One thing, I believe, that is really worth reiterating here - Donald Trump self-funded his own election.

All the American presidents, at least in the last 40 years or so, have had their elections financed - including Joe Biden. https://www.politico.com/news/2020/03/20/mike-bloomberg-massive-18m-transfer-dnc-138771

What is my point?

Not sure how many here are familiar with the term - Deep State. Unlike, say, the Iluminati, or some such organization, the Deep State is no such mysterious organization that have agendas that many mostly guess at. The Deep State are made up of Generals, senators or many of the un-elected bureaucrats that lie hidden in the American political system. Election funds for presidential candidates are generally raised by them. We have often heard the term that goes something like - the president or prime minister are only puppets of higher powers. In most cases these higher powers are the Deep State and their interests are only self serving - rarely for the people.

Enter Donald Trump.

I remember a speech he gave on his election campaign, although not the exact wording. It went something like - I want to stamp out corruption within the American political system. He is not beholden to any higher powers because he does not owe anyone for funding his campaign! And I think he has already shown this intent by sacking the former head of the FBI, James Comey and many others. I encourage many here to do your own research as to what is going on behind the scenes but it appears that Comey is linked to Hilary Clinton's email scam.

The point I want to make here is this. It is little wonder that Trump gets so much bad press. Whether it's warranted or not. He has made a lot of enemies since coming to power and I think it's worth keeping this in mind whenever evaluating a comment by Joe Biden or any of Trumps other detractors. In no way am I declaring that Trump is a saint but I do believe there is much more going on behind the scenes than is reported by the press.

Cheers

You'd have to be joking, wouldn't you?
