The Ploys, the Lies, and the Truth: Why Trump Still Stands

   From the moment Donald Trump descended that golden escalator in 2015, I knew something seismic had been set in motion. The establishment that had run Washington for decades suddenly realized its grip on power was being threatened. What followed has been, in my view, one of the most coordinated political assaults in American history, a nonstop campaign to destroy one man and silence the millions who believed in him.
   
   I supported Donald Trump then, and I support him now. Over these past years, I’ve watched Democrats and their allies in the media throw everything imaginable at him: investigations, hoaxes, impeachments, and smear campaigns. And yet, through every headline and every false accusation, Trump endured, and time and again, he was cleared.
   
   It started with the Russia hoax. Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the DNC funded the now-discredited Steele Dossier, packed with lies about Trump colluding with Moscow. That dossier became the backbone for FBI surveillance of his campaign, setting off years of chaos. In the end, Special Counsel investigations found no collusion. The entire narrative collapsed, but not before it poisoned public trust and dominated the news cycle for years. Meanwhile, Clinton’s own private-server scandal quietly faded away. To me, that contrast said everything about who Washington protects and who it targets.
   
   When Trump won in 2016, the establishment didn’t regroup; they revolted. Democrats branded themselves “the Resistance” and set out to sabotage his presidency before it even began. The Mueller probe dragged on for two years, devouring time and taxpayer money, only to confirm what Trump had said from day one: no conspiracy, no collusion, no crime. But the media had already done the damage.
   
   Then came impeachment number one, the Ukraine affair. Trump’s phone call with President Zelensky was twisted into something it wasn’t. He was asking about potential corruption involving the Bidens, which we now know was a legitimate concern. Still, Democrats rushed to impeach. When the dust settled, the Senate acquitted him, and the so-called scandal vanished as quickly as it had appeared.
   
   The media’s behavior during those years was disgraceful. They clipped his speeches, twisted his words, and spread fabrications, the “fine people” hoax after Charlottesville, the “inject bleach” nonsense, the claim that he called fallen soldiers “losers.” Each was debunked, but not before being repeated endlessly. It was never about truth; it was about control.
   
   By 2020, the gloves were completely off. When the Hunter Biden laptop story surfaced just weeks before the election, it was labeled “Russian disinformation” by 51 intelligence officials and suppressed by social media. We now know the laptop was real. The story could have shifted the election, but the truth was buried. The same year, pandemic policies and mass mail-in ballots created confusion and distrust, and when Trump raised concerns, he was painted as an enemy of democracy.
   
   The chaos of January 6th gave Democrats their next weapon: a second impeachment. They accused Trump of inciting violence, ignoring the fact that his actual words called for peace and patriotism. Once again, the Senate acquitted him. The pattern was obvious: accuse, amplify, fail, and move on to the next attack.
   
   After leaving office, the onslaught only intensified. Democratic prosecutors like Letitia James, Alvin Bragg, and Fani Willis launched overlapping investigations and charges, while Special Counsel Jack Smith piled on federal cases. To me, it was clear these weren’t about justice; they were about eliminating a political rival. Even as evidence unraveled and legal theories fell apart, the narrative stayed the same: “get Trump.”
   
   And yet, against all odds, Trump came roaring back in 2024. The same people who spent eight years calling him a danger to democracy watched in disbelief as the American people sent him back to the Oval Office. Once again, Democrats turned to the courts, the bureaucracy, and the press to block his agenda. But one by one, their efforts have faltered. Judges have ruled in his favor, the 14th Amendment disqualification schemes failed, and Trump remains the duly elected President 47.
   
   Looking back, it’s impossible to ignore the sheer volume of attacks this one man has faced. No other president in history has been so relentlessly investigated, vilified, and lied about—and no other has survived it all with the strength that Donald Trump has shown. Each failed attempt to destroy him only exposed the rot within our institutions and the arrogance of those who think they alone should rule.
   
   To me, this story isn’t just about Trump. It’s about truth, fairness, and the fight against a political machine that forgot who it’s supposed to serve. Trump didn’t just withstand their attacks; he revealed the system for what it really is. And after everything they’ve thrown at him, he’s still standing, stronger, wiser, and once again leading the country he loves.
   
   As a woman who has supported him from the very beginning, I can say this with pride: they tried everything to bring him down, and still, he won.
