Why did we back Trump.
I did because he was an outsider who had some top level
CEO management skills. He had been in the top level of the
private sector, and knew the business and economic systems
from that vantage point. He was also hawking views that I
hadn’t seen any other candidates hawking. He talked about
the swamp.
Him being an outsider, how was he supposed to know the value
of each and every player in Washington, D. C.?
I can’t believe he got so many right, if you get right down
to it.
Do you realize they were spying on him in the White House?
Not only were that list of entities and agencies acting
against him, they were breaking federal law to do it, and
the Attorney General refused to take anyone to task over
it.
The FBI presented the request to the FISA Court to get
wire tap authority with what we all know was fraudulent
information. Nothing was done about it.
I think we forget how besieged Trump really was. The sad
thing is, with everyone out there against him, even folks
that should be in his corner still nit pick about things
that happened under him, that can easily be explained.
Trump had no reasoned way to avoid some pitfalls. We
know that but still carp about his personality or something
else instead of just admit, we were lousy supporters in
the end.
All he did for us was an amazing feat, but here were are
talking about personality and him laying prostrate before
us admitting some sort of guilt.
It should embarrass us to see what we are doing.
We can debate back and forth all day, but just for comparison I see you harping on how on DeSantis is not ready because he lacks this skill or that, yet one could also argue Trump was not prepared just based on what you just stated. He had no idea what he was stepping into.
Did they spy on Trump? Of course, did they spy on Nixon, Kennedy, Reagan, etc. Of course they did. I believe JFK lost his life for rocking the boat.
Trump rocked the boat, sure they came hard at him. They came hard at JFK. I love Trump for his rocking of the boat. Trump has the guts to speak the hard truth to power. And maybe its just me, but one thing I’d like to see more often is more of the “the buck stops here” and less blame-shifting. The wisest man I knew (my dad btw :)) taught me that a true leader accepts full blame when things go badly and shares all credit with friends when things go well.
I hope you realize I think Trump is our best choice but my criticism is not intended to bash him, but to offer ‘possibly’ unpopular opinion. I think Trump is our best bet now but I also do not want to see him get bogged down so bad this time and I sincerely believe they are out to get him yet I also believe he sometimes was his own worst enemy.
