Not a bad article, and his hypothesis is not one that is ignored by many Trump supporters that I'm aware of. If extreme violence increases even to the point of 9/11-scale terrorist attacks, governmental response is always iffy. Look at the response to 9/11 itself: illegal wars that are still going on, and the trigger to overthrow 7 Muslim countries, etc.Silver wrote: ↑February 8th, 2017, 11:04 pm This guy has nailed it so far. You'd be wise to take the time to read this article and understand why Trump is not going to make America great again.
The article ends with a chilling prediction. I hope he's wrong.

But notice that at least in this article, Smith doesn't start labeling Trump as a murderer, and even says: "Trump has hardly had time to do anything yet that would warrant national protests".
I find a couple of Smith's assertions, at least, rather questionable. These include the idea that Soros' machinations are not designed to overthrow Trump. That may be the case, but the majority of Leftists' would be overjoyed at this prospect and seem to be working overtime to make it happen. Another one is where he says: "globalists and the leftist media have been, in a strange way, quietly cheering for Trump". I haven't run across any of this cheering, unless he means they are quite openly trying to entrap him and even identify actual missteps by Trump in as many ways as they can in order to ramp up their anti-Trump rhetoric.
Anything to grow dissension fits their agenda. Playing off possible overreactions to this dissension is simply just one take off point available to them. The scenarios that may develop aren't confined to just this one possibility, IMHO.
Is Trump a conscious shill for the hypothesis Smith puts forward? I doubt it, but haven't entirely excluded the possibility. My sense is that Trump listens too much to advisors who harbor views antithetic to his campaign positions.
