When one speaks of a coup, one usually is speaking of a dictatorial regime being overthrown – not the president of the United States (POTUS).

But since Donald Trump has become POTUS, we have seen daily attempts to bring him down by Liberals who are using every weapon in their arsenal to literally destroy him.

Their shock and awe at Hillary Clinton losing the 2016 elections hit Democrats so hard, particularly politicians, the liberal mainstream media and the Hollywood elites, they have resorted to unrestrained cursing throwing F-bombs indiscriminately into microphones on stages, inciting riots on college campuses, manufacturing completely false narratives designed to undermine Trump’s presidency and finally, manipulating fake news stories.

All the late night shows, along with the news anchors on CNN, MSNBC, CBS, NBC, the New York Times, The Washington Post, and the entire liberal media networks were found to put out over 95 percent negative coverage about our new president. At all the awards shows, Hollywood stars took turns ridiculing Trump and the First Family.

As early as one day away from the inauguration, Madonna spewed such hatred into the mic that she confessed to wanting to bomb the White House with Trump and his family in it. Comedian Kathy Griffin thought it appropriate to hold a bloody severed Trump look-alike head in her hand as part of her routine. One coward poked fun at Trump’s 10 – year old son.

All of this ultimately resulted in an attempted assassination of Republican congressmen and their staff at a completely innocuous baseball practice game. Yet TV personalities on MSNBC, CBS, and CNN took joy in blaming the Republicans (It was their own fault) for being shot at.

There once was a time when regardless of whether POTUS was from your political party or you agreed with his political leanings, you at least respected the office of the Presidency. Not anymore.

The examples of this outrageous behavior now follow the blueprint issued by community organizer Saul Alinsky in his 1971 book Rules for Radicals, a modernization of the Communist Rules for Revolution.

Consider Alinsky’s purpose, which was to “counsel young radicals as to how to effect constructive social change”…”The Prince was written by Machiavelli for the Haves on how to hold power. Rules for Radicals is written for the Have-Nots on how to take it away.”

“Rule 5: Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. Rule 8: Keep the pressure on, with different tactics and actions. Rule 10: Maintain constant pressure upon the opposition. Rule 11: If you push a negative hard and deep enough it will break through. Rule 13:

Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.”

Doesn’t that sound like what the Democrats are doing to Donald Trump? They invented an illegal relationship between Trump and Russian Vladimir Putin where Trump’s campaign was supposed to have colluded with the Russians to make him win the 2016 election over Hillary.

Now the reality is that Democrats had the relationship. Obama planned a positive relationship with Putin during the 2012 election and was caught on an open mic whispering his plan to the Russian Ambassador.

Then Bill Clinton was paid millions by the Russians for a speaking engagement; while Hillary Clinton, as Secretary of State, gave over 20 percent of the U.S. uranium reserves to Russia and the Russians donated millions to the Clinton Foundation.

So somebody please tell me, why would the Russians want to throw the election away from Hillary to Trump? Does that make sense to anyone?

Yet the Democrats in Congress, with help from Republicans controlling Congress, have carried on a “witch-hunt” for months, accusing Trump of “colluding with Russians” to win the election.

Then after Trump fired FBI Director Jim Comey, who the Democrats wanted fired BEFORE the election, the Democrats have cried foul. Comey then leaked classified documents to the media through a friend so the Department of Justice would have to hire an Independent Counsel (his good friend Robert Mueller) to investigate Trump’s Russian connection and his abrupt firing and Trump’s attempt to interfere with the FBI’s investigation of his so-called collusion.
