The latest tempest in a teapot comes from the hysterical, mouthbreathing anti-Trump media—-clottersnotters such as Robert Costa—-who are all a huff huff about Trump having dinner with Kanye, who brought a friend he had not told Trump about, Nick Fuentes. Fuentes is a so-called ultra-right “white nationalist” (yeah, a Hispanic, but you know these people have no clue what they’re talking about). West did not tell Trump in advance, though Fuentes was cleared by the Secret Service.
This in itself isn’t a shocker. Folks, as one who been to the Oval Office with President George W. Bush, and as one who has had security clearance, the FBI and other agencies doing background checks are looking for signs someone might be a threat to the President, not as to what they said on social media.
I can tell you that when I met with President Bush, along with four other historians, I guarantee you he didn’t know me or what I had written. He may have known Victor Davis Hanson, one of the other four, but I doubt he recognized the great British historian John Keegan, and certainly don’t think he knew George Weigl or Gabor Boritt. We were there to talk military history—-even though I was mostly an economic historian (but had recently published a book called America’s Victories, seen on the desk behind the President). My point is, the screenings are for safety, not for PR.
So even Fuentes said he did not think President Trump knew who he was. And let’s not kid ourselves, this guy is a total mental piddlepuppet. He once described the Holocaust as baking cookies. Yep. Still, I have met with plenty of unsavory characters, including Greg Allman, and had dinner with other unsavory types, such as Benji Shapiro. Ya meet all sorts, ya talk to all sorts. I’m sure I’ve even spoken to a DemoKKKrat once in a while, though not on purpose.
Just because I helped Greg get a can of Coke out of a machine didn’t mean I endorsed every lyric he ever wrote.
So what is going on here? It’s a two fold process. Forget whether or not Kanye is “running for president.” (By the way, don’t forget it was I, in 2017, who said he would run for president—-but after Trump as a Republican. So, I’m half right, half wrong. Sue me). Whether he is or isn’t this is a full-fledged attempt to take out Kanye because he is a truly independent, wealthy black man who doesn’t need the slaveowners in the DemoKKKrat Party—-and they know it. Next to Trump, he is probably more feared by the Deep State than anyone else. The fact that he would befriend Fuentes tells you more about his gonads than about his evaluation of character. He just doesn’t care, cuz you aren’t going to use the “antisemitism” brush to paint Yeezy with. He is the epitome of “don’t give a crap” and that is very, very dangerous to the Establishment.
The second objective here, of course, is to make Trump look like an antisemite. Yeah, how’s that workin’ out for ya? You know, the guy who did more to support Israel than anyone since Richard Nixon—-literally as he was leaving office—-was shipping a crap-ton of weapons to them that allowed Israel to survive the Yom Kippur War? (Didn’t know that, didja?)
Yes, you know, President Trump who moved the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem as almost every other president promised then didn’t; who mentioned Israeli security in almost every speech; whose son-in-law and daughter are Jewish. That President Trump.
No, this won’t work any more than all the other vile slime they throw at him, and yes, a new poll came out showing, once again, Trump beats Ron DeSanctimonious by 30 points. This full-court press to somehow keep Trump from announcing has failed, and now all they have is more of the “Access Hollywood” kind of stuff. It’s almost funny to watch the pathetic incompetence of these people as they try to stop Trump.
As Milo (who himself is back now) said, Trump has essentially been waiting for the moment, and that moment has arrived. The lion has emerged from hibernation. Watch out Deep State. He’s comin’ fer YOU.
