A Letter to My Fellow Repubs about Trump’s Grazed Ear

by Mary W Maxwell (sourced substack)

A YouTube video which expresses doubt about last year’s near-miss assassination of Trump has had 3,000 comments so far, and it’s only been posted for 21 hours! It’s written by newsman Chris Cillizza, with the title: “My 3 BIG unanswered questions about the Trump assassination attempt.”

I am not here to push the idea that the episode in Butler PA was faked. I am sure it was faked. I am here to chat with Republicans as to what our in-Party response should be. Two days ago, on July 14, 2025, I posted an article on Substack.com about the urgent need for the nation to understand what it means for people to call their leaders to account. Please read that article. It is entitled “When Is a President Not a President?”

I love being a Republican. Admittedly that’s because I practically adore the Constitution. But I don’t love Party-ism. It calls upon “unquestioning loyalty and obedience.” This is not forced during social events but it’s forced — outrageously — in Congress. Both of the two big Parties do what their leader tells them to do. You can see this in the fact that recent votes on the House floor have often come up 213-215. This should not happen. Do you agree?

Someone has carefully imposed a Westminster system in the US, imitating the UK. But that is not supported by our Constitution and needs to be gotten rid of. I can remember when we didn’t have it. I can even remember when we citizens admired this-or-that Congressperson on the basis of his/her talent, or character (!), without the slightest care as to whether “R” or “D” appeared after the name. (Raise hands if you remember that.)

Now to repeat the question: If the Butler PA affair becomes totally debunked, what do you want to do? Trump has been president for 6 months with another 3 and a half years to go. Is it correct for you (and me) say “The ear job was a fairly small matter; Trump does good in other ways, so just forget it. Let him continue in office.”

Or should you hold him accountable? Or should you hold accountable the various Republican leaders who must have known about the whole event before it happened or soon after. Do you think it is correct for them to have said nothing? (DT was not yet president on the day of the bullet. It occurred shortly before the RNC Convention in Milwaukee.)

What of the fact that the truth will apparently come out now? Doesn’t that make our Party blush? Do you enjoy blushing?

Personally, I refuse to blush or to keep silent about the fact that Butler was a psy-op. We have seen a disgusting number of psy-ops. There was the Sandy Hook thing – oh, happily it was directed by Obama so I am not being a disloyal “R” by mentioning it. I have published a book about that 2012 event under the title “The Human Mind and Sandy Hook’s Unreality.”

Yes, we do have to consider the workings of the human mind. Please consider this one aspect of it – the fact that a questioner is seen as being bad. As soon as our government (yes the US, the red-white-and-blue one) makes any claim about a questionable fact, the person who says “Nonsense” is naughty. They may well find their friends, or even their family, avoiding them “like the plague.” There have probably been some divorces of persons who say 9-11 was an Inside Job.

By the way, in 2006 I ran for Congress in New Hampshire’s Republican primary, using the slogan “9-11 was an inside job.” I hardly copped any flak for it! See what a difference 19 year makes! Today the rule is “Close ranks, close ranks.”

Now that we are in an office culture that says “Close ranks,” ask How did that come about? Somebody-up-there who directs our culture in many ways, with an eye to weakening us, would have been taught the simple math of “Use divide-and-rule to conquer.” In many countries this means dividing by religion or ethnicity. How stupidly people go along with it and thus are unable to unite on national issues — even in crisis.

By the way, with no meanness intended to Chris Cizzilla, I think he could have been instructed to come out with his Butler thing right now, to make trouble for Trump. It is also possible that the Pam Bondi thing was made to happen to decrease Trump’s popularity in the MAGA camp. What!

If that is so, it strongly suggests that The Powers That Be — powers higher than any R’s and D’s — have scheduled Trump’s overthrow. Why? Maybe to advance Vance. His wife, Usha, is the daughter of a very high personage in UK royal circles. In my best guess, the UK is the headquarters of globalism. And the sun never sets on globalism.

So here’s an idea: We Republicans can ask Trump to stand down. His resignation (recall: Nixon resigned) would not cause as much disgrace as an impeachment decided on the “misdemeanor” of faking an assassination attempt. Geez.

Note: In Trump’s first term, two Impeachments were concluded against him. (But subsequently the Senate failed to convict). In my opinion, both were strictly “lawfare.” It was childish. One was about “the Russian interference” and the other was about “the Jan 6 insurrection” – itself a psy-op par excellence.

That’s all for now. We don’t need to let outsiders wreck what we have always had. We can grab it back, and strut our stuff about real patriotism and the real Constitution. Yay!
