I read the article source below, and it got me thinking, would the people who are helping Trump go all the way to where they would plan and execute a terrorist act to support Trump? I know some people who are convinced that Trump set up that shooting where his ear was allegedly hit.
Read the article, make your own decision, but, surprisingly, he is removing many of the men and women who are responsible for determining if terrorist attacks are imminent.
The second is that “big, splashy attacks on the country are excellent opportunities to gain popularity and seize more power.”
Just ask George W. Bush.
After his brother Jeb, then governor of Florida, purged 57,000 Black voters from that state’s voter rolls, George “won” the 2000 election in that state by a mere 537 votes, which was immediately challenged in court by Al Gore’s campaign. The state Supreme Court ordered a recount that, according to The New York Times, would have led to a clear Gore victory.
Meanwhile, the story of Jeb’s massive voter purge was being shared around the world by the BBC, as people realized George was an illegitimate president. His poll numbers were about as bad as they could get.
And then came 9/11. The attack on America brought the country together to support the unpopular president, kicking his popularity as measured by Gallup above 90 percent, higher than any other president in the history of polling.
Similarly, after the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995, then-President Bill Clinton’s approval rating jumped from below 50 percent all the way up into the 80 percent range.
And, while there wasn’t polling at the time, it’s safe to assume the same thing happened to FDR after Pearl Harbor in 1941.
