An Independent View of the Trump Presidency

The Capitol Building is where new laws are developed, existing laws amended, and investigations take place. Home of the Senate and House of Representatives

This website focuses on education, not profit.

The purpose of this website is to get people to discuss Trump’s controversial presidency. I wanted to understand why people voted for Trump. As the investigations into Trump’s activities became more controversial, his presidency in his first term became increasingly more divisive. People with whom I have great respect seemed to become more determined to defend Trump’s activities. They also firmly believe that the Democratic Party has no solutions and that mainstream media distorts the truth about Trump. Unfortunately, these dedicated supporters primarily seek their information from Conservative media led by the Fox News organization, along with social media gossip.

A Message to Trump’s Faithful Conservatives

Even if you have no faith in the Democratic Party, you still need to pay attention to not only what the news media is saying about Trump’s dealings, but you also need to pay strict attention to what his true motives are. What benefits him the most, and what is he most afraid of happening to him?

What do the people who know Trump well and those who have worked for him really feel about him as a person? Pay particular attention to the people who truly supported his stated intentions, but now have been “Woken” to what his goals entail. What changed their minds?

The reasons for their change of mind are so numerous that it isn’t just one specific item, but a chain of events they experienced, or have been made a part of. The news media is flooded with information about what the hand-picked Trump Administration is doing that is unprecedented in American history.

His controversial policies are creating conflict and dissension among all of us living in the United States. Still, his rash, spur-of-the-moment judgments are creating fear and anxiety throughout the world. Trump’s constant changes of mind are creating a heavy imbalance in the world’s economy, not just ours.

President Trump’s history has to be studied because we need to solve problems, not create them. Cancelling well-established international agreements and recreating the federal government’s Department of Defense into the Department of War, are vivid indications of where Trump’s priority lies (meaning both the verb and the noun).

My website is dedicated to researching and debating Donald Trump’s rise to power in the Republican Party and what he has accomplished as President of the United States. Were his two impeachments justifiable, or is he the innocent victim of some “Deep State” cabal that includes all federal and democratic state government agencies?

All too many of our appointed government representatives have failed to uphold their Oaths of Office. They refused to read, or even admit that doing so was their given responsibility, the two most important historical documents that expose Donald Trump’s true intentions. The Mueller Report and the Heritage Foundation Project 2025. These documents tell the story of what he has done and what he is now doing.

The postings on my website may be somewhat lengthy, but Donald Trump gives us a lot to talk about before we can understand his true motives. You will find numerous links to documentation and videos that address Trump’s controversial presidency, which further explain my reasoning why all of the investigations into Trump’s activities are meaningful and not hoaxes. You do not need to take the time to click on each link when you first read one of my postings. But take the time to investigate further any subject that strikes you as being of concern. Please take the time to view the video hyperlinks. Live videos are even better than words and pictures that can all too easily be misleading. Please leave a reply that you want me or others to see.

What My Books Offer the Reader

An Independent View of the Donald Trump J. Presidency is a chronological research study of his first term in office, consisting of two separate books. It is broken down into what transpired between his first two years when the GOP was in full control of Congress, and what happened after the midterm election that led up to his two impeachment investigations. Book I tells the story of Donald Trump’s Rise to Power in the GOP and Book II reveals what caused Donald Trump’s Impeachment Problems

These two books give the reader the ability to quickly gain a much greater understanding of the conspiracy theories that have corrupted so much of our thinking. Here you will be able to find other sources to either bolster your beliefs or give you a possible reason to have further discussions with others with whom you may not agree. How did Donald Trump go from being accused of creating a violent insurrectional assault on the seat of our government at the U.S. Capitol Building to being reelected to a second term four years later?

Since the turn of the Century, our government’s ability to pass beneficial legislation and to oversee the corruption developing within our democratic structure of government has been ruled by misinformation and indifference. We concerned voters, need to demand that our elected officials follow the same rules of law that all of us are subject to and face the consequences for our failures in life. Donald Trump has escaped paying for his failures for all his life.

Furthermore, since Donald Trump was elected President in 2016, our government has been brought to the brink of collapse by the spread of misinformation, primarily by the expansive growth and misuse of the World Wide Web (WWW) of informational transfer. Technology has changed society drastically since the turn of the century in 2001. Now, with such great emphasis on the development and usage of AI – Artificial Intelligence, we need to demand its proper and strict regulation, not to leave these decisions solely in the hands of Trump’s controversial Presidency and the free enterprise system of government.

The Trump Organization became skilled in recognizing the widespread exposure that the internet offers and has been using the power of the internet to influence people’s thinking ever since. My book points out why the appointment of Special Counsel Robert Mueller to investigate the well-known fact that Russian operatives interfered in the 2016 Presidential Election began Trump’s downfall. Yet, he paid no personal consequences, as did the individuals who carried out his demands.

I also write about how electronic advancements have been used for great benefit, but opportunists have also misused their intended design. The internet has been the most remarkable achievement that has lost its greatness. The software search engine that was designed for worldwide research and development has metastasized into a wasteland for commercial gain and social gossip. Take a good look at how all of our electronic devices are bombarded by unwanted commercialism and constant scam attacks that corporate America has failed to protect and now our government has little interest in controlling.

My work is designed to bring greater understanding as to what has happened to our lifestyles since 2001 by also explaining how our government was democratically designed to serve all Americans, not just for the financial benefit of the wealthy. Yes, we do need to Make America Great Again!

The most important book to read at this time is the following revised second edition titled, Donald Trump’s Impeachment Problems. It revolves around the second half of President Trump’s first term, from January 2019 to January 2021. Everything that is happening today in his second term as our President was predictable based on what he got away with during his first term. Trump’s controversial Presidency has gotten out of control.

To fully understand why Donald Trump is so contentious, it is necessary to read and debate with others the issues that are dividing America in half, as well as creating global divisions. I have developed this research information over Trump’s entire time in office, with verifiable data that will allow the reader to judge Trump’s activities for themself. This website covers the conflicts that he is creating during his divided second term.


What people don't know about Trump's two impeachments.

Book II, 2nd Edition, now titled Donald Trump’s Impeachment Problems, delves into the Ukrainian conflict with Russia and how his contentious behavior led to his first Impeachment. Every American needs to understand why Trump’s demanding a Quid Pro Quo so adversely affected this democratic leaning country. His foreign policies favored dictatorial countries such as Russia, Turkey, China and North Korea. Read why his business interests played a huge part in his decisions.

Realize what Donald Trump is really like, as told by family members, friends, employees and business associates. This is very revealing information. See what truly motivates Donald Trump and understand his total disregard for the rule of law.

Read more about the conspiracy theories that were developed to negatively influence our thinking and judgments. Believing in opinions and social media gossip is misleading, but reading the actual investigative report findings will lead you to the truth about why he was impeached for a second time.


An Independent View of the Donald Trump Presidency

An Independent View of the Donald J. Trump Presidency is divided into two volumes. Book 1, which is subtitled Donald Trump’s Rise to Power in the GOP, explains how the Trump campaign realized that social media had the power to influence the thinking of the American people. Understand how deeply the Trump campaign became intertwined with Putin’s Russian government by reading the well-documented sections of the Robert Mueller Report. It defines Trump’s contentious behavior that MAGA believers love.

The mass deception of the American people all started with Russian operatives using today’s sophisticated communications technology to interfere with the presidential election in 2016. They began by trolling social media in order to compile information on American “likes and dislikes,” using it to develop and influence the beliefs and desires of selected Americans.

Learn how our elected representatives are using congressional oversight and investigative committees for political party and personal gain. Part I details how Hillary Clinton was treated by conservative media as opposed to how Donald Trump was treated by mainstream media. Which was the real Witch Hunt?


These are our three Branches of our Government.
Trump’s contentious behavior is destroying America’s System of Checks & Balances

Deliberately planted misinformation is why I developed a chronological accounting of how and why life today has radically changed in the last two decades – a full generation. My detailed research on An Independent View of the Donald J. Trump Presidency not only presents the documented history of Trump’s presidency, but also explains how our Federal Government is designed to function for our benefit.

The more you are open to learning, the more you will comprehend complex issues. The greater your understanding, the better you will be aware of when you are being deceived. Today we are living in a culture where we are constantly being subjected to misinformation, both deliberate and unintentional.

This deception originates from self-serving individuals and entities that want to control our government and increase their wealth and influence. Too many Americans still believe these distortions of the truth that are created on the internet and then spread over news outlets and social media. Our System of Checks and Balances is the lifeblood of democracy. Fortunately, this aspect of our government stopped the overthrow of our cherished democracy by individuals who were hell bent on creating an autocratic government that totally favored the wealthy and those in positions of power.



My Conversations with Trump Supporters

As with most everyone, I was as surprised when Hillary Clinton lost the election to Donald Trump. I was also surprised by the degree of jubilation that I found among the construction trade when I worked on different job sites. I found this to be true for many hard-working Americans. I quickly found that debating face-to-face with others is hopeless because emotions prevail.

Unfortunately, people don’t listen and comprehend what is being said. Their minds and mouths are only concentrating on their own viewpoints. This is what makes most political debates boring and useless. Therefore, I decided to engage my conservative friends and family in debating our political positions in email exchanges, which I present to the reader in both books.

I soon realized that so many of Trump’s ardent followers were misguided by the gossip they engaged in on social media. Consequently, they wholeheartedly believed the wild conspiracy theories that flooded the internet. The research I use in writing this book explains exactly how and why they believe what they hear to be true.

These MAGA correspondence chapters reveal the true feelings of our friends and family and should open our eyes as to how misinformation is destroying American society. Hopefully, this information will gradually influence people to grow together to do something that forces our elected officials to honestly perform their given responsibilities.
