Deep State Pushing Trump VP Choices as Secret Service Ramps Up Security Detail


A couple of quick hot points from the 2024 presidential race and Trump side of the equation.

♦ First, we can ignore all of the typical pre-debate banter about who is doing what in the lead-up to the Trump v Biden debate.  Every cycle the debate narratives are pushed for clicks and attention; almost all of it is manufactured nonsense and false.

Actual, professional, presidential debate teams do not leak information about their debate prep activity to the media. The only information released is from campaign players who want the other side to see, hear and waste time preparing for imaginary nonsense.  All of the pre-debate stuff, banter, punditry and column inches are one big mind game of misinformation.  Ignore all of it.

♦ Second, the DC system that created Mike Pence as the best option for Trump 2016 is the same system pushing Vance, Rubio and Burgum for 2024.  [Example HERE] The intent with Pence 2016 is the same intent with Vance, Rubio and Burgum ’24.  I’m cautiously optimistic President Trump is well aware of this.

Seriously, how many times have you heard me repeat the warning: NEVER TRUST A NEVER-TRUMPER.  Yet, time and time again people get wooed back, deny their instincts, dismiss the intellectual reality and drop their guard.  Every single time the Trump supporters get burned.

This is not complicated folks.  The Never-Trumpers do not change position, have an awakening, trip over some “come to Jesus” moment, engage in self-reflection, or otherwise evolve to stop thinking that Donald Trump is the end of their world.   Never-Trumpers espoused that opinion, because Never-Trumpers saw value in holding that opinion.  It is simple and should be accepted.

Those who claimed Trump was/is horrible, terrible, egotistical, evil and all the other adjectives to describe their sentiments, do not suddenly have a change in perspective.   What changes them are changes in the instructions they are given.   They begin praising Trump because there is new value in stating that opinion.   NEVER, EVER Trust a never-Trumper.  The stakes are too high.

♦ Third, apparently the secret service is increasing the security detail around President Trump.

Kelly O’Donnell: “Secret Service is ready to add new protectee detail for Trump running mate. USSS is also increasing size of Trump detail beyond level for formers. Official said, “The Secret Service detail has been bulked up by additional special agents and support teams to ensure the highest level of security for not only the event sites but the travel in between events.” (source)

Generally speaking, the current DC system operators, that are referred to as the ‘Biden administration’, have no motivation to protect Donald Trump other than their sense of personal responsibility to the nation President Trump represents.

Given the effort that Tucker Carlson has put into mainstreaming thoughts around the ‘killing of Trump‘, I am cautious to view any Secret Service effort through the prism of professional altruism.

I pray for the safety of President Trump and his family daily, because I am very clear-eyed about the nature of the enemy he faces.
