I said immediately following the guilty verdict from the biased and manipulated New York City jury, that District Attorney Alvin Bragg “just elevated President Trump to countercultural icon status.” [link]  The reason is simple, Americans inherently sense corruption, unfairness and can feel when something is profoundly wrong.

While many Americans may not fully understand the granular issues at the heart of the Lawfare cases, they know President Trump has not done anything wrong in comparative scale to the attacks and vitriol leveled against him.  This “sense” of bearing witness to gross injustice creates an outcome of support for the person being targeted.

Icons are created when the regime in power defines outlaws, while the injustice within the definition makes them heroes to the public.  President Trump went from being the greatest political influence in modern history to being a countercultural icon as soon as the jury reached their biased and manipulated decision.

It is with this context in mind we now watch the political evolution of Donald Trump continue.

The theme of MAGA Trump goes from directing public attention via a finger pointed toward the corruption, to pointing his middle finger of “f**k you” specifically at the corrupt officials.  Yes, a liberated icon is born!

At this juncture, the self-restraint, retained niceties and mannerisms of polite familiarity change.  The target accepts the polite plea for decency is futile and accepts, no, embraces their outlaw status.  Things change quickly.

The entire DC system is aligned against the social media platform TikTok; however, there is a cultural dynamic at play in the background within the user demographic.  Additionally, TikTok is arguably the only widely used social media platform that is not directly influenced by and controlled by the Dept of Homeland Security and USA intelligence apparatus.  That reality is likely why Washington DC hates it.

Embracing his position outside the cultural norms of the established political system, President Donald J Trump now joins TikTok…

This seemingly small and innocuous move puts Donald J Trump on the opposite side of an issue all of Washington DC seem to agree with, and that is exactly what creates all the elements for expanded support.  GREAT MOVE!
