The difficulty of the past few weeks has been figuring out which of the many President Trump Christmas gifts to the American people is the best. This week featured the announcement of American troops leaving Syria (a Trump campaign promise). That Syria (and Afghanistan draw-down) announcement prompted the honorable General “Maddog” Mattis to announce his departure as Secretary of Defense. Then on Thursday, President Trump proved the detractors wrong once again as he pulled the rug out from under clearly shocked Paul Ryan, Nancy Pelosi, and Chuck Schumer. The Syria announcement in particular is an excellent example of the stupidity of President Trump’s policy opponents. The “partial” government shutdown is an excellent example of how to fight the Swamp.
Syria:
The opponents of President Trump’s announcement that he will remove American troops from Syria proved they are numb-skulls. Consider their reasons. Lindsey Graham and the delusional Marco Rubio (who for some reason believes he is a foreign policy expert) denounced the announcement and made all sorts of proclamations about the disasters to come due to the pull-out decision. Senator Graham summarized the case for those against President Trump’s Syria decision:
“When Obama pulled out of Iraq we knew exactly what was going to happen. The military told President Obama, if you leave now, the radicals that are still around are going to regenerate. And all the people who helped us in Iraq, a lot of them died. The same thing is going to happen in Syria,” Graham said. “Good luck getting somebody to help us fight this war in the future, Iran is going to be really happy, and ISIS is going to get a shot in the arm, and Turkey is licking their chops.”
Senator Graham and the Syria Stay cohort are flat out stupid on this matter. First of all President Trump is not Barack Obama. When Barack Obama cut and ran from military commitments it led to disasters because America’s enemies saw in full display the weakness of Barack Obama. America’s enemies loved weak Barack Obama because Barack Obama weakened America and strengthened America’s enemies. In contrast President Trump’s decision to get out of Syria is a sign of strength.
Recall, President Trump campaigned against ceaseless American military adventures and interventions world-wide, specifically in Syria and President Trump continues to keep his promises. Most importantly however, President Trump is making a very wise decision on Syria because President Trump will target the real enemy, which is not Syria nor ISIS. It is on this point that Senators Graham and Rubio and the other opponents of this decision on Syria prove they are particularly dumb. That’s because – THE REAL ENEMY IS IRAN.
President Trump is not about to pour endless resources and decades more of war in Syria and the middle east which weaken America by draining its economy and military strength. That’s because in the middle east THE REAL ENEMY IS IRAN. Cut off the head of Iran and the Persian Empire of Terror and the dreams of hegemonic power in the middle east against America is over.
At this point in American history the dumbest of the dumb understand that the Iraq invasion by President Bush was a massive mistake precisely because the attack against Iraq was a huge gift to Iran. Iraq was an opponent of Iran. Iraq was a minor player in the region. Iran was the great threat against America and Iran was growing stronger and stronger. The Bush invasion of Iraq helped Iran enormously. The Bush invasion of Iraq weakened America, drained American resources, was a lunatic dream of the neo-cons who wanted to impose American democracy on a culture and society not interested in democracy because the tribal allegiances mattered more to them.
At this point in American history it is also very clear to even the dumbest of the dumb that Barack Obama, Obama Dimocrats, and Republicans such as Corker gave billions to Iran, helped Iran enormously, lied to Americans about their policy which was to deliberately help Iran in a delusional quest to help Iran transition to an American friend. President Trump has ended all that Obama nonsense and is targeting Iran with crippling sanctions as well as helping Israel/Saudi Arabia and other states such as Egypt in the region to target Iran militarily and politically.
When Lindsey Graham and the rest of the numb-skulls declare “Iran is going to be really happy” regarding President Trump’s decision – that is sheer stupidity. If anything Iran understands that President Trump is marshaling resources to continue to cage Iran because President Trump understands that THE REAL ENEMY IS IRAN.
THE REAL ENEMY IS IRAN. President Trump understands this. President Trump targets Iran. Lindsey and Marco are too dumb to see how smart President Trump is.
Mattis:
The resignation of General Mattis as Secretary of Defense was a reaction to the announcement by President Trump of the Syria pull-out and a coming draw-down of troops from Afghanistan. We admire and respect General Mattis but we are glad to see him and his many allies who think like him, leave.
General Mattis accomplished the job President Trump wanted him to perform. The military is now funded well and that is due in some large part to the respect General Mattis garnered from congress. General Mattis re-equipped much of the American military and also brought a sense of order. Having done his job General Mattis leaves over policy disputes with the President.
President Trump is systematically removing officials who disagree with his long declared policy positions. This is good. General Kelly will soon leave as White House Chief of Staff. Mattis is leaving. Secretaries of the various armed forces are also leaving. Their allies are also leaving. They are leaving because they have to various degrees done the job President Trump wanted them to do. Now it is time to restructure the various departments to do the jobs President Trump wants from them.
The Mattis resignation is less to do with General Mattis and more to do with the next phase of President Trump’s presidency. A great deal was accomplished in the first two years and now President Trump is ready to move to the next phase. This is all good. Big Media will proclaim it all to be “chaos” as Big Media has proclaimed from the beginning. But we see the order of the great vortex Trump who manages so well with his center of the wheel management style.
SHUTDOWN
A great tip for those who wish to analyze the political world is to turn off the volume when political figures speak. For example, watch Paul Ryan/Nancy Pelosi/Chuck Schumer on Thursday as they reacted to President Trump’s announcement that he would not sign a funding bill to keep the government open during the next few weeks unless money ($5 billion) for a WALL was provided. Paul Ryan’s blue eyes turned brown, Nancy Pelosi was discombobulated more than usual, Chuck Schumer was on the verge of tears, again. There was no attitude by any of these clowns of “great, now we can beat Trump because he has made a grave mistake and we are going to win”. The reactions were more like “who pulled the rug out from under us????? and how do we get our balance so we don’t come crashing down???”
Then came the vote at the House of Representatives which gave President Trump a victory, contra Nancy Pelosi’s dire forecasts about the impossibility of such a task getting accomplished. All the bravado came from the White House with President Trump and all the signs of defeat came from the Obama Dimocrats and their ally Paul Ryan.
Why was President Trump smiling and so happy? It is doubtful that the Senate will pass the House bill. It is likely there will be a partial shutdown of the government in time for Christmas. So why is this good news for President Trump??? Look to history for the answer and recall President Bill Clinton versus Newt Gingrich.
In 1994 Newt Gingrich Republicans won an historic victory when after 40 years they finally won the House of Representatives. The presumption was that President Bill Clinton was set back on his heels as he conceded repeatedly to the House Republicans on fight after fight. Then President Bill Clinton yanked the chain:
As the clocks struck midnight on Nov. 14, 1995, so began the longest federal government shutdown in U.S. history. For 21 days — from Nov. 14-19 and again from Dec. 16, 1995-Jan. 6, 1996 — nonessential government employees stayed home while their leaders fought to pass a federal budget. The shutdown was sparked when an agreement between President Bill Clinton and the Republican-controlled Congress (led by then Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich) could not be reached by Sept. 30, the expiration date of the previous year’s budget. In the end, the shutdown, which cost the government $800 million in losses for salaries paid to furloughed employees, was settled when Clinton submitted a budget that proposed to eliminate the federal deficit in seven years.
That showdown was the beginning of the end for Newt Gingrich. President Trump is planning the same for Nancy Pelosi.
Imagine what will happen if there is a partial government shutdown. Christmas week it won’t matter. Few normal Americans will notice anything has changed. The following week, on January 3rd, Nancy Pelosi presumably becomes Speaker of the House.
Pelosi will not be able to compromise with President Trump because the lunatic left won’t allow her. If Pelosi compromises to end the shutdown then she will not become Speaker of the House. The entire nation will see that Pelosi won’t compromise because all she offers is “resistance”. In other words, the moment the Obama Dimocrats take power in the House, total war will be the order of the day. President Trump will appeal to the nation to protect the borders. Nancy Pelosi will argue against national security.
Add to the mix that the only reason why Obama Dimocrats won the elections for the House of Representatives is because so many of them assured their districts they are “moderates” not leftist loons. How will these Representatives vote as counter-proposals emerge? How will the Obama Dimocrats in the U.S. Senate vote? Into this genuine chaos the Obama Dimocrats will fall as the master of the vortex laughs at their haplessness.
As long as the Republicans in the Senate stand with President Trump, President Trump wins. It won’t really matter what happens with the shutdown, because this is a war for the hearts and minds of the American public in the states that elected President Trump in 2016. Do Americans want national security or an endless stream of caravans loaded with an endless stream of illegal immigrants who owe loyalty to the nations they flee and deep down despise America.

Allegedly Republican analysts, as dumb as Graham and Rubio on Syria, recently ramped up attacks against President Trump. As they did when President Trump was about to sign TPP, the Paris Climate Accords before that, the DACA sell-out too, all the times these clowns proclaim President Trump will sell his voters out – they are proven wrong wrong wrong. Don Surber has fun poking the fair weather friends, the sunshine Patriots who wilt at the first sign of a cloud.
Our advice to Americans is “Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth.” This Christmas, President Trump is giving us some great gifts. Unwrap and enjoy.
