Is Donald Trump One of the X-Men?

By Armando Simón

What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.

—Friedrich Nietzsche

In the fictional “Marvel universe,” there is a mutant who has a unique power. He is immune to any physical attack. Not only is he immune, but his undamaged body absorbs the power of the attack, be it a punch, a shot, a cannonball, and return it right back twofold to the attacker.

I suspect that Donald Trump is this type of mutant.

Let me explain. Everything that the Communists have thrown at Trump have had no real effect on him and have only served to enhance the esteem, the admiration, and yes, the love for the man.

• The constant repetition of lies and insults about the man (“he is literally Hitler!”) were laughable to anyone except a fanatic.
• The impeachments which were also laughable (one over a telephone call asking a foreign government official if an American official had committed a crime—Bided did, indeed), where altered, fraudulent “evidence” was presented. The second impeachment (mind you, to remove a president from office), took place a few days before leaving anyway.
• The fraudulent 2020 election. The rise to power of his arrogant opponents revealed for all to see the totalitarian basis to their political party. Further underlined was the incompetent, and even psychotic, policies that they pursued. Not only did such policies come close to ruining the country, not only did they reveal their hatred for the country, but it also rendered them open to ridicule.
• The lawfare. Equally laughable (and why are these people such delusional buffoons?) were the transparent Show Trials that they subjected the man to. The venue, the juries, the judges were carefully picked to render the preordained judgement, with the judges practically foaming at the mouth. And the charges! One was for the bloodcurdling crime of having borrowed money and paid the money back with interest (Oh, the horror! The horror!). When this particular case came in front of the appellate court, the justices gutted the State’s attorneys like they were fish, to the point that at the end, as a closing argument, the male attorney begged not to be sanctioned by the court even as he cried.
• And to put both the frosting and the cherry on top, the assassination attempts, blatantly arranged by the Communists inside the government. In the first, when he missed being murdered by the skin of his teeth—by the skin of his ear, actually—instead of cowering, he was fearless, defiant, urging his followers to “Fight, fight, fight!” won over tens of thousands—not only in America, but in countries around the world—not the elites, mind you, but by common citizens. A Holocaust survivor stated, “He’s a mensch.” My daughter, who was mildly leaning towards voting for him, when she saw what happened, muttered, “Wow, what a man.” My son, who has no interest in politics, said he was voting Libertarian but voting for Trump, “Because he was shot.”

One would think that the people that want him out of the picture would stop and think and come to the obvious conclusion to stop attacking him, but they can’t help themselves.

Such is the nature of fanaticism.
