Video: Tom Klingenstein on Trump 2020: A Man vs. A Movement

My name is Tom Klingenstein. I am the chair of the board of the Claremont Institute which is a conservative think tank, managing partner of a New York investment firm and playwright.

I wish to make three points. First, Trump is the perfect man for these times, not all times, perhaps not most times, but these times. Second, Republicans are not doing a good job explaining the stakes in this election. They must explain, and this is my third point, that the Democratic Party, which has been taken by its radical wing, is leading a revolution. This makes the coming election the most important one since the election of 1860. Let’s begin there.

Unlike most elections, this one is much more than a contest over particular policies—like health care or taxes. Rather, like the election of 1860, this election is a contest between two competing regimes, or ways of life. Two ways of life that cannot exist peacefully together.

One way of life, I’ll call it “the traditional American way of life,” is based on individual rights, the rule of law, and a shared understanding of the common good. This way of life values hard work, self-reliance, volunteerism, patriotism, and so on.

In this way of life there are no hyphenated Americans. We are all just Americans. Colorblindness is our aspiration.

The other way of life I call multiculturalism. Others call it “identity politics” or “cultural Marxism” or “Intersectionality”.

The multicultural movement, which has taken over the Democratic party, is a revolutionary movement. I do not mean a metaphorical revolution. It is not like a revolution; it is a revolution, an attempt to overthrow the American Founding as President Trump said in his excellent Mt. Rushmore speech. Republicans should say the same thing. Republicans everywhere, at every level, and at every opportunity.

Multiculturalism conceives of society, not as a community of individuals with equal rights but as a collection of cultural identity groups—defined by race, ethnicity, gender, and so forth. According to the multiculturalists, all these identity groups are oppressed by white males.

Their goal is to have each identity group proportionally represented in all institutions of American society. As should be immediately clear, achieving this proportional representation requires a never-ending redistribution of wealth and power from some groups—and not just from whites—to other groups. Such a massive redistribution can only be achieved by a tyrannical government and like in all tyrannies, one where dissenters are silenced.

In order to achieve this proportional representation, the Democrats require not just endless affirmative action but genuine socialism, open borders, unrestricted trade, seizing guns, sanctuary cities, and much more.

The Black Lives Matter/Democrats understand (which Republicans seem not to), that if they are to achieve this policy agenda they must get Americans to change their values, their principles, and the way they understand themselves.

They must get us to believe that national borders and colorblindness are racist; that we are not one culture but many; that the most important thing in our history—the thing around which all else pivots—is slavery. More broadly, the multiculturalists must get us to believe that we are unworthy—not just that we have sinned (which of course we have)—but that we are irredeemably sinful, or, in the language of today, “systemically racist.” And sexist, homophobic, Islamophobic and all the other “ists” and phobias. Simply put, multiculturalism must get us to believe we are bad

This suggests one way to frame the coming election: as a contest between a man, Trump, who believes America is good and a man, Biden, who is controlled by a movement that believes America is bad. I do not think it is any more complicated than that.

For the multiculturalist to change traditional values and principles they must destroy, or radically restructure, the institutions that teach those values and principles. The most important of these institutions is family, but also very important is religion, education (which they have mostly destroyed already) and community life, replacing the latter with government bureaucrats. It is here—in these value-teaching institutions—that we see the underpinnings of the Revolution. This is where the real action is. Republicans seem to be missing in action.

Republicans need to explain that BLM and their Democratic enablers wish to destroy the traditional mother-father family. To substantiate this claim, Republicans have only to point to the BLM mission statement. The mission statement, written by avowed Marxists, also lets us know that BLM holds transgenderism to be the burning issue of our time.

Republicans must also explain that religion, because it teaches American values, is also on the chopping block.

Republicans also must make American see that the taking down of statues is not about removing a few confederate generals; it’s about destroying America’s past, as is the New York Times 1619 Project. The rioters, and their BLM-Democrats enablers, are tearing down the statues even of people like Frederick Douglass who fought against slavery. This is not an accident. It is not collateral damage. Frederick Douglass was a great American. He believed that America in her soul was not racist. He believed in hard work and self-reliance. And because of his embrace of American values the BLM-Democrats have to get rid of him.

They must also get rid of Abraham Lincoln, for it is he who best explains what we should aspire to. And it is he who is the best defender of the American Founding. In one sense, this election is a referendum on the Founding. Whether America was founded in 1619, as the BLM-Democrats contend, or, in 1776 as Lincoln, and, until recently, all Americans believed.

Republicans must make more of political correctness and cancel culture, which, as we have seen so vividly of late, brutally punishes apostates.

Who does Twitter think it is, censoring an American president? Republicans simply cannot stand for that.

And Republicans must explain, as I earlier explained, that the multiculturalists are trying to get us to believe that we are systemically racist so that we will surrender to their policy agenda. This too must not be allowed to stand. The American people need to hear what they know in their hearts: they are not racists. Republicans should stand up and say, “no, America is not racist.” Period.

If Americans are systemically anything, it is a systemic commitment to freedom and equal rights for all.

Perhaps most importantly, Republicans must say over and over that America is “incredible,” to use President Trump’s adjective of choice. They must remind the American people that, as a friend of mine is fond of saying, America has brought more freedom and more prosperity to more people than any country in the history of mankind. Most Americans know this, but this too they need to hear from their leaders.

***

In order to make the case that the Democrats are leading a revolution, Republicans must delegitimize Black Lives Matter—the organization, of course, not the sentiment. To BLM and their Democratic enablers, Republicans must say: “Absolutely, black lives matter. They just don’t matter to you. You don’t care about Mr. Floyd, the black businesses you have destroyed, the blacks who are getting killed because you have forced the police to back off. You’re here for destruction. Not black lives, not any lives.”

After delegitimizing Black Lives Matter, the next step for Republicans is to tie BLM’s revolutionary agenda around the necks of Democrats.

The BLM wing of the Democratic party has captured the entire party. Run-of-the-mill Democrats may not agree with all of the BLM agenda but they go-along, so they might as well agree. Joe Biden is one of the go-along Democrats.

So do not expect all Democrats to sing the BLM tune; even so, most will kneel before them.

Listen to Biden. On one occasion Biden said, “Let’s be clear, transgender equality is the civil rights issue of our time.” A year ago, Biden may not have even known what transgenderism is. He does not seem to know it, but he has been radicalized.

Biden now regularly talks about “systemic” racism. On one occasion Biden said, though without evidence, there is “absolutely systemic racism in law enforcement.” “[But] it’s not just in law enforcement,” he continued, “it’s across the board. It’s in housing, it’s in education . . . It’s in everything we do.”

He is wrong on every count, but if indeed he believes that racism is in “everything we do,” that it is systemic, then he believes, whether he admits or not, that the system must be overturned. Biden does not realize it, but he is calling for the overthrow of the American way of life. I presume that is not his intent, but when the words he is reading off his BLM teleprompter get translated into policy, that will be the consequence — the destruction of the American way of life.

Biden demurs. There is nothing to fear from Biden says Biden: “Do I look like a radical socialist with a soft spot for rioters?” No, he does not, but what he does look like is a sap.

Republicans must make it clear that these are the “Biden riots.”

***

This brings me to my last point: Trump. I know President Trump has many faults. I myself sometimes cringe listening to him. Sometimes he is his own worst enemy. He is a braggart, often misinformed, petty, sometimes even vengeful. And more.

And yet, we are very lucky to have him. I am almost prepared to say that having him is Providential. How else to explain that we find ourselves with this most unusual, most unpresidential man who has just the attributes most needed for this moment. At any other time, he might well have been a bad president. But in these times—these revolutionary times—he is the best president we could have had.

He has the indispensable attribute of a leader: courage. As a leader must, he goes where others are afraid to go. And he has common sense, which means he generally wants to go to the right place.

Above all else, and above anyone else, Trump is committed to America. He is unreservedly, unquestionably pro-America. He feels no guilt for America’s past. He makes no apologies. He concedes nothing. These may not always be the attributes one wants in a President, but in this day of woke guilt they are the most essential things. And Trump has unlimited confidence in America. In this time of national doubt, this too is just what the doctor ordered. He thinks our culture is “incredible” and that’s the way he wants to keep it.

Trump not only thinks America is incredible, he knows we are in a fight for our lives.

And despite what one hears ad nauseum from the Democrats, Trump is perhaps among the least racist presidents we have ever had. Trump is not defending the white way of life; he is defending the American way of life, a colorblind way of life which is open to anyone who is willing to embrace it.

If we want to save our country, then we should support him—unequivocally. I am. I think this election is that important, and I think Trump is that good. I hope you agree.

Remember, Trump versus Biden is the choice between a man who believes America is good and a man who is controlled by a movement which believes America is bad.

Thank you very much.

  1. This great message comes at important time and encourages us to stand up and be counted as patriots in today’s revolution to preserve the great freedoms that we have inherited through the dedication of many others, especially our Founding Fathers. THANK YOU, THOMAS D. KLINGENSTEIN—stan & virginia ruland

    • Put what I believe into words even better than I can think them.

  2. Amazingly calm, rational, and brilliant. You should be campaigning on the trail for Trump now, as he is battling Covid!

  3. Thank you Mr. Klingenstein for pointing out the stakes of the 2020 election with nonparallel precision.

  4. I forwarded this to many who are always looking at how Pres Trump acts and not what the issues we are facing. The Republican Party needs to be more agresiva in communicating as clear as Mr Klingenstein has but should not be shy about describing the philosopher of the BLM agenda.

  5. Thank you so much for this piece, you have hit all the nails on it’s head! No drama but just how the current situation is! how I pray, people will see it, too.

  6. Carlos Osuna
    This is the message that not only Republicans should be clear about, but all Americans

  7. Mr. Klingenstein, this is a great message. Have you shared it with the Trump team and other Republican leaders in order to get this message out? Regarding President Trump being a braggart, he must talk about his accomplishments because of the constant negativity against him so Americans will realize what he is doing for us. Before his presidency, Republicans were lame and dormant. They said that they were trying to be positive and take the high road while Democrats constantly won the word battles. Republicans didn’t know how to fight until President Trump showed them how to take the battle to the Democrats. These days, most Americans don’t know how to stand up to the Democrats. These Democrats today are vicious. They, along with wannabe celebrities-polititians have called for the murder of the president and violence across America. Remember how Representative Scalise was shot by a lone Democrat gunman and then it was just blown off as though the gunman was a mentally ill extremist. PpThis is why President Trump has to brag about his accomplishments. Businesses brag about themselves and their products all of the time. Remember, President Trump is a businessman and not a politician who has given up his presidential salary because he loves America and the American way of life and he is constantly trying to encourage Americans to do the same and remind Americans who they are and what they have and what they stand to lose. Many Christians and others have been silent and sitting on the fence for too long while our rights are being removed by the Left and RINOS. Before President Trump, Korea, China, Russia and Middle-Eastern nations were getting away with threats against us and killing our people. President Trump has changed that. President Trump’s bragging is not just about himself, but reminding Americans about who we are and what we have and what we have to lose. If we continue on his path and do a little bragging ourselves, we can make America Great Again. Thank you. William Clouse

    • DemonCrats have always been vicious. They just aren’t hiding it as much now. Republicans are terrible at framing and explaining their positions. Their excuse for not doing so is they claim the people are smart enough to figure out issues on their own! I’ve heard that for 40 years at every Committe meeting, campaign event I’ve ever attended. Guess what? They are wrong most people don’t know the issues and why they are or aren’t important. As far as the schools, yes they are and have been taken over by Socialists for decades, goal was to dumb down and indoctrinate from K-College, has been a very successful operation. The DemonCrats are seeing fruits of their efforts. DemonCrats aren’t born they are created! I will leave with this, as I’ve got to get busy. The DemonCrats started making incredible gains toward their desire to bring Socialism to USA. When they created, introduced P.C.. P.C. had 2 goals first control speech. Once you can control a persons speech,soon you control their thought process. The American people largely bought into P.C. The people muted themselves! That happened so quickly and so completely I think most DemonCrats were surprised how easy it was to control the people. They have and will not stop, since the people have shown they are easy targets.

  9. Well stated , spot on article Mr Klingenstei . Democrats are indeed the “Second coming of Bolshevism”.

  10. A BRILLIANT COMENTARY ON THE STATE OF POLITICS IN THIS COUNTRY. I HAVE NOT HEARD ANYONE
    DESCRIBE IT AS WELL AS TOM KLINGENSTEIN .

  11. As of this time in our lives I have not heard anyone describe the state of politics in this country as
    well as tom Klingenstein. G-D Bless you Tom

  12. This is the most rational speech to date. I don’t understand why the Republicans don’t have the courage to stand up for our country and denounce the Democrats. This speech should be a campaign ad.

    • My 401k is doing fine. I’ll take that over socialism any day.

    • I, for one, recognize a “street fighter” when I see one. Though DJT could have been elite, he chose to win the hard way.

  13. One of the best reports I’ve heard. And I do know these Dems. today are not the Dems of Harry Truman. I will certainly vote for Pres. Trump as I did four years ago. And I, also, know, the churches compared to when I was growing up, are almost empty.

  14. So, we have a choice between a socialist dictatorship or a corporate dictatorship. A country of extremes, and the middle class will dwindle away to nothing regardless of who is president.

      • Paul, I sent it to 20+ friends and relatves. Everyone do it.
        I’m simply referring to his name. Personally, I think we have a strong middle class.

    • Apio, I don’t agree. Can’t state it any clearer than that.

  15. Your reasoning is clear and brilliant and should be required reading in our colleges and universities and repeated and commented on in our nations media before too many voters erroneously vote for Biden/Harris.
    President Trumps election advisors should send you to Trumps rallies as a principal speaker with your all important message.

    • Paul, I sent it to 20+ friends and relatves. Everyone do it.

  16. So rational, so well spoken. I wish this could be in every print publication in America. I intend to share this far and wide … and wherever I can. Thank you for putting these thoughts into print and sharing them. I am forever grateful for my friend who shared it with me.!!

  17. Important! I will send to friends & family….will they read ?

  18. Brilliant, rational, dispassionate presentation of the revolutionary times in which we are living and the critical importance of the current presidential election to the continued existence of our status as a free, democratic republic. Do not miss this!

  19. Your commentary is spot on. Most Americans don’t know what this election is about. If Biden is elected our former way of American life is over. Big Government will take away our given
    Rights preserved in our Constitution . Republicans have to be more outspoken, revealing their real agenda. Vote in person if you can and pray for the Electoral college to save our country and preserve 3 branches of government

  20. After lunch today with a friend who has already voted for Biden, I was searching for words to express why I support Trump. This article expresses my arguments EXACTLY. I asked my friend to please write down the reasons for supporting the Democratic agenda, and I would write down my reasons for supporting Trump.
    Then I came home to find this email in my inbox and after reading it, voila! Just wish it hadn’t come so late.

  21. Nope
    This is the most incredibly wrong message yet regarding the election.
    It is really about one being so severely dishonest he is incapable of leading our country. The other i may not agree with always but he is still able to lead.

  22. Thank you for the clear, thoughtful and insightful presentation !! This should be shared with everyone…..let God help America before some push us into total insanity.

  23. Mr. Klingenstein, thank you for this brilliant commentary. How can we help get your message out across our nation. From this moment on Klingenstein should become a household name!

  24. Senator Nancy’s push to amend the 25th amendment is just one more goose step, and more about taking Biden out due to mental illness rather than Trump… a not so un-obvious power play in my opinion.

    We are witnessing a radical rethink of socialism, even though with the knowledge of proven history how’s its ALWAYS failed for the majority under its rule. The democrat party controllers have the attitude “we can do it right this time”… but have to destroy everything America stands for.

    It’s like a slow simmer since Roosevelt but now set on full boil.

    The left has gone so far left they will soon be left out! While the democratic leadership prey on the populous I will pray for the future of our country!

    You are spot on with the speech/video sir; not unlike founding statesman of this experiment called America;

    You are awesome!
    jp

  25. This speech was just shared by Rush Limbaugh at the end of his October 13th show. FYI

    • Thanks. I couldn’t remember whether it was Rush or Levin who mentioned it.

  26. I feel like I have just had a huge weight lifted off of me! Living in liberal Oregon, it is easy to think that you are alone in your belief system, and you have to be careful what you say – but this is TRUTH, and it is such a wonderful thing to hear!
    It is not likely that my state will go for Trump, it has been pretty locked up for Dems most of my adult life.
    Sadly, most people don’t remember any other way… but I do know that most of my family and a lot of my friends will be voting for Trump anyway!

    Thank you for speaking TRUTH!

  27. We CAN eradicate this scourge that has infected our American heritage. A nation divided against itself cannot stand. If we stand united, especially in the midst of adversity, the divisive forces will turn on each other. Mr. Klingenstein brilliantly outlines the problem. He also outlines the solution. We must support the man who is the spearhead of this nations saving movement. God bless you Mr. President, and KNOW we love and fully support you. Thank you.
    AJH

  28. I say Bravo to… what so many Americans want to say, but cannot. I personally am sending this to as many as possible before it is censored. God Bless you !

  29. Very powerful, succinct and just at the right time. Tom Klingenstein has put this election and the two men running for President in the right perspective for all of us.

  30. That was an absolutely wonderful speech. God bless you and I so agree that the Republicans and or conservatives are going to be the ones that would cause Trump to loose the election. Much tooo concerned about political correctness. It’ killing our country. Thank you sir for your wise words

  31. BRILLIANT AND PROFOUND PRESENTATION…..I AGREE WE NEED TRUMP AT THIS TIME.

  32. Thank you for your brilliant message. I would urge everyone who concurs to share Mr. Klingenstein’s message on their Facebook page and/or their Twitter account. Americans who care about this country NEED to hear this message and to share it. It is the most compelling argument to date for the re-election of President Trump. By sharing it, you just might move the needle with those individuals who are on the fence. RE-ELECT PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP, or face the prospect of seeing this wonderful idea of a country fall like so many others have in the past.

  33. All I can say is Awesome. 100% correct on all counts.

    GOD bless Americans and GOD help America.

  34. The words of Mr. Klingenstein remind me of the words of Thomas Paine, in Common Sense. Then, Paine was making an impassioned call for America to free itself from British rule and set up an independent republican government. Today, we are facing the fruit of our labor. While the “Baby-Boomers” focused on providing a better life for their families, they took their eyes off the ball, and let the “Enemies of the American Way of Life” take over the education system and the press. Our education system has been programing our children, while the press has been promoting their agenda (progressive socialism) instead or reporting the news. I regretfully admit to being one of the “Baby-Boomers” that created this mess.

  35. When the dust settles and America has voted, where will we be? 1/2 the nation will not like where they are.
    Biden will fold like a cheap suit to his handlers. Trump will finish his appointed job.. taking care of the American dream for everyone who wants to play by the same rules and respect one another. The media will melt down if Trump wins but lather the skids if Biden wins. This is the fork in the road Yogi Berra warned about.

  36. It is refreshing to read words of TRUTH; a rare commodity in this day and times! I thank you for having the courage to speak your mind and tell it like it is. If we don’t stand up for what we believe now there will be nothing left to stand for! All patriots that came before us and fought the fight for the freedoms we have are to be remembered and thank God for them. Don’t let their accomplishments be in vain.

  37. Trump will forever be known as the Unapologetic President who saved the US when the country needed one who could actually do it.

  38. A most excellent ‘read’ say I from far away ‘Down Under ‘!

    This is a brilliant executive summary of why every American should indeed vote Republican at your coming election on 3rd Nov 2020 & a wake up call for every Australian to take note of that same socialist ‘disease’ that is progressively ‘infecting’ our society Down Under.

    I shall be sharing it widely among as many Aussies as possible together with a recommendation that they do likewise!

  39. I wish that this excellent dissertation could be required forced reading of every American voter. The situation could not be better explained. Thank you for your words,

  40. A friend I have has always been there to give me Good counsel when I become muddled of discouraged.
    She is a patriot. She sent this to me ….and I was uplifted.
    Thankyou fellow – patriot

  41. One thing Americans (black, white, brown, yellow, etc) USTED to be a raciest nation, division of schools, restaurants, and so on, this unchristian way of life WAS wrong. In Heaven we are all God’s children, this should be our way of life on this earth. We have a way to go, however WE ARE NO LONGER A RACIEST NATION! We are blessed because we have always been Israel’s friend, Genesis 12:3
    What everyone should embrace is the American way of life, hard work and self-reliance, with the help of our one God our Almighty Creator.

  42. This is the best description of America that I have ever heard and why it is so important to defend her at this dangerous time. I hope this message gets into the hands of every American who cares about the future of our country. Thank you!

  43. Sorry but I do not buy in. I have voted Republican in my life and I have voted Democratic. To me, the greatest President in my lifetime (I was too young to vote) was Dwight David Eisenhower, a man so respected that BOTH Parties sought him as their Candidate. On the Military-Industrial Complex which you seem to advocate he said this: “We must not fail to comprehend its grave implications. Our toil, resources and livelihood are all involved; so is the very structure of our society. In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military–industrial complex.” He signed the Civil Rights Act of 1957 and sent Army troops to enforce federal court orders which integrated schools in Little Rock, Arkansas. His largest program was the Interstate Highway System. He promoted the establishment of strong science education via the National Defense Education Act, this same Science who President Trump says are wrong when it comes to a virus which has left 210,000 Americans dead. The same President who is now advocating for “Herd Immunity”, something that SCIENTIFICALLY requires that 70% of the population be infected. Someone who says you need not fear COVID-19 while he has availed himself of treatments not approved and not available to the General Public. Someone who has consistently touted information not from Scientists or Epidemiologists but from Conspiracy Theorists. Someone who now listens to a Nuclear Medicine Radiologist, on with absolutely no background or expertise in Epidemiology and Infectious Diseases.

    The fact is Trump was wrong in 2016 and is more wrong now. He has convinced the Right that he is an America First Businessman when he is an America Only, Trump Only Pitchman. He is no more a Christian (though he plays one on TV) than was P T Barnum, who famously stated that “there’s a sucker born every minute”. He holds the Bible upside down as a prop and cannot quote one passage, not even to quote “Corinthians 2”, as he called it. His wife is bothered by having to deal with “Fu**ing Christmas”. He has only the knowledge to enrich himself and his family, considering emoluments to be a non-issue, thinking he has put something over on us by not taking a salary while millions upon millions of tax dollars have gone to his golf courses and hotels, not to mention his family in a nepotism-based WH far exceeding JFK having his brother as Attorney General.

    I could defend Joe Biden but it wouldn’t matter here anyway. The fact is Joe is a moral Christian man who attends Church regularly, whose wife teaches Bible Study, and who is NOT beholden to the radical left, no matter how many times one cries it. It is interesting that, despite a Republican Administration/Judicial Department AND, from 2016-18, a Republican majority in BOTH Houses of Congress, no investigation has ever concluded in wrongdoing by Biden or the President he served under. The fact is, sorry but facts are nasty things, that the Trump Campaign was only surveilled while interacting with agents of Foreign Governments who themselves were the subject of the surveillance.

    I could go on but most of readers have discarded me as a “Libtard” anyway, in spite of my admiration for Eisenhower, in spite of me voting for Ford, Bush 41 and 43. Thank you for your time and attention. I’m sure all you will agree that, in this election, ALL of the LEGALLY ELIGIBLE VOTERS should vote and have their votes counted

    • I not only do I consider you a “libtard”, but a closet communist. Eisenhower was a good president, but would fight you tooth and nail about the crap that is dividing the nation now. There is no agenda to help black Americans in the BLM movement, but a systematic move to fundamentally change America into a communist nation as Obama believes it should be. You want communism’s perks, go live in a communist country and starve and drink sewer water for a while and if you survive you will learn to appreciate America with all her many, according to your ilk, faults.

    • Boy ! … What kind of drugs are YOU taking ?? You are obviously suffering from ” Terminal Rectal Crainial Inversion ” ( head permanently stuck up your ass ) and I doubt the surgical cure ( a glassectomy … a surgically implanted glass navel, so you could see) wouldn’t help you. If nothing less, your parents didn’t properly house break or paper train you when you were born. While DJT can be brash and offensive, and anger people, he’s kept every promise he’s made. He’s stopped the foreign nations from taking advantage of our kindness and our greatness. He’s stopped or slowed the aggressive nations from their dastardly deeds. But Dementia Joe is THE BIGGEST CROOK since the Klinton Crime Family / Syndicate. He’s had 47 years to make ANY positive changes happen through government, but he’s done absolutely squat ! Nada ! Zilch ! NOTHING ! except to engratiate and self enrich himself ( can you say INCOME TAX EVASION ? ) by having his relatives pay him half of their incomes, which he used his political position to acquire those jobs for his relatives ! No, No, No, No mister ” Cook – gan “, your obviously taking the ” Blue Pill “, ” sucking tail pipe exhaust fumes “, ” Hallucinating “, or just maybe, you’re one of those poor ignorant dumb children whose been living in your parents basement and going to school to be indoctrinated by those Marxists, Socialists, Communists, Far Left Liberal Communist Chinese supported professors(?) or teachers(?) whose been preaching Anti American Racist Hatred that has become so pervasive in our colleges and universities, and actually cheating all those students out of real educations. I’ll bet you also refused to serve your country, either in the military, or one of the other fine organizations, such as the Peace Corp, that helps to promote America’s greatness and giving to other nations, or even helping to free oppressed nations. This nation and its Veteran’s have assured that you have had the right to speak your feelings, but WE WON’T ALLOW YOU TO DESTROY THIS GREAT NATION !! Cause if you do that, you’ll regret every moment you spent trying to do so. If you love Socialism, Marxism, Communism, … then you NEED TO LEAVE !! Ask yourself, WHY do so many people want to become citizens of America ? …. it’s certainly NOT to live in a Socialist, Marxist, Communist, or Oppressive nation, like the one they have recently left.
      Dementia Joe is nowhere even remotely close to being a religious and moral person. He’s a STRAIGHT UP CROOK !!! Just like the Klinton’s. He’s made himself wealthy off the backs of American’s.
      I hope one day soon you’ll wake up and smell the B.S. you speak.

  44. I truly am grateful for your insight to what is going on in our great country that has recently divided so many Americans and to even family members. You have struck a cord that needs to be heard by all Americans before this election as I also agree it is of upmost important that if we are to save America then you must Vote Trump. So well sated and it gives me hope that America will stand up for our Freedoms and the world is watching. Our country has been a safe haven for mankind for a very long time and this revolution wants to destroy it. Please I pray that all Americans will do the right thing even if they don’t like the harshness of Trump but he is a leader that we must have to defeat this ideology revolution that will change America and its value of freedom, liberty and justice for all. God Bless!!!

  46. Excellent presentation by Mr. Klingenstein. Has anyone seen or heard of a similar presentation (calm, rational, and brilliant) about the Democratic Progressive movement. Maybe I am suggesting an oxymoron here but surely there must be someone who can convincingly present the Democratic Progressive point of view.

    I am an immigrant to America after having escaped Communist East Germany in 1960. I have lectured many times about my escape and a comparison between the way of life under Communism and in America. Generally the difference was stark. It no longer is stark. I will be speaking on Nov 1st to a group of youth (12-18 years). In case you want to hear my story check it out at: http://www.ouramericannetwork.com (The Berlin Wall Went Up Because Of Him – http://www.ouramericannetwork.org/story?title=The-Berlin-Wall-Went-Up-Because-Of-Him).

  47. AMAZING, BRILLIANT AND PROFOUND PRESENTATION…..I AGREE WE NEED TRUMP AT THIS TIME.

  48. This message should be read by all Americans; but there are two groups who especially should take heed: (1) the rank and file democrat party members, and (2) the republican party leadership. The former because they have ceded control of their party to socialist tyrants whose primary objective is the attainment and/or retention of power. The latter because they don’t understand the fervent support rank and file republicans have for President Trump’s willingness to fight and defeat the true enemy of this country–the current democrat party leadership.

  49. Well said. I so agree. I pray for our President everyday.
    In response to S. Kogan that did not agree with the case Trump v. Movement. I have only one think to say to him. “So blind are those who will not see”
    Sincerely,
    Kathryn

  50. I have been a Republican all my life. I look back and wonder when the cowardice of the Republican Party started. Maybe
    it started with the accusations of racism, which were being slung as early as GWB’s presidency, but which grew loud and insistent during the Obama years. And why not? The strategy worked. Cries of racism silenced Republicans, as the respectable party flinched. So the Republic has been left undefended. In despertion, we, the common people, have turned to Donald Trump – loud, aggressive, and sometimes uncouth. Trump has shouldered much of the criticism levelled at us, while marshalling an impressive defense of this country and her people. But where are the rest of the Republicans??? Our Congressional Representatives remain quiet and subdued, as do our Republican Senators. They hope to avoid the crushing criticism focused on our President. There are only a few fighting exceptions. So much cowardice at a time we need our elected representatives to stand firm for the Republic. It seems we are the ones who will have to put some astarch in those sagging backbones – because they are not going to do it themselves. The Republicans are, for rhe most part, cowards. And I am so ashamed of them.

    • J.S. You are so RIGHT !!! Every time the Republicans got called out and accused of being Racists, they ran and cowered in their little bunny caves and trembled. I doubt there’s a solid backbone in any of them except maybe four or five. But for the most part, the Republicans are COWARDS !!!!
      The Republicans are an Embarrassement !!!! I’ve seen more guts in the Girl Scouts, then I’ve seen with the Republicans !!!!
      They let the Commie-Crats run rampant. The Commie-Crats are nothing less than BULLIES !!!! The interesting thing here is, EVERY SINGLE ONE of them took an Oath of Office, to Support and Defend our Great Constitution, from ALL Enemies, Foreign AND Domestic. What I now see today, is one party has become that ” Domestic Enemy ” they took an Oath to Defend from. Its past time the Republicans put on their ” Big Boy Pants ” and find the courage to stand up to these Domestic Enemies. STOP running and hiding every time a Commie-Crat calls them Racist !! The REAL Racists here are the Commie-Crats !!! Stand up and fight back !!!!!

  51. I pray this will be more contagious than COVID-19 and hopefully the wisdom will cure those lacking true understanding of what is at stake – pray for Trump and America.
