American Liberty Report – As President Donald Trump works through his first weeks and months in office, a possible danger to his administration may be emerging: popular discontent. Although it’s been known for some time, Trump’s potential biggest obstacle may be none other than himself.

Rather than attempting to assuage people’s anger at him and his actions, Trump has taken off the gloves; it’s almost as if he’s daring voters to try to conduct an impeachment campaign, as progressive filmmaker, activist and perennial nutjob Michael Moore has sworn to do.

In essence, Trump is being vintage Trump — combative, mean-spirited at times and unwilling to yield any quarter in his long-running battle with the Democrats. But from a man who went to military school, his behavior is a bit odd; classic military strategy is to let your enemy’s strength dissipate and fade before taking bold and decisive action; the worst time to be combative is when your enemy is at the peak of their strength and organization.

Indeed, the Democrats are in a very tense state right now, still smarting from their deep wounds in November 2016’s election when they lost not only the presidency, but failed to regain the Senate, the House and the majority of governorships as well. Instead of letting the Democrats “cool off,” and mutter about their mistakes, it’s as if Trump is daring them to pull a hidden can of spinach from somewhere and go full Popeye.

Traditional Democratic pot-stirrers are having a field day as the mainstream media has picked apart every minute of Trump’s presidency so far from the so-called forlorn glances of Melania Trump at the president’s inauguration to the supposed pettiness of Trump’s statements about the size of his inaugural crowds.

Democratic donors and financiers such as George Soros are practically exploding with joy from all the action on social media, which has been ablaze with anti-Trump messages, memes, articles and rants. In fact, for Democratic operatives, it’s a cornucopia of riches as discussions, complaints and condemnations of the Republican commander-in-chief are at an all-time high.

While it’s true that Trump made promises to voters to enact a certain amount of legislation in his first 100 days (which he’s making excellent progress at), from a strategic point of view, it may not be wise to stir up a hornet’s nest while the hornets are still “out and about,” so to speak.

There are two ways to look at what Trump is doing — he may be trying to enact the most provocative legislation now so as to “get it out of the way” before Democrats can really dig in to form hardcore opposition to him, or he may be playing a game of “chicken” with them that he thinks he can win due to Republican control of both houses of Congress and most state legislatures.

The fact of the matter is that any effort at impeachment of Trump can’t go anywhere if votes are split purely on party lines, and both Democrats and Republicans know this. However, things are not always so clear-cut, and the Republican majority in the Senate is achieved by only two members of that body.

In order for Trump to absolutely dominate in any impeachment struggle, Senate Republicans would need to bind together absolutely tightly, although it’s highly improbable that Democrats could get any articles of impeachment through the House before getting to the Senate. That’s not to say that the Democrats wouldn’t give impeachment a mighty effort.

Of course, even if Trump were somehow impeached, that would make Mike Pence the president, and for some Democrats, this prospect might be even more undesirable.

If somehow the Democrats were able to impeach Trump AND Pence, Speaker of the House Paul Ryan would be made the president, and while rank-and-file Democrats may not savor that prospect, there are likely globalist elites who may be smacking their lips at that thought (if you remember, Ryan was in favor of the Transpacific Partnership [TPP] and other free-trade agreements).

If one wants to engage in conspiracy theories, one could be tempted to say that impeachment is not the only method by which Trump could be “taken out” of the White House, and some pundits such as Alex Jones, Ron Paul and others have highlighted this left-field concept as a possibility.

But the hard truth of the matter is that it’s quite possible that Trump is savoring his moment; he knows that he’s enjoying an extremely rare time in history when as the Republican leader, he’s nearly unencumbered by the Democratic minorities in the other branches of government (which will soon likely include the Supreme Court with time).

But history — particularly military history — teaches that one of the most dangerous times to fight an opponent is when they’re backed into a corner; sometimes being graceful in victory can be as important as being cavalier in defeat.
