A New Mood Descends on America — and on Wall Street

And now we know that there are things impacting negatively on the stock market besides war threats from Kim Jong Un.  I hesitate to infer that Wall Street’s obsidian heart is somehow responding to the piddling trauma of Charlottesville and to the spectacle of the news media’s continuing, all-out effort to destroy Trump. The editorialists should be careful what they wish for, since the nation seems to be nearing a breaking point. Civil war has actually become thinkable, since the events that occurred in Charlottesville could conceivably occur in any small town in America that has a bronze Confederate soldier on display. If the alt-left’s antipathy should take a violent turn toward statues of Washington and Jefferson, then, yes, we might as well call it civil war. At that point, local authorities, outgunned by Soros-equipped brownshirts, will be powerless to resist the blood-dimmed tide.

    @ Jon and Pan

    I repeat:

    1) Well he may be a fool
    But he’s our fool

    2) President Trump would be wise to channel Huey Long, and step up his speeches at rallies to his base of just plain folks.

    Do you really think any TV speech of his would not be instantly savaged by the MSM?

    He was a “Little Slow” to comment on Charlottesville” and now is condemned by Republicans and Democrats as a “Racist Nazi and Klan Member.”

    They are all dying to get him out and Pence in, and will spin anything he does or says as grounds for Article 25 Impeachment.

    Do you really think there is any substantial difference between Pence and Maxine Waters?

    It is the difference between Lili St Cyr and Tempest Storm.
    One was elegant and sophisticated, the other crude and bawdy.
    But they were both in the same business.
    And Pence and Waters are also in the same business, taking it off for K Street bribes.

    He IS the Last Chance for the America of Eisenhower.

    He is actually doing something about Open Borders and Free Trade.
    ICE is being allowed to do their damned job and are deporting people who have no legal right to be here. Judging by the MSM sob stories about the deportation of “Dreamers” who “Want a better life” he is having an effect.
    Similar stories about NAFTA etc.

    Again I say, as flawed as he is with his endless Tweets,Trump is our last chance!

    In conclusion, we all agree he needs to “Take it to the People”.
    But don’t tell me, tell Trump!
    You can e mail him at :https://www.whitehouse.gov/contact

    I do a couple of times a month, telling him to go on the road and make more speeches to get the mob behind him.
    There is a nice little comments section for you to do just that!

    Don’t tell me, tell him!

    I wish I could agree with the assessment of John Jay, but Trump brings a lot of it upon himself. He seems more interested in his ratings, as if he was on TV then what really he should be focused on.
    Anybody with a brain should be on TV trying to get the American people on his side. Instead he chooses to twitter. Most people who voted for him including myself, were so against Hillary and the leftest oligarchy, but they ended up with this dummy! Most of the people I listen to, or asking for the Trump who was campaigning. Not the Trump who’s worried about ratings?
    It would be much better for everyone to read this: preparing for the coming collapse of the petrodollar system. Jerry Robinson
    I believe it’s important to wake people up, even the ones who seem so simple as to fight each other over extreme racism, when we both know it’s George Soros secret slush funds and paid off thugs. In a world that’s getting more orwellian all the time. It becomes obvious that man cannot rule men.

    War within our borders is here. Prepare! You can thank the corrupt, worthless, soulless politicians first. All of them! Whose greed and lust for power knows no bounds. Then the media for disseminating their own vile divisive hatred. Television has been the cancer eating away our society for decades now. It’s called moral decay!

    Hey yeah great idea : ) if only Trump had some trustworthy Congressman around him then his total inability to preside over the US probably wouldn’t even matter. In fact it’s possible he could carry on with his pathetic child like tweets and no one would hardly notice …. . brilliant ! However, one small matter though if I may, if anyone seriously thinks he has any genuine sincerity to support you in your obsessive faith objective when the going gets tough, then I must admit I hadn’t realised just how desperate you really are.

    Yes indeed, both entrenched Houses of Congress, worried about the loss of their K Street bribes, are growing increasingly desperate to remove Trump from Office.

    Right from the word go, when Trump declared for the Republican nomination, the attacks on him have been non-stop, and increasingly facetious and ferocious!

    From Peeing Russian Prostitutes to Joe McCarthy style baseless accusations of a secret Trump/Putin alliance, as one fantastic story after another is disproved, a fresh one is wheeled out. And no retractions or apologies for the previous slander and libel are forthcoming!

    Calls for his assassination by public figures and politicians are becoming more numerous.

    As a result of all this, his supporters are digging in their heels, and even those who held their nose to vote for him are beginning to like the guy more and more.
    The enemy of my enemy rule applies here.

    The msn.com home page has had such dismal success with their anti-Trump articles they have “Temporarily disabled the comments feature”. Because the comments are ten to one pro Trump and anti MSM.
    The effect of all this on Trump supporters reminds me of a verse from that old Randy Newman song “Rednecks”:

    Well he may be a fool
    But he’s our fool
    If they think they’re better than him
    They’re wrong

    President Trump would be wise to channel Huey Long, and step up his speeches at rallies to his base of just plain folks.
    The Kingfish knew how to work a crowd and get out the vote!
    2018 is approaching fast, time for POTUS Trump to endorse some trustworthy Congressmen!
