Jon Stewart is Back
and Wrong
I was happy to see Mr.
Jon Stewart return to “The Late Show” in a live broadcast after the Republican
National Convention. The timing seemed certainly right for Jon Stewart to share
about the 2016 presidential race. As usual, he aimed his witticisms at the
hypocrisies of the news media and his old nemeses at Fox News. There was
something unusual about his performance though.
Notably, Jon Steward
did not talk very much about Donald Trump who has won the Republican nomination
for president. It was a 10-minute segment of jibes, interlaced with edited
television clips, that was delivered from Mr. Stephen Colbert’s “Late Show”
desk at the Ed Sullivan Theater. Mr. Stewart criticized the Fox News host Sean
Hannity and other TV personalities whom he viewed as too hypocritical in their
support of the Republican presidential nominee, Donald J. Trump.
It was not quite clear
why Jon Stewart decided to come up with his portion of dirt to fling at the
Republicans this time around. Perhaps, he just wanted to take it at the
broadcasters and commentators, who had supported Mr. Trump, because there
remained the last traces of inconsistency and bias that Mr. Stewart so
quixotically attacked throughout his tenure as a professional comedian. The
personality of Donald Trump has overnight become bigger than life. Perhaps it,
and something else, made even a brief name calling in reference to Mr. Trump
sound almost apologetically.
Jon Stewart has not
completely changed his opinion about Donald Trump, it seems. The old misconceptions
are hard to get rid of. Donald J. Trump
has proved that he was severely misjudged, though. Both his political friends
and his critics have been wrong about him. Even Jon Stewart seems to have
admitted it by having most of his vehement gags aimed not at Trumps’ persona
but at his prime supporters’ perceived inconsistencies. However, misconceptions
remain. Mostly, they were generated by the Democrats to discredit Donald Trump
as presidential candidate. Eventually, they fell prey to their own misaligned characterizations
of Donald Trump and the Dems ended up gravely underestimating their major
political opponent.
First, the myth of
Donald Trump’s political inexperience has been highly exaggerated. It was the
Democratic party that coined this notion that Donald J. Trump had no political
experience because he had never been a professional politician. Donald Trump
has had a lot of political experience actually dealing with numerous political
officials during his business career. Trump has learned a lot about politics
without ever being a politician. Donald Trump is a natural showman. Not only he
already knew a lot about politics, he also must have felt like fish in water
there, repeatedly trying his part in the political theater of previous
presidential campaigns. That must be one of the reasons he eventually decided
to run all the way. He had enough experience to be sure that he would win over
the majority of voters. It is his unique political experience that he gained
during his work with numerous politicians in his career that has become the key
to his success as a politician during this past year.
Jon Stewart is unjust
in his criticism of the supporters of Donald Trump. Obama does pursue policies
that covertly divide the nation. Listen to his tirades about the problem of
racial discrimination against African-Americans in the US every time a black
thug is killed by police, even when police actions were justified by
circumstance. Obama administration does support open borders policy even though
it known for a fact that there are scores of hardened criminals, including drug
traffickers and rapists, among the incoming illegal immigrants. These two
problems are genuine! Sean Hannity displayed good judgment addressing those
problems. Donald Trump displayed his political sense and experience addressing
those issues.
Jon Stewart has failed
to explain why he is unhappy about Trump addressing the problem of criminals
crossing the US border along with other illegal immigrants coming from Mexico.
Jon Stewart failed to explain why he is unhappy about Sean Hannity bringing up
the issue of Obama being a divisive factor in the relationships between the
blacks and whites. Without explaining himself, Jon Stewart erroneously accused
Donald Trump of being a white supremacist, repeated the old lie that Donald
Trump had no experience, and mistakenly attributed divisiveness to Donald
Trump. Off course, a businessman who has built his empire embracing experts of
all kinds and walks from all around the globe must be a white supremacist.
Surely, a person who within a year has become the most popular politician in
the country must have had no experience before. Surely, such a politician, who
has brought millions of rank-and-file registered Republicans back into the
party working ranks and inspired millions more from among his opponent’s former
supporters to leave the Democratic party and join the Republicans in their
support of Donald Trump, must be very divisive. Especially to his opponent’s
political party!
Attacks on Sean Hannity
and other reporters were unjustified as well. There does not seem to be any
inconsistency in criticizing a president, who happens to be a professional
politician, for constantly using a teleprompter and praising a political novice
for using one when he had never used a teleprompter before he became a
fully-fledged political leader of his party. In the first case, Obama’s
constant use of teleprompter speaks about his lack of control, political
freedom, and independent thinking in the face of a pressing problem. In Donald
Trump’s case, using a teleprompter is a step forward in mastering the art of
political dialogue and discovering new ways to deliver a political message to a
greater, a constantly increasing, number of followers and political supporters.
Yeah, Obama is a
greater elitist than Donald Trump! All you have to do is to look at how Obama
and his spouse, Michelle, relate to Her Majesty Elizabeth the Second. The
Obamas are appallingly elitist! They look down upon everyone who does not have
at least a drop of royal blood in them. And it shows. Trump is rich, tough, and
smart. He has sustained his wealth and social status through his own toughness
and intelligence, as well as the toughness and skills of his employees. He
might look down at those who are not as successful in employing their own
toughness and wits to become affluent, but he does not look like he feels
entitled to his supreme position except through the virtue of his own hard
efforts and work ethic.
Obama is being
criticized as a professional politician who has betrayed his own ethics and
principles while serving the interests of people other than the majority of the
American people. He neither looks, nor speaks, nor does as a person who cares
about the national interests or ordinary Americans. As opposed to Obama, Trump
addresses concrete problems, offers viable solutions, and displays his
financial independence from the multiple interest groups inside and outside the
country.
Religiosity of Obama
is a mystery to many Americans! He was raised as a Muslim. His father, his
relatives and his many childhood friends are Muslims. Is he a Christian? Most
people would doubt that. I remember that, during the presidential inauguration,
Obama took his Oath or Affirmation without having the Bible under his hand. By
convention, incoming Presidents raise their right hand and place the left on a
Bible while taking the oath of office. Obama had profaned the rite the first
time by stuttering and invalidating his own oath on the day of Inauguration.
The following day, he repeated the ceremony indoors but he apparently refused
to take the oath using the Bible.
The fact that pope
criticized Donald Trump’s decision to build a border wall, does not mean that
Trump is less Christian than pope, but it shows that pope is less, than Trump,
interested in making sure that the US borders are secure and fully controlled
by the US border control agents.
Jon Stewart was
disingenuously repeating the slurs devised by Hillary Clinton campaign
managers. The words ‘thin-skinned’, ‘authoritarian’, ‘narcissist’ bespeak Jon
Stewart’s own political leanings. His angry trolling was aimed against Donald
Trump, even though he did not attack Trump personally. Most pathetic and
disgraceful was Jon Stewart’s attempt to disclaim the Republicans’ slogan of
taking the country back. He knows that the people the Republican voters are
trying to take their country back from are the clique of treasonous so-called
progressive liberals and socialists who are the front political hacks of the globalists. As the US citizens, the registered
Republicans, millions of ordinary people who have chosen their political
leader, are the rightful owners of the country. And so are the registered
Democrats as well as those who do not register their political affiliations but
remain American citizens.
However, the right to
participate in this kind of participatory ownership of one’s own country has to
be proved through faithful adherence to the principle of priority of national
interests over the interests of transnational corporations and foreign interest
groups. Your ownership of the country is proved by your patriotic actions aimed
at attaining the good of your people. Trump has united the people who recognize
the malicious character and treasonous actions of the Obama administration and
treacherous character of the Democrats’ presidential nominee, Hillary Clinton.
Millions of registered Democrats and Republicans have recognized the threat
Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton pose to the majority of American citizens.
Obama and the Clintons have already proved through their actions that they act
not in the interests of the majority of the American people. The Clintons and
their progressive liberal globalist cronies have treated the US as if they were
the owners of the country all these years. They have acted as if they were the
owners of morals. They have acted as if they were the owners of common sense.
Donald J. Trump speaks
on behalf of the majority of Americans robbed and deceived by the
liberal/socialist globalist scum, who act as if they own America. The
progressive liberals and that dishonest and disgusting globalist cabal in DC do
not own the country. They have taken it by deceit and through intimidation of
the ordinary Americans. But the country is not theirs! The globalist leftists
have stolen America from the American citizens and are trying to convince
Americans that being a citizen of the US, or any other nation for that matter,
does not mean anything! The US liberal/socialist globalist political
manipulators, like Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, have committed treason
against their nation. The country should certainly be taken away from them and
given back to the people through a true American conservative leadership.
They have been using
and abusing America to their own ends, the US political and economic
infrastructure gradually falling apart. That is why the bravery and sacrifice
of such national forces like the military, police, and firefighters has been
neglected, disregarded, and abused. Obama and Hillary Clinton serve the
interests of an international group of people that view the nation state in
general as an obstacle to their own global plans. Only such a leader, who
delineates the current political crisis in the US as contradiction between the
national character of the interests of the majority of Americans on the one
hand and supranational character of the interests of the people behind the
Obama administration on the other, can be called a true leader not only of the
Republican party but of the whole nation.
Jon Stewart must be feeling
confused and even embarrassed that the person he had so vehemently and
sheepishly ridiculed in the past stands for those same interests that he, Jon
Stewart, advocated for so consistently throughout his career as the host of
“The Daily Show with Jon Stewart”. Donald J. Trump is the only person who, like
those few other former US presidents, simply through the power of being his own
boss financially, can become the true people’s leader. He cannot be bought! He
cannot be blackmailed! He cannot be corrupted through political process the way
most professional politicians end up toward the end of their political careers!
A professional businessman, a builder, and a real estate developer that he is,
Donald J. Trump cannot help but deliver on the promises he gave to his numerous
constituents who through the power of their numbers make his own political
standing indomitable.
There is certainly
more hope for Donald Trump than Hillary Clinton! Donald J. Trump is the only
kind of national elite that can be a true leader of the nation. Especially in
our times of increasingly post-Westphalian globalist chaos of the decline and
diminishment of the nation state as a conventional political subject.
