The Legalized Lynching of Trumpenstein

• https://www.lewrockwell.com By Donald Jeffries

Readers of my work know how I feel about Donald Trump. I'm part of the smallest minority group in the world- what my friend John Barbour termed the Trump Agnostics. I just can't get worked up enough over his larger than life personality to either love him or hate him. Obviously, more than 300 million Americans disagree.

Trump's 2016 campaign rhetoric was like none we'd heard before in modern American history. He mentioned things that no other candidate ever had, and he did so in a very loud way. Bigly. I voted for him because of immigration. I realized he was not going to do everything he promised, but if he did anything at all to slow down the open borders madness, and deported any appreciable number of illegal immigrants, then that would be a huge win for the American people. It didn't take long for many of us to realize that Trump wasn't going to do anything at all to address our disastrous immigration policies. In fact, he wound up deporting fewer illegals that Barack Obama.

Eventually, I postulated that Trump was an actor, hired to play a role. Given populist talking points, that were bound to resonate with millions of Americans tired of the same stale speeches defending a totally corrupt system. I dubbed it the Trumpenstein Project.
