Trump embraces the establishment he once scorned*

“You know, the top people, senators, and all these people, a lot of them don’t know me. A lot of them do because, as you know, I’ve been in politics for a long time…I used to be establishment. You know, I’d write big checks all the time, right? I was establishment. When I did this [run for president], I was sort of very anti-establishment.” – Donald Trump on Sean Hannity, February 29

Donald Trump has recently embraced the reviled and traitorous Republican establishment in such a breathtaking manner that if citizens did not already understand that Donald Trump is, was and has always been “establishment,” engaged Americans are once again given a clear sign that the whole “anti-establishment” act was a ruse, much like Trump’s “self funding” scam.

Consider that recently, former House Speaker John Boehner “said he has played golf with Donald Trump for years and that they were ‘texting buddies.'”

Here are some of Trump’s recent tweets, gushing all over the traitorous GOP establishment:

Lindsey Graham

Senator Lindsey Graham called me yesterday, very much to my surprise, and we had a very interesting talk about national security, and more!

A quick reminder is in order that actual Constitutional conservatives, whether they be elected by the people or a part of local groups such as the Tea Party, have been abused by the establishment in word and deed. While the Democrats and the GOP establishment refer to patriots as “obstructionists,” the big lie being swallowed by many is that getting along is bad for America. The founding fathers understood that checks and balances were needed and took great pains to devise a system that prevented any one branch of the government from gaining too much power.

While Donald Trump told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer back in January that “getting along” was the “purpose of what the founders created,” nothing could be further from the truth.

Nothing better illustrates the phoniness of politicians than the ease w/ which they shift from blasting one another to praising one another.

A hat tip to Politico for the title idea.
