Cody Fenwick — Conservative Writer Max Boot Declares Trump an 'Illegitimate President' Who Won in a Fraudulent Election


The push is on to remove Donald Trump from the White House. Republican establishment joins with the Democratic "Resistance."

Sparks set to fly, igniting many fires. The reality show is heating up.
In light of the newest credible allegations against President Donald Trump, conservative writer Max Boot declared what many have long believed: Trump's presidency is illegitimate because his election was a "fraud."
He made this claim based on the fact Trump was elected after having directed his former attorney, Michael Cohen, to make illegal campaign payments of hush money to two women who say they had affairs with the president, according to Cohen's testimony Tuesday. Cohen's lawyer has also indicated he may have more damning evidence against the president.
"In short, there is growing evidence that the president is, to use the word favored by Richard Nixon, 'a crook,'" wrote Boot Wednesday in the Washington Post. "Even buying the silence of his reputed playmates could by itself have been enough to swing an exceedingly close election decided by fewer than 80,000 votes in three states. Trump certainly would not have authorized the payments unless he thought it was politically imperative to do so. There is also considerable evidence, as I previously argued, that Russia’s intervention on Trump’s behalf affected the outcome. Even more than Nixon, Trump is now an illegitimate president whose election is tainted by fraud."
Many Davis, longtime Democratic operative and Michael Cohen's lawyer, is spearheading a similar movement from the Democratic side.

Expect an establishment and deep state pile-on. Also expect furious pushback from loyal Trump supporters.

American democracy is the victim. It's over, folks. The country is now hopeless divided with no possibility of repair any time soon in sight. It's getting to be time for a war to manufacture some "national unity."

“Even buying the silence of his reputed playmates could by itself have been enough to swing an exceedingly close election decided by fewer than 80,000 votes in three states.”

Meaningless drivel from a Zionist neocon. Exactly how was the Electoral College vote a “fraud”?

Hillary got 227 Electrical College votes, while Trump got 304 votes. A difference of 77 votes is not an “exceedingly close election.”

Nor do 80,000 popular votes mean anything. 800 million popular votes would not mean anything.

It’s all hot air from leading Democrats and neocon bureaucrats (like Max Boot) who want to distract the masses from the fact that leading Democrats are as neoliberal as are Republicans.

Some excerpts from a Counterpunch article…

[1] While nearly 75% of Democrats support single-payer health care, President Obama and the Democrat Congressional members didn’t even allow single-payer to get before Congress.

[2] Democrats voted nearly two to one in favor of Trump’s unconscionable $716 billion war budget. “The Resistance" is really “the Assistance.”

[3] Both parties support US militarism and empire abroad, while both look for opportunities to betray the electorate on social programs such as social security. Both parties are bullish about the ever-encroaching surveillance state, which is eroding civil liberties. Both corporate parties collaborate with each other.

[4] The Democratic Party despises its rank-and-file voters, and is loyal to its big money funders. Leading Democrats would rather lose a presidential election than allow someone like Bernie Sanders to run, who raised inconvenient truths about income inequality.

[5] Both parties are instruments of class rule for the rich and powerful.

[6] The Democratic Party is the graveyard of social movements, not its champion. The major advances of US social movements – abolition of slavery, 8-hour workday, women’s suffrage – all came from third party initiatives, and not from the reigning duopoly of the time.

There is much more in the Counterpunch article...

Again, the purpose of the Russia-gate hoax is to distract the masses from seeing that their greatest enemies are senior Democrats.
