As the editor of a magazine that back in 1993 struck the first major blow
in destroying the reputation of a president, I think I should have
something to say about blackening the reputation of Donald Trump. After
all, back in the early 1990s Bill Clinton was apparently widely esteemed
as the Virgin President candidate. Today he is hiding under his bed in
Chappaqua, fearing what might be revealed when the next batch of documents
are revealed in the Jeffrey Epstein-Ghislaine Maxwell scandal.
In The American Spectators Troopergate pieces of the early 1990s, we
established that Bill Clinton preyed upon women flagrantly in two pieces
that were the most devastating exposes on a sitting president ever to be
published in American history. Of course, the mainstream media rejected
them despite the fact that they relied on the testimony of Bills
bodyguards. How does the old saying go? No man is a hero to his valet?
Well, apparently it does not apply to the governor of Arkansas.
At the Spectator we were called liars, fabricators and worse by seasoned
journalists who apparently believed that Bill would not break the Sixth
Commandment or the Ninth Commandment or, much less, tamper with George
Washingtons cherry tree.
Today, almost two decades later, the depiction of Bill Clinton and his
lovely wife Bruno as respectively a womanizer and an enabler is pretty
much taken as a matter of fact even by the mainstream media. Though no
journalist I know of ever credits The American Spectator for blowing the
whistle on Bill or credits the Arkansas troopers for risking their necks
by telling the truth about him and Hillary.
For that matter, I cannot think of any of the women who stepped forward to
tell their story of the Clintons ruthlessness toward them receiving
credit. However, I can remember James Carville talking about trailer camp
trash with respect to one of the women, Paula Corbin Jones.
With all this in mind, I am called upon to meditate on the latest attack
on the most maligned president in American history, Donald Trump. Last
week, The Atlantic, the magazine that represents the last refuge of goody-
goody liberalism in America, published an assault on Donald Trump. After
years of claims that he has among other things colluded with the Russians,
boasted of touching woman where they go to the bathroom, and other claims
that have all been refuted, The Atlantic has settled on a new charge.
The president has disparaged our World War I dead. Moreover, he did it two
years ago. Yes, the fact checkers at The Atlantic have spent two years
verifying the factuality of this story so they could get it just right.
And now it is ready to see the light of day just weeks before the
election. It was close, but they made it.
According to The Atlantics anonymous sources, the president referred to
the vets whose bodies lie in a French cemetery as losers and suckers.
The cemetery is the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery about 50 miles from
Paris. The White House says it cancelled the trip from Paris to Aisne-
Marne because of inclement weather. The Atlantic claims it was out of
regard for the presidents hair. Yes, you read that right. He was having a
bad hair day.
The White House says nonsense. Moreover, no one has been found to back up
the anonymous sources though John Bolton, who is no friend of the
president, denies the story and he was there when the decision to cancel
the trip was made.
So, we have the story of four anonymous sources or we do not have the
story of four anonymous sources to bandy around in the news for a few
days and then we can come up with some new story. How about Donald picked
his nose in public, and the Russians have taped the whole sordid event?
When we ran the Troopergate stories back in the 1990s, the press claimed a
reputable news source would not go with a story unless it had sources,
usually identifiable sources. We did. How many? I have forgotten.
Actually, there is no reason to remember them. American journalism no
longer has any standards whatsoever.

Spectator. He is the author most recently of The Death of Liberalism,

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump
truck.
Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for cleaning up the disaster
of the Obama presidency.
Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
queer liberal democrat donors.
President Trump has boosted the economy, reduced illegal immigration,
appointed dozens of judges and created jobs.
Senile loser and NAMBLA supporter Nancy Pelosi got "Trumped" on February
5, 2020. "President Trump, Not Guilty."
