To almost nobody’s surprise, Twitter has “suspended” President Donald Trump’s account, ostensibly because he incited violence at the Capitol. The real reason is that Twitter’s executives are rabid leftists who hate the president and want him silenced. Barring an intervention by the United States Supreme Court, Joe Biden will be inaugurated as president on 20 January, which is just 12 days away. The last thing leftists want is for President Trump to provide a daily commentary on the corruption and incompetence of the new president and his cabinet.
President Trump has already tweeted the news—via his governmental account—that he is “negotiating with various other [social-media] sites.” He is also considering “building [his] own platform.”
President Trump needs to regain his voice immediately. He had 88.7 million followers on Twitter when his account was suspended. Most of them will follow him to a new platform. Even leftists will follow him, because their hatred must be fed. Do they even realize how boring their lives will be without President Trump to kick around? Every day, for the past five and a half years, they have hung on every word he uttered. They lied about him; they distorted what he said; they mocked him. They did everything they could to destroy him, but the one thing they can’t do is live without him. Like Rush Limbaugh, he lives rent-free in their heads. Come to think of it, how long will it be before Limbaugh’s Twitter account is suspended? I give it a week.
Leftists are obsessed with President Trump. It has just been reported that Google has banned Parler’s app from its store, and Apple is reportedly about to do the same. Why would Parler’s app be banned? Because President Trump might open an account there. This is anticipatory silencing. President Trump must not be allowed to speak to the American people! The tech oligarchs, such as Jack Dorsey of Twitter and Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook, are conspiring to keep the president from reaching his 75 million voters. Will CNN be next to banish Trump? Will other television networks follow suit? It would not surprise me in the least if Fox News Channel banished Trump from its airwaves, however costly that might be. Fox is desperate to get back in the journalistic “club.” What better way to do this than to jump on the Trump-silencing bandwagon?
Never underestimate President Trump. He is a master communicator and a street fighter. He will find a way to speak directly to the American people. He cannot and will not be silenced. He will comment daily on the Biden administration. He will remind Americans of how good they had it between January 2017 and January 2021. He will warn Republicans that if they run against him in 2024, they will be defeated. (Remember “Low-Energy Jeb,” “Little Marco,” and “Lyin’ Ted”?) He will single-handedly replace Never Trumpers, Trump Betrayers, Trump Abandoners, and Trump Doubters with Trump Supporters in 2022. Out with Betsy DeVos, Mick Mulvaney, and Elaine Chao, who jumped ship. In with Rick Grenell, Ron DeSantis, Josh Hawley, and Kristi Noem, who stayed the course.
It’s early, but I predict that Republicans—Trump Republicans—will take control of both houses of Congress in 2022. Two years after that, President Trump will join Grover Cleveland as the second American president to serve two non-consecutive terms. By November 2024, Americans will have seen what the Left is capable of, and they will not like it.
President Trump should promise all of the following:
To nominate even more judicial conservatives to the federal bench, including the Supreme Court.
To complete construction of the wall between Mexico and the United States.
To revamp the health-care system by promoting robust competition between insurers.
To clean up the electoral system so that only eligible voters vote.
To bring all American soldiers and sailors home, while reconstituting our defensive capabilities.
To rebuild the economy after the inevitable Biden disaster.
To drain the D.C. Swamp, especially the Department of Justice and the intelligence agencies.
To investigate the Clinton and Biden Crime Families.
To extricate the United States from whatever climate treaties Joe Biden negotiates in the next four years.
To hold China accountable for the COVID-19 debacle—and use the proceeds to compensate the American business owners who had their livelihoods destroyed.
To repeal Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which shields social-media platforms from liability.
To restore free speech and free thought to American colleges and universities.
It’s a winning platform. Not the least of its merits is that it will drive leftists crazy.
