WorldNetDaily may have freaked out over Donald Trump’s (second) indictment, but columnist Wayne Allyn Root is in a category all his own when it comes to Trump sycophancy, and he responded pretty much as you’d expect. He ranted in his June 9 column:
Are you getting the subtle impression that Democrats don’t want former President Donald Trump to win in 2024; that they’re scared to death of Trump; that they’re so desperate to stop him from winning again, they want him to rot in a prison cell for life?
Congratulations. You’re not a complete moron.
The feds just indicted Trump on fake, lame, trumped-up charges. But didn’t Democrats just try this trick in New York? It didn’t work then. It won’t work now. And it won’t work next week when Trump appears in court in Miami. And it won’t work next month when a Georgia grand jury indicts Trump. This is Groundhog Day.
[…]So, why is this insanity happening?
First, Trump Derangement Syndrome. Democrats are clearly mentally ill. Their irrational hatred of Trump has driven them to emulate the worst tyrants in world history, willing to do anything to destroy their opposition. Democrats are so mentally ill with TDS, they need a straitjacket, rubber room and a kiss from mommy.
Second, “I told you so.” I’ve argued for two and a half years now that we are experiencing a communist takeover of America. This isn’t “socialism.” This is pure communism thug tactics. Josef Stalin, Mao Zedong, Pol Pot, Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez would be proud of this Biden regime.
The hallmarks of communism are rigged elections; bans on free speech; silencing all dissent; censorship; propaganda; the weaponization of government; forced experimental vaccinations; police state raids on your critics; and arresting your political opponents. Look around. We are there.
Third, this is the Saul Alinsky playbook. Alinsky taught his communist disciples (which included Obama and Hillary), “the ends justify the means.” He also taught his students to “look in the mirror; whatever you see in that mirror, blame the other guy.” This indictment of Trump is classic Alinsky. Democrats look in the mirror and they see radical communist criminals, thugs and traitors. So, they indict Trump to cover-up their own crimes.
Classified documents in a former president’s home? Really? Versus President Joe Biden’s $10 million Burisma bribe in Ukraine? That’s like putting Trump in prison for 20 years for jaywalking while letting Democrats skate for crimes against humanity.
Fourth, this is Democrats using WMDs (“weapons of mass distraction”). The skeletons of Biden are pouring out of the closet as we speak. Biden is a world-class criminal and conman. The extortion of countries like Ukraine and China by the Biden crime family makes the Gambino crime family look like amateur pickpockets.
Root then effectively declared war and went well beyond going Godwin:
Lastly, God is great. God always wins. This is God’s plan. The Democrats in power and the people who run our government are evil. Demonic. Satanic. This isn’t normal. The things they’re doing are Nazi Gestapo-like, Soviet KGB-like, East German Stasi-like. God has done us a favor: He’s revealed what Democrats are really like.
This is war. This is life or death. This is the end of America if we don’t fight fire with fire.
But Democrats have picked a fight with the wrong crowd. America beat Hitler. America defeated the Soviet Empire. You think we’re going to let a brain-dead old man with dementia and diapers trample our rights and freedoms? You’re going down.
Root continued the ranting in his June 16 column, hyping how Trump’s polling is up since the indictment and insisting that “he faces life in prison for an offense that no one understands, no one cares about, and everyone knows is a bunch of bogus BS and legal mumbo-jumbo.” He then rattled off reasons why “the average American voter will never care” about Trump’s indictment and why it purportedly “doesn’t pass the smell test”:
First, it doesn’t affect any of us. Trump didn’t hurt one American by “mishandling” a bunch of papers. How does that hurt me? How does that affect my life? It doesn’t.
Second, I believe Trump himself didn’t benefit, didn’t sell the papers and didn’t show them to foreign enemies. They were left in boxes in his basement, and bathroom shower (according to the fake news media). So, who cares?
Third, everyone does it. Former President Barack Obama allegedly has millions of pages of classified documents in his Obama Presidential Library that he never returned. We’ve all seen the classified docs on the floor of President Joe Biden’s garage. Even Mike Pence had classified docs. I’ll bet every single U.S. senator does too. This is a ridiculous waste of time.
Root is simply parroting Trump regarding Obama’s classified documents. In fact, unlike Trump, Obama worked with the National Archives to move those documents to Chicago, and Obama’s foundation is paying the National Archives to digitize the documents. Root’s list of reasons continued as attacks on Democrats:
Fourth, everyone can see the new Democrat motto is, “If you can’t beat ’em, jail ’em.” This is about one thing: stopping Trump from running for president, because Democrats are scared to death he will beat them – even with rigged elections.
Fifth, I believe Biden has committed TREASON. He sold out the American people. He sold us all down the river. He extorted tens of millions (maybe hundreds of millions) of dollars in bribes from foreign countries and companies as vice president. Compared to that, who cares about a bunch of papers in a box at Trump’s home? No one. Indicting Trump is a “weapon of mass distraction” to hide Biden’s serious crimes from the headlines.
Root concluded:
All of these ridiculous, bogus, hyped-up-by-the-media indictments will push more and more average working Joes and Janes into Trump’s camp. You’re making Trump a martyr.
Because common sense tells them if this man Trump is so hated by the whole government; the whole D.C. swamp; the whole deep state; the whole legal system; the whole DOJ and FBI; the whole mainstream media; the whole Ivy League elite … if he’s such a threat to these control-freak tyrants and fascists who want to kill free speech and rule our lives …
If these creeps and criminals and scumbags are desperate enough to turn jaywalking into a serious crime … and try to put Trump in prison for life …
Then Trump must be doing something right. He must really have the goods on these creeps. He must be the guy wearing the white hat. He must be on our side. He must be our hero.
Root appears to have a strangely warped sense of heroism.
