The New Resistance Against Donald Trump Has Begun

+

Readers may have heard about the “resistance” to Donald Trump from inside the Deep State and the media. It began immediately after he was elected in 2016 and continued throughout Trump’s first term.

Members of this resistance stole the name from the French Resistance, the underground movement that fought Nazi occupation in France during World War II. Members of the French Resistance were true heroes, and many paid with their lives.

Members of the anti-Trump resistance are cowards who hide behind their desks and bureaucratic titles to fight a duly elected democratic government and thwart the will of the American people. Still, they were successful.

Trump deserves part of the blame. Instead of firing 3,000 or more top bureaucrats, he allowed many of them to holdover from the Obama administration. These holdovers were a big part of the resistance.

Trump never drained the swamp because he couldn’t find the swamp. He had no idea how bureaucracies work and how powerful the placeholders inside them could be.

The examples are too numerous to mention but here are a few examples: Alexander Vindman (military) and Eric Ciaramella (intelligence) were the two mid-level officials who listened in on Trump’s short phone call with President Zelensky of Ukraine and leaked the transcript to compulsive liar Adam Schiff on Capitol Hill, which led directly to Trump’s first impeachment.

FBI officials James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok and his lover Lisa Page were the leaders of Operation Crossfire Hurricane that resulted in illegal spying on Trump and fed the Russian collusion hoax that paralyzed the Trump agenda for the first two years of his administration.

Democrats are now terrified that Trump will be reelected. They are not waiting for him to be sworn in again next January. They are starting round two of the resistance now.

Their efforts include preparing lawsuits to stop Trump’s plans for closing the border and deporting illegal aliens. Other efforts include rushing new regulations today that Trump will not easily be able to reverse when he becomes president, a practice known as ‘Trump Proofing’ the government. Some are working to change the definitions of employees protected by Civil Service laws to make it more difficult for Trump to fire bureaucrats once he takes office.

Let’s hope Trump has learned something from this 2016 transition failures and that Republican lawyers are just as creative as the Democrats when it comes to fighting back.
