In a comment on my recent blog post on immigration, Dabir Dalton wrote that “Perception and Optics are king,” M. Dalton is absolutely correct. The Trump administration gets bad coverage from a very hostile and often dishonest legacy media. It must fight especially hard to change the general public’s view and create a positive image for itself.
The first step is to create a comprehensive plan to deal with illegal immigrants.
The second step is to explain it and sell it.

This is the last comment on this post.
After reading Dabir’s latest comment I realized that we have an entirely different world view. Also, as someone who has deeplly immersed myself in 19th and 20th century history, I profoundly disagree with many of Dabir’s perceived facts and interpretations.
Goodbye, Dabir. I wish you well.

Executive Orders are how Presidents DICTATE BY FORCE OF LAW THEIR UNPOPULAR POLICIES and ENFORCE COMPLIANCE WITH IMPUNITY. That they could not otherwise gain support for by democratically elected representatives.
So far the Republican House and Senate along with the Passive Compliance of the Supreme Court. Has conspired with the current administration in their illegal, unlawful and unconstitutional expansion of Presidential Powers and Executive Authority.
Even now they are diligently attempting to manufacture “False Flag Events” in order to justify tampering in the 2026 midterms and in the 2028 Presidential election.
Our nation has been down this road before when American Capitalists funded Hitler’s rise to power and his unlawful seizure of total power in Germany.
Even as they deliberately rearmed Germany and built Hitler’s war machine in order to profit from the coming Second World War.
All of this is the end result of the woefully and willful ignorance of intellectually lazy voters.
And paid off experts who know better but remain Silent, Compliant and outright Complicit simply because their income depends on it.

I disagree with Dabir’s analysis. Trump is not nor will ever be a dictator.

Personally I believe that it is too late for the current administration to successfully change course…
They have lied so often they no longer have either the Credibility nor the Moral Authority. Much less the Trust of enough Voters to make a difference or change the outcome of their policies…
The United States has only two remaining paths it can take as a nation.
They are:
1) Revolution on the scale of the French and Russian Revolutions..
and or
2) Admit that American Voters elected our nation’s first dictator in 2024…
Either way the American Democratic Republic is poised to fall – a fall that can no longer be put off nor avoided, and will surely destroy the American way of life along with it…
