President Trump released the official 2020 Christmas photo and it certainly is a Christmas Cracker of an image.

On face value, it is a superb image of the President and First Lady, but, if you dig a little deeper, it tells quite a story.

Melania is wearing a tuxedo and looking as beautiful and elegant as ever. Above them hangs a portrait of President Harry Truman.. 

President Truman was the 33rd president of the United States from 1945 to 1953, succeeding upon the death of Franklin D. Roosevelt after serving as the 34th vice president. From 1919 to 1921, Truman co owned a haberdashery in Missouri where, among other things,  they sold tuxedos. Truman and his business partner Eddie Jacobson closed their business but they remained friends.

In fact, the Jewish Eddie Jacobson had a huge impact on Truman with regard to the establishment of a Jewish homeland in Palestine as a refuge for survivors of the Nazi Holocaust in Europe. During a meeting at the White House on March 13, 1948, Jacobson persuaded Truman to meet with Dr. Chaim Weizmann, the leader of the Zionist movement at the time. Just about two months later, the United States became the first nation to recognize the newly formed state of Israel diplomatically. source.

Trump has similarly been a staunch friend to Israel , moving the US Embassy to Jerusalem and brokering peace with Arab Nations. 

Truman had a long standing passion for a well tailored suit. His tuxedo is on display  

Fast forward to 1948. The election that year was notable in that the press incorrectly announced that the winner was Thomas Dewey.  Because the polls had Dewey out in front, The Chicago Daily Tribune rolled the press on the advice of veteran Washington correspondent and political analyst, Arthur Sears Henning.

Truman, as it turned out, won the electoral vote with a 303–189–39 majority over Dewey and days later, Truman famously held up a copy of the headlined newspaper and gleefully made a mockery of the press.

President Harry S. Truman signed an executive order in 1947 to screen federal employees for association with organizations deemed "totalitarian, fascist, communist, or subversive", or advocating "to alter the form of Government of the United States by unconstitutional means."

President Trump has his executive order in the wings that was passed in September 2018. It outlines penalties for foreign interference in American elections. 

President Trump does not appear to hold the CIA in high regard either.

Only this month, with rumors that the CIA may very well have helped in the election fraud, reports claim Acting Defense Secretary Chris Miller sent a letter to the (former) CIA Director Gina Haspel .... And in that letter Miller informed the embattled agency that the Department of Defense would be reviewing its military support of the clandestine agency. source.

The recent SolarWinds hack  has been compared to one of the most infamous events in American history from nearly 80 years ago.

"The situation is developing, but the more I learn this could be our modern day, cyber equivalent of Pearl Harbor," Representative Jason Crow wrote on twitter on Friday.

"Our nation is under assault. This cyberattack could be the largest in our history. We don't yet know the extent of the damage, but we know that we weren't prepared & have our work cut out for us." 

It was Harry Truman who authorised the bombing of Nagasaki and Hiroshima to end the war that, for America, began that day at Pearl Harbor. America was not prepared and they had their work cut out for them.

What metaphorical bomb does Trump intend using to end this farcical and dangerous election fraud? Will he invoke his Executive Order? Will it be The Insurrection Act? Or will it simply be that the truth is the bomb and people power will overcome the injustice? The lawsuits have exposed the fraud. But if the courts won't act, maybe the Military is the only way?

Make no mistake - America is at war. With the Deep State, The Swamp and the Communist Party of China. People keep saying that 2024 can see a Trump fightback. That is idiocy. If this is not sorted now, there will never be another honest election in America - or for that matter anywhere - ever again. 

Truman made tough decisions during a time when American Liberty was being threatened. Is Trump letting us know that he is prepared to make tough decisions now that American Liberty is under threat again?

Using the Military should not be seen as an imposition on the American People, but rather the means with which to protect them.

Regardless of what the weapon of choice is, I suspect that this rather ordinary, superficially innocent photo speaks 1000 words.  And each and every one of them should echo around the world today. Trump is not prepared to abandon his people, his country or his responsibilities to a group of liars, cheats, thugs and cowards.

And neither should we. Trump knows what is at stake and what must happen. As Harry Truman once said:
