On a morning in March, a 30-year-old computer technician named Nathan was tapping at the keyboard in his Pittsburgh home when he had a breakthrough with his support group. He wasn’t in rehab. And this wasn’t exactly AA. Nathan told me that for years, he’s fought alcoholism and an addiction to crystal meth, without much success—until he discovered the online self-help network that changed his life, a Donald Trump-themed discussion forum on the website Reddit. It was there that, two months ago, after weeks of reading messages of self-improvement and positive visualization, Nathan declared he had been saved, pecking out a message of hope and encouragement to his group under the title: “Quitting Drugs Because of Trump."

“How Donald inspired me to be a great American once again” proclaims another. And many more: “Trump inspired me to change my life.” “Story of how Donald Trump changed my life around.” “Donald trumps campaign has changed me.” “Trump saved my life!” “Hey Brigadiers, stop wasting your time and learn what this is. Make Yourself Great Again!”
If only we could swear him in tomorrow!
He is an inspiration to many. Perhaps this guy’s story will be repeated and a movement will begin to inspire to rid their lives of drug or alcohol abuse.
Trump and his children are a testimony to clean living.
Maybe a bit dramatic, but I could understand how regular Americans would have reason to hold their heads higher under a prez who engenders respect.
Great article!! Unfortunately, the Washington Post did a lengthy piece on Don, Jr., Ivanka and Eric, where they took several shots at Don Jr’s drinking alcohol. They made it sound like he drank quite a bit as a young adult. Apparently, he has put that behind him now.
We were created to be great. Thanks Donald for reminding our country that we’ll be great again. If we believe in the one that created us.
Mr. Trump is having the same effect on Americans as Reagan did way back when. Maybe in a different way and for a different reason, but the positive vibes are unmistakable.
Exciting times we live in.
Many great and productive people in this country’s history have been an inspiration to millions of others through their commitment to achievement, excellence and dedication to their fields of endeavor, whatever they were. Although many never achieved fortune or fame, they nevertheless served as examples for us to follow. They set a high bar for themselves and those around them.
Society benefits greatly from such individual role models. We need more, not fewer, people of such character.

And in marked contrast to the aura of negativity surrounding Obama and its effect on the country for the past seven years.
This is one of the reasons why I think it’s important to consider the type of person who is President of the United States. In a way, they set the tone for the nation.
Someone who is generally optimistic, enthused, and positive about America’s greatness and our untapped potential helps bring the nation along to their way of thinking. (e.g. Reagan, Kennedy, Washington)
In contrast someone who by their attitudes diminishes America and its accomplishments, potential, and greatness becomes someone who depresses the nation. (e.g. Obama, Carter)
I think 8 years of Obama have taken so many citizens to a dark place that the appearance of Trump, who makes no apologies for the United States is that source of light that is very compelling.
“We were created to be great. Thanks Donald for reminding our country that we’ll be great again. If we believe in the one that created us.”
Bears repeating. Love it.
This is why it is so important for a nation to have real heroes to remember. From the September 11th first responders to military heroes, to the founding fathers, recognizing the best virtues among our citizens helps life the entire American population.
Our current trend of heaping praise on musicians, Hollywood stars, rappers, and Kardashians is not healthy to a country.
Yes, Make yourself great for you are the grandchildren and great-grandchildren of America’s Greatest Generation — it’s in your DNA to be great, so go do it.
Making yourself great again is central to making America great again.
I'm seeing this too. Trump is changing far more than politics. https://t.co/tIV3NCfS0J— Scott Adams (@ScottAdamsSays) May 20, 2016
I agree completely. There was a ripple effect in America after the Clinton Presidency because of his lack of respect for his office, and dishonor.

I always associated that the decline of America started with Bill Clinton who dragged the country’s goodness into the gutter.

I hope the pendulum is about to swing back.
How scandalous. Never heard of such a thing.
