[There is] an inadequately appreciated reason for Trump's appeal:

• His defects and mistakes do not negate his virtues and good record as President.

• In a tough spot due to the election stealing in 2020 and grossly unfair indictments and lawsuits against him, Trump is showing strength and courage in adversity by running for reelection.

• More than that, Trump is demonstrating a resilience of spirit that Americans traditionally called * * GRIT * * and saw as a dimension of character and a mark of true leadership.

* * * *

Very well said, Rockingham. Merry Christmas to you and to all FReepers.

You mentioned the word "grit" and I dug up the speech President Trump gave at the 2017 commencement at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy.

This 6-minute core of his speech talks a lot about American success and grit and his immortal words are highlighted with world-class production values in video clips and inspirational music fit to President Trump's remarks.

It's one for the history books and it deserves to be seen again in prep for 2024, a year where an existential threat to America exists and we need the fortitude of heart and grit to win a big one for We The People and our Constitutional republic.

Thank you for the video. Trump is well-served by showing himself as a happy warrior, rallying and inspiring his troops and the country.

Christmas Greetings to Freepers, all. Thank you, POTUS Trump
for the opportunity to say so once again.

Beating a dead horse does not make him run any faster.

Longing for springtime and the end results of this election
cycle.
