relevant to the case. But once Heard referenced the “fall”, it opened the door to bringing the former girlfriend in as a character witness. It gave more evidence that Depp had no history of prior abuse, and showed Heard’s comment was, in fact a lie. This was a real blow to Heard’s case, and she was the one who accidentally allowed the evidence into court.
Donald Trump is going to go to court in Georgia, and it has been determined that the court case will be televised. The revolution WILL be televised.
Like Depp before his trial, many people believe that Trump is guilty; ‘he is a criminal, why else would there be so many indictments on him’. A recent Emerson poll shows that 64% of DC residents would find Trump guilty in 2020 election tampering before the case even goes to trial. This is where we currently sit; Trump is guilty until proven innocent. The trial or trials are where Trump will be proven innocent of the charges brought against him. The trials are where the accusers will be exposed as liars. The trials are where evidence will be brought before the public in a court of law.
Like in the case of Heard, many people who currently support Trump’s accusers will likely turn on them once Trump’s trials begin and evidence is brought forward that not only exonerates Trump, but actually exposes the lies and liars that have accused him of wrongdoing.
I’m about to make three bold statements:
Trump needs to go to trial. In court, the truth will come out, Trump will be exonerated, and the accusers will be exposed.
Trump had to fast track a Covid vaccine in order to open up the economy again. According to the European Journal of Clinical Investigation, 71% of the covid vaccines adverse reactions have come from 4.2% of the vaccine batches. These vaccine batches represent 17 times more adverse reactions than they should. In my opinion, this is statistically impossible, and there’s that number again, 17. Trump told Big Pharma they needed to fast-track a vaccine, not poison a small percentage of the batches; in this, he had no control. And finally …
Trump had to allow the 2020 election to be stolen.
The Transition Integrity Project (TIP)
TIP was launched in late 2019 out of concern that the Trump Administration may seek to manipulate, ignore, undermine or disrupt the 2020 presidential election and transition process.
Remember, this was months before the first Covid-positive American entered SeaTac airport, having arrived from Wuhan, China and having gone back to his nursing home just north of Seattle, and several months before the Covid lockdowns began. TIP, a group of far-left leaning Americans decided they needed to war-game a scenario where Trump was re-elected, or refused to leave office.
This group was founded and led by an American law professor named Rosa Brooks. Brooks is also a journalist, author and commentator on foreign policy. She attended Harvard, Yale and Oxford, as have many other British Cabal puppets. Brooks has served on the Board of Open Society Foundations US Programs Fund and has been a consultant at the Open Society Institute. Open Society is, of course a Soros-funded organization.
Brooks’ partner in TIP is a man named Nils Gilman. Gilman is a Senior VP of Programs at the Berggruen Institute. The Berggruen Institute creates biotechnology that rearranges DNA to create new life forms. AI and transhumanism are also something they partake in. Gilman has ties to the Rockefeller Foundation as well as Noema Magazine, which is partnered with WaPo.
In June of 2020, within three months of the first Covid lockdowns in the US, TIP convened a “bipartisan” group of over 100 current and former senior government and campaign leaders and other experts in a series of 2020 election crisis scenario-planning exercises. And when they say “bipartisan”, it really means the group included Democrats, RINOs AND Neocons.
The group claimed they were planning for any type of election outcome, but in my opinion, the 22-page report really just shows they were trying to figure out how they could keep Trump from continuing on as POTUS.
The group looked at four different scenarios, including a close Trump win, a Trump blowout win, a close Biden win and a Biden blowout win. In all cases, they predicted Trump and his supporters would subvert the legal system and become violent.
They stated the results of the four table-top exercises were alarming. They assessed with a high degree of likelihood the 2020 elections would be marked by a chaotic legal and political landscape. They also concluded that Trump would likely contest the results by both legal and extra-legal means in an attempt to hold onto power. They said these claims were bolstered by the historical experience of Bush v. Gore in 2000 and other electoral dysfunctions.
The group was concerned that Trump would declare himself the winner on Election Night and would refuse to allow the mail-in ballots to be counted. They claimed voter fraud was virtually non-existent, but Trump would lie about it to create a narrative designed to politically mobilize his base and to create the basis for contesting the results should he lose. According to them, the potential for violent conflict was high, particularly since Trump would encourage his supporters to take up arms.
To give you an idea of how delusional and biased this group is, they stated Trump deployed agents from Homeland Security to Portland to suppress “racial justice protestors”.
Translation: Trump sent Federal agents to stop Antifa from terrorizing Portland.
In every scenario that the group war-gamed, Trump and his supporters subverted the legal system and became violent, and in every scenario, Biden and his supporters worked within the law and were peaceful. They even predicted that if Trump won and Biden supporters protested, it would be Trump supporters disguised as Biden supporters that would actually be the ones that would cause violence. This sounds eerily similar to what happened at J6, but in that case, it may have been Biden’s people disguised as Trump supporters.
Interestingly, the group thought if Trump lost, he would use Bill Barr to subvert the legal system and use the DOJ and their resources to stay in office, refusing to leave. They claimed Trump would federalize the National Guard or invoke the Insurrection Act to deploy active-duty military domestically, and that the DOJ would provide legal cover for his actions. They even suggested Trump would force the Postmaster General to seize ballots going through the mail.
If Trump conceded to election defeat, the TIP group believed that, before leaving office, Trump would maximize the flow of federal money into Trump businesses. He would negotiate business deals with foreign countries, and purge documents that might incriminate foreign governments and business partners. While still in the White House, Trump would launch “MAGA TV,” possibly headed by his son-in-law, Jared Kushner.
These people accuse Trump of the crimes they actually commit. They surmised Trump would pardon himself, his family and his associates. He might even initiate a foreign crisis shortly after the election or during the transition to change the media narrative. Shortly after the election loss, Trump’s people would claim Biden had a heart attack and was unfit to serve as POTUS.
If Trump won, the group concluded that Trump would consolidate power and the GOP would maximize control through redistricting, ensuring democrats would never regain control again.
If Trump lost, the TIP group predicted that Mitt Romney would convince other moderate Republicans in the Senate to recognize Biden as the legitimate President-elect. Mitch McConnell would back Romney with the understanding it would be more beneficial for the 2022 election. Infowars would “dox” electors pledged to vote for Biden (put out names, phone numbers and addresses), connecting these electors to George Soros and child sex-trafficking. Conservative commentators like Rush Limbaugh would try to tie Biden to China.
Ultimately, they claimed that Trump would refuse to leave the White House.
Then, with a Biden win and a totally chaotic situation created by Trump, in early 2021, Biden would begin to unite the country again. (Hopefully no one was taking a drink of their coffee when they read that last sentence.)
This report put out by TIP is laughable at times, but also shows their intent to disrupt a Trump re-election. They insisted ALL the mail in ballots be counted, even if it took months and went well beyond January 20th, 2021.
Shouldn’t the mail in ballots be in alignment with the in-person voting on election day? Why would we need to count EVERY last mail in ballot? I think we all know the answer to these questions.
With dozens of predictions of how Trump and MAGA would react during the 2020 election, literally none of their predictions came true. How could a group of 100+ experts be so wrong?
And let’s not forget, this group formed months before Covid was even a “thing”, so mail in ballots wouldn’t be such a “hot topic”. It seems to me the main purpose of this group was to ensure that all mail-in ballots be counted. And again, mail-in ballots were determined by them to be necessary months later after the Covid narrative was dropped on the world.
TIP came up with zero successful predictions of how Trump and MAGA would react, but in my opinion, they were mirroring how their side would act; they showed us a little of their game plan. In the event of Trump declaring victory before every mail-in ballot was counted, maybe months later, the group predicted the Democrats would “encourage” CEOs to have their companies universally strike, essentially provoking a total shutdown of the country until every single mail-in ballot was counted.
As most reading this probably believe, many mail-in ballots are fake, so if they were all counted, it would lead to a Biden victory. This is what Trump faced: He could either stop the counting and face a corporate, nationwide shutdown of the country or he could allow the election to be stolen and avoid the immediate economic collapse of the US. And you thought your life choices were hard.
The TIP group also predicted a scenario where Biden lost, and the Biden Campaign later “encouraged” Western states, California, Oregon and Washington to collectively become known as “Cascadia” and secede from the Union. They also predicted DC and Puerto Rico would gain statehood, and another prediction saw California being split into five separate states to gain more control of the Senate—another idea that the founders of this group are very adamant about and was predicted was the eliminating of the Electoral College.
It’s interesting to me that almost everything the group predicted Trump and MAGA would do has actually been done by the Biden Administration.
The Biden Administration has weaponized the DOJ, enriched the Biden family through illegal, foreign business dealings, turned peaceful protests violent by posing as the opposition, as well as suppressed free speech. I believe the things they predicted the Biden Campaign would do—a nationwide strike, seceding of states as well as the dividing up of states—were things they intended to do if Trump won or refused to allow the election to be stolen.
Sometimes the cure is worse than the disease, and in this case, I believe Trump realized that the best thing to do for the country was to allow the election to be stolen.
It’s like the Biblical story where two women claim to be a child’s mother and King Solomon decides the baby should be cut in half and given to both women. The real mother tells the King to give the baby to the other woman. At this point, King Solomon knows who the real mother is.
Trump wasn’t willing to destroy America, so he temporarily gave it up to the Deep State … at least partially.
After two and a half years of the Biden Administration running America into the ground, people are beginning to realize who really loves America. The accusers are becoming the accused. The tyrant has been shown to actually be the victim. The tolerant have been exposed as intolerant. As it is said, the truth can’t be told, it must be experienced.
The TIP group is so transparent, so hypocritical, so wrong about everything they predicted Trump and MAGA would do if he left office. They claimed Trump’s concern of election fraud was preposterous because election fraud is practically non-existent. Yet, their predictions of Trumps actions were based off the Bush v. Gore election, where they believe the election was stolen, and Bush and his people acted illegally to gain the office of POTUS.
Out of one side of their mouth, they are saying election fraud is virtually non-existent, and out of the other side, they are basing their predictions off of past election fraud. It makes no sense.
Trump needs to go to court to expose the lies, to get the truth on the record.
Trump had to fast-track a vaccine to open up the economy again, otherwise many, many more Americans would have suffered and died.
Trump allowed the election to be stolen under the realistic assumption the Deep State was willing to destroy America in order to regain control of it.
Trump made the tough decisions that no one wants to make.

For anyone that still believes Trump is a drug pusher - Absolutely NOT. One of his first minor appointments was to RFK Jr to help bring truth about ALL vaccines and RFK sued Fraudci with a result of admission that NO vax has EVER had a long term study for efficacy and potential harm. Point 1.
2. He is the king of Narratives and started speaking about HCQ before i even knew it was the antiviral i took in the 90’ to ensure i did not get malaria in the jungles of Thailand. He even announced he was taking it and then all the Dr’s showed up on the steps of the House in DC proclaiming we have a cure and quickly got censored and discredited. When that happened I learned that no Emergency Authorization Approval can be given to any drug due to there being useful therapeutic that was accessible to all which made up my mind then and there - never takin it ever! Then we learned that Ivermectin was even better and was also accidentally curing people of all kinds of diseases including some cancers.
3 - Then he “got” covid and recovered quickly and showed the world that even an old fat guy has nothing to worry about and then he went on public TV and said “ dont fear it! Dont let it consume you! Fighting the evil media as he so often did.
And 4 as Erik eloquently wrote he saved the Worlds economy from absolute chaos and destruction which was the deep state plan to introduce government payments and cbdc etc. The amount of crime, civil war and bloodshed that would have occurred all over earth is un fathomable- when 45 said he saved hundreds of millions of lives he was absolutely right and he was NOT speaking about some drug he showed that no one needed. And during this shitshow a Billion plus people woke up to the evil facts of Big Pharma and that there is very little anyone ever needs from these sick and twisted psychopaths.
If none of these things resonated with you and you still chose to inject the experimental drug and got sick then I pray for you and we know your pain as my wife and son and i have all lost people post vax but it certainly isnt 45’s fault.
God bless!
Excellent article. Should awaken some people to exactly what President Trump was faced with. A lot of devious nefarious actors out of Stanford as well!! Let’s not forget about Marc Eliascheister and Norm Eisenscheister!
