In December 2019 I wrote: “History will look back on this tumultuous time of political polarization and contentious presidency of Donald J. Trump and perhaps, through the prism of hindsight, we will be given the grace to see the present moment for what it is. At least, I hope so. It really depends on who writes the history. According to Dan Brown (The Da Vinci Code), “History is always written by the winners. When two cultures clash, the loser is obliterated, and the winner writes the history books…”
So the big question is—who will win and write the history book? Will “America the Gullible” write that book? Will that history record that Americans accepted Donald Trump’s advice: “…what you are seeing and what you are reading is not what’s happening…Just stick with us, don’t believe the crap you see from these people, the fake news.” Will that history ignore reality? Will it simply say that what we saw, heard, and what we read from 2016 to the present moment was nothing but fake news and a hoax?
Have you noticed that every thing, every one, and every event that goes against Donald Trump is a hoax, a witch-hunt, a sham, a coup, a lie, unreal, and a crime? Every opponent who disagrees with Donald Trump is unpatriotic, a traitor, a partisan, an enemy of the people and has a low IQ.” America the Gullible buys into it, repeats it, believes it, ignoring evidence and facts. America the Gullible bows down in obeisance to “Just stick with us (me, Trump) and don’t believe the crap you see from these people, the fake news.” Will America the Gullible write the history?
Today, January 11, 2026, Donald Trump is again president. He has been in office for almost a year. The “Gullible” continue to be gullible. George Orwell wrote in 1984: “The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” Donald Trump announced this “essential command” during his first term: “…what you are seeing and what you are reading is not what’s happening…Just stick with us, don’t believe the crap you see from these people…” and America the Gullible continues to buy it, repeat it, and believe it.
