Trump doubles down on "enemies within"

[Lazaran]

Vance goes like the weather vane.

What positive attributes does Trump possess?

Trump isn't intelligent or on the ball enough to be Hitler.

DonOld aspires to be Kim Jong Un…and falls short…

 

[Rebel5soul]

A whole bunch of Federal Prosecutors are going to be floating resume's.

 

[ChinoMoreno]

A whole bunch of Federal Prosecutors are going to be floating resume's.

I like prosecutors who prosecute criminals.

 

[SgtSpiderMan]

Wow, adrina, anyone who doesn't agree with you is a trumper? He's the 2nd worst person for the job of President in this country. Only topped by kamala.

So if I understand correctly you’re saying Biden is a better choice than Trump.

 

[Bodington]

None of these things are anything that qualifies him to be president. Further these are actions, not attributes.

You specifically stated the Trump had positive attributes.

I'm going to be a stickler on this one. What are his actual positive attributes?

And yes I can completely have issues with that so-called assassination attempt, especially considering we've been given highly contradictory information regarding the nature of the injury as well as the extent. There is not even a single scar.

Can you actually list attributes? Or are you going to find just a few items? Because realistically if you want to cover the man's almost 80 years in existence and you can only find five things to post, some of which is dubious, it does not speak well for Trump. Or you.

You have intimated that I disappear when confronted by a rebuttal especially by you, where my point of view is supposedly refuted persuasively. As you will notice from my avatar, I’ve been a member of Literotica since Oct 2009, and have contributed less than 200 postings overall during this time, the vast majority of them appear in the author’s hangout forum; a sharp contrast to your experience. I devote most of my time for this website by writing and contributing stories mostly for the novels and novellas category. I am of course interested in politics and follow this election cycle closely. So periodically I glance at this forum just for amusement as some of the venom you Trump haters spew on these pages are truly ridiculous and unreasonable. That’s why I don’t mostly bother to respond as my detractors either resort to ad hominem attacks or otherwise provide lame rebuttals.

In this case I would have thought that you would have had the wit to discern the positive attributes that can be gleaned from the examples I have cited. Apparently, I thought wrong, so I’ll cross the ‘tees’ and dot the ‘eyes’ for you. The first example with the imprisoned Marine demonstrates his compassion and empathy- hello very positive attributes. He did not boast about this charitable action nor has he ever to my knowledge alluded to this in any of his public speeches. No doubt this is the first time you have learned of this action by Trump. This proves he is authentic (another positive attribute) in doing charitable deeds without giving any thought to advertise his generosity (Yet another positive attribute). Contrast this with Tim Walz who has consistently lied about his past in order to bolster his image and enhance his reputation. Kamala Harris’ claim that she had worked at Mcdonalds seems dubious uttered solely for the purpose to reinforce her bogus assertion that she grew up in a middle class neighborhood.

The second example with his supporters demonstrates kindness, thoughtfulness and appreciation; dare I say it – all positive attributes. It is also instructive that Trump sent Mark Meadows instead of a secret service agent or an available lower staff member or even a willing hospital worker to do this chore. Thus, it sent a message to the supporters that their prayers and support were sincerely appreciated.

I understand you weren’t impressed by the pardon of Alice Marie Johnson and still cite some offhand casual comments by Trump as proof that he is a racist. Actions speak louder than words, and I maintain that if Trump was a true racist he would never have pardoned her, and he could justify his non action since Obama did not see fit to pardon her despite two applications on her behalf by the ACLU. Incidentally, Trump also pardoned former Illinois Democratic governor Rod Blagojevich. There was no political capital or advantage gained as a result of this pardon. It was simply an act of kindness and a sense of justice. Dare I say it- both admirable attributes. My fourth example is a bald assertion that Trump has a great sense of humor and his speech at the Al Smith dinner is merely one example.

You say you have issues with as you suggest the “so-called” assassination attempt. You suggest there’s no scar on Trump’s ear. Are you suggesting that Trump was not struck by a bullet? Or are you suggesting there was no assassination attempt whatsoever? However, if you do acknowledge as fact the consensus news reports that Thomas Matthew Crooks shot eight rounds at Trump, one of them grazing Trump’s ear, before being shot dead on return fire by a Secret Service Sniper then I submit you can’t deny Trump’s reaction as being brave and courageous. Very extremely positive attributes indeed!

Finally, you suggest that I’ve only submitted five examples. How many do you require, 10, 50, 100 or thousand? Trust me it is an inexhaustible list.

I detect that you suffer from an acute case of Trump Derangement Syndrome. Luckily for you there is a cure! See:

I read this and still find myself asking if this is Donald J. Trump, known for being sued in Federal courts for discrimination and losing the case in his apartment complexes. That Trump? The one recently accused of saying, 'It doesn't take $60k to bury a F*cking Mexican!' That's a reference to a slain military woman somewhere in Texas on a post. That kind of racist Trump?

Not seeing the same picture you paint. Then again I've been reading more about Trump the past few years than I care to.

Trump: a convicted felon, convicted sex offender, indicted for violating National Security Act, sued for slander and lost, and way more than five other 'not so nice things he vehemently denies [but did.] Is that the same felon-labeled D. J. Trump you are assiduously sugarcoating?

This recent allegation that Trump actually said “‘it doesn’t cost $60k to bury a f****** Mexican,’ is attributed to unnamed apparent attendee(s) to a meeting at the White House in Dec 2020. Named attendees at this meeting such as Mark Meadows, Trump’s chief of staff and Kash Patel, former Pentagon Chief of Staff deny Trump had said that. Apparently the unidentified attendees did not make such an accusation at the time but only recently this allegation has surfaced curiously so close to the election.

In addition Mayra Guillen sister to the slain military woman posted on “X”

“Wow. I don’t appreciate how you are exploiting my sister’s death for politics- hurtful & disrespectful to the important changes she made for service members. President Donald Trump did nothing but show respect to my family & Vanessa. In fact, I voted for President Trump today.”

That’s why I don’t mostly bother to respond as my detractors either resort to ad hominem attacks or otherwise provide lame rebuttals.

You can make all the excuses you want. We were engaged in a discussion, I put in the time to make a thoughtful and detailed post. And it was all for nothing.

I recommend you stick with writing as opposed to posting. Because if you approached writing like you approach posting you would not be considered a serious writer. We all have our priorities I guess, but don't bother thinking you actually have a serious moment when it comes to political commentary.

In this case I would have thought that you would have had the wit to discern the positive attributes that can be gleaned from the examples I have cited. Apparently, I thought wrong, so I’ll cross the ‘tees’ and dot the ‘eyes’ for you. The first example with the imprisoned Marine demonstrates his compassion and empathy- hello very positive attributes.

Kamala Harris’ claim that she had worked at Mcdonalds seems dubious uttered solely for the purpose to reinforce her bogus assertion that she grew up in a middle class neighborhood.

Let me get this straight, you want to try to tell me that Trump is kind, compassionate, empathetic and charitable? The same man that threatened it to have people beat up at his rally for disagreeing with him, the man who is threatening to use the department of Justice to go after those who disagree with him. The man who says he can just grab women by the pussy, the man who uses national disasters as photo ops is empathetic?

All of the examples that you listed are actually pointed to the transactional nature of trump. Everything that he does is geared around what it will do for him. The fact that you don't see this makes all of you perceptions up for questioning.

You're accusations for Harris and Walz are based in propaganda. Something that you trumpers specialize in. We literally have trumpers every day sharing propaganda and fake information on this site in hopes of tearing them down. And you're trying to help. So your record of honesty is seriously up for question. Especially since you belong to a group that has promoted more disinformation and misinformation in America since the McCarthy era.

The second example with his supporters demonstrates kindness, thoughtfulness and appreciation; dare I say it – all positive attributes. It is also instructive that Trump sent Mark Meadows instead of a secret service agent or an available lower staff member or even a willing hospital worker to do this chore. Thus, it sent a message to the supporters that their prayers and support were sincerely appreciated.

Again you are attributing to him traits behind these actions as if he is not a person who has a transactional nature. You are assigning traits that you want to see instead of seeing the actual truth behind the nature of the man. Because you hate and fear liberals and democrats. And he encourages you to do it.

I understand you weren’t impressed by the pardon of Alice Marie Johnson and still cite some offhand casual comments by Trump as proof that he is a racist. Actions speak louder than words, and I maintain that if Trump was a true racist he would never have pardoned her, and he could justify his non action since Obama did not see fit to pardon her despite two applications on her behalf by the ACLU.

More assumptions. Again you ignore his transactional nature and deflect to your perceived sins of the Democrats.

at the Al Smith dinner is merely one example.

You say you have issues with as you suggest the “so-called” assassination attempt. You suggest there’s no scar on Trump’s ear. Are you suggesting that Trump was not struck by a bullet? Or are you suggesting there was no assassination attempt whatsoever?

Very extremely positive attributes indeed!

I'm telling you point blank we haven't seen any medical history on it. There have been multiple claims about the nature of the injury. From Trump himself. From his so-called doctor. There were pictures of him the very next day with not even a scratch. I have no idea what happened in Butler Pennsylvania but I can tell you the man was not seriously injured. I'm not even sure what kind of threat it really was.

He could clear up all confusion by releasing the medical report. But he won't. And you won't even bother to wonder why, and instead will somehow think that people like myself who want to actually see this report are some kind of threat to Trump and to the country.

Crazy.

Finally, you suggest that I’ve only submitted five examples. How many do you require, 10, 50, 100 or thousand? Trust me it is an inexhaustible list.

I would like you to be consistent. Which is something trumpers have a really hard time with. You you said he had positive attributes and then listed five acts that you assign attributes to. Quit reading into stuff and actually state facts instead of your interpretations.

Again more propaganda. I don't give a crap about TDS. Grow up and face the consequences of actually supporting somebody like Trump instead of blaming people who point out your foolishness.

Basically this entire exchange has just told me that your head is so far up Trump's ass because he reinforces that it is okay for you to hate and fear democrats and liberals. The man has torn the country apart and you celebrate him.

You are actually defending him for saying enemies within and you would rip Harris and Walz a new one if they did. You don't understand your own inconsistency or your own hypocrisy because you are too wrapped up in what you view as the liberals and democrats as being the enemy within. You are so extreme you actually agree with Trump. Don't you? You actually think Democrats and liberals are the enemy. Just say it.

Get it over with so at least we know that you can be honest for once.

I am only going to respond to this part of your rebuttal as it clearly illustrates that you’re the kind of person Pres Lincoln had in mind when he quipped “It’s better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.” The highlighted part is particularly apropos. Hello- A certain individual identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks attempted to assassinate Trump. Now, no one has alleged that Trump was seriously injured. Instead, it is suggested that he miraculously escaped death. It so happened he turned his head and as a result the bullet grazed his ear instead of penetrating his skull and instantly killing him.

You can’t be serious when you assert that you do not know what happened in Butler, PA on July 13. There is actual video footage easily available on the internet showing the actual moment when the bullet struck Trump. And there are a plethora of news accounts that detail exactly what happened that day. So, what do you need to know? I suspect, that as a Trump hater, you need to deny that Trump miraculously escaped death because otherwise you would have to acknowledge Trump’s reaction to his near-death experience was brave and courageous. That notion of course is unsettling to you.

All he has to do is release a medical report. I don't think it was staged, I just have no idea what kind of injury was sustained.

As to serious, you're voting for Trump - someone who says he wants to send the American military after American citizens who disagree with him politically. I can't imagine a more unAmerican and disgusting thing for anybody who is seeking the office of the President of the United States of America can say. You deflected from everything else I said and just focused on the assassination attempt because it is very convenient for you. But the reality is everything I said is not only pertinent but true. And instead of answering for it or even addressing it you hide behind convenient assumptions.

Ironically enough, something right out of Trump's playbook.

If you need to show yourself the door, please go ahead. Because once again you opened a conversation that you are not able to partake in.

I should have known to not waste any time on you once again.

 

[icanhelp1]

So then if Harris wins you're okay with Trump being labeled the enemy within and needing political asylum.

If Trump loses he retires to his Mar A Lago estate and enjoys the rest of his life.

 

[icanhelp1]

Trump is the one who's going to jail.

Trump will never go to jail.

If Trump loses he retires to his Mar A Lago estate and enjoys the rest of his life.

He never said that the way you wrote it. I wonder which Biden political appointee disclosed top secret Israeli battle plans. That is an example of what Trump described as enemies from within.

 

[Bettytheboo]

I'm not a political person and I'm not even American, however I do have close family in America.
Trump has lodged a formal complaint against or Prime Minister in the UK, Kier Starmer for interfering in American internal politics. For me this isn't a bad thing as I can't stand Starmer.

America is in a very similar position to the UK, in that politics has become toxic and divisive, I've never known a time like it. Political opinion shouldn't be like this. I feel there is a entity in all our political parties in the West taking over our freedom.

 

[icanhelp1]

Do you support this rhetoric of him saying his political opponents are the enemy within? Is that okay with you?

Cite where he said that.

 

[adrina]

Cite where he said that.

“It is the enemy from within, and they’re very dangerous,” Trump continued. “They’re Marxists and communists and fascists, and they’re sick. I use a guy like Adam Schiff because they made up the Russia Russia Russia hoax...”

Trump went on to single out Democratic California Reps. Adam Schiff and former Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

“The more difficult, the Pelosis... These people — they’re so sick, and they’re so evil. If they would spend their time trying to make America great again, it would be so easy to make this country great,” Trump said. “I’m not threatening anybody. They’re the ones doing the threatening. They do phony investigations.”

Trump has faced scrutiny since he said in an interview Sunday with Fox Business Network’s Maria Bartiromo that the bigger threat to the country than foreign adversaries was “people from within.” He added that any unrest from his critics after the election “should be very easily handled by, if necessary, by National Guard, or if really necessary, by the military, because they can’t let that happen.”

https://thehill.com/homenews/4936399-trump-enemies-from-within-comments/

There's quotes all over the internet.

He is quite literally calling his political opponents the enemy within. Then he named them directly. Called them evil. And doubled down on the military threat. All while claiming he's not threatening anyone.

I like presidents who don't need to have everything they say re-interpreted to be palatable to the general public.

Do you or do you not agree with the idea of sending the American military after US citizens who disagree politically? It's a simple yes or no answer. I'm not sure why you can't answer directly.

 

[Rebel5soul]

Wait until he starts gutting the alphabet agencies. The Totalitarian Fascists/Communists are going to really start screaming. The court shit canning Chevron Deference handed the administration a very powerful tool to start dismantling the 'deep' state.

Context!! Use "IF NECESSARY"

https://reason.com/2024/10/16/no-tr...ple-simply-because-they-oppose-his-candidacy/

"Never before has a presidential nominee—let alone a former president—openly suggested turning the military on American citizens simply because they oppose his candidacy," New York Times reporters Lisa Lerer and Michael Gold say in a "news analysis" published on Tuesday. They are referring to former President Donald Trump's comments in a Fox News interview with Maria Bartiromo on Sunday. Yet nowhere in that interview did Trump suggest that "the military" should be deployed against American citizens "simply because they oppose his candidacy."

"These misleading takes reflect the familiar tendency of Trump's most vociferous critics to exaggerate the evidence of his authoritarian instincts by quoting him out of context. That tactic is counterproductive, since it invites anyone who is even mildly skeptical to dismiss the broader case against him as fact-free hyperventilating. It is also unnecessary, since there are plenty of legitimate reasons to worry about Trump on this score."

Can Adam Schiff be considered an enemy from within, IMO A BIG YES. He used his position as house intel committee chairman to lie, to formulate a plan to depose a sitting president, orchestrate a conspiracy of lies and attempt a soft coup. He's a despicable politician and a true threat to our republic. He followed through with his conspiracy by pushing through the most partisan impeachment. You can add Pelosi, Waters, Green, Nadler, Clinton to the list. The military would not be used against these anti-American slimeball, the DOJ would be used.

As opposed to the Biden admin. that has now authorized the lethal use of the military against citizens. When the left levies accusations it's to deflect from what they are actually doing.

 

[Bn2f]

He never said that the way you wrote it.

Irritating that news has to be regurgitated and spoon fed back to you. The orange buffoon said it and the context was clear.

I'm not a political person… Trump has lodged a formal complaint against or Prime Minister in the UK, Kier Starmer for interfering in American internal politics. For me this isn't a bad thing as I can't stand Starmer.

I get that you’re not political but c’mon. What has Starmer done to upend your country in little over a month at 10 Downing?

 

[Bn2f]

The haters don't understand the constant attacks, prosecutions, and persecutions only increase his credibility. They still don't see how disgusted most Americans are by the condescension and attempted herding.

Cherno? The ‘haters’???
Do tell.
