If you rely on the msm, late night ‘comedians’, reuters, ap, foreign ‘news’, and dem mewlings in an election year for your information then you’re in for a big surprise. Trump’s not up for reelection and half the rino’s are announcing retirements before they get primaried. This might be ther chance to get rid of half the world’s problems at once. Virtually all terrorism is of the islamic variety and the majority of that is sponsored and funded by iran’s mullahs using the pallets of cash they were handed by ‘bam and byethen who refused to end their reign of terror and set up those who would for failure when they pulled their support out from under them, almost like it was on purpose…or to quote ‘bama “the future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of islam”.
The only way to even start seeing any sort of widespread peace in this world is to get rid of the source and as much as the sheeple want to say it’s the US and Isreal because they made the mistake of fighting back, it’s the ones who fervently believe that islam will control the entire world. You can’t talk to, reason with, or make any sort of permanent deal with a religious fanatic who believes they’re doing G-d’s (or allah’s) work. The best you can hope for is a short pause while they rearm, the yneed to be completely eradicated to the last one and even then they’ll be back in awhile after festering n the darkness for a bit. They don’t even have to go into the darkness now, too many braindead liebrals have taken them as an ideal rather than a threat and believe that as long as they’re going against Trump then nothing else matters…Europe is almost finished, Canada is hot on their heels, Minnesota, Michigan, new York and a few other states are trying to join the parade on the road to islamic brutality…pity, but that’s where appeasing islamists got us to and it’s almost too late to turn back, when people attack Israel for doing nothing except saying “NO, you aren’t going to kill all of us and take our country for yourself” and daring to fight back, then we’re done, get your quran and three stones to wipe your ass with because that’s next.
Irony Alert:
Progressives are marching and chanting, “Quit bombing the poor misunderstood Muslim victims of oppression! We’re anti-war.”
But if the Iranian people overthrow the Mullahs and form a peaceful government under the exiled Shah they’ll be screaming, “Break out the nukes already!”
They say the difference between genius and madness is a thin red line.
Trump’s enemies are quite convinced in his case it’s both.
From the beginning they hated him for what he could do to their grift.
Now it looks like the 4D chess analogy is proving true for both his enemies and his backers. We just don’t know just how deep his thinking goes.
When the Framers designed the Constitution someone asked just what sort of man could best be President of the United States.
Someone pointed to the chair with a sunrise carved into the back.
It was the one George Washington had been sitting in.
I wonder just where that chair is just now.
That chair’s still in Independence Hall in Philly. And I have absolutely no idea if Trump’s lost it and a tool for the lobbyists, or if he really is playing 4d chess, it could be either.
Difficulty Chris in understaning is that Trump still follows his own dikta which is, first, “create a buzz.” Thus, 2 opposing guys having coffee becomes “we’re in talks.” That applies whether he realizes he’s dealing with irrational bats**t crazy whackos, or not.

I don’t think it matters at all.
The communists want us dead. The islamics want us dead. The demonrats want us dead. Any other stray whatever want us dead. Go Trump!
We’ve had decades of anti-white rhetoric that has created an entire generation of self-loathing whites, and generations of non-whites that view hating white people as normal.
Trump is undoing this, finally fighting the real culture war. He’s also undoing a lot of bad policy decisions going back as far as Wilson.
He is keeping people off balance and pivoting so much they are getting dizzy.
Chris, you have my apologies for this horribly long post. But, for everyone to have a source of truth to copy and paste facts from would be great. Below is a verified post of a great deal of good done during the first four years. Imagine this all happened while his admin was being sued and prosecuted by the MSM and the Swamp. If this was overboard, again I apologize. Keep up the great artwork in both visual and verbiage!!!!! Thank you for making our feeds Great again.

Good point. I’d say the whole world wants white America to die and to take their shit.
Demonrats hate any success except
theirs.
We’ve had decades of anti-white rhetoric that has created an entire generation of self-loathing whites, and generations of non-whites that view hating white people as normal.
Trump is undoing this, finally fighting the real culture war. He’s also undoing a lot of bad policy decisions going back as far as Wilson.
He is keeping people off balance and pivoting so much they are getting dizzy.
You said what I wanted to say far better than I could.
Also, I love how you keep the subtle and not-so-subtle eroticism in these posts!
I just love, love, lover her posture. Marbles and,all. BZ Chris!

The more I hear about the banking cartels of the City of London, the more I’m thinking Trump is on the good side of the crazy/genius equation.
I think you’re right. Trump isn’t crazy. He thinks outside the box and he wins.
