The
dinosaur media is having collective apoplexy over the recently released locker
room remarks that Donald J. Trump made over 10 years ago, as a private citizen, in what
he assumed was a private conversation. The faux outrage expressed by the media
and the political elites in the Uniparty is laughable. Most of us have heard far worse, and if we don't like what we hear, we voice an objection, ignore it, or walk away.
And if I had to guess, since Miss Universe’s (Miss Piggy)
complaints-for-hire about Trump were broadcast all over the place, and now we
get the locker room remarks, well, there will probably be some more October
surprises. And we can watch as more RINOs reach for their smelling salts while
withdrawing their Trump endorsements. Looking at you Rob Portman.
But those in the Trump basket of Les Deplorables, vulgar as they are, don’t seem to need their smelling salts. Many reader comments posted to various websites reflect
different values: voters prefer crude over corrupt. They may not like locker
room sexual braggadocio, but they’ll take that over a candidate whose career is a
litany of brazenly criminal actions. Trump’s words didn’t break any laws, get anybody
killed, jeopardize American security, or destabilize the Middle East.
When
Ted Cruz imploded at the RNC, mega-donors Robert and Rebekah Mercer withdrew
their support for his campaign and transferred it to Donald J. Trump. Yesterday,
following the media hysteria over Trump’s crude remarks, the Mercers reaffirmed
their support for Trump. ICYMI, here is their statement (via The Washington Post):
“If Mr. Trump had told Billy
Bush, whoever that is, earlier this year that he was for open borders, open
trade, and executive actions in pursuit of gun control, we would certainly be
rethinking our support for him. If he had admitted to Mr. Bush that he had
profited privately by allowing the sale to Russia of 20% of US uranium deposits
or that he had amassed his personal fortune not by hard work in the private
sector but by selling favors to foreigners on the American taxpayers' dime, we
would certainly be rethinking our support for him. If he had argued that he
needed both a public and a private position on issues facing the American
public, we would certainly be rethinking our support for him. And finally if
Trump had serially terrorized and silenced the victims of violent sexual
assault whom he feared could damage his political career, we would most
definitely be rethinking our support for him.
“Donald Trump's uncensored
comments, both old and new, have been echoed and dissected in the media
repeatedly in an effort to kindle among his supporters a conflagration of
outrage commensurate with the media's own faux outrage. Can anyone really be
surprised that Mr. Trump could have said to Mr. Bush such things as he has
already admitted saying? No. We are completely indifferent to Mr. Trump's
locker room braggadocio.
“The same media that resolutely
looked away when the most powerful man in the world, a sitting U.S. president
with multiple violent sexual assaults to his credit, snared an impressionable
young intern in his web and ruined her life, now expects us to gasp with
revulsion at Mr. Trump's irreverent comments. America is finally fed up and
disgusted with its political elite. Trump is channeling this disgust and those
among the political elite who quake before the boombox of media blather do not
appreciate the apocalyptic choice that America faces on November 8th. We have a
country to save and there is only one person who can save it. We, and Americans
across the country and around the world, stand steadfastly behind Donald J.
Trump.”
