ST. LOUIS, Missouri—Donald Trump took some lumps but managed to bounce back at the second Republican presidential debate Sunday, Oct. 9—navigating an early media-fed attack that was intended to keep him fixated on the slurs he had made about women in “barstool banter” recorded during a 2005 meeting with media figure Billy Bush.
At the time, the New York-born Bush was host of Access Hollywood. As is widely known, Trump’s approximately three-minutes of remarks with Bush were recorded partly aboard an Access Hollywood bus, and partly after he got off the bus with Bush. Trump and Bush were accompanied by a few film crew members. They were greeted by an attractive actress.
Trump’s remarks, although not sexual in nature for the entire duration of his chummy chat with the young Bush, were quite vulgar, as he readily admitted during the Oct. 9 debate in St. Louis. But in what must have been a tough challenge even for this thick-skinned real estate mogul, he did apologize for—and break free from—the “Bush-banter” trap set at the debate so he could hammer Hillary on more substantive issues.
ANOTHER BUSH ON THE SCENE
Quickly obscured by a media that routinely distorts or buries deeper issues is the fact that Billy Bush is none other than the nephew of powerful political patriarch and former CIA head George Herbert Walker Bush. He, of course, is a former president who hatched the initial job-killing North American Free Trade Agreement that was passed on to President Bill Clinton to sign into law.
Billy is the son of George H.W.’s younger brother, Jonathan. That makes Trump’s former GOP presidential rival Jeb Bush and former President George W. Bush Billy’s first cousins. That this curious fact was hushed by the media raises some questions, not the least of which is whether Trump, given his weakness for the fairer sex and his notorious cockiness, could have been baited into making lewd remarks so they could be recorded, filed, and used against him if ever necessary.
Yes, this is speculation, for now. But the context is interesting. Trump tentatively indicated as early as 1987 on the Oprah Winfrey Show and in 1989 on the Larry King Show that he’d consider a presidential run. From there, he became more famous from his prime-time TV show “The Apprentice.” He also appeared before Congressional committees to testify on key issues, among other public appearances, before and after his 2005 remarks to Billy Bush. All of this could be seen as benchmarks of his progress—from the board room to politics.
So here was a reasonably handsome, largely independent billionaire who was becoming more famous and was known for harboring presidential ambitions. The old-guard “powers-that-be,” which includes the Bush dynasty and a virtual Clinton dynasty if Hillary were to win the Nov. 8 election, would arguably have had an early interest in quietly gathering dirt on Trump in case rumblings of his presidential run ever became reality. “Old money” generally dislikes “new money.”
Still, the Bushes and the Clintons are stealth allies. Notably, Trump made sure at the debate to reserve some jabs for Bill Clinton, who was in the audience. (As were three women against whom Bill was strongly accused of making forcible advances: Juanita Broderick, Kathleen Willey and Paula Jones). Trump claimed at the debate that his remarks to Billy Bush were mere words (not past or planned actions), while Bill Clinton, especially during his Arkansas state government days, allegedly engaged in criminal sexual actions, with Hillary protecting Bill’s every move and lashing out at Bill’s female accusers, despite her claims of being a steadfast advocate for women’s rights and wellness.
And Hillary, like the two former Bush presidents, is simply a Bill Kristol-style neo-conservative war hawk, except that she’s disguised in Democratic garb to buffalo the masses. She’s an ardent internationalist, as evidenced by her speeches to Goldman Sachs bankers in which she championed free trade and open borders.
Wikileaks’ recent massive release of her emails (the ones that weren’t deleted) contains passages of her Goldman talks. At the debate, Trump, based on Hillary having received around $200,000 a pop for dozens of speeches to Goldman and other gilded clients, asked Hillary why she didn’t follow his lead and self-fund least part of her campaign, rather than over-relying on big-money donors who will expect a president who works for them. She did not have a cogent answer.
Thus, with Hillary’s foreign policy outlook on par with that of the Bushes, she also is on par with the Bush clan in terms of supporting massive free trade deals that give the super-rich their pools of cheap labor and an economic means of welding nations together in endless alliances and trade zones that erode national identity.
Then, appropriately during the debate, Trump attacked Hillary for her undying NAFTA allegiance and her fake opposition to the even larger trade and investment scam known as the Trans Pacific Partnership.
More pointedly, Trump proved himself pretty adept at scouring Hillary at the debate for deleting some 33,000 of her emails (from her time as Secretary of State) AFTER she was subpoenaed by Congress. Furthermore, Trump went so far as to say the following things:
· Hillary has “tremendous hate in her heart,” evidenced, he said, by her recent infamous “deplorables” remark in which she evidently belittled everyday working-class Americans, even calling them “irredeemable.” Hillary countered by claiming she was really talking about Trump and not his supporters.
· Hillary bore primary responsibility for the attack on the American embassy in Benghazi, which got several Americans killed, while Trump added that the broader destruction of Libya in 2011 was fully supported by then-Secretary of State Clinton, creating a vacuum filled by the ISIS terrorist outfit.
· And Trump went on to say that Hillary is too anti-Russia even though Russia, Iran and Syria—while Trump considers the three nations rogue in some respects—are nevertheless America’s most effective allies in fighting ISIS. Trump also called for getting along with Russian leader Vladimir Putin as well as possible. Hillary attempted to concur about Putin, through rather unconvincingly.
And in the most hard-hitting moment of the St. Louis debate, when Hillary said it is “awfully good that someone with the temperament of Donald Trump is not in charge of the law in our country,” Trump blasted back, “Because you’d be in jail,” a reference to the total lack of punishment of Hillary for her email debacle that put confidential information at risk of exposure because she used a private email server. The FBI reportedly may re-new a probe of Hillary by way of the Clinton Foundation, even though the agency dropped its probe into Hillary’s email handlings.
THE CLINTON ‘BODY COUNT’ RETURNS
Although much more could be said about the Oct. 9 debate, where Trump charged that Hillary should be in jail for her email white-washing, it’s really the sordid and scary background of the Clintons that more Americans need to strongly consider with the Nov 8 general election looming. With that in mind, watch this TRUTH HOUND blog for more updates as the last (Oct. 19) debate approaches.
In so doing, check out the Clinton Body Count video displayed at the top of this article.
Take note that not every single death can necessarily be attributed to the Clintons with rock-hard proof. But many of the 114 mysterious deaths surrounding “Bill and Hill” deserve very careful consideration, since many cases do indeed contain considerable connections to the Clintons.
IS ‘THE FIX’ IN REGARDING HILLARY?
Clearly, Trump’s machismo has sometimes been an embarrassment to him, to 16 notable Republicans who say they’ve stopped supporting him, to some women and to others. But it’s nothing compared to even a handful of the often fiendish Clinton scandals covered in this video. Ergo, the prospect of someone like Hillary entering the Oval Office at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and controlling the military is considered by many as an inconceivably frightening prospect. And, curiously enough, we have to wonder if the media-driven “fix” is in, given this particular remark she made during the St. Louis debate: “I hope by the time I AM PRESIDENT we have pushed ISIS out of Iraq.”
