Now, I need to remind you that I am a TOTAL TRUMP OUTSIDER.

You couldn't pay me to get in the middle of the president's fight to save and rebuild the country.

This is because too many normies like me are seeking fame and fortune.
I would EXPECT Trump's people to ruthlessly use me, because my main motivation would be selfish.

And this is no time for kidding around.

Everything I write comes from my own diseased, shrunken brain.
Trump tweeted this a while ago. https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1265985660898459655
Now, my guess is that everyone is looking in the wrong direction, at the Communications Decency Act of 1996.

Section 230 "provides broad immunity to websites that curate and moderate their own platforms."
The theory is that Trump would rescind that legal immunity because social-media platforms are acting bad faith.

Although we may see an executive order ABOUT THIS, the REAL story is happening under the radar.

There are two reason why Trump is misdirecting.
As always, Republicans can be counted on to sabotage Trump.
"'I do think the President should stop tweeting about Joe Scarborough in the middle of a pandemic,' said Rep. Liz Cheney, a Wyoming Republican. 'He's the commander in chief of this nation and he is causing great pain to the family of the young woman who died.'"
This is the usual Republican refusal to fight back.

It's why they always lost to a party that offers nothing but failure and misery.

Trump's attacks on Scarborough serve a purpose.
Everyone is watching the Democrats, the press, and loser-Republicans turn on a dime and loudly condemn "spreading conspiracy theories," even though the Democrats, CIA, and FBI were involved in REAL conspiracies to take down Trump.

Liz Cheney didn't lose any sleep over THAT.
The second reason that Trump is misdirecting is that his people are in secret talks with the tech giants.

APARENTLY, the country has forgotten that we're in a national state of emergency.

Look what Trump can do:
"Section 706 [of the Communications Act of 1934) could effectively function as a 'kill switch' in the U.S.—one that would be available to the president. It could also give the president power to assume control over U.S. internet traffic."
I highly recommend that you read this list of all the new powers Trump has under our current national state of emergency:
Trump has no desire to publicly pound the tech giants into the dirt.

He knows he needs to work WITH them.

So he's telling them to knock it off, because he has the power to FORCE THEM.

This is how Trump negotiates.

In secret.
So REGARDLESS of what executive order Trump signs, the REAL deal is that the tech giant know that they MUST cooperate and stop interfering in the election.

@VP Pence said that this interference WILL stop.

Trump is not leaving it to a messy First Amendment fight.
We still have too many Republicans who want to step into the shoes of the Late Senator Who Must Not Be Named.

They thrive on destruction and perversity.

You and I don't matter at all to them.

Trump and his team are in it for US.
Romney is like the people burning down buildings in Minnesota.

Do you know how HARD it is to burn down a building?

You need a liquid accelerant and an ignition source.

A professional ARSONIST did this.
The goal is to destroy the neighborhoods so that the residents will now be angry and underserved forever.

Racial strife is what gives a certain ideology power.

Divide and conquer.
The Romneys and Cheneys are too enmeshed with the Democrats to ever be trusted.

Trump knows all this.

So he misdirects while he has a heart-to-heart with the tech giants.

I'll end with ONE POINT:
With all the new powers he has, Trump hasn't abused ANY of them.

@AmbassadorRice demanded that he take over private industry, the way her clown-boss would've.

Instead, Trump WORKED WITH the private sector and revolutionized almost everything.
Obama and Rice gave us lawlessness, corruption, failure, and oppression.

Par for the Democratic course.

Trump keeps on IMPROVING our lives.

TRUST THE TRUMP.

You'll never go wrong.
