After suffering a devastating election loss to the weakest candidate the GOP has ever had to offer, establishment liberals have stopped at nothing to rationalize their miserable defeat to reality television star Donald J. Trump, even concocting outlandish McCarthyite theories of foreign interference, in what seems to be intentional, purely for the obfuscation of the Democratic Party’s own deficiencies.

Bereft of any evidence whatsoever, political elites accused our old Cold War nemesis, Russia, of interfering in the American presidential election to favor the GOP’s Donald Trump over Democratic Party darling Hillary Clinton. Mass liberal outrage and the Democratic Party’s newfound super-patriotism prompted investigation into foreign hacking claims and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence released its intelligence report on Russian interference in early January. Despite its grandiose promises of revealing irrefutable evidence of the Kremlin’s direct involvement, the ODNI failed to deliver. Although lauded by both establishments as “damning,” the ODNI’s highly publicized intelligence report provided not a shred of evidence linking Russia to the hacking of the DNC; thus, concluding absolutely nothing. Political analysts, journalists, and those bearing at least some critical thinking ability dismissed the report altogether, as the first half contained nothing but baseless assertions, inconsistencies, and contradictions, while the second half was devoted entirely to irrelevant Russia Today bashing.

One would think that the increased potential of nuclear armageddon would dissuade political elites from accusing a nuclear power of such crimes without solid proof, but liberals never cease to amaze. Unfazed by popular skepticism and/or the general lack of evidence of Russia’s involvement, the liberal bourgeoisie, conjuring recycled Cold War sentiments, advanced their partisan crusade against Trump, painting him as some sort of Russian puppet installed to do the unconditional bidding of President Vladimir Putin.



Eleven months have passed since the birth of these Russian hacking conspiracies, but the Trump-Russia non-scandal has persisted to dominate American political discourse ever since — with skepticism in the minority, surviving as fringe thought, at best. Trump’s actual conflicts of interest and legitimate criticism of his policies have drowned into irrelevance as his every tweet receives 24x7 coverage and the liberal mainstream media entertains any and every conspiracy theory of Russian collusion known to man.

Trump’s True Scandals

(Time Magazine Map of Trump’s business dealings around the globe)

Time Magazine mapped out Trump’s business dealings around the globe earlier this year, but the liberal circus in Washington only focuses on one: Russia.

1. Saudi Arabia

Trump registered eight new businesses in Saudi Arabia during his presidential campaign. Saudi Arabia, a Salafist theocracy governed by the House of Saud, a country that requires women to have male guardians, one that has institutionalized racism as official state policy by banning Saudi men from marrying women from Pakistan, Bangladesh, Chad, and Burma, fails to receive as much attention from liberal social justice warriors as Russia. If Trump’s business dealings with Saudi Arabia and its deplorable record on human rights are not enough to turn liberal stomachs, then surely signs of Trump’s growing diplomatic and economic rapprochement between our two countries will. After railing against Saudi Arabia’s financing of Salafi/Wahhabi terrorist groups throughout the entirety of his campaign, Trump has signed a $100 billion arms deal with Saudi Arabia that could potentially amount to $300 billion over the next decade. But yet again, radio silence from our favorite liberal snowflakes in the US. Even arming the number one sponsor of global terror is not enough to elicit a response from the American liberal community. The Democratic Party chastises the Republican Party for not respecting the rights of women and minorities, but in the same breath turns a blind eye to our unwavering support for Saudi Arabia, a country that persecutes women and minorities. Why? This may be a case of willful ignorance for the average Democratic Party loyalist, but when it comes to the liberal elite — it’s far more sinister.

2. Trump’s Anti-Russian Policies

At some point, the Russian puppet is expected to implement one or two pro-Russian policies, but President Vladimir Putin’s own has failed in that regard. President Trump has not proposed a single policy that would benefit Russia or the Russian government. After Trump rejected an Exxon-Russia oil deal, denying Exxon permission to bypass sanctions and drill for oil in Russia, Exxon signed an oil deal with Saudi Arabia, with Secretary of State Rex Tillerson present. Has the public taken notice? Will the corporate media cover this? Of course not — it would weaken the official narrative of the Democratic Party and the liberal elite.

Even after attacking Russia on Crimea (a conflict which Trump knows nothing about), bombing Putin’s ally, and killing Exxon’s oil deal with Russia, liberals remain unconvinced, and continue to push Trump-Russia in their everlasting partisan quest to avenge the loss of their dear Queen Hillary.

3. Trump’s Imperialism: Bombing Yemen, Syria, & Afghanistan

Trump’s imperialism goes virtually unnoticed in the midst of mainstream Russophobia and the liberal media’s continuous attempts to revive the Cold War. Since inauguration, Trump has increased drone strikes by 432%, bombed Yemen, Syria, and Afghanistan, and escalated tensions with North Korea.

Yemen: The first military raid carried out under President Trump killed 30 civilians in Yemen — including an 8 year-old American girl. Trump has since expanded military operations in Yemen and his recent arms deal with Saudi Arabia only signals further support for the Saudi assault on Yemen.

Syria: After unsubstantiated claims of President Bashar al-Assad’s alleged use of chemical weapons made the rounds in western media circles, Trump bombed a Syrian government airbase, without even first confirming Assad’s role in perpetrating the deadly chemical attacks that killed over 80 people this past April in Idlib.

Afghanistan: After bombing Syria, Trump dropped America’s most powerful non-nuclear bomb, nicknamed the “mother of all bombs,” on ISIS caves in Afghanistan that killed over 90 ISIS militants.

Trump’s imperialism has turned no heads in the liberal political sphere so far; some have even praised Trump’s hawkish foreign policy and described it as “beautiful,” proving that one can always count on both parties to unite on imperialism. What it does expose is the longstanding commitment to imperialism that is so deeply inherent to liberal politics — which is precisely what the Democratic Party so desperately seeks to conceal from the American left. And exaggerating Trump-Russia does so perfectly. What’s incredibly dangerous is that Trump now knows that imperialism/militaristic aggression wins bipartisan applause. In an effort to divert attention from domestic politics and boost approval ratings, Trump could possibly just bomb another country or even launch World War III. Without an anti-war left in the US, Trump would almost certainly succeed; political elites of both parties along with the liberal mainstream media would praise his warmongering and overlook any horrendous decision-making at home.

Not only does the Trump-Russia non-scandal obscure the Democratic Party’s covert support for neorealist foreign policy and imperialism, it shields the Democratic Party from criticism and absolves them of their various crimes. Interestingly so, Trump-Russia compels both political parties to unite under the umbrella of “patriotism." Any defectors or skeptics are charged with treason and/or spying for the Russian government and promptly silenced.

Trump-Russia only confirms liberal abandonment of reason for partisanship. Their emotional attachment to the Democratic Party blinds them from the fact that there is no merit behind Trump-Russia and that their hyper-partisan energy would be best devoted to serious introspection — so that they can change the party they hold so dear to their hearts to represent all Americans, not just the corporate elite. If not, the Democratic Party will wither away as what Trump-Russia has reduced it to: a traveling circus led by loyal ringleaders Nancy Pelosi and Maxine Waters.
