Between Donald Trump and the leftists, the political “war” has been declared for years. It entered a decisive moment just over a month before the last elections. But how did Trump fall from grace in the space of four years?
In the beginning, when he built buildings in downtown NY, Donald Trump was a pillar of the mega parties that were held at Studio 54 on Seventh Street in Manhattan.
He married beautiful models (the last of which knows five languages, as well as knowing how to unravel it even better than him in the part that history has assigned to her). He looked like a funny guy, and he still seems so, and indeed he is, with that orange scalp and the massive physique of a wrestler.
This bizarre New Yorker, even more bizarre than the average New Yorker, used to be the most powerful man in the world. But he has as well turned the most hated. It seems a joke, that in the world of Vladimir Putin and the Iranian Ayatollahs, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Kim Jong-un, “President Ping”, Raúl Castro, and Nicolás Maduro, the most hated is him, The Donnie.
Even more funny is that his main haters are not Palestinians, Cubans, Chinese, Iranians, or Syrians, but that they are Western and above all Americans. It is precisely the Americans of the left, the liberals, the voters, and the big shots of the Democratic party, his deadliest enemies. Obama, for example, who together with his fellow Democrats, in the days of the “Arab Spring”, cheered for the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt.
“To the Muslim world, we seek a new way forward based on mutual interest and mutual respect,” Obama declared in his first inaugural address. “The United States is not, and will never be, at war with Islam,” he had told the Turkish Parliament in April 2009. “America’s relationship with the Muslim community … cannot, and will not, just be based upon opposition to terrorism.… We seek broader engagement based on mutual interest and mutual respect. We will convey our deep appreciation for the Islamic faith,” the Foreign Policy reported.
However, Obama would not forgive Donnie for his steaming Twitter account and his taste for flashy, seventies disco ties.
In hatred of Trump, his often atrocious jokes, and his talk show bully ways, the American left has come to hate America too. True, he hated it before, since the days of Nixon and Reagan, and even before, since the time of Lyndon Baines Johnson a Democrat, the president of the “Great Society.”
How it started
This deep hatred for Trump first arrived on November 8, 2016, when Hillary Clinton was expected to celebrate her historic victory at the Javits Center. Political experts and pundits had predicted Clinton as the likely winner. The former first lady would become the first woman elected president of the United States.
“So many people are counting on the outcome of this election, what it means for our country and I’ll do the very best I can if I’m fortunate enough to win today,” Clinton had told a reporter.
The rest, everyone knows. The Democrats will not break the glass ceiling. She will not even come to console her faithfuls on the ground who had their mouths agape, and their teary eyes riveted on the huge screens which spelled out incredible results, while others were rolling on the ground in despair.
News pundits had struggled to hide their horrors and shock. “How do I explain this to my children?” CNN commentator Van Jones said.
From tears to hate
The narrative would soon change from tears to anger in the direction of Trump after the tsunami caused by his victory.
Very quickly, America is cut into two: one of the blue MAGA caps and another of the cities of leftist where the frustration of their defeat never digested. This gave way to a deep-rooted society of fury against the businessman that never stopped growing – even until the inauguration of Biden, who Trump would never accept a defeat from.
Trump and the Trumpians on the Assault
After the 2020 elections which Trump lost, he apparently stoked his fans, claiming the election was “stolen from him,” as per reports from the Time.
The thirteen-minute video shown by Democratic impeachment managers shows how Trump’s January 6 speech motivated and sent an angry and organized crowd to the United States Congress. The president’s phrases alternate with assaults, vandalism, crazy MAGAs with American flags used against the cops, and the Trumpian Ashli Babbit shot and killed.
“If you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore,” those were Trump’s words to the crowd, telling them to head towards the Capitol.
Trump shouts, “We will go there and I will be with you! We will go to the Capitol!”. And “if you discover a fraud you can behave according to very different rules. I hope Mike (Pence, ed) has the courage to do what he has to do”. And “fight like damned, if you don’t fight you won’t have a country anymore.” Many senators, who were at the Capitol during the assault, looked on with a shocked air.
Following the attack at the Capitol, Democrats also proposed reprisals against Republicans regarded as Trump’s accomplices. They demand not to install parliamentarians in Congress who openly supported his conspiracy theories and incitements to revolt that ultimately inspired the violence.
Racism, misogyny, free wickedness
As soon as his candidacy was announced in 2017, Donald Trump stigmatized illegal immigrants arriving from Mexico, believing that some “are good people” but that “most are criminals and rapists.” Black or Jewish communities are not left out, as evidenced by this anecdote reported by a former partner in a book: “Blacks who count my money? I hate that. The only people I want to see count my money are little kids. men wearing the kippah every day.”
Never stingy with a salacious comment on Twitter, Donald Trump has already attacked Hillary Clinton: “How can she satisfy her country if she does not satisfy her husband?”
The same tone for the boss of the Huffington Post, Arian na Huffington: “She is ugly, both inside and out. I fully understand that her ex-husband left her for a man: he made the right decision. ”
In 2008, the Republican candidate John McCain bowed to Barack Obama. Is this the reason why Donal Trump will dare to attack this Vietnam veteran? “He’s not a hero. He’s a war hero because he’s been captured. I like people who haven’t been captured,” the NBCNews quotes him as saying.
Trump has new legal troubles
Georgia’s secretariat of state in February 2021 opened an investigation into Trump’s efforts to overturn the election result in the state. Among the efforts is a (recorded) phone call to Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (Republican) on January 2 in which Trump urged Raffensperger to “find 11,780 votes” needed to make him win.
The transcript quotes Trump saying to Raffensperger: “All I want to do is this: I just want to find 11,780 votes.”
Meanwhile, Atlanta County District Attorney Fani Willis (very determined, not afraid of powerful men, daughter of a Black Panther) is deciding whether to indict Trump. And it would be a new legal front, Trump is being investigated by Manhattan Attorney Cy Vance and New York State Attorney General Letitia James, and then who knows.
“What I can tell you is that the Trump investigation is ongoing. As a district attorney, I do not have the right to look the other way on any crime that may have happened in my jurisdiction,” Willis told reporters last month. “We have a team of lawyers that is dedicated to that, but my No. 1 priority is to make sure that we keep violent offenders off the street.”
Hated in Europe
The majority of the people involved in a pre-election poll in seven large European countries wanted Biden to emerge as the president.
The very poor overall image of Donald Trump in Europe is coupled with a catastrophic detailed image: he is considered aggressive, demagogue, dangerous, racist, and neither honest nor competent by 8 out of 10 French people, indicates Les Echos.
With 54% of bad opinions, Donald Trump is an unpopular president in the United States, but especially in the whole world, except India. It registers on average 78% bad opinions in the 5 big European countries and 80% bad opinions in China.
However, it is in France that he is the most rejected: 85% of French people have a bad opinion of him. By contrast, his rival Joe Biden although little known to the French, enjoys a much better image balance. He is considered much more sympathetic (68% vs 13%), honest ( 65% vs. 15%), and competent (69% vs. 18%) than Trump.
Could there be more than meets the eye?
Yes, he is hateful, insufferable of rudeness and vulgarity. But could Trump have really been “cancelled” for trying to stop a new world order? From clashes over NATO, climate change, trade, Iran, and other issues, the rest of the West’s hatred for Trump may be these.
“What worries me most . . . is the fact that the rules-based international order is being challenged,” Donald Tusk, the European Council President had said in a G-7 summit. “Trump’s actions play into the hands of those who seek a new post-West order where liberal democracy and fundamental freedoms would cease to exist.”
To many analysts, the COVID 19 pandemic and the DAVOS agenda were used as tools for challenging Trump’s anti-West orders, therefore “canceling him.”
“The Coronavirus was unleashed on the world and Trump’s booming US economy went on life support. Do you think that was an accident?” asked Michael Matt, a contributor to the Remnant, and a political commentator in September 2020 even before the election that saw Trump ousted. “So when they tell all of us to stay home, where your mask so grandma doesn’t get sick, please understand what’s really going on here. They don’t care about your grandmother. They don’t care about old people these people. They don’t care about babies.”
“The game is to bring the United States economy to its knees, get it out of the way so that everyone will want the great reset, make the new normal so intolerably abnormal that even you and I will be begging for the vaccines,” Matt alleged.
Conclusion
Trump was against the freedom of the press and opinion, he was on the side of racist cops, he is in colludes with Ukrainian politicians, and despises women. But he has always been a man of controversies. He was hated by many before he came into power in 2017 due to his “behind-the-stage antics”, but still won.
While Trump’s public discourse is loathsome, could there be more to his despisal? Many pundits reveal that Trump is loathed for reversing Barack Obama’s legacies and weaknesses, from the healthcare legacies, racial justice, climate crisis, to immigration laws.
Analysts are also reporting that Trump may have been stopped or hated for revealing and trying to stop a new world order.
