Donald Trump is a Political and Cultural Phenomenon
Canada Free Press ^ | 01/05/16 | Selwyn Duke

Trump is taking out the trash. And the more it tries to burn him, the more people will want to see it burn.

Perhaps it’s not surprising that Time magazine named Angela Merkel its “Person of the Year.” With her flooding of Europe with Muslim migrants, the German chancellor may, after all, go down in history as a primary destroyer of Western civilization. Yet there’s no question in my mind who is Man of the Year: Donald Trump.

After underestimating the businessman early on, some are starting to understand Trump’s ascendancy and staying power. Yet, even now, few truly appreciate what Trump represents: a political and cultural phenomenon heretofore unseen in America. His rise is historic, amounting to something even more astounding than the Reagan Revolution. This is true, and will be true, whether he ultimately wins or loses, whether you love him or hate him, or whether it turns out he’s driven by principle or personal ambition.

There was a moment early on where Trump refused to apologize for some non-PC statement.

The press tried to pull the same thing on Huckabee and he said, “NO! I’m not apologizing.”

Trump has helped the American man re-attach his balls. And he’s just getting started.

It is a surgical procedure long overdue!

Absolutely correct. Trump is taking out the trash.
I do not care what his motivation is. Let the shrinks figure that out.
I do not care what his politics are. I care, deeply, that he is doing what must be done if we are to save our culture.
He is damning the damnable and praising the praiseworthy.
Trump is energizing Americanism, not the style popularized by phoney baloney leftists who want to give everything away. He is calling, loudly and clearly, for the protection and the growth of the people and principles that have made America Great in the past and will make her great again.
That is enough for me.

Trump has defined what is important, laid out solutions that put America first, dominated public opinion, totally controlled the news cycle....and has done it almost for free and has done so in a way that everyone can understand.

Yeah, we could use a guy like that running the USA!!

Trump fights political correctness by being totally politically incorrect at every opportunity.

This is put down as being brash, loud mouthed, and every other adjective the anti-Trump can make up. But it is working well isn’t it.

You can turn this (exagerated):

“ “Myra Belle “Sally” Miller — the 195”8 Miss Arkans”as who said in 19”92 that she had ”had an affair with Clin”ton in 1983. ”She claimed” that she” had been ”warned no”t to go public by a Demo”cratic” Party official: “They knew that I went jogg”ing by myself and he couldn’t guar”antee what would happen to my pr”etty little legs.” “

Into this:

"Myra Belle "Sally" Miller -- the 1958 Miss Arkansas who said in 1992 that she had had an affair with Clinton in 1983. She claimed that she had been warned not to go public by a Democratic Party official: "They knew that I went jogging by myself and he couldn't guarantee what would happen to my pretty little legs."

Real easy here:

Replace smart quotes with regular straight quotes

Donald Trump is a Political and Cultural Phenomenon

Trump is a battering ram that has breached the walls of political correctness and political status quo. The result of surprise, disbelief and total confusion in the enemy's camp would be a military tactician's dream come true. Now, let's hope the troops collect their senses, coalesce and join the battle to victory........
