Trump’s Op-Ed: ‘American People Are The Real Victim’
In an op-ed with Newsweek, former President Donald Trump laid out his perspective on the Russiagate investigation, calling it “the most atrocious weaponization of our government in American history.” He argued that the real victims of the hoax were not himself, or his family, but the American people.
Trump began by referencing the report by Special Counsel John Durham, stating that it “makes clear beyond a shred of doubt that the Russia Hoax was a crime like no other.” He accused an “unelected cabal” in the senior ranks of the government, along with Hillary Clinton and media allies, of launching the Russia Hoax to prevent his election and sabotage his presidency.
The former President detailed the alleged conspiracy, accusing the “Deep State plotters” of spying on his campaign, forging false evidence, and offering $1 million for a fictitious dossier to frame him with treason. He claimed that the Durham Report proves that key figures knew the collusion theory was a lie but covered it up to keep the hoax going.
Trump also implicated former President Barack Obama and current President Joe Biden, stating that they were briefed on reports that Clinton planned to “vilify Donald Trump by stirring up a scandal claiming interference by the Russian Security Services.” He asserts that they knew the truth, yet they put the country through hell.
According to Trump, the real victims of the Russiagate Hoax were the American people. He argued that the hoax “subverted our democracy, threatened our security, and endangered our freedom.” He also blamed the hoax for stoking mass hysteria that drove Russia into the arms of China, leading to a proxy war with Russia and potentially to World War III.
Trump further criticized the Radical Left establishment for using the Russia Hoax to attack freedom of speech, building a censorship regime under the guise of combating “Russian disinformation.” He connected this to the censorship of the Biden corruption scandal in 2020, claiming that truthful coverage would have changed the election’s outcome.
In his concluding remarks, Trump calls for a reckoning, stating that “accountability now lies in the hands of the voters.” He presents a stark choice: “either the Deep State destroys America, or we destroy the Deep State.”
Trump’s op-ed is a forceful and detailed account of his perspective on the Russiagate investigation. The op-ed also comes at a time when Trump is actively campaigning for the GOP nomination in the 2024 election, making the timing and content of the piece particularly significant. The former President’s words resonate with his base and provide insight into his view of the political landscape.
Whether one agrees or disagrees with his perspective, the piece is a notable contribution to the ongoing debate about the role of government, media, and technology.
In the end, Trump’s op-ed is not just a reflection of his personal views but a call to action for his supporters and a challenge to his detractors. It is a statement of intent and a rallying cry for a political movement that continues to shape the direction of America, and potentially the next election.
