While running for the presidency Donald Trump got a lot of advice about what to say
and especially what NOT to say. On each occasion in such discussions my response
was "let Trump be Trump" as long as his campaign remains solution oriented!
Well, today it is obvious that the political attacks against Trump's presidency will not
subside and groups are organizing, led by former President Obama's "Organizing
for America" (OFA), to destroy him. Millions will be spent to undermine what his
administration attempts to do!
We already see President Trump will not get the traditional financial support most
incumbent presidents count on. Add to this the snarky criticism from establishment
Republicans and neo-conservative publications to weaken any Trump initiative.
And, even though the Republican Party fund raising is well ahead of the Democrats,
do not expect Trump supporting members of Congress to get equal contributions as
those who opening criticize him.
For this reason I offer two suggestions.
First, President Trump needs to create his own political action committee (PAC) to
do independent fund raising to counter what he can expect to see throughout his
first term and his reelection campaign.
Trump has one asset the Republican Party does not have, sixty-five million loyal
supporters who believe he will do what he said. And as his year is nearly complete
he has not disappointed.
In fact, for those looking for disappointments they need look no further than our
Congress which time again has failed the public.
By having a PAC President Trump will be able to directly counter OFA and other
groups that seek to bring him down.
These tens of millions of supporters are true believers and will not disappoint. They
will contribute with small donations to counter the ongoing attacks that have been
going on the past two years. They understand Trump is the best hope to right the
course of a nation that has gone astray.
Secondly, President Trump must actively support the Freedom Caucus, the true
limited govt. Republicans in Congress. Like Trump its members are "locked in"
with the Trump's base and his campaign promises.
In fact, its leadership needs to be the most visible members of Congress to interact
with President Trump.
In 2010 we saw how Republican leaders dismissed its predecessor, the Tea Party
Caucus, and co-opted after its stunning victory.
The Freedom Caucus can be the foundation for what could be the Trump Revolution
that will give government back to the American people. It can be what the Tea Party
aspired to be, the grass roots political power that determines which candidates will
represent us!
That's it.....
