Over the weekend I asked whether Donald Trump had risen to the level of Grey Champion. A few days later Trump takes to Twitter and puts a big line item in his resume.
There have been signs of change coming since Trump rightly refused to go to war with Iran over their shooting down an unmanned U.S. drone.
Starting with a major shake up of his cabinet by firing National Security Director John Bolton to his tepid response to the Houthi attack on the Saudi Aramco Abqaiq facility, Trump has sought to defuse a situation that had flown way to close to the sun and threatened to burn millions.
These five tweets taken in context of the past few days, however, blow the lid off a number of narratives as well as ongoing operations.

The primary source of division in the United States of America is corporate big media, not Donald Trump. Now openly partisan, big media has been dividing Americans for political gain long before he ever came on the political scene.
Here are four of the worst, most cited lies big media manufactured and critics have used to support the allegation Donald Trump is a racist.
On June 16, 2015, big media began spreading the lie Donald Trump called Mexicans rapists, even that he called all Mexicans rapists. It became and remains one of the most frequently used examples to support accusations of racism.
He said no such thing. Here is the video and entire relevant transcript.
The U.S. has become a dumping ground for everyone else’s problems. It’s true. And these aren’t the best and the finest.
When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you [pointing]. They’re not sending you [pointing].
They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists and, some, I assume are good people. But I speak to border guards and they tell us what we’re getting.
And it only makes common sense. It only makes common sense. They’re sending us not the right people. It’s coming from more than Mexico. It’s coming from all over South and Latin America and, it’s coming probably, from the Middle East. But we don’t know because we have no protection.

Crass and lacking tact? Absolutely.
But Donald Trump did not say Mexicans are rapists, let alone that all Mexicans are rapists. It is no more true than the reports claiming he called for the creation of a national database for Muslims.
Jussie Smollett — who staged being the victim of a hate crime at the hands of the president’s supporters in Chicago — fully believed Donald Trump called for a national database to serve as a Muslim registry. He is by no means alone in that belief.
He did no such thing. In November 2015, then-candidate Donald Trump was interviewed by Hunter Walker at Yahoo! News. The exchange followed:
Hunter Walker (Yahoo! News): Do you think we need to register Muslims in some type of database or note their religion on their I.D.?
Donald Trump: Well, we’re going to have to look at a lot of things very closely. We’re going to have to look at the mosques. We’re going to have to look very, very carefully.

When it was first reported by Yahoo! News, Mr. Walker reported he wouldn’t rule out a Muslim registry. CNN later reported “Donald Trump on Thursday called for the creation of a national database” in a story published online under the headline, Trump Wants Muslim Database.
Donald Trump’s Inaugural Address on January 20, 2017, was a clarion call for conservative populism. He put the status quo powers on notice and told the American people they would never be forgotten again.
Here is the entire address and a transcript of “a few of the most memorable lines” from the address.

Victor Davis Hanson offers historical perspective on political outsider President Trump's election and policy wins.

The Trump administration’s often overlooked list of achievements has surpassed those of former President Reagan at this time and more than doubled since the last tally of accomplishments after his first year in office, giving President Trump a solid platform to run for reelection on.
As Trump nears the two-year mark of his historic election and conducts political rallies around the country during which he talks up his wins in hopes it will energize Republican voters, the administration has counted up 289 accomplishments in 18 categories, capped by the confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.
They include 173 major wins like adding more than 4 million jobs and another 116 smaller victories, some with outsized importance such as the 83 percent one-year increase in arrests of MS-13 gang members.
“Trump’s successes in reducing the cost of taxes and regulations, rebuilding our military, avoiding wars of choice and changing the courts rival those of all previous Republican presidents,” said Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform.
“Trump has an advantage over Ronald Reagan: he has a Reagan Republican House and Senate while Reagan had a [Democratic Speaker] Tip O’Neill House and a pre-Reagan Republican Senate. Reagan and [former GOP Speaker] Newt Gingrich were the ice breakers that allowed Trump’s victories to grow in number and significance,” he added.
Unlike the Year One list which included many proposals and orders still to be acted on, the new collection includes dozens of actions already in place, signed legislation and enforced executive orders.
For example, while the Year One list bragged about the administration’s efforts to rewrite the much-maligned NAFTA trade deal with Canada and Mexico, the Year Two list said, “Negotiated an historic U.S.-Mexico-Canada Trade Agreement to replace NAFTA.”
One Universal truth is "Life Always Seek Balance." When things become too far out of whack you can bet the universe will push back towards a more balanced state. This talk by Lee Carroll provides an Interesting perspective on the phenomenon of Donald Trump being miraculously elected President. This is a message about who Donald Trump really is and the part he is playing in reforming our world.
