For years I’ve suspected that Donald J. Trump was convinced or blackmailed to run for President at his Moscow Miss Universe Pageant in 2013. He’d been flirting with running for president since the late 1980’s and he finally pulled the trigger in June of 2015 when he announced he would run for President to essentially stop the raping, murdering, drug dealing brown skinned Barbarians who were infiltrating our southern border with Mexico and that as President he would build a great wall (like China, I guess) to keep the hordes of invaders out. I suspected at the time, that Trump, needing issue to run on, chose illegal immigration despite illegal border crossings were at a forty year low of 300k and only 19% of the all time Turn of the Century high of 1.6mil in 2000, but it turns out the issue was decided by then advisers Roger Stone and Sam Nunberg and the wall was dreamed up to keep the ADHD wandering mind of Donald Trump on the immigration message.
Fast forward to January 16th, 2019 and the Wall Street Journal’s article Titled, Cohen Hired IT Firm to Rig Early CNBC, Drudge Polls to Favor Trump www.wsj.com/...
In January 2014, Mr. Cohen asked Mr. Gauger to help Mr. Trump score well in a CNBC online poll to identify the country’s top business leaders by writing a computer script to repeatedly vote for him. Mr. Gauger was unable to get Mr. Trump into the top 100 candidates. In February 2015, as Mr. Trump prepared to enter the presidential race, Mr. Cohen asked him to do the same for a Drudge Report poll of potential Republican candidates, Mr. Gauger said. Mr. Trump ranked fifth, with about 24,000 votes, or 5% of the total.
Mr. Gauger owns RedFinch Solutions LLC and is chief information officer at Liberty University in Virginia, where Jerry Falwell Jr., an evangelical leader and fervent Trump supporter, is president. It seems Trumps fixer, Michael Cohen was tasked with getting favorable results in two polls, one a CNBC poll on top business leaders and a second poll from Drudge Report on potential Republican Presidential candidates. To do this Cohen ostensibly paid John Gauger, who owns RedFinch Solutions LLC and is chief information officer at Liberty University in Virginia, where Jerry Falwell Jr., an evangelical leader and fervent Trump supporter, is president, either the sum of twelve-thirteen thousand dollars cash in a blue Walmart bag or a fifty thousand dollar check to effect the desired poll results.
What draws my attention to these polls is the dates of the requested, poll rigging. January 2014 is 18 months ahead of June 2015, when Trump actually announced his run, but it’s only 2 months after his November 2013, Miss Universe Pageant. And Feb 2015 if five full months before his announcement. To me that indicates something happened at the Miss Universe contest to convince ‘The Donald’ to get ready to run in 2016, as I always suspected.
