As an Israeli who loves America, I am worried by Trump

ed note–the Judaic drumbeat against Trump continues, whether it is the right or the left side of the concert house. Both sides of the criminal conspiracy know that Trump would be a sheriff who cannot be bought off or bullied into toeing some line drawn by organized Jewish interests, and yet, despite what is an ear-splitting chorus of invective and vitriol being trumpeted against him–no pun intended–there will still be some in this ‘movement’ who will claim it is all a charade and that he is ‘one of them’ just because his daughter happened to convert to Judaism.

Those who have invested a certain amount of hope in this latest development should temper their hopes that things are about to get ‘turned around’. What is brewing is an apocalyptic fight between Godzilla and King Kong in the middle of a highly populated city. Even if Trump does manage to make it alive to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, that does not mean his ability to effect any change will not be dead on arrival. Congress is owned, lock, stock and barrel by the very same organized Jewish interests–both left and right–who are trying like hell to scuttle Trump’s chances of winning. Once he is in, the BEST case scenario is that they will throw up barrier after barrier in preventing him getting anything done and at some point will, not may, but WILL, bring up articles of Impeachment against him. Worst case scenario is that Trump is able to marshal some muscle from his own side, in which case what we will see is the complete implosion of the United States, as it is brought down, brick by brick and bone by bone, not one stone being left upon another, as organized Jewish interests carpetbomb America with every conceivable dirty trick they have in their arsenal, be it false flag terrorism, economic collapse, shutting down the entire infrastructure of the US through Stuxnet or an engineered nuclear war with Russia.

The point is, in the midst of all the cheering that is presently taking place, there needs also to be a moment of sober, serious reflection for what will likely arrive at the doorstep of every person on God’s green earth if indeed the teflon Don makes it to the White House.

Even if he doesn’t become president, Donald Trump has already made history. The success of the billionaire from Palm Beach against all the odds and all the forecasts has changed the face of the United States. More precisely, it has demonstrated that the face of the United States has changed.

After the astounding victories of the vulgar populist in New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada, it is clear to all that America is no longer the country we have known. It is no longer a nation with a prudent economic establishment, a contented middle class and a stable political system. It is no longer a nation confident in itself, its identity and its future. It is a frightened, angry America. An America that has lost its way.

To an Israeli who spends considerable time in debates about Israel between Boston and San Francisco, Trump is a relief. Suddenly Israeli politics seem a little less embarrassing. How can one be shocked by Uri Ariel, Miri Regev and Yariv Levin, when the big talent is electrifying millions of Americans by inciting against Muslims? How can one express disgust at the goings on in Jerusalem, when the man marching toward Washington is breaking every basic rule of American democracy?

But to an Israeli who loves America and believes it has no substitute, Trump is a cause of deep worry. Why is it that what’s going on in this election campaign hasn’t happened in any election campaign in the last century? What enables a brilliant, dangerous, repulsive, rude clown to take one step after another toward the White House?

The first reason for Trump’s success is fear for the nation’s identity. American demography is changing fast. White Christian America is becoming a minority. In the two election campaigns won by Barack Obama, American politics celebrated the change. Now comes the reaction. Something dark and horrible is rising from parts of the conservative white population, which feels it’s losing its hegemony over the land it has built.

The second reason for Trump’s success is economic fear. In the last 30 years American capitalism has become rapacious as it hasn’t been since the end of the 19th century. Massive concentration of capital, huge social gaps and an eroding middle class are breaking the American dream to bits. In the absence of real mobility and the lack of confidence in a better future, American stability and optimism have been undermined.

The third reason for Trump’s success is fear of decline. All those who will be voting in the November election are children of the American century. They grew up in a world dominated in one way or another by the United States. But in the last 15 years these voters have seen America lose its place of leadership in the world. China’s rise, Russia’s provocation and the Middle East’s despair prove that Washington is no longer in command of the world as it was in the past. Thus was created the yearning for a new commander, an unrestrained one.

These three deep fears coalesced in recent years to become a quiet dread. While on the surface the economy seemed to be more or less recovering, the world more or less peaceful, and life more or less reasonable – down below this dread gripped the heart of the American masses. In the lack of job security, communal security and security in the future, the dread intensified.

Until Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders came along and brought it to the surface, to the light. So even if the real estate tycoon is ultimately defeated – he has already made his mark. This man who offers himself as a grotesquerie of Ronald Reagan has not only brought American politics to an unprecedented low, he endangers all that America has been and all that America is supposed to be.
