The latest thoughts from former professor and attorney David Clements present an intricate narrative surrounding recent events tied to President Donald Trump. Clements paints a picture of a Republic under siege, where elections have been compromised and deceit flourishes, largely due to government-instigated propaganda. He asserts that the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2012 marked a pivotal moment, unleashing misleading narratives and sowing distrust among citizens.
