Senior Republican Official, Fred Malek “The Thug”  Reprimands Trump for Not Being Cordial or Inclusive!

I have witnessed absurdity repeated several fold in many types of political contests. However, Fred Malek, a true Republican “thug” whom I knew about in the Nixon and other Republican Administrations proves the axiom that “he who excuses himself, accuses himself”.

Malek, the son of a beer truck driver, has always prided himself on ‘efficiency’, ‘trustworthiness’ and ‘machismo’. He was trained at West Point and went on to become a ‘successful business man’. 

Of course, his success lay in political cronyism, typical of Mitt Romney and others who could never create a start-up company and instead acquired hotel properties which were a testimony to his loyalty to the Marriott family. Presently, he is considered a ‘kingmaker’ in the Republican Party, having served Bush Sr, Bush Jr, and John McCain.

Yet, his real background is replete with anti-Semitism, crony capitalism, and absolute fiction. Like many mainstream Republicans whose narratives belie a core value of decency and entrepreneurship, Malek has spent his life trying to elevate himself from a Croatian thug to an outstanding American philanthropist.In my eyes and in that of many others who know his reputation for self-aggrandizement, minus intellectual forte, Malek is nothing but a hired-gun for the Republican establishment, writ large in the personae of the phlegmatic Paul Ryan and the Vietnam War traitor, John McCain.

In his reprimand of Trump for his so-called ‘obnoxious behavior’ [Wash.Post, May 31]  Malek  congratulates himself and Manafort [his deputy at the time] for having been responsible for erasing the fifteen point lead that Michael Dukakis had over Bush Sr. in the 1988 Presidential Race.

Nonsense!
If anyone was responsible for that amazing coup de grace it was James Baker and Roger Ailes. Malek did not have the intellectual gravitas to develop the proper strategy. Nevertheless, Malek serves time and time again as the ‘enforcer’ for the cowardly mainstream Republican Party. The GOP that has done nothing for the American citizenry.

It is the will of those of us who have supported Trump from the very beginning that he,Trump, acts and responds according to his own highly developed instincts. The American people, be they right or wrong,wants someone who will challenge the status quo and ways of the mainstream Republicans. 

Malek is neither a policy maven nor effective implementer. He has all the attributes of an egregious, self-serving ‘hit man,’ who has neither the talent nor ability to create out-of-the-box initiatives. He is primarily an illiterate, unintelligible thug who is told what he must do and implements it accordingly—often, very poorly.

Malek is the ‘enforcer’ for those who are too afraid to confront Trump on his own terms.These are the same people [McCain, Graham, Romney] who gave us the endless wars; as well as, the endless defeats marked by the relentless suicides of our brave warriors deployed five times to Iraq/Afghanistan and elsewhere.

Malek is the face, mouth, and proboscis of the dying elephant. Malek is the Jimmy Hoffa of a malignant union called the Republican Party that cannot and will not unite around Trump, nor ever be able to bring prosperity to our citizens.

Good riddance, Malek!
Good riddance, Republican Party!
