DONALD TRUMP ENDS 2017 RESIDING IN HIS ENEMIES' HEADS
30 December, 2017 | Kurt Schlichter
He was supposed to lose the primary, but he didn't. He was supposed to lose 
the general, but he didn't. He was supposed to fall victim to the covert 
schemes of leftist bureaucrats and the overt obstruction of The Resistance, 
but he didn't. Instead, Donald Trump has prospered as the most conservative 
president since Ronald Reagan. And it's breaking the souls of his enemies.
The elite keeps losing to the guy they tell us is dumb. The elite keeps 
losing to the guy they tell us is a clown. The elite keeps losing to the guy 
who doesn't meet their bottom line standard to be worthy of governing - 
being one of the elite. So, what's that make the elite?
He just refuses to lose. He just refuses to submit. He just refuses to give 
a damn about what they say or what they think. And that infuriates them. He 
won't take a knee, but he will offer them a finger.
Brick by brick, he is disassembling the rickety edifice of Barack Obama's 
transformed America. Regulations? Slashed, even as the screams of the 
professional expert class echo across the District of Columbia. ISIS? Dead, 
with our military unleashed to hunt down our enemies without hesitation or 
mercy. The Courts? Packed, not with squishy wimps ready to bend to the will 
of the WaPo and the Georgetown cocktail crew but with true conservatives 
determined to fight for the Constitution.
Slowly, it's dawning on Trump's enemies - on our enemies - that this isn't 
just an unfortunate, temporary bump in the road to the Californiaization of 
America, but a U-turn.
Trump's allegedly conservative Never Trump opponents never were serious 
about being conservative. It's easy to grift the donors with big talk about 
culture wars and policy initiatives when you never expect to be in a 
position to actually pull them off. But the Normals finally got sick of 
election year bomb-throwers morphing into pliable puffboys once their reps 
crossed into the Beltway. And that's how you got Trump.
Suddenly, the fake hardcore facade of Conservative, Inc., was revealed for 
what it was - a pose, an act, tiresome political voguing.
When someone finally showed up who actually wanted to act on all the things 
the pro-cons had been talking and writing about for decades, well, that didn't 
leave a lot of room for those who only wanted to talk and write and 
luxuriate in being insiders.
Never Trumpism spends a lot of time whining about how Trump is "vulgar" and 
"unfit," but what these guys really resent is that he has embarrassed them. 
He showed them up. He did what they had been yakking endlessly about doing, 
and they hate him for it. They much prefer the quiet dignity of losing under 
a Bush or a Romney to obscurity under a Trump.
That's why they hate Trump. He just showed the world that they were 
irrelevant. And that's unforgiveable.
Trump's kickin' it old school in his enemies' heads, chillin' in their 
cerebral crib. His foes defined themselves by not being him. The Democrats' 
tax policy? Not Trump. Their regulatory policy? Not Trump. Their foreign 
policy? Not Trump. And it's the same with the allegedly conservative Never 
Trumpers. How do you get an alleged conservative to oppose moving our 
embassy to Israel's capital? Get Trump to finally do it.
They are all about Trump, 24/7. CNN, and its silly Don Lemons and Tater 
Stelters, need Trump. They have nothing but Trump to fill their empty lives, 
getting giddy every time some media outlet reports that someone who knows 
somebody who heard somebody say that maybe Mueller is investigating someone 
who met Trump once for felony jaywalking.
Trump owns his foes. They are mere satellites orbiting around him, and his 
gravity is all that keeps them from spinning off into space. They have 
willingly submitted to the reality of a Trumpocentric political universe.
Their impeachment fever dreams are fading, so they look at popularity polls 
and take solace at the numbers. They took solace in them on November 8, 
2016, too. It's a bit over 10 months to the midterms, and there is a 
growing, gnawing fear in their guts not that tax reform will be a disaster 
but that it will succeed. They look at their swelling 401(k)s and mourn 
their prosperity.
And Trump rolls on, not seeking their approval, not conforming to their 
demands, ignoring them when he isn't mocking them on Twitter. He refuses to 
acknowledge their superiority, their right to rule over us Normals.
Trump represents Normal Americans, the ones the elite on both the right and 
the left look down upon with contempt and fear. They don't really hate 
Donald Trump. They hate who he represents. They hate us. And they hate that 
they can't do a damn thing about it.
