Why Trump is Not a Demagogue
Faith vs Flak
demagogue | ˈdeməˌɡäɡ |
noun
“a political leader who seeks support by appealing to the desires and prejudices of ordinary people rather than by using rational argument: a gifted demagogue with particular skill in manipulating the press.
• (in ancient Greece and Rome) a leader or orator who espoused the cause of the common people: the Athenian demagogues had definite and valuable functions within the state.”
populist | ˈpäpyələst |
noun
“a person, especially a politician, who strives to appeal to ordinary people who feel that their concerns are disregarded by established elite groups: he ran as a populist on an anticorruption platform.”
I was at a friend’s dinner party a few years ago and the conversation was turned to Trump. The individual chose to direct the course of a very brief dialog down the river of doubt, and the rapids became increasingly perilous, especially as we veered into Trump territory. I tried to wedge a word in edgewise, not so much coming from a defensive posture, i.e., who is right or wrong about DJT—and yet, interested in trying to volunteer a slightly different perspective on political strategy and the larger problems we as humans must confront when we see a global battle before our very eyes, aka ‘Good vs Evil.’
The woman who wasn’t interested in hearing my point of view (POV) fervently declared, “Trump is a demagogue!” And then, as if she was addressing an ignorant child, she opined, “You know what a demagogue is, right?!” I answered in the affirmative.
The emotional energy behind her rhetorical question— whether I know what a demagogue is?—seemed as if a hammer had come down to silence anyone who might dare believe that DJT was anything less than an orange-haired monster.
My POV was not of interest in the course of the exchange, and to use the slang of these times, the woman who ‘knew that I was bamboozled’ by Trump, clearly suffers from Trump Derangement Syndrome. The TDS virus always ends any meaningful dialog between adults; as I have painfully learned—with former friends who seem to take refuge in non-communication instead of the healthy, and often provocative, exchange of ideas and observations regarding important topics like: Indoctrinated Brains; Bernays and political propaganda; Media spin; Bolshevism and Woke; and especially BANK and a perpetual debt slavery matrix (aka, usury 101).
COMM-UNITY
Authentic ‘community’ is nurtured when true communication (open-minded dialog) is encouraged and cultivated. Communication is the key if Unity is to emerge as a possibility.
What is lacking during these PsyOp times is comm-unification.
‘Politics’ is simply a ‘forum for ideas’ which encompass the spectrum of well being for any society or tribal order. In ancient times, the political dialogs often embraced deeper investigation of the human condition, and how to manage resources in a manner that benefited the community. Creative Culture included the support for entertainment and dramatic theater. The Church was the meeting place where human beings joined together as a unified whole. The ministers and priests were in a sense, politicians—and yet (the enlightened ones) knew that God was boss—and not merely the ego-personality we see when we look in the mirror. When we speak of God, we are likely to find others who don’t believe in God. Just as our own personal political ideas might be met with dissenting voices, even when we strive to find common ground. Red state/Blue state…are both just a state of mind in the end.
As one friend said, “Everyone has a point of view.” We all have heard the variation on this, usually meant as a dismissive sleight when we come to the conclusion that disagreement will not be transformed into mutual agreement. “My way or the Highway”—has ruled the DC matrix for far too long—it’s really just been a game of:
Who gets the money and who gets to decide what to spend it on.
Along the way, scams and schemes and conspiracies which deceive the taxpayer emerge and create a bloated dysfunctional bureaucratic cluster-flock of carrion and reptiles—all feeding at the Treasury teat.
This long winded pre-ramble is my way of greasing the axle so we may drive peaceably down the road of unity, and encourage the possibilities for the greatest good. We’ve all had our fair share of friction, frustration, and unconstitutional taxation.
Eyes on the road—paws upon the wheel!
DEMAGOGUE…?
The street definition for demagogue may be akin to “rabble-rouser.” In another interpretation of rousing, or ‘arousal’, or ‘arousing the rabble’— awakening the common rabble may be applicable; especially in consideration that so many commoners are now aware that non-governmental agencies such as the UN, WHO, WEF, Bilderberg, and BIS are the regulators of global policy and legislation. These policies are often hidden from We the People, until the policies are initiated with new mandates installed at a state level.
A rabble-rouser like say, MLK, or Malcolm X, or Russell Brand, or Alex Jones, or David Icke may be a necessary prescription and antidote for a nation that is in a catastrophic state of governmental dysfunction, and wallowing in the sleepy compliance of its people.
In this regard we may consider that DJT is speaking to the will of the people; and therefore, the content of the man’s speeches are simply the inner voice of We the People. As I hear it, when Trump speaks about the issues that concern a vast majority of Americans, the vast majority resonate with the man’s ideas for creating a new America.
Where does the divide occur?
Even when it’s obvious to most sensible folks that open borders without adequate policing has also contributed to a rise in crime; and human trafficking, and a very evil drug racket- have all contributed to the degradation of our quality of life. Whether one feels Trump is playing role of POTUS for his own sake, or the sake of his family’s future, most adults would hopefully agree with his vision to make America great, and functional.
The accusations of Trump’s demagoguery dismisses the legitimate concerns and desired values of millions of voters—and in this sense we may think of Trump as a populist rather than blustering political hack with an under-satiated ego.
Whether one thinks that most of what we see in the news and on the screen is make-believe, or not, those who profess a Faith in God (and who uphold the sanctity of constitutional values, i.e., life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness) may hear DJT in a very different way than a person who cynically presumes that most Politicians are evil and bereft of human values. Cynicism is a filter, and is sometimes useful—especially when we are being bamboozled by PsyOp profit mechanisms created by staged Pharmedia-produced pLandemics or the next war.
Some critics have recently commented on DJT as a phony who used the recent assassination attempt to political advantage—even accusing him of projecting the forgone conclusion that Jesus, or God protected him— and therefore he must be the right man to rescue America, because God chose him. This doesn’t speak well for those faithful souls who are genuine believers with a spiritual-ethical compass attuned to the golden rule.
Making America great is not about one man, it has to do with a return to values that have been tainted by woke/DEI ideology.
The trivial assertions that DJT is only in it for the ego gratification are passé; (his motives could not have been only about the money, not realistically—he’s a billionaire) or that perhaps he had to get-even for the stolen election in 20/20—both of which don’t hold water from my vantage point. ‘The Donald’s ego’ is yesterday’s fake news.
We’ve seen too much evidence to presume that DJT is not a threat to some faction of the government (DS), much less as a threat to all the bad actors who’ve been pedophiles, or who have been blackmailed by deep state operatives (Media actors, etc). In this sense, an assassination motive is plausible—despite the way that the corporate media spins the current narrative.
The intel agencies have little credibility as sources for truth or justice and are also part of the narrative spin factory. Consider Assange as one example. Obviously Assange was a victim of a deep state smear job, and the corporate media played along.
[for the record, WikiLeaks didn’t dig up any dirt on the Donald as far as nefarious activities such as pedo-trafficking; black mailing politicians in Ukraine; or the assassination of Libyan president, Gaddafi (HRC was secretary of State in Obama admin when the Gaddafi hit was ordered.)]
The Farside of the Fringe…#17 on Cue!
I’ll make an effort to outline a few of the speculative details that might cast a shadow of doubt on the bad day at Butler.
the lack of security and oversight suggests a staged event, unless the scheduled ineptitude was indicative of a plot to take Trump out of the POTUS race. Which is it?
the evidence on the ground indicates that it is likely that there was more than one shooter.
could a ‘staged event’ create the coordinates that support a short-sell of the Truth Social stock?…or could such a staged event actually put money in the DJT coffers?
[in such a scenario, DJT would be playing a role akin to a sinister SPECTRE character. I have difficulty seeing the man in this role. Unless Trump’s acting chops are on par with Daniel Day Lewis or Brando.]
FAR FRINGE—
Is DJT a ‘Trojan horse,’ and in actuality just one more typical POTUS (chosen by the elite) as CEO for the bankrupt US Corp.? [again—acting chops, much!]
Considering the conclusion held by brave financial historians: the US corp. is officially bankrupt. In fact—the entire Rothschild CB system is defunct. The talk of the QFS (Quantum Financial System) can be seen as the beginning of the new golden era—and freedom from usury. This is where, “It’s going to be biblical” kicks in, and we might reconsider the actions of Yeshua when he threw the money lenders out of the temple. We are never going to hear career-politicians or banksters speak of this biblical allegory, apparently. Nor will we hear politicians or the media correlate ‘Usury’ with ‘Debt servitude’—which are one and the same.
FARTHER FRINGE—
I am aware that going down the #17 Rabbit Hole is a speculative (albeit intuitive) place to go, and no serious journalist will consider many of these contextual elements (right on cue) as relevant due to the difficulty in verifying the intel. After all, the #17 tweets have always indicated that there is a “Plan”—and the plan is a PsyOp, or 5th generational Military event, which is purportedly a counter-offensive designed to thwart deep state actions against the free people of Earth. The Plan has always been code for ‘white hats ops.’ In cinematic terms: a ‘Rebel Alliance.’
This aside, and now that the probability of an assassination attempt on DJT’s life is more certain than Joe Biden’s ability to lead a nation—and especially in light of security failures in protecting any presidential nominee’s life, it may still be useful to review a few coordinates re the plan, and the #17 intel breakdown:
recap in brief—
The Deep State’s Ultimate Playbook. The Deep State is no stranger to subterfuge and manipulation. Their playbook is filled with tactics designed to sow discord and destabilize nations. Here are some key strategies they employ:
False Flag Operations: Creating events that appear to be orchestrated by others to justify their actions.
Civil Unrest: Inciting violence and chaos in the streets to create a sense of instability.
Martial Law: Implementing draconian measures under the guise of restoring order.
These tactics are designed to weaken the resolve of the American people and pave the way for their ultimate takeover. —AMG
While watching the RNC gala last night I witnessed a sense of unity-purpose-strength-resolve-and party focus I’ve never seen before. What I am seeing has to do with the caliber and authentic voices of all the members who spoke this week at the Republican Convention. It was as if some quantum leap was in evidence and I was required to think more along the lines of Kamala’s cryptic poetry:
“…what can be, unburdened by what has been…”
In effect—I have to jettison my criticisms of former Republican party actions, and see the world with eyes anew. Thanks Kamala! [a creative imagination has its place!]
It’s a brave new Republican party, and dare I suggest that DJT has a hell of a lot to answer for!
How this translates contextually has to do with antidotes to chaos and violence—and in particular, remaining mindful that the chaos in the streets that was condoned and encouraged by the Left needs to be released—without the burden of blame, in order to move forward. Those events were deep state actions designed to divide We the people. It’s standard playbook evildoer stuff.
What has just appeared on the stage in July of 2024, is a counter-offensive (and prayer and biblical wisdom are at play as well) involving some very profound statements and declarations of intention that transcend many of the hackneyed political promises we’ve all heard in the past. It’s not so much a matter of the basic things we all need in order to thrive and enjoy a better standard of living— I’m hearing a unified voice for the will of the people via a new group of Republican representatives who are genuinely committed to sustaining the American potential.
Politics is a place where cynicism is at home—no doubt that this has been the case for many centuries. I realize that anything I might suggest as realistically optimistic can be shot down with one cynical quip or meme. And yet—if we are to rebuild this nation, perhaps it’s also realistic to suggest that this can only happen, one individual at a time— one community or township at a time—one reporter or website at a time.
Meaning: We are MAGA- in thought and deed.
Trump is no demagogue. A populist?…yes—undoubtedly.
Does he believe he is uniquely protected by God because he dodged an earlier retirement?…I don’t know, but if I ever meet him in person I will respectfully ask the question. Have I ever had a close call, and do I feel I had a guardian angel close by? Yes indeed… a few times.
Do I consider myself as uniquely protected by divine forces within this multi-dimensional paradigm? Only insofar as I am grateful to have protection.
God doesn’t play favorites. When it’s our time to depart we will be called home.
For now we have to play out this current chapter of ‘Battle for Earth,’ and Trump is an important member of the winning team.
Many blessings! …God Wins!
Great piece. Lots to think about.
A demagogue doesn't tell the hard truths. But truth-telling is Trump's best trait IMO: Trump stands up to the leftists, tells them what they don’t want to hear, and doesn’t back down or apologize. I love him for that.
That said, I’m writing a piece for next week that is anti-centrist. I have to disagree about “so we may drive peaceably down the road of unity”. I'm afraid the road of unity is the path of compromise and now it only leads to more Uniparty/RINO leftism.
"...the vision of a political rapprochement in which individuals from all corners of the polity converge in the political middle as they sing 'Kumbaya' is a dangerous fantasy..."

In the end, though, it doesn't matter what theory(ies) we believe in, it's time for us to stop looking for heroes in others and be the heroes ourselves. We have to stop waiting for daddy and mommy to get us out of the slumber we've been in for decades. It's time for us to gather together and create our own self-supporting communities. Let the psychopaths duke it out with each other. People keep forgetting that Trump is the torch bearer for the Zionists. That's a REALLY big issue to overlook, no?
