From a good pal of mine in the US.......Thanks Richard

When an ultra, ultra Liberal magazine such as the New Yorker writes an article such as this...you realise America is finally waking up to the corruption, incompetance and ignorance of Washington

A surprising article from the New Yorker Magazine. This magazine has always been a left wing apologizer so this article is even more amazing. Don’t pass it up.



The author is the political correspondent for Bloomberg and wrote extensively about Obama even before he was nominated.




"Who is Donald Trump?" The better question may be, "What is Donald Trump?"

By Roy Kaplan



The answer? A giant middle finger from average Americans to the political and media establishment.



Some Trump supporters are like the 60s white girls who dated black guys just to annoy their parents. But most Trump supporters have simply had it with the Demo-socialists and the "Republicans In Name Only." They knew there wasn't a dime's worth of difference between Hillary Rodham and Jeb Bush, and only a few cents worth between Rodham and the other GOP candidates.



Ben Carson was not an "establishment" candidate, but the Clinton machine would pulverize Carson ; and the somewhat rebellious Ted Cruz (justifiably so) would have been tied up with natural born citizen lawsuits (as might Marco Rubio). The Trump supporters figure they may as well have some fun tossing Molotov cocktails at Wall Street and Georgetown while they watch the nation collapse. Besides - lightning might strike, Trump might get elected, and he might actually fix a few things. Stranger things have happened (the nation elected an [islamo-]Marxist in 2008 and Bruce Jenner now wears designer dresses.)



Millions of conservatives are justifiably furious. They gave the Republicans control of the House in 2010 and control of the Senate in 2014, and have seen them govern no differently than Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. Yet those same v**ers are supposed to trust the GOP in 2016? Why?

Trump did not come from out of nowhere. His candidacy was created by the last six years of Republican failures.



No reasonable person can believe that any of the establishment candidates [dems or reps] would have slashed federal spending, rein in the Federal Reserve, cut burdensome business regulations, reform the tax code, or eliminate useless federal departments (the Departments of Education, Housing and Urban Development, Energy, etc.). Even Ronald Reagan was unable to eliminate the Department of Education. (Of course, getting shot at tends to make a person less of a risk-taker.) No reasonable person can believe that any of the nation's major problems will be solved by Rodham as she is simply the third verse of Obama’s waning swan song.



Many Americans, and especially Trump supporters, have had it with:

· Anyone named Bush

· Anyone named Clinton

· Anyone who's held political office

· Political correctness

· I*****l i*********n

· Massive unemployment

· Theft of Social Security

· Our out of control federal spending

· Our National Debt that exceeds our GDP (Can you say Greece?)

· Phony "official" unemployment and inflation figures

· Welfare waste and fraud

· Money being spent on I*****l i*******ts

· People faking disabilities to go on the dole

· Russia and China laughing at us

· Iran taking us to the cleaners

· VA waiting lists

· TSA airport groping

· ObamaCare

· The Federal Reserve's money-printing schemes

· Wall Street crooks like Jon Corzine

· Michelle Obama's vacations

· Michelle Obama's food police

· Barack Obama's golf

· Barack Obama's arrogant and condescending lectures

· Barack Obama's criticism/hatred of America

· Valerie Jarrett

· " Holiday trees"

· Hollywood hypocrites

· Liars in the media

· Cop k**lers while Black L***s M****r

· Gun confiscation threats

· Spoiled rotten athletes who have no idea how good they have it

· Stagnant wages

· Boys in girls' bathrooms

· Whiny, spoiled college students who can't even place the Civil War in the correct century... and that's just the short list.



Trump supporters believe that no Democrat wants to address these issues, and that few Republicans have the courage to address these issues. They know that Trump is their way of saying, "Screw you, Hillary Rodham and all the Do Nothing Republicans!" The more the talking head political pundits insult the Trump supporters, the more supporters he gains. (The only pundits who seem to understand what is going on are Democrats Doug Schoen and Pat Caddell and Republican John LeBoutillier.



But America does not need a tune-up at the same old garage. It needs a new engine installed by experts - and Hillary Rodham is not a mechanic; she merely manages a garage her philandering husband abandoned. Trump is also not a mechanic, but he knows where to find the best ones to work in his garage. He won't hire his brother-in-law or someone to whom he owes a favor; he will hire someone who lives and breathes cars.



"How dare they revolt!" the "elites" are bellowing. Well, the citizens are daring to revolt, and the RINOs had better get used to it. "But Trump will hand the e******n to Clinton !" That is what the Karl Rove-types want people to believe, just as the l*****t media eagerly shoved "Maverick" McCain down GOP throats in 2008 - knowing he would lose to Obama. But even if Trump loses and Rodham wins, she would be nothing more than a caretaker, not working to restore America 's greatness but merely presiding over the collapse of a massively in-debt nation. A nation can perhaps survive open borders; a nation can perhaps survive a generous welfare system. But no nation can survive both - and there is little evidence that Hillary Rodham understands that. The United States cannot forever continue on the path it is on. At some point it will be destroyed by its debt.



Yes, Trump speaks like a bull wander[ing] through a china shop, but the t***h is that the borders do need to be sealed; we cannot afford to feed, house, and clothe 200,000 Syrian immigrants for decades (even if we get inordinately lucky and none of them are ISIS infiltrators or Syed Farook wannabes); the world is at war with radical Islamists; and we cannot continue trying to spend our way out of debt.



Is Trump the perfect candidate? Of course not. Neither was Ronald Reagan. But unless we close our borders and restrict immigration, all the other issues are irrelevant. One terrorist blowing up a bridge or a tunnel could k**l thousands. One jihadist poisoning a city's water supply could k**l tens of thousands. One electromagnetic pulse attack from a single Iranian nuclear device could k**l tens of millions. Faced with those possibilities, most Americans probably don't care that Trump relied on eminent domain to grab up a final quarter acre of property for a hotel, or that he boils the blood of the Muslim Brotherhood thugs running the Council on American-Islamic Relations. While Attorney General Loretta Lynch's greatest fear is someone giving a Muslim a dirty look, most Americans are more worried about being gunned down at a shopping mall by a crazed [islamic] lunatic who treats his prayer mat better than his three wives and who is fool enough to think that 72 virgins are waiting for him in paradise.



The establishment is frightened to death that Trump will win, but not because they believe he will harm the nation. They are afraid he will upset their taxpayer-subsidized apple carts. While Obama threatens to veto legislation that spends too little, they worry that Trump will veto legislation that spends too much.



You can be certain that if Hillary wins in November 2016 … [her] cabinet positions will be filled with the same people we've seen before. The washed-up has-beens of the Clinton and Obama administrations will be back in charge. The hacks from Goldman Sachs will continue to call the shots. And American will continue her continuing decline as other great democracies in history.


If the establishment wins, America loses.

WOW.. that is sayin' it like it really is! Authorship is in question, but regardless it is spot on. Here's what Snopes says ( not that I believe snopes anymore).

"As it turned out, it wasn't written by anyone at The New Yorker or Bloomberg, and didn't appear anywhere in either publication. The piece was small-government advocate and President Obama birth certificate conspiracy theorist Don Fredrick's work, and was originally published on his blog, The Complete Obama Timeline. Readers apparently confused Fredrick with Bloomberg Politics writer Don Frederick (not Fredrick), a completely different person with no relation to the writer of the Trump piece.

While some readers obviously found Fredrick's opinion piece agreeable, it originated neither with The New Yorker nor Bloomberg's Don Frederick."

Which makes the content completely unreliable. Claiming authorship by the New Yorker serves to add legitimacy to an otherwise bogus author, who knew that nobody would pay attention to his manifesto unless he fooled the gullible into believing it was a mainstream publication like the respected New Yorker that published the screed.

Oh and Graham, your country is nothing to hold up as a beacon of hope as far as its politics is concerned.

That and your beer is s**t.

The article needs no credibility as the facts clearly state exactly what a majority of americans despise. The article speaks for itself.
