Donald Trump - ILANA MERCER

- “A vote for Trump in 2024 is a vote for the Jarvanka organism, or familial mutations of it. The family will be back in the People’s House, minus the MAGA agenda.”—ILANA Mercer, “Ron DeSantis Delivers First Principles In Action,” November 10, 2022
- “MAGA America must cancel Jan. 6; consider it a civilian Psychological Operation intended to ‘induce’ and ‘reinforce behavior’ meant to politically and psychologically pulverize the Democrats’ enemies: us.”—ILANA Mercer, “Deplorables, Cancel The January 6 PSYOP!,” January 6, 2022

“The purpose of a Jan. 6 commemoration is to single out MAGA America as an object for ignominy, while consecrating and celebrating menstrual America: the woke crybabies of Congress and the Capitol Hill cops who wailed the loudest when recounting their professional failings on that day.”—ILANA Mercer, “Deplorables, Cancel The January 6 PSYOP!,” January 6, 2022
“Stay away from the force-field of evil that is the Democrats’ Jan. 6 Psychological Operation (PSYOP). Much like the Russia hoax—it was a plot to unseat a president—the Jan. 6 monomania is meant to overthrow a people, MAGA America. Since there is nothing much to commemorate, except for the cold-blooded, unpunished murder of an unarmed protester, Ashli Babbit, Jan. 6 must be viewed as a long-term, cynical political strategy.”—ILANA Mercer, “Deplorables, Cancel The January 6 PSYOP!,” January 6, 2022
January 6: “Deplorables should rejoice for the Democrats are having a fit, and that’s fun. Rejoice, but do not partake in or dignify the production. Ignore Jan. 6 as you would ‘spam for penis extensions.’”—ILANA Mercer, “Deplorables, Cancel The January 6 PSYOP!,” January 6, 2022
“Hardcore libertarians differentiate between pro-Trump patriots and Black Lives Matter detritus: BLM rioters trashed, looted and leveled their countrymen’s private property, their businesses. Democratic stormtroopers harassed their fellow Americans—meek men and women in eateries, in shopping malls, in the inner sanctum of their homes—often forcing innocents to kneel or recite repulsive, self-incriminating racial catechisms. These Mao-like cultural revolutionaries descended like locusts on places where their fellow Americans shop and socialize, sadistically threatening, and often visiting, physical harm upon their countrymen, unless they knelt before them like slaves. In contrast, the ragtag men and women of the MAGA movement stormed only the seat of power and corruption that is the State.”—ILANA Mercer, “A Hardcore Libertarian Take On The Storming Of The Capitol Building,” January 21, 2021.
“Here’s the difference between pro-Trump patriots and Black Lives Matter detritus: The latter, BLM, trashed, looted and leveled their countrymen’s livelihoods, their businesses. MAGA men and women stormed the seats of corruption.”—ILANA Mercer, “MAGA Patriots: The Best of People In The Worst of Times,” January 7, 2021.
“Trump’s America has had it with this confederacy of cretins and knaves, that ‘minds other people’s business,’ and can’t even leave the language alone, much less their president.”—ILANA Mercer, “MAGA Patriots: The Best of People In The Worst of Times,” January 7, 2021.
“Trump’s base of supporters is referred to as whites without college degrees. Again and again we’ve heard that Trump overperformed with white men without college degrees. The reference is intended not only as a demographic marker, but as a Mark of Cain.”—ILANA MERCER, “Simplest Source of Voter Fraud Is Baked Into the System,” November 19, 2020.
“Above and beyond holding rallies and countering the Kamala Administration policies—Donald J. Trump will catalyze many more creative, informal acts of secession. Patriots will congregate in compounds of like-minded individuals. They’ll migrate virtually to Parler, the free speech social network. And they’ll withdraw en masse from the miseducation system (primary, secondary and tertiary). Two parallel nations and attendant presidencies will form. The low-grade upheaval against Deep State and Deep Tech will continue apace. And the sprawling political machine that makes up the D.C. Comitatus will keep writhing like a fire-breathing mythical monster in the throes of death. All good things.”—ILANA MERCER, “Trump’s Going Beast Mode: Dissident Donald’s Parallel Presidency,” November 12, 2020
“Trump is just now getting into Beast Mode. Dissident Donald will be rising now for real. The presidency was Donald J. Trump dabbling at Establishment respectability. From now on, he’ll be running a populist movement, perhaps a new party—for he owns the Republican Party—parallel to an administration that’s viewed by 72 million Deplorables as illegitimate.”—ILANA MERCER, “Trump’s Going Beast Mode: Dissident Donald’s Parallel Presidency,” November 12, 2020
“This Trump Derangement Syndrome is like the inflammatory cytokine storm generated by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus. The one ravages the body’s internal organs, the other poisons the body politic. America got the presidential debate the country’s inflamed lymphatic systems can support.”—ILANA Mercer, “Trump Floated Like A Butterfly And Stung Like A Bee,” October 1, 2020.
“Until such time when the individual is king again, and a decentralized Constitution that guarantees regional and individual autonomy has been restored—the process of creative destruction begun by Donald Trump is likely the best Americans can hope for. Put differently, in this age of unconstitutional government—Democratic and Republican—the best liberty lovers can look to is action and counteraction, force and counterforce in the service of liberty.”—ILANA Mercer, “The Trump Revolution: The Donald’s Creative Destruction Deconstructed,” June, 2016.
“Like limpet mines, the oddly plastic-looking Kushner couple has suctioned itself to the West Wing and is blowing up the Trump agenda (with pater’s permission, of course).”—ILANA Mercer, “The Donald’s Peculiar Problem: Ivanka,” The Unz Review, July 4, 2019.
“Other than commandeering the Trump presidency, Ivanka’s greatest achievement is the branding of the anemic, androgynous production that is Jared Kushner. Kushner is like a wax doll out of London’s Madame Tussauds wax museum. Sexually “intersectional,” he’s politically perfect: neither man nor woman.”—ILANA Mercer, “The Donald’s Peculiar Problem: Ivanka,” The Unz Review, July 4, 2019.
“Ivanka at her serious best is Barbie doll hair, an overbite, Botox and mind-numbing banalities.”—ILANA Mercer, “The Donald’s Peculiar Problem: Ivanka,” The Unz Review, July 4, 2019.
“Ivanka is calling the shots—the president’s fashion-focused daughter is behind the branding of the sexually androgynous, intellectually inchoate production that is Jared Kushner.”—ILANA Mercer, “Jared Packs Unicorns and Rainbows For Mideast Trip,” May 30, 2019, The Unz Review.
“What comes out of the Trump White House is an ideological cacophony. Hiring different perspectives in business could well be a strength. But it’s a weakness when politics and policy are in play. Needed to advance a political agenda is a team that shares the political philosophy underlying the agenda.”—ILANA Mercer, “Trump’s Phone Call To Putin,” Mises Institute, Power & Market Blog, March 22, 2018.
“How exactly did the president normalize neoconservatism? In 2016, liberals accused candidate Trump of isolationism. Neoconservatives—aka Conservatism Inc.—did the same. Having consistently complained of his isolationism, the Left and the phony Right cannot but sanction President Trump’s interventionism. To some, the normalizing of neoconservatism by a president who ran against it is a stroke of genius; of a piece with Bill Clinton’s triangulation tactics. To others, it’s a cynical sleight of hand.”—ILANA Mercer, “How President Trump Normalized Neoconservatism,” WND.com, January 4, 2018.
“Trump has made it perfectly acceptable, on the Left and the pseudo-Right, to casually quip about troops in Niger and Norway.”—ILANA Mercer, “How President Trump Normalized Neoconservatism,” Storia.me, January 3, 2018.
“President Trump is too set in his ways and independent-minded to imbibe the layers of debased semiotics with which government lawyers routinely rape reality.”—ILANA Mercer, “Trump Fends Off ‘Showboat’ Comey And The Federal Zombies,” American Thinker, June 9, 2017.
“The tools threatening President Trump with impeachment have one bag of tricks stuffed with power tools: they audit, indict, arrest, bomb, change regimes. They don’t make profitable business deals; they tax them. They don’t make peace; they wage war.”—ILANA Mercer, “Trump Fends Off ‘Showboat’ Comey And The Federal Zombies,” American Thinker, June 9, 2017.
“The president’s linguistic infelicities—a word salad, at times—have given the press popinjays and their Washington overlords the foothold needed to go after the president. Throw in the ‘bad’ habits of a businessman he has retained. Trump transacts with everyone—Russians too. We voted for deals, not wars.”—ILANA Mercer, “Trump Fends Off ‘Showboat’ Comey And The Federal Zombies,” American Thinker, June 9, 2017.
“Look at Jared Kushner. The poor man looks low T—like he might one day go the way of Bruce Jenner, now Caitlyn Jenner. (I love LGBTQ, so long as they come in peace.) Jared’s not wearing the pants in the Kushner castle. The beguilingly beautiful Ivanka is.”—ILANA, “What Ivanka Wants, Ivanka Gets,” American Thinker, April 13, 2017.
“If a veteran political operative like Barack Obama is considered beyond reproach, incapable of abusing power—all the more so is it irrational, irresponsible and in Third-World style to hound an administration not yet fully assembled or ensconced, for a political past it lacks. Sane people must walk away from Fake News’ Russia Ruse.”—ILANA, “The Donald Vs. The Deep State,” The Daily Caller, March 9, 2017.
“Donald Trump’s political record is a few months old. Trump is a political newborn. In the language of law, President Trump has no political criminal record.”—ILANA, “The Donald Vs. The Deep State,” The Daily Caller, March 9, 2017.
“Look forward to epic images of heavy equipment barreling toward the Southern border. The sight of a gold-plated structure going up, as sections of the borderland along Mexico start to resemble Liberace’s backyard: This is sure to warm the cockles of your heart, and make America’s monomaniacal media go berserk.”—ILANA, “Let Milo Design The Wall,” The Liberty Conservative, March 3, 2017
“The countdown to President-elect Trump’s inauguration morphed into a search-and-rescue for the Obama legacy, except that when something is dead, it becomes a recovery operation.”—ILANA (January 19, 2017)
“Donald Trump, acting as a political Samson that threatens to bring the den of iniquity crashing down on its patrons.”—ILANA, “The Trump Revolution: The Donald’s Creative Destruction Deconstructed,” p. 2 (June 29, 2016)
“Donald Trump doesn’t collapse the distinction between ‘America’ and the U.S. government. He exhibits no confusion of category. To Trump, making America great means making the people great.”—ILANA, “The Trump Revolution: The Donald’s Creative Destruction Deconstructed,” p. 4, (June 29, 2016)
“Our neoconservative pseudo-conservatives speak like Tocqueville but act like Robespierre.”—ILANA, “The Trump Revolution: The Donald’s Creative Destruction Deconstructed,” p. 16, (June 29, 2016)
“The cable commentariat is a cog in the corpulent D.C. fleshpot.”—ILANA, “The Trump Revolution: The Donald’s Creative Destruction Deconstructed,” p. 40, (June 29, 2016)
“When the magic number of delegates was obtained, ‘1237’ became the new ‘300’ (a reference to the comic-book rendition of the epic Battle of Thermopylae in 480 BC).”—ILANA, “The Trump Revolution: The Donald’s Creative Destruction Deconstructed,” p. 43, (June 29, 2016)
“American journalism is a circle jerk of power brokers.”—ILANA, “The Trump Revolution: The Donald’s Creative Destruction Deconstructed,” p. 54, (June 29, 2016)
“By definition, a professional politician is opportunistic and parasitic. For his survival, he must feed off his hosts. To convince the host to let him hook on and drain his lifeblood, the political hookworm must persuade enough of them to believe his deception.”—ILANA, “The Trump Revolution: The Donald’s Creative Destruction Deconstructed,” p. 60, (June 29, 2016)
“Flawed though he most certainly is—Donald Trump belongs to the category of Americans who wield economic power. He has provided goods and services people want, built buildings and resorts they inhabit and frequent, provided his investors with a return on their investment. And he has done so using the peaceful, voluntary means of free-market capitalism. He has not passed an individual mandate to compel any and all to patronize his buildings, businesses or buy his products.”—ILANA, “The Trump Revolution: The Donald’s Creative Destruction Deconstructed,” p. 61, (June 29, 2016)
