(New York August 26, 2015 ) Dear American:
As I started writing this letter after Donald Trump’s Dubuque
speech, preparing to present my take on Trump’s “Ronald Reagan moment,” I kept
monitoring the cable channels. Don Lemon and Douglas Brinkley on CNN had the
same reaction I did. CNN played the clip from February 23, 1980 when candidate Ronald Reagan grabbed a
microphone and asserted his control over a campaign event (please see link [1]
below). Reagan was on his way to the White House.
Jorge Ramos, a pompous anchor of Univision, went to a Trump
news conference, being held before a Trump speech in Dubuque ,
to create a disturbance (please see links [2][3] below).
First of all, it is important to note that Univision clearly
and indisputably breached a contract with Trump. Second, because a lawsuit is
pending between Trump and Univision, the parties are strictly speaking not
supposed to meet without lawyers present. So Trump can legitimately refuse to
interact with Univision employees while the lawsuit is pending.
Ramos was there to create a media moment, and he did. When Trump
called on another reporter Ramos stood up and started delivering a diatribe.
Trump had Ramos ejected for being rude and obstreperous.
In 1980, Reagan crossed the line from candidate to president
when he asserted his control of the microphone at a campaign event. August 25th,
Trump crossed the same line from candidate to president.
If you watch Trump’s speeches it is impossible to ignore his
constant improvement both in delivering a speech and in conducting a news
conference. Tuesday night he looked presidential in answering questions. When
Ramos tried to disrupt the news conference, Trump calmly had him removed. After
his trip to the penalty box Ramos was allowed to return. He got to ask a series
of questions while still continuing to pontificate.
Let me start by explaining a developing bias on my part. I
have watched the Black Lives Matter group disrupt political meetings and I
don’t like it one bit, even though I deeply believe in the underlying theme
that Black Lives Matter.
Likewise, I am growing weary of endless threats from
Hispanics/Latinos to disrupt the 2016 presidential election by voting for
candidates who support Latino demands that the United
States surrender its sovereignty and allow
uncontrolled illegal immigration.
Increasingly I see the matter the way many attendees at
Trump events must see the Latino disruptions. What gives you the right to demand
a right to break our laws? If you are a legally registered voter, i.e. a
citizen, then your loyalty is to American law, not Mexico ,
Central America or anywhere else in the world. The idea
that U. S.
citizens are agitating for people from another country to be allowed to violate
our laws is deeply disturbing to me as I believe it is to every loyal American.
Yes, loyal American. My loyalty is to the red, white and blue, not the nations
from whence my family came in earlier generations. I am very proud of my
heritage, but I claim no right for people from my heritage countries to come
here and break the law.
The media deride the feelings of Trump supporters. I think
Trump is being truthful and authentic when he says he loves Hispanics. But as a
potential president he realizes respect for the law is a cornerstone of
American citizenship and American strength. And of a winning campaign. When
Jorge Ramos stood up and started acting like an ass, instead of a journalist,
and started delivering a speech and demanding to be heard, I was not impressed.
I am very much not impressed by people who find Ramos’s behavior acceptable.
It is about time to remind Latinos/Hispanics that when they
were either born here or took the oath of allegiance to the United
States , they surrendered all loyalty to
their former countries, and they should start acting as Americans instead of as
foreign agents.
Trump played beautifully against Ramos’ boorishness. In
fact, if Trump could have paid Ramos to deliver Ramos’ act, he should have done
so.
I well remember the same liberal media types that used to
call Reagan a “movie actor” and are now deriding Trump. The American people do
not like media arrogance and yes, they don’t even like media arrogance and
corruption when it is delivered by Fox News (see below for my upcoming analysis
of the Trump/Kelly drama).
Trump still has to up his game as a speaker. He may think he
is a great speaker but he has a lot to learn. He can speak without notes;
that’s great. But he needs to deliver his ideas more concisely and more
crisply. His speeches have improved markedly and if he keeps improving he will
be very formidable as we move into September.
But Mr. Trump is learning to be a president. He proved that
to me in Dubuque , Iowa
Some news from Andy about his campaign:
When I announced my own campaign for the Republican
presidential nomination I made it clear I did not expect to win. Rather, I am
advancing a series of agendas in which I passionately believe, such as
preserving the New Hampshire
primary, protecting the memory of Alexander Hamilton and other issues. If
someone wants to invite me to a debate or meeting or speech, I am happy to
appear as a candidate. If not, well, I am not going to “Pull a Ramos” and try
to disrupt an event. I have serious issues which motivate me, not the least of
which is a strong desire to see that the Mexican-American candidate for
president, Jeb Bush, is not nominated. And, like Donald Trump, I am enjoying
myself. Immensely.
I have spent my entire life “in the arena,” on the playing
field. But I am primarily not a player, I am a writer and analyst, if a
clandestine one at that. Over the past few days, as I have watched the Trump
campaign unfold I have thought, “there is a great book in all of this.” Whether
Trump wins or loses he has changed the course of America ,
forever. So I am hoping to take the letters I am writing, of which this is one,
and combining them into a book, “Blue Collar Billionaire: Donald Trump’s quest
for the presidency.”
My book on Barack Obama (see below) became the original
bible on “Barry O.” I knew Obama from the streets of Chicago ,
I knew him as no one else did. And I have known Trump or watched him for 36 or
37 years, when I approved his first lease as he moved from Queens
into Manhattan into a condominium
where I served on the board of directors.
I have started looking for a publisher and an expanded
budget. I will remain a candidate into next year, until the Republican nominee
is chosen, whom I will almost certainly support (unless it is Bush). And I will
also be active as a writer on the campaign trail. Please wish me well.
