Dear Mr. Johnson,

I have always had a high opinion of you. You are enormously talented and a great entertainer. And there will NEVER be a better smack talker than you in the wrestling industry. Everything I’ve read about you tells me you are a thoughtful individual and an overall good guy. I was intrigued when you teased the idea a few years ago about running for president, and I would have seriously considered voting for you, depending on your positions during the campaign.

However, when I heard that you regretted endorsing Joe Biden in 2020 and that you would not endorse anyone this time around, my opinion of you dropped like a . . . dropped like a .. . . dropped like a . . . DAMN! What is that word I’m looking for? It was right on the tip of my tongue.

Donald Trump is crying about the Democrats rigging the 2024 election against him through lawfare. And he cried about the Democrats rigging the election in 2020. And he cried about both the general election and the Republican primaries being rigged against him in 2016. I discussed this in great detail in my column Donald Trump's History Of Crying "Rigged Election". 

Now you may be saying to yourself, "Whoa--did you just say that Trump accused REPUBLICANS of rigging the 2016 primaries against him?" Yes, I did. And the Republican he accused most often of this was Ted Cruz. Funny thing. That's not the only thing Trump attacked about Ted Cruz. Trump also attacked Cruz's wife and father. Let's see what we can learn about Cruz by reviewing how he reacted to Trump's bullying.

All right, boys and girls, gather round. Are you a Trump supporter? Welcome. Please come in. You are especially welcome today. In fact, today you get to go to the head of the line and take the comfiest seats so you can hear this wondrous “WHAT IF” story I’m about to tell.

Oh, I know I've been mean to your favorite President in the past. I've said that if he were Pinocchio, his nose would bump into the Andromeda Galaxy. And I've been rude to you as well. I've called you "Trumpanzees" hundreds of times on social media because I thought Trump had made monkeys out of you. (I know. Chimpanzees are apes and not monkeys, but I took poetic license.)

Well, not today. At least, not in this post. Today's message is too important for such childish nonsense. Today I have a sincere and heartfelt question I must ask you. A question involving Donald Trump and our national security. A question of "WHAT IF". I need to provide a little background before asking my big "WHAT IF" question.

Numerous Republicans and right wing media outlets have blamed Thomas Crooks' assassination attempt against Donald Trump's on Democrats who have said that Trump is worse than Hitler. Derek Hunter writes in The Hill

If you are willing to call your political opponent literally worse than one of history’s greatest monsters, is it unreasonable to think that at least a handful of your listeners — perhaps a few mentally unstable people with a political obsession — might take you seriously and act to stop the threat?

 

“Donald Trump is a genuine threat to this nation,” Biden said just three weeks ago. “That is not hyperbole. He’s a threat to our freedom. He’s a threat to our democracy. He is literally a threat to the America that we stand for.”

If you could go back in time and kill Adolf Hitler sometime in the mid-1930s, you would do it, right? So if Biden and Hillary Clinton believe their own assertions that Trump is an existential threat to our nation and our way of life, then how can they be happy that Trump survived the assassination attempt over the weekend?

The following are posts by Donald Trump as well as questions that Democratic candidates can use to question their opponent’s support of Donald Trump. Feel free to use these posts and my commentary for handouts. Your supporters may want to plaster them on posterboards around town or leave copies in laundromats. Or post images from this article onto your website. Feel free to use any of this to respond to tweets by your opponents. Be creative with how you use this.

It is a bit of an understatement to say that Donald Trump has not been known for creating peace and harmony within the United States. Ronald Reagan has gone down in history as The Great Communicator. It is a safe bet that Trump will not be known as The Great Unifier. Or so most people thought, until Trump was shot at his rally. Traumatic events can change people, and after that terrible event we were told by some of Trump's allies that Trump was different now. He was more contemplative, serene--even spiritual. They told us that we would see this dramatic change in his acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention. And indeed we did see Trump's call for unity to heal the nation within the first two minutes of his speech. There were three passages in particular that I will cite, with their time stamps below.

The Republicans are chomping at the bit to implement Project 2025 if Donald Trump wins the 2024 election. I had previously written that Project 2025 dovetails into Trump's plan to seek revenge against his enemies. I am not going to go into detail here about Project 2025's radical agenda, but I will point you to this video by Beau of the Fifth Column as a starting point to learn more. Beau is one of the most astute political commentators I know of, and it's a damn shame he doesn't have a show on one of the major networks. (Here is Beau's main Youtube channel.)

Project 2025 is about as popular among people who have more than a passing knowledge about it as root canals or cockroaches. Donald Trump is smart enough to know it is wildly unpopular, so he is doing his best to distance himself from it.

There are at least three lines of attack against Donald Trump that have flown under the radar that could devastate him during the campaign.

1. Trump can be easily blackmailed, and our enemies will use that against our national interests.
2. We are far more likely to have an intelligence failure because we will be flying blind in a dangerous world. Expect a 9/11 type disaster or bigger under Trump.
3. Trump has a long history of crying "RIGGED" when things don't go his way. Of course, he claims the 2020 election and his New York trial were rigged against him. And he is prepping his followers to believe the 2024 election will be rigged against him. But these incidents are part of a historical pattern that most people don't know about. (He has even claimed that the FBI’s crime statistics have been rigged because they show crime has been going down recently, and that does not fit his narrative of America becoming a crime infested hellhole under President Biden.)

You can learn a lot about a person by seeing how he talks about his former employees and how his former employees talk about him. I wrote a post back in June 2020 to examine whether Trump had kept his promise to hire only the best people--and I wanted used his own words as a measure to determine whether Trump had achieved his goal. Now it is time to write about what his former employees have to say about him. What they say about him could shed further light on whether Trump really wants to be a vengeful dictator or not.

Let's start with Trump's former National Security Advisor, John Bolton.

Trump is unfit to be President for many reasons. For the good of the country, Republicans must demand he end his presidential campaign immediately and permanently. Trump's become a joke boasting he can end the Ukraine war in 24 hours immediately after losing a sexual abuse and…

Dear President Biden,

Please give Michael Cohen a full pardon. I ask you this because he has more than earned it. I base this claim on three reasons.
First, he has admitted the depths of his depravity after what I am sure was much painful soul searching. He did not hold back in blaming himself for his crimes in service to Donald Trump. This is from page 105 of “Disloyal: A Memoir”

But here’s the ugly truth—a motive I shared with deep and abiding regret and shame, and one only unearthed after much soul searching and reflection as I painted the walls in prison and stared at the ceiling from my bunk. The real real truth about why I wanted Trump to be president was because I wanted the power that he would bring to me. I wanted to be able to crush my enemies and rule the world. I know it sounds crazy, but look at what Trump is doing now: running the world, into the ground, but still, he literally rules. Underneath all the layers of delusion and wishful thinking and willful ignorance and stupidity, I was like Gollum in "The Lord of the Rings", lusting after the power that would come from possessing the White House—'my precious’—and I was more than willing to lie, cheat, and bully to win.
