The Shiny Object Syndrome

"Peter" has some thoughts regarding Trump's indictment.

The trumped-up Trump indictment was not filed to expect a conviction for any crime. It was filed to distract people, like the shiny object used by a magician.

 

Since the announcement of the indictment, have we heard anything on the all-news stations about the invasion at our southern border? Or our catastrophic foreign affairs? Or the overwhelming crime wave in our blue cities, like Portland and San Francisco? Or our weak and woke military? Or the Biden bribery schemes that were advantageous to China? Or our failing economy? Or inflation?

 

The democrats know that indicting Trump guarantees him the nomination for POTUS. They want him as an opponent because they think they can beat him in the election. They think he’s vulnerable because people tend to believe that where there’s smoke, there’s fire and Trump has been accused of so many things by the democrats over so many years that people won’t trust him.

 

They don’t care about winning the court case against Trump, years down the road; they care about the election. They know he’s going to be their opponent because Republicans are so outraged at this indictment that, out of vengefulness and anger, they will vote to nominate no one else but Trump. They want another Biden-Trump contest where Biden stays in his basement and Trump goes from rally to rally, totally ignored by the press and social media again blocks conservative views from their platforms.

 

But we can throw a monkey wrench into their works by nominating someone else, like Ron DeSantis or Mike Pence.

 

Conservatives may believe that Trump is a victim and deserves the nomination because he was a very good POTUS. But he’s not more important than our cause. We must act pragmatically to win the White House and the Senate, and hold on to the House, without considering emotion or sentiment. We must have a nominee without a ton of baggage as fodder for the media.

 

Yes, the DOJ and FBI are corrupt; but that is a good reason for winning the White House at all costs, even if it means sacrificing Trump in the process.

 

We MUST stop the WOKE agenda and the nonsense of trying to control the climate. We MUST rebuild the military, especially the Navy, to check the aggression of China. We MUST become energy independent once again, as we were under Trump’s presidency.

Mike Pence is so clean he's bland. It has to be DeSantis.

Bideen flying the "pride" flag next to the US Flag at the White House; the new Space Force flying the "pride" flag at their HQ; Our embassies flying the "pride" flag; and what does the "pride" flag stand for? A sexual preference for the same sex. Does everyone else have a special flag to announce their sexual preferences? How disgusting for the LGBTQ people; but vastly more disgusting for our government and military leaders!

The left's assault on Trump is relentless, and I still have my doubts about whether he will get the nomination. His interview on Fox didn't leave me with a lot of confidence that he can win, but it's a long way to November 2024.
