Is Trump Just a Great Con-man?

 


When Trump first ran in the Republican primary, I was more a Cruz guy.  But when Trump won, I was comfortable supporting him.  He was saying what I wanted to say and in the way I would say it.  Trump was infinitely better than Hillary in every way and I was thrilled to see him defy all the pollsters and just run over her in the election results.

The 2020 election was stolen, obviously and blatantly, leaving us with what turned out to be President Cabbage Auto-Pen (AKA Joe Biden) and Vice President Cackle.  As you can tell, my opinion of the past administration is less than stellar.  The incredible destruction that was caused by four years with the office being "run" by a committee of un-elected fools is still being felt and will be for a long time.

The Lawfare against Trump, the "Russia, Russia, Russia" B.S., the assassination attempt, all just disgusted me and turned me into a whole-hearted, serious Trump supporter.  I've argued with friends and written many articles on both my blogs in support of President Trump.  I'm a big advocate of almost everything he says.  Transparency, border security, deport illegals, use tariffs, America First...above all, again, transparency...honesty.  Tell Us The Truth!

Cue Trump 2.0.  Up to now, he seemed to be doing exactly what he had promised to do.  The border secure and ICE deporting illegals by the planeload.  DOGE finding fraud, waste and abuse savings in the billions, USAID shut down and many government bureaucrats being sent off to find real jobs.  These are things we hired him to do.

But, I'm starting to have nagging doubts.  Although the Trump machine keeps telling us that inflation is down, gas prices are down and the economy is getting better; well, I don't see it.  According to Google, gas prices in January, 2025 averaged $3.08 while prices today average $3.17.  It's $3.19 down the street from me here in Montana.  I don't see that they have come down much, do you?

I went grocery shopping last week.  I spent a lot of money for three little sacks of groceries.  I can't say that I'm seeing prices coming down for anything.  I don't eat out much any more and the last time I did, I was shocked at restaurant prices!  Is inflation really coming down?

If Karoline Leavitt were telling us to just be patient, Trump 2.0 is only 7 months old and these things take time, I'd accept that and move on.  But that's not what she's saying.  I'm afraid that the Trump team is blowing smoke as badly as the Dems always have.  Tell Us The Truth!

Then...just last week, They finally stepped in it big.  After more than five years of being lied to about Epstein, the Trump Team tells us there's nothing to see here.  Ghislane Maxwell is in prison for sex trafficking...apparently, to nobody.  If she didn't have any customers, then to whom did she traffic?  Bongino put a lot of time into podcasts talking about the Epstein clients and the serious doubts of an actual suicide.  Now, Bongino says: "Move along.  Nothing to see here".  Bondi tells us that there are "thousands of files" on her desk, awaiting her examination.  Now, she says: "Nevermind".

It's bullshit.  What's worse is that it's obvious, blatant B.S.  Anybody can see that They are lying.  I can't speak for everyone but I CAN say that I, personally, am SICK of lying, elitist politicians!  I've seen calls for Bondi's resignation.  Why?  You really think she's doing this on her own?  Is it even remotely possible that Trump isn't still handling the reins on this?  One of the issues on which he ran was the release of the Epstein information.  Now, what does he say?  “Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein? This guy’s been talked about for years.”

What this does for me is it all makes me start to wonder about the whole Trump package.  As much as I hate to admit to being so incredibly wrong myself, I seriously wonder if the Dems could actually have been telling us the truth about him all along.  Is Trump just a very successful con man?  Is all this just an elaborate game that he's been playing on us? 

Just Who Is Donald Trump?  If he really is just a con-man who managed to cloud the minds of so many of us, what is his purpose?  If the Dems are right about this much, are they right about Trump's aims of total domination?  What have we gotten ourselves into?

I'm not too sure that President Bullshit Artist Supreme is actually better than President Cabbage Auto-Pen.
