When Donald Trump's election win destroyed American leftists' faith in inevitable victorymany of them descended into a profound, uncontrollable fury. But the bizarre publictantrums belied a more calculated, sinister effort.Leaks of vague, suggestive intelligence from the US government fed a new extremistpolitical movement. Leftists in government, media, academia and the largelyunaccountable non-profit sector flocked to the cause. Their goal was nothing less thanoverturning the American election. They called themselves The Resistance.During the campaign Trump laid out his plan for the first 100 days of his presidency. ButThe Resistance had an agenda for Trump's first 100 days, too: stop Donald Trump andthe Republicans from exercising control of the federal government.
Every day of the Trump administration was a battle between those attempting to fulfill thepromises Trump made to the American people and those who sought to overturn anAmerican election by deceit, threats and violence. The clash set the tone for the Trumppresidency. If Trump prevailed against The Resistance it would mean the fulfillment ofthe promises that defined his slogan "Make America Great Again." If he failed, it meantmillions of Americans would be left with little to show for the historic leap of faith theytook when they elected Donald J. Trump the 45th President of the United States.
