Complaining that 74-year-old Donald Trump has broken with hospitable traditions in the formal transfer of power between incoming and outgoing administrations, Democrats and media continue to spew nonsense in the face of the bitter reality of the Trump presidency. Democrats and the media never accepted Trump as president from Day 1, not only not attending the inauguration but conducting an illegal FBI counterintelligence investigation AKA Crossfire Hurricane. Former President Barack Obama and his Vice President Joe Biden both participated in the spying campaign during the 2016 campaign and through the four years of the Trump presidency. No president in U.S. history was spied on by the former administration, invoking the nation’s national security apparatus to harass and torment the Trump White House. Biden was an integral part of the spying operation.
Trump’s supposed to follow protocol writing Joe a note wishing him good luck in his White House adventure. First Lady Melania Trump was supposed to host incoming First Lady Dr. Jill Biden in a welcoming tea: All very nice but look at the circumstances of Trump’s four years at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Fending of fake accusations of Russian collusion, while former FBI Director James Comey and former CIA John Brennan carried out Obama and Biden’s orders to spy on Trump and his campaign because former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton’s paid opposition research AKA “The Steele Dossier” said Trump was a Russian asset. No one in the Obama administration paid any price for illegally spying on Trump, his campaign and his presidency over four years. But Trump and Melania are supposed to welcome the Biden’s with open arms.
Was Trump really the one that shattered the norms or protocol when the Obama welcoming committee set booby traps and sabotaged the Trump White House from Day 1? Four days after the inauguration, FBI agents Peter Strzok and Joe Pientaka showed up unannounced at the White House to interview former National Security Adviser Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, claiming he lied about his contacts with Russia during the transition. Flynn talked with former Russian Amb. Sergey Kislyak about mending fences after the Obama-Biden administration left U.S.-Russian relations in shambles. Obama ousted 35 Russian diplomats from Washington Dec. 31, 2016, only 20 days before he left office. What was Flynn supposed to do, declare war on Russia? Yet Biden hatched the plan to charge Flynn with violating the 1799 Logan Act, preventing U.S. citizens from conducting U.S. foreign policy.
Biden said he wished Trump would congratulate him at the inauguration, knowing he participated in the unending spying campaign on his presidency. Before Biden left office in 2017, he had landed his 50-year-old son Hunter an $83,000 a month job at corrupt Ukrainian energy company. He helped Hunter and his brother James land a deal with a Chinese energy worth about $40 million. Yet the spying campaign went on with Trump, smearing his reputation as a Russian asset, letting the Democrat-controlled House harass Trump with baseless accusations leaked continuously to the New York Times and Washington Post over his four years in office. Even after 76-year-old former Special Counsel Robert Mueller cleared Trump of wrongdoing March 23, 2019 Democrats led by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) continued to accuse Trump of Russian collusion.
When the Russian hoax didn’t work, Democrat and the press accused Trump of blackmailing the Ukrainian president to dig up dirt on Joe and Hunter Biden. Pelosi and her lieutenants crafted more fake articles of impeachment once again to get rid of Trump. They watched their wishes vanquished Feb. 5, 2020 when the Senate acquitted Trump. How ironic that when the New York Post story broke in October 2020 confirming Joe’s corruption in Ukraine and China, it was suppressed by the media and social networks. Democrats and the media want to highlight Trump’s lack of hospitality to the Bidens but refuse to acknowledge that they never accepted him as president. Democrats and the press hounded Trump out of office but expect him to play phony parlor games, hosting welcoming teas and writing love letters to the new president. Trump isn’t a total phony ready to play those games.
For the better part of the campaign, Biden and his 56-year-old Vice president-elect Kamala Harris warned the public not to take any vaccine developed under Trump because it wasn’t safe. Soon as they won the Nov. 3, 2020 election, they pushed every American to take the vaccines. Biden said repeatedly in his debates with Trump that vaccines would not be developed for months if not years, telling voters not to trust what Trump says. Days after the election, Pfizer and Moderna announced the vaccines would be released in days. Yet Biden and the media blame Trump for the Covid-19 crisis and the over 400,000 U.S. deaths, something they used to hilt to discredit Trump. So when it comes to protocol, hosting teas and attending inauguration balls, the Trump aren’t interested in playing games. Biden and Harris have reigns tomorrow at 12 Noon, let’s see what they do with it.
