Trump is smart like a fox. The Democrat-dominated media is all awash in the latest fundraising numbers, showing that – ever since Trump nominated Amy Coney Barrett, soon a Justice – Democrat fundraising has exploded. The media miss a key point.
Yes, Amy Coney Barrett is a strict constructionist, textualist, former Scalia clerk – judicial conservative. Yes, she will soon wear the robes of a Justice. Yes, she will bring considerable intellectual firepower and judicial acumen to bear – reviewing Obamacare and Roe v. Wade. Yes, the Democrat obsession with socialized medicine and abortion was triggered.
But bigger things are afoot. Trump knows it. First, the Republican base knows restoring the judiciary to a faithful reading of the Constitution may be Trump’s most significant and enduring legacy. Saying “go” to Barrett’s appointment did three things. It reminded us the next four years decide the next 40, Trump never backs down, and Trump keeps promises.
Second, it lit a stick of dynamite, bringing back to the surface two wedge issues – the failures, premium hikes, and unworkable nature of socialist Obamacare, and the morally indefensible nature of on-demand-abortion, now including at-birth – both defended by Democrats. The fact that these two issues are now in play – although Democrats do not get it– is huge.
Understand that, on broad polling, Obamacare is favored by a small minority of Americans. While 8.5 million signed up in 2019, many younger Americans are taking a pass – and most working Americans prefer coverage through better private insurance from their employer.
With Biden-Harris vowing to end private health insurance, pushing Americans into high-cost-low-quality care, Democrats misunderstand the American temperament. Americans prefer higher quality, personally tailored, affordable, private insurance. Just as they prefer to work than be locked down, they prefer their employer’s insurance coverage to Obamacare.
Likewise, the numbers on abortion are stunning. Please read slowly: A Harvard-Harris poll shows only eight percent of Americans favor third-trimester abortion; only six percent favor it at birth. Put differently, 94 percent disapprove of the Democrat position. This is significant. See, e.g., https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/06/01/poll-8-americans-abortion-legal-third-trimester/.
Notably, Trump knows it. Like President Trump, AMAC has staked out a strong position against abortion. Most recently, AMAC supported the “Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act,” protecting children at birth, imposing consequences on those who do not.
But the bigger point is that Trump understood where Democrats would go, beat them at their own game. He knew they would play their extreme positions – in a time when Americans were no longer willing to play along. Americans are – on balance– not stupid or immoral. They know Obamacare has failed; they know later term abortion is wrong. So does Trump.
But Trump’s biggest insight – believe it or not – was on media. He knew, appealing to their extreme base, that Democrats would jump on Barrett. He knew she would acquit herself well in congressional hearings, was smart, poised, honorable, affable, and irrepressibly irrepressible. In sum, she was what America needs on the High Court. He knew the media would trumpet the hearings – and thus her acumen, decency, and innate goodness.
At the same time, he knew that this nomination – together with the constellation of issues afoot at this moment, from foreign policy and national security to border sanctity, threat of unrestrained socialism to Biden’s fragility, economic concerns to an independent judiciary- would enliven, perhaps even enrage, the Democrat media.
The result has been remarkable, and predictable. While Democrats raised money on the Barrett nomination, something bigger is happening. President Trump is producing billions of dollars in earned media. In 2016, a relative unknown yet admirably defiant Trump earned roughly two billion in “earned media” – that is stories, for which he did not pay. This cycle, the numbers are well beyond that.
Most interestingly, as Biden camps out in his basement – “poster child” for political cowardice, personal arrogance, and socialist assumptions about indifference or naivete of the American people – Trump is on the trail, fighting, working, advancing the cause of the Constitution – and gaining earned media daily.
Trump knows that high office is earned, never given. He knows effort is respected, along with fidelity to principle. He is a born fighter, not interested in a pass, bye, or basement. He set up the Barrett appointment, and advanced it as methodically as any president in modern history. He was surefooted, his faith in the future and American people unbounded. He is now pressing his advantage – and to good effect.
While the media mumbles and fumbles, reporting Democrat fundraising numbers, do not doubt the wider strategy. Trump is pulling billions in earned media – and for all the right reasons, on all the right issues, for all Americans who believe in this nation. Trump is ahead by several moves, as Biden takes America by bunny hops. Trump is … smart like a fox.
Trump at rally yesterday “that he might fire Fauci when elected: this to chants of Fire Fauci from crowd! Trump also said now do not tell the news people. Amazes me that crowd would chant to fire Fauci ( how would they know what is right). This causes a divided nation & is not Smart as a Fox but very arrogant to people that still listen to Fauci.
The truth of what is going in within the Democrat Party, which I seldom see addressed in the media, is many in the leadership of the Democrat Party are Communist. Reading the book “You Can trust the Communists (to be Communists).pdf provides the Communists steps used since the time of Lenin to implement Communist into a country’s government. The book can be found for free online by searching the title.
This book reminded me about Bill Clinton’s desire to visit Russia and Russia allowed him in.
This book states the USSR only allowed those to visit that they believed they could use and then remember, they gave permission for Bill Clinton to visit when he was a Rhodes scholar.
Bernie Sanders was able to visit. People should ask, why were these two men were so infatuated with Russia.
Obama also has Communism in his upbringing. Remember Obama and Michelle hung Mao Christmas ornaments on the White House tree and no one made a big deal out it.
Nancy Pelosi’s mentor was Vivian Halinan whose far left lawyer husband defended Communists and hosted parties for the CPUSA. And then there was her Chinese chauffeur who worked for her for decades.
Dems are working to destroy our country by creating chaos as well as attempting to remove history & they have already taken over education.
We need to keep vigilant and be prepared for what they may promote in the near future.
Good article. I have to make a comment on the fox is smart. I am a Native American. We have a story about the fox, in fact, (2) stories. #1, The fox joined a race where the turtle won. He thought that the turtle is so slow, so he napped along the way. But the good story and true one is the when the wars were going on, on the tribes, they used the fox to delivered message. He did it. But GO TRUMP….
Thank you Mr. Charles
It should be the goal of ALL citizens and even more so political leaders to follow the letter of the constitution. Even if people have a different view on political and social issues than those of the conservative view, they need to acknowledge priority of following the constitution. The test of passing law over a conservative view is important for future rights of our people. Without, or even changing the constitution should be guarded against. That is really what these judges are called to do and paid to do. Any lawyer worth his or her salt should know this. Clearly, this fine judge sees that responsibility as #1 priority. Some laws may seem to be a good idea at the time, but as time goes on they become a burden and simply wrong for a free society. The watchful eye of judges in this position is how this is done. A very wise system when not abused.
Vote up arrow is not working even though I signed in on iPhone.
Thank God for President Trump!!
US has another factor that President Trump battles on a daily basis known as the DC swamp aided and funded by China and Russia and possibly other countries who view a super power based on a democrcy as a threat to their dictatorships. Those riots on the street have been rumored to be infiltrated by foreign fighters as have organizations like BLM. MSM and social media fights President Trump on daily basis!with their disinformation. . President Trump can’t do it by himself. Vote to preserve what our founding fathers gifted us.
Trump is really making fun of Covid at rally the last few times. Today, he said after Nov. 4th you will hear no more. What did he mean by comment?? And yesterday, Mark Meadows said they will not defeat the virus, but treat it with therapeutics & vaccines. Does this mean that herd immunity & vaccines are going to be the Covid19 plan if Trump wins election? lots of little hints to what ?? Also today, Trump said will take care of older people as the young people bounce right back if positive. Pray for USA to do the right thing to get back to normal.
PLEASE, Republicans, Libertarians, Conservatives and Independents, don’t sit on your hands . Get out there and vote to eradicate the insanity of the Left at EVERY level, and in every State, Town, and city. Not just THIS year, but forever more!
100% TRUE!!!! LOVE POTUS AND THE PROMISE OF A GREAT AMERICA HE GIVES TO US EVERY DAY. I PRAY THAT GOD KEEPS HIS HANDS ON HIM AND CONTINUES TO BLESS THE USA!!!!!
Trump is a Godsend – he is amazing and gets the job done – idc if he is harsh we live in harsh times and need a person who fits the bill! Trump 2020
I hope the US electorate is as smart as you are giving them credit. I started to loose faith in the intelligence of the American voter when they elected Obama the second time.
If the democrats think “in the street mass demonstrations” can overturn the elections outcome, they badly, & poorly underestimate our National Guard. ANTIFA & BLM punks, even pushing “Chick’s up front” won’t last minutes, when the Guard is let loose, the day after the Election. Maneuver & enclose & put them down.
I, We, can only hope this election results in a Red Wave carrying in enough GOP Congressmen & Senators to have support on all these issues for Americans.
Every life is precious, matters, & every baby should live. Abortion must go back to only a medical necessity, first trimester or Mother’s Life, matter. Not up to birth, or even after birth, as some radicals are calling for.
We can — Trump is — reforming health care. Get rid of obama care & the $500 million drain on Medicare it created. Come up with sensible, patient-doctor based health care, not another government bureaucratic nightmare.
Bring factories back to the USA for all medical needs, defense needs, & consumer goods. Not be dependent on China or anywhere else.
Praying for RED WAVE!

I think a better term is “dumb like a fox”, meaning he is cunning, tricky, and sly. Every time his opponents think they have him….BLAM!!!….He slams the trap shut and the opponents wonder what the hell happened!
In reality, Trump admits he likes chaos. Some of his tweets are not smart as a fox, but big mistakes. Some things he says at rallies are not smart like a fox, but WH staff tries to cover them up by he is just having fun at his rallies. The tweets & televised words used at rallies cannot be called fake news as they are now part of history , not just in US but to other countries listening.
I watched 60-minutes last night (one that Trump walked out) & did not see where Trump was asked real bad questions. He came in looking angry & left the same way. He does not understand that “The Buck Stops Here”. He is right that it is China fault that virus is here , but someday he will admit that it is his job to come up with plan to stop it. His only plan now is to wait for vaccine?? Soon before election, soon by end of year, soon ???
I believe the old saying is “CRAZY LIKE A FOX”. While Biden is a chicken hiding in the basement hoping the fox will give up and leave him alone. Not gonna happen.
The fox eats chickens, and he doesn’t give up. Our fox President Trump, is gonna eat that Biden chicken. And I’m gonna help him out by voting TRUMP and a straight republican ticket. 4 more wonderful years!!!! YAY
Here in Wisconsin I am dismayed by the extreme amount of money Biden is spending on TV and radio ads. They are saturating the market so that you hear how bad Trump is over and over again and how Biden will fix everything for all Americans on any of the network channels and many cable channels as well – numerous times in any hour. I am a staunch supporter of Trump but fear that this kind of “brain washing” is instilling terror in many voter’s minds and will be more effective in gaining voters than the earned media coverage that Trump is so adept at getting. Articles like this help allay some of that fear and I hope with all my heart that voters make the correct decision in November and we get another four years of Trump’s incredible success. The swamp still has a lot of stagnant junk in it on both sides of the aisle.
Great Article, Keen insight.
The anti american democrats so intent on ruining our Country,Constitution and Freedom are blinded by their own lust for power,propaganda and pillaging to see the bigger picture.
Let’s go America, 4 more years for President Trump who kept ALL his promises.
Throw out the useless corrupt democrats and save this Country.
Good Day Everyone..
This is a very insightful article, it really goes to a core point. One thing throughout this entire political season that has been concerning to me is why, if people are aware of the issues, why they would vote for Biden-Harris?? There may be dual causes of this. First, I believe that most people are aware of the fact that the media, the MSM, has become a communications arm of the DNC. When you present that much negative news and comments, and in fact some outright lies or distortions, it does have an impact over time.
The second is the unprecedented amount of cash that has been contributed to Democratic candidates by the billionaires of silicon valley, George Soros, liberal organizations, etc. The flood of case is just mind boggling and it is hard for conservative candidates to compete against that amount of cash.
Should Mr. Trump lose, but I do not believe that he will (God put him into office and God will not abandon him now.), it would only because of the opposition of the media and an almost unlimited amount of cash.
Those who would vote for Biden-Harris should ask themselves why are very rich people donating?? They obviously expect something for their investment, and that will come on the backs of American citizens, including those who voted for Biden-Harris.
I also cannot believe that Americans would vote for policies that have the potential of putting up to 11 million of their fellow citizens out of work; increasing individual tax burdens; making our country less safe; and essentially overturning what this country stands for and was founded on.
So they key is to keep faith, pray and vote and tell others to do so.
Building the wall. Strengthen our military. Restore our economy, Energy independence. Make VA accountable. Drain the Swamp. Stand up to North Korea and China. Peace in the Middle East. Destroy ISIS. Low unemployment for blacks and Latinos. Sure, there is more work to be done. Look what President Trump has accomplished so far! He deserves 4 more years to finish the job. He is doing 2-3 rallies a day while Joe hides in his basement after doing just one. I want my President to have strength and stamina. President Trump has it! MAGA 2020!
I wish Trump would have hammered home the point that IF Biden would somehow win, it would be the shortest presidency in history. Within days wacko leftists will find that Biden is unfit to govern, then Queen Harris will be installed as the first Communist POTUS!
It is so refreshing to see a president who is not under the thumb of the lobbyists, under the thumb of the Big Pharma, Chems, and people like the traitors called schumer, pelosi, nadler, soros.
It is so uplifting to see that the left’s stupidity is only jumping as high as the little bunny, LOW ON BATTERIES, called Biden.
The left has NO IDEA how the people of the US will vote. The clunt called clinton has NEVER been prepped for the country run by President Trump. She has sold the US to the worst enemies, with no look back, just filling her bank accounts with monies stolen from Haiti, to Russia, and other countries like Iran, thanks to the help of the worst enemy of the US,””””bo the TRAITOR in Chief””””‘s blessings. She is accusing the President from all her SINS, all TREASONOUS acts, with MURDER in front of the plate, and acts worst the Ethel and Julius were punished for.
President TRUMP only needs to keep the seat for another 4 years and most of the traitors will disappear from the scene.
I addressed, wrote notes on, and stamped 498 postcards to inactive Christian voters in Florida as part of a huge campaign by My Faith Votes. No candidate was mentioned, but some Christian values were enumerated. The grassroots efforts have been phenomenal. I’m prayerfully optimistic.
P.S. I had 500 cards; somehow I skipped two names.
Go out there and read in the current Time magazine about the “Great Reset”. It is scary…I have believed for a couple years now that if the Democrats get control, there will execute something called the “American Jubilee”, written about in a book by Porter Stansbury in 2017. How they will basically wipe out debt, and reset the United States financial system. Savings and investments will be crushed, weak banks will go under, the economy that is already hanging by a thread, will collapse completely. Leaving them to control every move to get us out of it. Also look at Robert Reich’s “Truth and Reconcilliation”. McCarthyism at its’ best, and will employ Gestapo like tactics to go after anyone who has supported Trump the last four years.
LOVE THIS!
President Trump is amazing! Each day there are new attacks, plots against him and he comes back fighting stronger than ever! The 60 Minutes Debacle was proof there is no fairness with The Left Wing Media! When Harris was asked about Socialism she sidestepped the question and laughed! Then she went into her actress mode with the “Crocodile Tears”! I wonder if during Biden’s Concession Speech he will call our President “George uh er uh!” President Trump’s energy comes from The Lord. What other man could travel day after day to 3-4 Rallies, accomplish what he has and never get tired? God is our Mighty Fortress and we need to keep praying.
Yes,Trump’s policies have been genius. He is accomplishing things that the professional politicians in both parties have said were impossible, such as the peace deals in he middle-east and the economic growth before the pandemic. His policies, which is what I vote for, have been stellar. But he has also been his own worst enemy with some of his ill-worded tweets. Those tweets have given a vast amount of ammunition to his adversaries. I wish he would employ and heed some advisor who would review and approve every single word of his before it is issued. Better wording of his tweets would help, not eliminate but help, defuse his opponents. Based on policy he is one of the best president’s in history, yet he continues to be vilified and opposed mainly because of his words. Should Biden win, it will be because of that.
I’m glad to hear that Trump’s campaign is benefiting from earned media. I gave money to the campaign and now I am bombarded multiple times a day to give more; made to feel guilty that the Democrats are raising more money. I have long held a belief that money is not the be-all, end-all in politics. This story provides some measure of vindication to my views.
Patriot Will,
Thank you for reading, caring, fighting the good fight, and commenting. AMAC represents the best of America, in my earnest view – and AMAC members ARE moving the ball upfield! Thank you again, and onward! V/R,

Great insight, great article!!!
Everything is looking good for a Trump/Pence 2nd term, but we mustn’t become complacent! VOTE, VOTE, VOTE OUR VERY FREEDOM DEPENDS UPON IT. It really comes down to just two issues, FREEDOM or COMMUNISM.
AMAC is AWESOME! Pick the right side of the debate and stick to it. It’s the only way we dig ourselves out of the quagmire that has been engineered around us by the SWAMP.
Trump Delivers while Biden Dithers. There is only 1 clear choice. Trump in 2020, or Biden/Kamala destruction in 2021.
So happy to read this article…I have felt that President Trump has good instincts and knows or sees more than he publicly admits. We are lucky to have someone who out thinks and is a few steps ahead of them. I also know it drives them crazy ..Hooray to our side ..!!
This is an excellent article! I hope everyone will read it from beginning to end. As far as the Dems go, all they do is call the
Republicans names, the latest one being CHUMP by, in the basement, Biden. Then when Kamala is asked about Socialism,
all she does is laugh. What does that tell you? They won’t tell the American People the truth about their Socialistic Policies and
who will be running the Country, heaven help us, if they get elected. President Trump deserves so much credit for everything
he has done for WE THE PEOPLE and now with Judge Barrett to be named to the Supreme Court, this is just the latest
accomplishment for our President. One other note, how do you get elected by living in your basement! This does not show
interest in the people or our Country. Look at President Trump, out on the campaign trail, constantly meeting the people. He
surely deserves to be re-elected for 4 more years.
As I’ve mentioned before, I do petitioning. I have heard that when President Trump is re-elected, that I expect many new petitions. Locally, here in California, there is talk of Recall petitions on Pelosi, Schiff and Maxine Waters if they all win. And best of all, a Nationwide petition on Term Limits! Go President Trump!!! … Though first he will have to putdown the nasty rebellious BLM and Antifa rioters. I welcome Martial Law and mobilizing the National Guard to quell these uprisings. A Trump re-election signifies an official end of the Progressively Communist Democratic Party as we now know it to be!
AMAC is MY kind of seniors organization. It’s why I’m a member and NOT a member of AARP!
Your writings always encourage me in this time of overwhelming fear that we might lose our country as we have known it. I really wish that all Americans were seeing the SAME, TRUE news. It would make such a difference. Thank you, Mr. Charles, for your educated and well-written articles! Along with so many others, I am praying daily that Americans are going to vote FOR America!
I have always thought Trump used the liberal media better than anyone ever has. Trump’s name is on the liberal news networks and face time on TV counts. Biden is hiding and they have nothing to give about him except he was out and bought an ice-cream, big deal. TRUMP 2020!
