TRUMP AND THE MONEY CHANGERS

  

Then Jesus entered the temple and drove out all who were selling and buying in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold doves. He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer’; but you are making it a den of robbers.” ~Matthew 21:12-17



Donald Trump is an affable guy. Anyone who knows the President knows that. One might think the hatred and vitriol aimed at the President would diminish two years into his term. So why is it growing in intensity?

The extreme anti-Trump positions taken by the current Democratic field of presidential wanna be’s is more a symptom rather than the actual reason for the hatred.

It’s one of the psychological tools of Marxism: accuse your opponent of the very thing you are  guilty of. So when, after two years of an “investigation” which in the end went nowhere, Democrats continue to claim Trump is covering-up his Russia collusion, you can bet it’s because Democrats are covering up their own collusion. And we are about to see the evidence thanks to AG Barr.

There’s a kind of fear the Democrats and many Republicans have of Donald Trump. He is that bold outsider who has walked into DC like Jesus walked into the temple and overturned the money-changers’ table.

 Oh, of course I am not for one moment comparing The Donald to Jesus. That would be absurd. Although I must say the President has been treated pretty poorly by the money changers, hasn’t he? And they are trying their best to crucify the President, aren’t they? But of course Jesus never had a successful tv show, so there’s that.

The reason for the fear and hatred in DC and the media is that they are, by all appearances, corrupt. I suspect the average American  thinks the top echelon of virtually every Federal Department, the Congress – House and Senate– every Agency, every branch of the military, every class of lobbyist, every embassy, the unions, the media, the healthcare system – all of it – is to one degree or another corrupt. And while Trump himself may or may not have some business corruption in his past, whatever it might be, it’s paltry by comparison. He has not been part of the deep-seated DC corruption. As opposed to our DC corruption, whatever Trump may have done in the past, it in no way negatively affected our nation.

Why is it that the Democrats have no concern whatsoever about the well-known corruption of their leaders both in the Congress and their Party establishment? Why do the Republicans not challenge what they see on the other side? Because they are all involved in this long-established tradition of corruption, and if Trump causes light to be shone on one, all the others may be exposed.

For example, a foreign power might pay a DC lobbyist to get to, oh, let’s say, a Senator or Representative, and to offer some reward for influencing a vote passing a budget element that funds perhaps a military project wherein the foreign power would have some interest. If the budget is not approved, manufacturers, shippers, State taxes, other middle men, foreign concerns, law firms, etc will all be affected. Thus Congress may approve budgets for projects which the nation doesn’t actually need just to keep the grease flowing among all the aforementioned. The grease being an amount skimmed off the budgeted amount by each player. The justification might be “Bringing jobs to my State,” or “National security.” This is what leads to $750 hammers.

Now what about the infamous Mueller report. $40 million? Do we know where that money went? Does it cost $40M to interview a bunch of people? To rent a special room and equipment for interrogations? For parking spaces? For secretarial help? To print the reports? What were the Democrat investigators remunerated, who in the end didn’t even answer the questions of the Democrats and their media partners who were hanging their credibility on the report.

What about the higher-ups in the FBI? The DOJ? The CIA? DHS the military/industrial complex and all the others? Their hatred for the President is actually fear. Fear that Trump will overturn their money changing tables.
