The Demolition President

Guest Post by Scott Adams

President Trump has delivered on a number of promises for his base. But there was an impressive amount of breakage along the way. You might say he President Trump did as much demolition as he did construction. The press is doing a good job of telling us what he accomplished in 2017. But they keep leaving out all the stuff he broke that probably needed to be broken. I’ll fix that for you here.

GOP – Trump broke the GOP and reconstructed it along his terms, successfully it seems.

DNC – The DNC has no charismatic leader, no game plan, and little money.

Clinton Dynasty – Done

Bush Dynasty – Done

Mainstream Media – The public learned that news coverage is based on bias as much as fact.

NFL – Ratings down, attendance down.

If President Trump were a large piece of construction equipment, which one would he be?

FBI (leadership) – The FBI as a whole is still highly credible, but the leadership is not.

Pundits – Nearly all the pundits were wrong about Trump’s nomination, election, and successful (by Republican standards) first year.

Government Regulations – For good or bad, we have fewer regulations now.

Hollywood – Big stars are alienating 40% of their potential audience whenever they take time off from groping.

North Korea – They used to have a pathetic but functioning economy. That situation is changing rapidly.

ISIS – Remember ISIS? They used to be a big deal.

TPP – Pulled out

Paris Climate Accord – Pulled out

Reality – I told you in 2015 that candidate Trump would change more than politics. I told you he would change the way we saw reality. Do you remember when you thought the news reported facts and that humans used those facts to make reasoned decisions? You probably don’t think that anymore.

I’m probably leaving out some stuff that got broken. It’s been a busy year.

“President Trump has delivered on a number of promises for his base. But there was an impressive amount of breakage along the way. You might say he President Trump did as much demolition as he did construction. ”

Yep, that is what he promised and why I voted for him.

You can’t make an omelette without breaking eggs, and the deep state establishment needs to be treated like those eggs if we want to come up with something worth having in the process.

Wouldn’t it be loverly to watch the faces and hear the wailing of the Progressives as Hillary gets marched off to the penitentiary, or boards a flight to Guantanamo? This would not be schadenfreude, which is satisfaction or pleasure felt at someone else’s misfortune, because there is no misfortune but exactly the opposite: justice, sublime justice, at long last.

“Hollywood – Big stars are alienating 40% of their potential audience whenever they take time off from groping.”

I think it’s a lot higher than 40%.


“North Korea – They used to have a pathetic but functioning economy. That situation is changing rapidly.”

That’s a scary scenario, imho. Keep punishing the Norks into utter impoverishment while humiliating them … until they have nothing to lose. What could go wrong?

“ISIS – Remember ISIS? They used to be a big deal.”

Trump had little to do with the end of ISIS.

Not sure if the FBI is “still highly credible”.

I agree with the rest of it.

David Icke calles him president two mouths. Lots of truth in that.
An outsider?? Not hardly. He is one of da boyz.

That’s the most impressive guy I’ve seen in my lifetime. Equal parts smart and tough. One guy taking on that whole machine. Nobody thought it could be done. And he’s just getting started.

The guy is just getting warmed up.
These next few years promise to be…… interesting.
I find myself actually rooting for him.
If he can publicly tear the guts out of a bunch of corrupt bastards and slash the bloated regulatory sector then I am all for it.

The Tweets can be entertaining too.
He has the media wrapped around his little finger and I find it hilarious to watch when he yanks their chain and they fall all over themselves responding to it like Pavlov’s dog.

That’s an impressive list for only one year. I only wish Neocons was on the list.

Clinton and Bush Dynastis ended but with this new movie will the Kennedy dynasti be revived with Joe Kennedy as crown prince in waiting?

FBI (leadership) – The FBI as a whole is still highly credible, but the leadership is not.

In what world is the FBI credible in any way?…FBI Lab caught rigging results, hundreds of convictions set aside. FBI “experts” caught lying about everything, hundreds of convictions set aside, FBI wire taps known to be obtained by fraud, etc.

I agree with your post, Scott should add the DOJ, looks like they are corrupt as well. Sessions better start indicting Dems and RINOs soon.
Hope 2018 has a wall starting to get built and indictments.

The only thing about to be demolished is eastern Ukraine.

Trump recently approved “lethal aid” aka arms shipments for the stooges in Kiev.

Even Obama didn’t go that far.

McCain wins again.

From what I’ve heard, those arms sales were approved two years ago. Under the Nobel Peace prize winning Messiah’s administration

Scream the (((Battle Cry))) for returning the Republic to the people and Constitution at the top of your lungs and demolish, destroy, relentlessly attack, expose, eliminate, deport, try and convict then lock up every lawless traitor Collectivist, Globalist, Communist, Socialist, Progressive, Antifa, Anarchist Benedict Arnold..and put a Constitutional foot up the asses of the useful idiot shit fer brains jelly head snowflakes and Liberals…

Like rhs jr said…”Full Speed ahead” and dam the enemies of our God Given freedom and liberty and freedom.

1. BARRITUS! Soldiers in the Late Roman army adopted many customs and habits of the Germanic tribes they fought, including a battle cry they called “BARRITUS.” In his work Germania, the historian Tacitus described this martial growl as marked by a “harsh tone and hoarse murmur.” Soldiers would “put their shields before their mouths, in order to make the voice swell fuller and deeper as it echoes back.” According to Tacitus, the goal of the barritus was to kindle courage in the Roman soldiers’ hearts, while striking fear into those of their enemies.

2. Scream the REBEL YELL! Confederate soldiers in the American Civil War developed a uniquely terrifying battle cry to intimidate their enemy and boost their own morale. Called the REBEL YELL!, one Union soldier said it would send “a peculiar corkscrew sensation that went up your spine when you heard it” and that “if you claim you heard it and weren’t scared that means you
never heard it.”

3. UNKHAI! The Mongols of the 13th century were reported to have yelled “Uukhai!” as they went into battle. The translation is something like our modern “Hurray!” — but had a more sacred bent and was used like the Christian “Amen.” After petitioning the sky for aid, Mongols would hold both hands out with palms up and move them in a clockwise circle three times saying “hurray, hurray, hurray.” Such prayers were used in official settings and rituals, to scare away evil spirits, and to shore up both supernatural assistance and the warriors’ morale preceding battle. Modern Mongolian archers shout the phrase and raise their hands to the heavens whenever they score a point in competition.

4. BRATACH BHAN CHLANN AOIDH…The Mackay slogan is “BRATACH BHAN CHLANN AOIDH” meaning “The White Banner of Mackay.” It’s in reference to the white battle flag that Ian Aberach carried when he led the Mackays at the Battle of DrumnaCoub in 1433.

5. ALALA! Before a battle, the Ancient Greeks would ask for the blessings of ALALA! — the goddess of the war cry — by shouting out her name as loudly and fiercely as possible. Greek hoplites hoped that Alala would answer their supplication by amplifying their cry and thus scaring the living daylights out of their enemies.

6. BANZAI…Japanese infantrymen were thus trained to make a last-ditch suicide attack when they were all but beaten. As they ran towards enemy fire, they’d scream “TENNO HRIKA BANZAI! — “Long live the Emperor!” Kamikaze pilots were said to have yelled the same thing as they flew their planes into enemy warships. The battle cry was often shortened to just “BANZAI” Because the battle cry was shouted in conjunction with these suicidal barrages, Allied forces began calling this quintessentially Japanese battle strategy “Banzai attacks.”

7. HOKAHEY…TODAY IS A GOOD DAY TO DIE! American Indian warriors were adept practitioners of the war cry (and no, they didn’t “Whoo! Whoo!” by patting their mouth with their hand). Each tribe had a distinct battle shout. Sometimes they’d yell words that referenced tribe principles. But like most cries men give during battle, an Indian warrior would often just holler and wail as fiercely as he could to intimidate his enemy.
Perhaps the most famous Indian battle cry comes from the Lakota Sioux. During the Great Sioux War of 1876-1877, Lakota war chief Crazy Horse is said to have exhorted his warriors to fight the U.S. Army by exclaiming HOKAHEY…TODAY IS A GOOD DAY TO DIE!

Many people wrongly translate “Hokahey!” to mean “Today is a good day to die” simply because Crazy Horse said the phrase after shouting “Hokahey!” According to the website Native Languages, however, HOKAHEY is a Sioux exclamation that translates roughly to “LETS DO IT! or “LETS ROLL!” So what Crazy Horse actually said was LETS ROLL MEM! TODAY IS A GOOD DAY TO DIE!”

8. EiEi! The samurai were an elite warrior and political class that dominated Japan for hundreds of years. Right before a battle, the daimyo, or warlord, would raise his signaling flag and shout “EiEi!” to which the samurai would respond with “OH!” Then all hell would be unleashed on the enemy.

9. USUTHU! In 1879, the British army fought the Zulus in what is now South Africa. Using nothing but spears and long shields made of cowhide, Zulu warriors were able to repulse the first invasion of the heavily armed British troops. The Usuthu were a faction in the Zulu Kingdom, and they took their name from a type of cattle their warrior ancestors used to pillage during wars. To keep alive their memory, and perhaps to summon the power of their brave forebearers, these men would shout out “USUTHU!” during battle. Other factions within the kingdom used this battle cry as well during the Anglo-Zulu War.

10. ODIN OWNS YOU ALL! Before battle, the Vikings would often invoke their warrior gods to give them the strength and power to defeat their enemies. In fact, Odin, the Norse god of wisdom, inspired one of their commonly used battle cries. According to Norse mythology, in the very first war in the world, Odin flung a spear over the entire host gathered for battle. Viking kings and commanders would thus emulate the Allfather by having one warrior throw a spear over their enemies’ heads, while the rest of the troops yelled: “ODIN OWNS YOU ALL! (A thousand years later, Viking metal band Einherjer would use this battle cry for the title of their 1998 album, Odin Owns Ye All. The spirit of Odin lives on.)

11. HAKKAA PAALLE! During battle, the Finnish light cavalrymen would cry out “HAKKAA PAALLE!” meaning, “Cut them down!” right before they would ride roughshod over their enemy with gleaming swords drawn.

Because of their famous battle cry, these cavalrymen became known as the Hakkapeliitta.
The Bible mentions several war cries, with perhaps the most famous example being found in the 7th chapter of the Book of Judges. Gideon (whose name means “Destroyer” or “Mighty Warrior”) was called by Yahweh to free the people of Israel from the Midianites. By God’s command, Gideon took with him just 300 men whom he chose using a simple test: when the troops stopped to drink from a river, he watched to see who stuck their faces in the water and drank directly from the river (taking their eyes off what was going on around them), and who drank by cupping the water with their hand and lifting it to their mouths (leaving their eyes free to scan the environment). He picked the latter to be his warriors. This doesn’t have anything to do with their battle cry, but it’s an awesome example of situational awareness!
Anyway, when night fell, Gideon led his 300 men into the Midianite camp carrying horns and torches concealed in a clay jar (these were basically Molotov cocktails). At his command, the men blew their horns, threw down their torches, and shouted “THE SWORD OF THE LORD AND GIDEON!”

12. “BOLE SO NLHA!…SATSRI AKAL! is a Sikh slogan, or jaikara (literally shout of victory, triumph, or exultation) popularized by Guru Gobind Singh, the last of the 10 Sikh Gurus. It’s used to express joy and is often used in Sikh liturgy. It was also employed by Sikh warriors as a battle cry.

13. JAYA MHAKALI AYO GORKALI The Gurkha are an elite unit of soldiers from Nepal that have a global reputation for courage and fighting prowess. Stories of a single modern Gurkha warrior stopping a robbery and saving a girl from rape by taking on 40 thieves at the same time have buttressed this reputation; their use of the traditional, badass khukuri knife hasn’t hurt it either.

Going into battle the Gurkhas will yell in unison: JAYA MHAKALI AYO GORKALI”! — “Glory to Great Kali, the Gorkhas approach!”

14. DESPERTA FERRO! The Almogavars were soldiers from Christian Iberia (what is now Spain and Portugal) who fought the Muslims during the Reconquista. Before and during battle, the Almogavars would shout DESPERTA FERRO! — meaning “Awaken Iron!” — while striking their swords and lances on stones to create a cascade of sparks.

I saved my favorite war cry for last…..

15. “OORAH!” has been the go-to battle cry for the U.S. Marine Corps since about the Vietnam War. It’s not only used as a battle cry, but also as a way for Marines to greet their fellow leathernecks.
