Trojan Horse Redux

With Donald Trump throwing his hat into the ring for the 2012 Presidential election campaign, it looks as though there is someone who might have the strength and notoriety to beat Obama. Trump is playing it up to full tilt, and saying things that have been up to this point dismissed. But because of Trump’s notoriety, he gets full play in all the mainstream media, which gives it the appearance of legitimacy that it never had before. Trump’s call for Obama’s birth certificate is a win-win for him. It may provide him the ammo he needs to win. If he loses the race, then it’s given him more notoriety, he still doesn't lose because it will benefit his show and any other endeavor he embarks in. I believe that while there are legitimate questions about Obama’s nation of birth, we are not going to find out before Obama leaves office. And it’s dubious that we will find out after. He has the power of the Presidency behind him, and he knows how to wield it. The progressive statists have a vested interest in keeping it permanently hidden. If it’s revealed and he is truly not a US citizen, then every bill he signed, every executive order he issued will be nullified. It would destroy everything the leftists have worked for, and could even cause irreparable damage to our government. How would we deal with all the nullified spending bills and the taxes that went along with it to pay for all those systems that were put into place? That being said, I still think we should pursue the birth issue, but after Obama's out of office.

But I digress.

The main issue here at hand is the effect Trump will have on the outcome of the election. Trump has already said that if he does not win the GOP nomination, he will run as an independent candidate. If he does so, there is little likelihood Trump will win. Furthermore, it will do to this election what John Anderson did for the election in 1976 and what Ross Perot did for the election in 1996. In Anderson’s case, it helped a weak, liberal “nobody” win the election without a majority. In Perot’s case, he aided in Clinton getting re-elected. Arguably, Clinton, who only received about a third of the vote, wouldn’t have been reelected had votes to the GOP candidate been siphoned off by Perot. Trump, a wealthy business man with a penchant for straight talk, and an outrageous character is very similar to Perot. Look at the similarities here, and I think you’ll see my point. It's likely that if Trump runs as an independent, he'll siphon off GOP votes. Trump worries me even further because I’m not sure I believe his claims to be a conservative. He has given quite generously to Democrats in the past, so it makes me wonder why he is changing his allegiances so blithely. To make matters worse, it appears that there are no strong Republican candidates to oppose him.

Here’s where my conspiracy theory kicks in. The statists want Obama to remain in office so they can continue to implement their plans to expand and consolidate their power. They know he is weak, and has been damaged by his actions to implement their plans through the office of the presidency. If an election were held today, it is doubtful Obama would remain in office. So, they bring in a Trojan Horse. If you recall, the Trojan Horse was used by the Greek army to secretly infiltrate the Trojan fortress. It lulled the Trojans into a false sense of security; a gift was left behind as a peace offering, and the threat of an invading foreign army was apparently gone. Perot was the progressive’s Trojan Horse for the ’96 election. He lulled us into a false sense of security that he could beat Clinton. I think Trump is the Trojan Horse for the 2012 election. His candidacy will lull the conservatives into a false sense of security, while the rest of the GOP votes for their man. The right wing vote gets split, and the Democrat lands on top. You may argue as to why a guy as rich and powerful and famous as Trump (or Perot for that matter) would need to be the president. Obviously they couldn’t offer him money, so how did they do it? The answer? Ego – and more power. Guys with power like even more power. The likely theory is that someone stroked Trump’s ego, and planted the seed in his mind to run for president. Now, with Trump announcing he is seeking to become President, he threatens (likely unknowingly) to give Obama another term. 

If that happens we can pretty much seal our fate as a nation as we presently know it. We will never be the same. Even if we win a majority in the Senate, I think Obama will have so much political clout in D.C., that he will be nearly unstoppable.

I may be off the deep end on this… and I hope I am.
