The first phase is making the majority accept their dubious ascendancy into power. In our case, one used the media heavily in "legitimizing his illegal election." Another used the religious to provide him cover. A third ran again in the elections to prove people's votes put her up in power and won through what the "hello garci tapes" revealed.
Unfortunately, in the case of the WH occupant, he has failed to convince the majority of the American public that his election was bereft of ties with the guys from the other continent. In fact, the long period of investigation by the special counsel has made it imperative for the American people to doubt his being a president. And the occupant's pronouncements more and more declare that he is unfit to be a president in a country steep in democratic roots. He calls colored people names that are abominable even to ordinary folks. He does not feel anything even when he himself is a father, when Mexican children are grabbed by the border police from their parents. And many more.
The second phase in his attempts at legitimizing his government is this: he went abroad and met with many heads of states, and the last with the North Korean leader who until now has not made a clear position on whether to denuclearize or not. Still the occupant has not been successful abroad and in fact Germany, France, and Canada are very angry with him due to the tariffs that he is imposing on their products.
I think the third phase of his attempts is to start a war abroad, such as that war with Venezuela so that the focus will be on the war and not on his status. The day-to-day bloodletting, if the American soldiers will accede to his orders as questionable "commander-in-chief" will be truly bloody and thus will make the political issues focused on that.
Why is he able to come up with such ideas? A guy who is a product of media could suddenly think globally about invading another country? Someone must be advising him. I wonder who. Who will side with the US if she invades Venezuela?
Whatever attempt he makes now will not lessen the impact of the results of the Mueller investigation. You don't change horses in midstream seems to be a favorite quotation in US of A, but this time it might not be applicable.
Anyway, the political panorama in America is blurry, as the occupant, with the media coverage of his administration seems to show that he is "powerful" and the grassroots reactions are hardly given enough space.
Actually, the US should not fall into the trap of compromising as the country now looks like it's being run by someone in the other continent.
