News Analysis🔎The post-#Election push to pressure President…

This campaign started in 2016 when the #FBI launched a politically motivated investigation of his campaign. During his subsequent 4 years in office, there have been consistent efforts to remove him from office.

#Infographic: an overview of some of the main efforts made against the sitting @POTUS.

This is an issue that transcends party lines, as it is not only an assault on Trump, but an assault on the office of the presidency, and with it, an assault on the foundation of America.

Politically Motivated Investigation:
The #FBI under President #Obama in 2016 launched a politically motivated investigation of the #TrumpCampaign.

Based on publicly available information, we know the investigation was initiated based on the thinnest of evidence: remarks made…

…by a junior #TrumpCampaign adviser to the Australian ambassador in London.

The investigation primarily relied on the discredited #SteeleDossier, produced by former MI6 agent Christopher Steele on behalf of the #Clinton campaign and the @DNC.

The Trump–Russia Shadow:
While the #FBI’s #CrossfireHurricane investigation would not find any evidence of Trump–Russia #Collusion, the investigations, including selective #Leaks to the media, would create the public narrative that Trump had colluded to win the 2016 election.

This cast a shadow over the first few years of his presidency and constrained his actions both domestically and internationally. Some members of Congress had gone so far as to call for Trump’s #Impeachment over the false allegations.

FBI Under Comey and McCabe:
The #FBI under #Comey and #AndrewMcCabe proactively worked against Trump. #McCabe was directly involved in the #CrossfireHurricane investigation. After @Comey was fired by Trump, McCabe actively pushed the agency to further investigate Trump.

#McCabe’s #FBI went as far as suggesting #DOJ official #BruceOhr reach back out to Steele, despite that many of the claims in the #SteeleDossier had been disproven by that time and the FBI had cut ties with him over his #Leaks to the media.

Media:
Perhaps one of the most powerful forces working against Trump has been the news media. Over the past 5 years, they have relentlessly published skewed and inaccurate information about him while minimizing or ignoring his accomplishments.

This type of reporting has created a climate of anger, hate, and instability in America. It has resulted in threats made to the president’s life and acts of violence against #TrumpSupporters.

Impeachment
On Dec. 18, 2019, Trump was impeached along partisan lines. Though the Senate would later dismiss the charge, it left a mark on his presidency and dragged the country through months of public attacks in the media.

At the center of the #Impeachment was a phone call Trump made to #Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky, during which Trump expressed his hope that allegations of potential #Corruption involving Joe Biden would be investigated.

It was publicly known that #HunterBiden received money from Ukrainian energy giant #Burisma, while then-VP Biden—in his own words—pressured the Ukrainian president to fire a prosecutor as a prerequisite for receiving $1 billion in foreign aid. https://t.co/UHnf4VL3sP

CCP Virus:
Trump’s opponents have accused the president of mishandling the #CCPVirus by acting too late.

This is contrary to the events of early 2020. The #TrumpAdministration on Feb. 2, 2020, banned all foreign travel from #China, the source of the global #Pandemic.

This decision was made by the president against the advice of some of his top advisers and exceeded actions taken by most other nations at the time.

Meanwhile, his opponents in politics and media, including Joe Biden, described it as xenophobic and an overreaction.

Foreign Interference:
Trump is #CommunistChina’s biggest adversary. He broke a decades-long US policy toward #China that was based on the belief that, through engagement and economic development, the #CCP would evolve from a totalitarian regime toward a more democratic country.

This strategy of appeasement resulted in trillions of dollars and hundreds of thousands of US #Jobs lost to #China. Instead of becoming more democratic, the #CCP used this wealth to advance its dictatorship, creating the most technologically advanced tyranny in the world.

The #CCP has consistently worked against Trump, both publicly and behind the scenes. #Beijing has used its domestic and overseas #Propaganda channels—often by relying on the US’ own media—to vilify Trump.

Black Lives Matter:
#BlackLivesMatter has been behind the #Riots that have plagued US cities for much of this year. The group has hijacked the concerns people have over #Racism and used them to justify its advance of a #Marxist agenda.

In a 2015 video, #BLM co-founder #PatrisseCullors described herself and her fellow founders as “trained Marxists.”

Just like in #Russia, #China, #Cuba, and #Venezuela, trained #Marxists have hijacked righteous causes to advance the #Communist agenda.

Antifa:
Dressed in full black gear and trained in agitation and basic combat, #Antifa extremists have been involved in numerous acts of #Violence during Trump’s presidency.

Antifa members have targeted both #LawEnforcement and unarmed #TrumpSupporters.

#TrumpSupporters have been attacked when alone in the #WashingtonDC at night. #Antifa’s use of a militia-style force to intimidate and physically attack citizens for their political beliefs creates a powerful climate of fear and stands against the most basic American values.

The Permanent Government:
It’s no secret that many career officials in the US government actively sought to undermine or even openly work against Trump. Many in government have been led by false information published by media organizations to believe that…

… they are doing the right thing, and that by working against Trump, they are putting the interests of the country first.

In fact, they have done the United States a disservice by blocking a rightfully elected president from executing the will of the people.

Mueller Special Counsel Investigation:
Following the firing of #FBI Director #Comey, Deputy AG #RodRosenstein assigned #RobertMueller to continue the #RussianCollusion investigation.

#Mueller would conclude in a final report that there was no evidence of such collusion.

This conclusion only came after a nearly 2-year-long investigation, giving the media and Trump’s political opponents leeway to portray Trump as an illegitimate president because of his supposed affiliation with #Russia.

Illegal Leaks:
Throughout the past 4 years, the #TrumpAdministration has been plagued by selective #Leaks aimed at damaging Trump’s presidency.

Some have been criminal in nature, such as the leak of the transcripts of Trump’s conversations with foreign leaders—a felony offense.

.@USTreasury official Natalie Edwards was found guilty of illegally #Leaking suspicious activity reports (SARs) on financial transactions by former #TrumpCampaign associate #PaulManafort, among others.

2020 Election Fraud:
Dozens of credible allegations of #VoterFraud or other illegal acts connected to the counting of #Ballots have emerged.

Dozens of poll workers across multiple states have given testimony in sworn statements detailing #Irregularities…

…in how #Ballots were counted, as well as how the workers were instructed to make otherwise illegal changes to ballots, how they were unable to properly observe ballot counting, and how they witnessed new ballots mysteriously appear out of nowhere.

The #TrumpCampaign and the #RNC launched a number of lawsuits to challenge the process.

They’ve argued that in #Pennsylvania alone, 600,000 #Ballots should be invalidated, as GOP #Election observers weren’t allowed to witness the ballot processing.

Manufactured Narratives:
The use of manufactured #Narratives to attack Trump has been pervasive since he assumed the presidency. Perhaps the most notable is the claim that he defended neo-Nazis in #Charlottesville.

Trump specifically said, “I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists, because they should be condemned totally—but you had many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and white nationalists.”

Despite this being on public record, Trump would continue to be asked throughout his presidency, especially during the #Election season, whether he was ready to “denounce white supremacy,” despite having done so on many occasions, even before becoming president.
