Trump Hatred - New English Review

by Armando Simón (February 2020)

The Assassin, Titian, 1520

games of shooting him, Johnny Depp, George Lopez, Michael Che “joking” about assassinating Trump, Anthony Bourdain (prior to his death) fantasizing about poisoning Trump, and many other leftist celebrities, as well as other not so subtle messages to assassinate the president, and even a fictional short story about assassinating President Trump—in the New York Times. Isis attempted, but failed to assassinate Trump, which at least shows that Isis and American leftists have some things in common.

The advocacy/wishful thinking of assassinating Trump is a manifestation of their out of control hatred for the man. Such is the degree of their snarling hate that it has extended to bizarre and vicious attacks on the First Lady over insignificant matters, as well as to his grown sons, and even to his minor child, all of it unprecedented in the country’s history. It is truly sickening and bizarre. But they see nothing wrong with that.

physically attacking them (usually in a mob</a>; when it is on a one to one basis, the victim is usually a woman, an old person, or a small child). Some have even advocated an American Gulag for those people who have different opinions. This failure to see the irony—or hypocrisy, if you will—is a symptom of fanaticism.

here, here, here, here, and here.

Furthermore, I believe other attempts will follow. If an assassination is successful, journalists will openly gloat, as will many Hollywood celebrities, Democratic politicians and Marxist academics. The corrupt Republican establishment will likewise breathe a sigh of relief. At which point, the task of reversing Trump’s achievements and turning America into another Third World country will resume.

across the country. Should it indeed occur, a second civil war would likely not be like the first one, with geographical boundaries, the heartland against the coastal elites, but more like the Irish Civil War. It is no exaggeration that some people have started sharpening the knives and oiling their guns in anticipation of a civil war.

Yet, on the other hand, if one takes into account the countless instances of conservatives (and classical liberals, libertarians, and independents) who have been physically attacked without hitting back in self-defense, and, of parents who have done nothing to turn back the drive to turn their own children into transgenders, or indoctrinated with Marxist propaganda, the most likely reaction will be their usual one of shaking their heads in disgust, muttering something or other, scratching their rear ends and going back to watch NFL football. My money is that this is the most likely scenario. I suspect that leftists already know this.
