INSIDE LEFT'S SECRET PLOT FOR
COUP AGAINST TRUMP, 'They cannot allow the world to see
he could make the country better, by Garth Kant, 5/21/17, WND
WASHINGTON – The formula for a de
facto coup against President Trump is pretty simple and it’s happening before
our very eyes, according to one of the nation’s top scholars and most esteemed
political analysts. And evidence for that theory is backed up by equally
renowned political observers.
This is how it works, according to
classics scholar, Stanford fellow and National Review columnist Victor Davis
Hanson: The mainstream media pumps out
anti-Trump stories to undermine the president. That creates doubt and uncertainty
among lawmakers, especially those from “purple” states (those that are not
overwhelmingly Republican or Democratic.) Removing the support of the “purple”
GOP lawmakers gives Democrats a de facto majority to stop the Trump agenda,
even though Republicans have majorities in both the House and the Senate.
Speaking with Tucker Carlson on Fox
News on Thursday, Hanson described how it began with the creation of a
narrative of a failing presidency.
“What were seeing here, I don’t want
to be too dramatic, it’s sort of, historically, a slow-motion coup where you
have a nexus of celebrities, academics, the Democratic and progressive parties,
and then you have the media, and they feel they can delegitimize a president
with a thousand nicks, none of them significant in themselves, but they
coalesced to build a narrative that Trump is inexperienced, that he is uncouth,
that he’s crude, that is reckless,” explained the scholar.
Those small wounds take a collective
toll, paralyzing the administration and the government by disabling the
Republican majority. “Each day, the point is to drive his
popularity down one half a point, one point, until he can’t function in
Congress because purple state congressional representatives don’t want to take
the risk to further his initiatives.”
Hanson described how the mainstream
media doesn’t need to find any actual or provable wrongdoing by the
administration to keep the Democrats’ anti-Trump agenda in the headlines and
hobble the president.
“I mean we’ve had a whole cadre of
Washington and New York reporters that have done nothing other than, for six
months, using all of their tools at their disposal, their genius, their
experience to prove that Donald Trump colluded with the Russians, and they
can’t find anything. They haven’t spent commensurate time to look at who was
unmasking individuals. That may come out from the House Intelligence
committee.”
Even the Washington Post’s most
accomplished and famous reporter, Bob Woodard, has warned the media about
losing their objectivity by “binge drinking the anti-Trump Kool-Aid,” and
advised them to “Stick to the reporting.”
Speaking
on MSNBC Friday, Woodward observed,
“One of the realities we have here is we have a good, old newspaper war going,
the New York Times and the Washington Post and some very powerful stories.” “At the same time, I think it’s time
to dial back a little bit because there are people around who are kind of binge
drinking the anti-Trump Kool-Aid. And that is not going to work in journalism.
Let the politicians have that binge drinking.” Perhaps Woodward has been sobered
recently by the sensational anti-Trump stories coming from his own newspaper
that have turned out to be not true.
On May 10, the Post
reported that FBI Director James Comey
had requested more resources for the Russia investigation shortly before he was
fired by the president.
The very next day, interim FBI
Director Andrew McCabe contradicted that, saying, “I’m not aware of that
request, and it’s not consistent with my understanding of how we request
additional resources.” He added, “I strongly believe the Russia investigation
is adequately resourced.”
Also on May 10, the Post
reported that Deputy Attorney General
Rod Rosenstein threatened to resign after the White House said his memo
prompted Trump to fire Comey. The very next day, Rosenstein said
that simply was not true. Critics have cited a profit motive
for newspapers to publish what could be considered fake news.
An article on the Post in Lifezette on
Wednesday asserted, “Bashing Trump is good business, and the
newsroom has gotten the message.” The article discussed the reaction
in the Post newsroom to a story that claimed Trump had improperly divulged
classified information during a meeting, on May 10, with the Russian
ambassador.
National Security Adviser H.R.
McMaster forcefully called that story “false.”False or not, the story was
profitable. Lifezette reported, “At the
Washington Post, the newsroom broke into applause as the story surpassed the
Post’s own record for most readers-per-minute originally set by the ‘Hollywood
Access’ story, according to Glenn Kessler, the Post’s ‘fact checker’
columnist.”
Among luminaries on the left, it’s
not just Woodward who is worried about the current state of reporting at such
venerated news outfits as the Post. “I am appalled at the behavior of the
media,” lamented the influential feminist philosopher Camille
Paglia on Tuesday. “It’s the collapse
of journalism.”
“I’m looking forward to voting
Democrat again,” she remarked. But she predicted Trump would be re-elected
because, “I feel that the media has so utterly lost its credibility that I
think people are going to vote against the media again.”
Echoing Hanson’s observations,
Paglia charged, “Democrats are doing this in collusion with the media
obviously, because they just want to create chaos.” “They want to completely obliterate
any sense that the Trump administration is making any progress on anything.”
And why would they want to do that?
Rush Limbaugh had an answer for why
the media seem to have become so desperate to stop Trump they would resort to
tactics that would discredit their reporting even in the eyes of such as
Woodward and Paglia.
On
May 11, the top radio talk-show host
painted stopping Trump as the defining life-or-death issue for the left. “They cannot allow for the world to
see that something like this (the Trump agenda) could make the country better,”
Limbaugh explained. “They cannot permit that to happen.
They cannot permit Trump to improve the economy. They cannot permit Trump to
make the nation more secure. They cannot permit Trump to win in international
conflicts. They cannot permit it! It must not happen.”
He concluded, “Every victory Trump
has is just another sign of how useless and phony the establishment is.” How
does Trump fight back against the coup? He may have just decided not to play
their game.
On Friday, the Washington
Examiner reported the president’s
enraged reaction to a New York Times story that he was about to shake up his
staff and fire Press Secretary Sean Spicer. “F— the New York Times,” Trump
reportedly said. “They’re not our friends. We’re never going to win them over.”
