'Seven Days in July': Trump is Correct about the 'Coup'

Back in 1964 a truly disturbing movie was released starring Burt Lancaster, Kirk Douglas, and Ava Gardner.  It was titled “Seven Days in May” and was based upon the 1962 novel by the same name.

The basic plot of the film being a shadowy powerful cabal within the U.S. Government working behind the scenes to stage a coup d’état in a seven-day period to oust the sitting president from power and install a new leader.  For sixty years that chilling plot remained fiction.  Then, came the week of July 21, 2024.

On July 21st, President Joe Biden let the nation know that he had suddenly decided not to run for reelection.  How suddenly?  Well, just that morning, we had this headline from Fox News: “Biden repeatedly affirms commitment to 2024 campaign despite Democrats' calls to step aside.”

For days up until July 21st, we heard from Biden aides, campaign staff, and especially the President himself that he was “absolutely” in the race to stay and that “he’s not going anywhere.”  Their answers were wrapped in ironclad certitude.

Just the Friday before Biden instantly folded his tent, Vice President Kamala Harris had this to say to some ultra-wealthy donors: “We are going to win this election.  We know which candidate in this election puts the American people first: our president, Joe Biden.”

Minutes after she made that statement, reports indicate that Harris abruptly ended the call.  Now, a cynic might conclude that Harris already knew that Biden was about to be forced out of the race to be replaced by…her.  Suspicious minds – as well as those with normal curiosity and commonsense -- certainly might wonder if Harris was part of the seemingly secret back-channel discussions – and outright threats – directed at Biden by the likes of Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama, and Chuck Schumer?  As was reported, Biden seems to hold Pelosi most responsible and views her “as ruthless for ushering him out the door.”

But if Pelosi is “ruthless,” what does that make Harris?  More importantly, what did she know, when did she know it, and how directly involved was she in the purge of a President of the United States?

Three days after Biden did a one-eighty and shockingly exited the election, former President Donald J. Trump said in part to Fox News: "I think it was a coup. They didn't want him running…I know a lot of people on the other side…and they forced him out between Pelosi and Obama and some others.”

President Trump is absolutely correct.  It was a “coup.”  For the first time in the modern party primary era, a candidate was installed in that position without winning primaries.  Without winning one vote.

And what is amazing is that basically nobody seems to care.  Nobody.  The media, academia, and presidential “historians” have ignored it out of blind unethical allegiance to the Democratic Party and Harris; many Republican politicians seem to be simply shrugging their shoulders; and world “leaders” are looking the other way.

Again, for the first time in American history, a presidential candidate for one of the two major Parties was installed into the position by shadowy powerbrokers behind the scenes purposefully ignoring the will of the people.  What does our Constitution mean anymore?  What value is there in our Founding documents?  What has the United States of America become?

As this is taking place before our very eyes, we have another mini coup being rolled out.  This one -- led by the liberal mainstream media but in conjunction with the Harris campaign -- being an orchestrated campaign to simply make the Biden-Harris administration disappear. Gone.

Now, when you listen to the Obamas at the Democratic National Convention or the multitude of liberal pundits saying, “we can’t have four more years of this,” while they are in-fact unintentionally implicating Harris and Biden for the destruction brought to our nation by this current administration, they would magically have you believe that somehowTrump was president for the last three and one-half years and the Harris-Biden administration never existed. Amazing. 

In 2016, then candidate Trump pulled off the single greatest miracle in the history of politics.  He won the presidency basically on his own.  Now, in 2024, he will perform his second political miracle when he defeats the Democrats, Harris, the Deep State, and what I call the five major megaphones of our nation.  Those being the media, academia, science, medicine, and entertainment.  All now controlled by the far-left.

Pray that Trump does pull off this second miracle – as I believe he will.  For if he does not, the cabal which controls Harris and the Democratic Party will eliminate the United States of America.  Everything you hold dear – most especially your freedom – is on the line.
