LOOS ANGELES.–White House spin doctors, led by 81-year-old President Joe Biden’s campaign manager Jen O’Malley Dillon, continue to hammer away at Trump the Dictator theme, now using Oscar-winning actor, active Trump-hater 80-year-old Robert de Niro to deliver the message. Four years ago, Democrats and the press accused Trump of botching the Covid-19 global pandemic, letting untold numbers of Americans die. Voters were genuinely perplexed over the worst infectious disease crisis since the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic that killed 675,000 people. Voter were scared and, with the help of Dr. Anthony Fauci and Washington Post journalist Bob Woodward, both Democrat hacks, Trump was discredited in voters’ minds, largely out of fear. Now the White tries the same strategy warning the public that Trump would destroy democracy and become a U.S. dictator.
O’Malley Dillon grabbed the opportunity with the whole world watching the outcome of Trump’s hush money trial. De Niro showed up on the courthouse steps with the anti-Trump media praying for conviction to deliver the White House message: Trump the dangerous dictator. O’Malley forgets that Trump was president for four years and somehow America survived, actually thrived with a growing economy without inflation and no foreign wars. Under Biden, the U.S. has both inflation and foreign wars, this time a real doozey with a war in Ukraine against the Kremlin. Biden was the first president in U.S. history to go to war against Russia, upending generations of diplomacy, détente and arms control, designed to keep the post-WW II world at peace. De Niro tells the press that Trump is the hazard to U.S. democracy, not Biden who has the world back in flames.
De Niro says he doesn’t want Trump in his city, like he’s still playing in “Goodfellas” or some other gangster film. No denying that De Niro has been a gifted actor over his 60-year-old career, one of the best of all time. But when it comes to politics, he acts like an angry teenager. “The Twin Towers fell just over her, just over there. This part of the city was like a ghost town., but we vowed we would not allow terrorists to change our way of life. . . .I love this city. I don’t want to destroy it. Donald Trump wants to destroy not only the city but the country, and eventually he can destroy the world,” De Niro said, with CNN and MSNBC applauding. De Niro forgets the Trump is a New York City icon, responsible for developing some of the most coveted properties in the city’s storied history. Trump had economy growing without inflation and the world at peace during his four years in office
No one at the White House could get away with the rubbish spewed by De Niro, preaching to the Trump-hating choir, the same group the prays for a conviction in Judge Juan Merchan’s kangaroo courtroom. So where’s the substance in De Niro’s arguments, since he represents Jen O’Malley and the White House? Not even the most lunatic left-wing fringe suggests that Trump has destroyed New York City like Bin Landen’s Sept. 11 terrorists. How does Trump want to destroy New York City or, as De Niro says, the U.S? Unlike Biden, Trump vows, as a first order business, to end the three-year-old destructive Ukraine War that has all but destroyed U.S.-Russian relations, making the world a more dangerous place. How does De Niro possibly deliver lines such outrageous White House lines?. De Niro doesn’t speak for himself, he speaks for Jen O’Malley Dillon and the White House.
De Niro was openly transparent in delivering the White House rubbish on the steps of Trump’s Manhattan courthouse. “I don’t mean to scare you. No, No, wait—maybe I do mean to scare you,” De Niro admitted. “If Trump returns to the White House, you can kiss these freedoms goodbye that we all take for granted. And elections—forget about it. That’s over, that’s done. If he gets in, I can tell you right now, he will never leave,” De Niro said. Trump, of course, left the White House before Jan. 20, 2021 and would certainly leave when his term runs out. White House officials look for any scare tactic that work with Trump. He spread the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 and promoted race riots around the country in the wake of George Floyd’s death. That was Biden’s pitch in 2020. Now the new pitch is Trump the Dictator, he would destroy American democracy.
Watching De Niro give the White House pitch, voters need to pay close attention to the hypocrisy and factual distortions of reality. Trump did everything possible, including shut down the government on the advice to Dr. Athony Fauci, to slow the Covid-19 pandemic. Unlike the twisted propaganda of Democrat hacks like Bob Woodward, Trump ordered vaccine makers under “Operation Warp Speed,” to create life-saving vaccines. Biden and Harris said in 2020 the vaccines were a long way off. Only a week after the Nov. 3, 2020 election, Pfizer released the first MRNA Covid-19 vaccine. All the sick propaganda about Trump continues with clowns like De Niro willing to serve as a White House hack. Trump kept the economy rolling without inflation and the U.S. out of foreign wars. What has Biden done other that fuel inflation and promoted perpetual war?
