Trump’s 'lack of decorum, dignity, and statesmanship' By Marshall Kamena, Mayor of Livermore, CA.

My L*****t friends (as well as many ardent #NeverTrumpers) constantly ask me if I’m not bothered by Donald Trump’s lack of decorum. They ask if I don’t think his tweets are “beneath the dignity of the office.”

Here’s my answer: We Right-thinking people have tried dignity. There could not have been a man of more quiet dignity than George W. Bush as he suffered the outrageous lies and politically motivated hatreds that undermined his presidency.

We tried statesmanship.

Could there be another human being on this earth who so desperately prized “collegiality” as John McCain?

We tried propriety – has there been a nicer human being ever than Mitt Romney?

And the results were always the same. This is because, while we were playing by the rules of dignity, collegiality and propriety, the Left has been, for the past 60 years, engaged in a knife fight where the only rules are those of Saul Alinsky and the Chicago mob.

I don’t find anything “dignified,” “collegial” or “proper” about Barack Obama’s lying about what went down on the streets of Ferguson in order to ramp up racial hatreds because racial hatreds serve the Democratic Party.

I don’t see anything “dignified” in lying about the deaths of four Americans in B******i and imprisoning an innocent filmmaker to cover your tracks.

I don’t see anything “statesman-like” in weaponizing the IRS to be used to destroy your political opponents and any dissent.

Yes, Obama was “articulate” and “polished” but in no way was he in the least bit “dignified,” “collegial” or “proper.”

The Left has been engaged in a war against America since the rise of the Children of the ‘60s. To them, it has been an all-out war where nothing is held sacred and nothing is seen as beyond the pale.. It has been a war they’ve fought with violence, the threat of violence, demagoguery and lies from day one – the violent take-over of the universities – till today.

The problem is that, through these years, the Left has been the only side fighting this war. While the Left has been taking a knife to anyone who stands in their way, the Right has continued to act with dignity, collegiality and propriety.

With Donald Trump, this all has come to an end. Donald Trump is America ’s first wartime president in the Culture War.

During wartime, things like “dignity” and “collegiality” simply aren’t the most essential qualities one looks for in their warriors. Ulysses Grant was a drunk whose behavior in peacetime might well have seen him drummed out of the Army for conduct unbecoming.

Had Abraham Lincoln applied the peacetime rules of propriety and booted Grant, the Democrats might well still be holding their s***es today.

Lincoln rightly recognized that, “I cannot spare this man. He fights.”

General George Patton was a vulgar-talking.. In peacetime, this might have seen him stripped of rank. But, had Franklin Roosevelt applied the normal rules of decorum then, Hitler and the Socialists would barely be five decades into their thousand-year Reich.

Trump is fighting. And what’s particularly delicious is that, like Patton standing over the battlefield as his tanks obliterated Rommel’s, he’s shouting, “You magnificent bastards, I read your book!”

That is just the icing on the cake, but it’s wonderful to see that not only is Trump fighting, he’s defeating the Left using their own tactics. That book is Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals – a book so essential to the Liberals’ war against America that it is and was the playbook for the entire obama administration and the subject of Hillary Clinton’s senior thesis.

It is a book of such pure evil, that, just as the rest of us would dedicate our book to those we most love or those to whom we are most indebted, Alinsky dedicated his book to Lucifer.

Trump’s tweets may seem rash and unconsidered but, in reality, he is doing exactly what Alinsky suggested his followers do. First, instead of going after “the f**e media” — and they are so f**e that they have literally gotten every single significant story of the past 60 years not just wrong, but diametrically opposed to the t***h, from the Tet Offensive to B******i, to what really happened on the streets of Ferguson, Missouri — Trump isolated CNN.. He made it personal.

Then, just as Alinsky suggests, he employs ridicule which Alinsky described as “the most powerful weapon of all.”... Most importantly, Trump’s tweets have put CNN in an untenable and unwinnable position. ... They need to respond.

This leaves them with only two choices. They can either “go high” (as Hillary would disingenuously declare of herself and the f**e news would disingenuously report as the t***h) and begin to honestly and accurately report the news or they can double-down on their usual tactics and hope to defeat Trump with twice their usual hysteria and demagoguery. The problem for CNN (et al.) with the former is that, if they were to start honestly reporting the news, that would be the end of the Democratic Party they serve. It is nothing but the incessant use of f**e news (read: propaganda) that keeps the Left alive.

Imagine, for example, if CNN had honestly and accurately reported then-candidate Barack obama’s close ties to foreign terrorists (Rashid Khalidi), d******c t*******ts (William Ayers & Bernardine Dohrn), the mafia (Tony Rezko) or the true evils of his spiritual mentor, Jeremiah Wright’s church.

Imagine if they had honestly and accurately conveyed the evils of the obama administration’s weaponizing of the IRS to be used against their political opponents or his running of guns to the Mexican cartels or the t***h about the murder of Ambassador Christopher Stevens and the Obama administration’s cover-up.

So, to my friends on the Left — and the #NeverTrumpers as well — do I wish we lived in a time when our president could be “collegial” and “dignified” and “proper”? Of course I do.

These aren’t those times. This is war. And it’s a war that the Left has been fighting without opposition for the past 50 years.

So, say anything you want about this president - I get it - he can be vulgar, he can be crude, he can be undignified at times. I don’t care. I can’t spare this man. He fights for America!

Great article, ldsutton! Thanks for posting this!

================
The tweets of the president are needed to counter the lies and attacks against the president, by the MSM media like CNN, MSNBC, NYT, and many others.

Tweeting by the president is the only way to present facts to the American people which the MSM failed to do. And they attack him for doing that, so the lies of MSM could not be known. But I support the tweets of the president. They are needed to present the t***h and facts to the American people. The president is the most t***sparent president in history. He tells what it is to the people would know what is going on, instead of being mislead by the media. The media, twist facts, invent, and fabricate LIES to report to the American people and the world to destroy president Trump.

Lack of Statesmanship? The president has been successful in leading the Executive Office, with 15 departments, all successfully discharge their responsibilities under the guidelines and policies of the president.

The president's leading the National Defense has been very impressive concerning the build up of its capabilities worldwide after Barack Obama had left and decimated.
The president had empowered our National Defense increased its budget to $718 billion, and created a new air defense system called the Air Space Defense.
The president had eliminated ISIS caliph**e and its leader BAGDHADDI, who Barack Obama had empowered in the Middle East, by removing the untimely removal of US security in IRAQ.

The president had eliminated Kasem Soleimani of Iran in the Middle East who had been k*****g the US military stationed there. The president had put Syria in peace after ISIS was defeated. ISIS which Barack had empowered had been k*****g millions of Christians and Syrians which resulted to Barack's bringing millions of Muslims to the US.

The president's foreign polices are so impressive that world countries worship, appreciate, and admire him.
His first year at the NATO conference in Europe brought surprise to all NATO members after the president effectively required them to pay the dues that was committed by each member.

Concerning China, the closest competitor both in economics and world power, president Trump was able to tame China to stop taking advantage of trade that benefited China for decades. President Trump was able to stop China from its aggressive thievery of US Intellectual Properties. That eventually brought China to a balanced trade agreement with the US.

I could go on and on describing the successes how the president lead the 15 Cabinet Departments of the Executive Office. It will take book to write them.

The president and the First Lady had brought our country, p***e and respect concerning their impressive and classy display of our US respect to the whole world. First Lady is vry classy and beautiful.

Presently president Trump was given 2 world nominations for Nobel Price for the Arab/Israel peace agreement, and the Kosovo peace negotiation. President Trump is a very effective statesman.
The world loves president Trump.
----------------
On the contrary, Obama brought the opposite that put our country to humiliation and to the ground.
1. In 2009. Obama apologized to the world for the sins of America during his 1st year in office.
2. Obama bowed to kings, and kissed monarch's hands.
3. Obama spent $2 billion of my tax money and of others who pay taxes, during his 10 day visit to India in 2010.
4. Obama removed US security in Iraq that untimely which paved ways that empowered ISIS.
5. Obama gave Iran $150 billion plus $1.8 CASH. This allowed IRAN to build more nuclear arsenal. Iran also added funding to Hisbollah, and Hamas in Palestine.
6. Obama lied to the American people when he caused deaths of Amb. Stevens in B******i, and 3 other support team.
7. Obama refused providing the Ambassador Steven security team when he requested 600 times.
8. Obama required the US military to stand down when they suggested to rescue Ambassador Steven who died.
9. While the Ambassador left dead k**led by Alaeda force, Obama left to Las Vegas to do fundraising for his ree
10. The the following day after his fund raisin, he tood t the UN podium lied to the American people and the world that Ambassador Stevens was k**led by the Mohammad video.When he watched the evening when the Ambassador was attacked and k**led by Alqaeda.
Obama released 5 GITMO Islam leader terrorists who went back fighting and k*****g US troops.
11. Fast and Furious, Obama could have been impeached on this act, along with his Atty. Gen. Eric Holder.

Again, I can write pages of Obama's crimes against the American people, but that will take a book like this.
Obama, the worst president of the US, the Legacy of Barack Obama.
Obama by his ethnicity of 50% black inherited a huge vocal chord. Thus his voice when speaking is loud. Most black people by their black ethnicity have huge vocal chord which when talking emits loud sound. Notice that many b****s have are good singers, I would admit that. It is due to the design, and size of their bigger vocal chords. This is scientifically proven. It is not r****t comment. That is why Barack Obama could speak loudly without any barriers, due to his ethnicity. But that does not determine statesmanship.

I have so many more to write. I am in a hurry, not able to proofread, I need to go. Have an appointment.
