It was long past midnight in Livingston, Montana, when Donald Trump finally stood up to address the nation as President-elect of the United States, having won the landslide victory that had eluded him in his successful run in 2016 and again in his re-election bid in 2020. This time, the American people had overwhelmingly voted for change. They had voted overwhelmingly for Trump.
As a patriotic American, and as a working journalist who believes in the sanctity of that role, I should note here that the only vote I’ve ever cast in a presidential election was for Willie Nelson, the country and western star and a symbol of reconciliation between rednecks and hippies. Still, I was eager to hear what Trump would say. To be more accurate, given my level of inebriation in sub-freezing Montana weather, with snow-globe snow gently falling outside the windows of a local bar, I was eager to mix the some whiskey with the tonalities of America’s greatest living bullshit artist and teller of tall tales. Trump’s voice is a powerful source of connection to the American literary and comic tradition, going back to the Rat Pack and to Mark Twain. I was ready to hear his magnificent instrument resonate with the promise of a better future, a future filled with laughter — and joy, even.
At 3am, West Palm Beach time, Trump’s large family stood with him onstage looking chipper and attractive. They were joined there by the celebrity validators that made Trump’s third run for the White House seem less angry and more inclusive than his prior one-man shows.

obama had a legacy>?
That's as far as I got.
The halfrican should go back to Kenya where he belongs.
Obama is so yesterday and nobody wants to be yesterday. And with their egos, it’s killing them. And Clinton and Bushies, and Romneys, and fat Christie, and never trumpers....goodness gracious, it’s like the 2nd coming. Judgement , when everything gets flipped.
I’m still in awe and still full of joy watching this justice take place.
LOL, yup.
Dorkbama, the Muslim eunoch’s legacy is best described by the word that best describes how to remove it: flushing.
Me too. I’ve been on cloud 9 since election day. My entire mood has changed.
Nothing like justice. There was so much at stake.
He (as he has often said/implied) was just "in the way" or in this case, the vehicle, by which we exercised our power.

Yes, Obama’s legacy was the destruction of all western cultural constructs and injecting marxist activism into every aspect of existence.
Yeah, the next 2 months are going to just get better and better. Watching Trump go to work and the inauguration. Normally the new year can be a let down......not this year. Holidays and then inauguration...and then more and more winning. Loving it! :)
Well, I'm still concerned that doofus Casey could steal the PA Senate from McCormick with help from shyster Marc Elias
Unfortunately, the first part of the article is about Trump & the comments really put people off. It’s worth wading through or skipping down to where the author starts talking about Obama ... from that point on IMO, his observations & comments are on point & excellent.
Very good. Actual thought and writing. How did you find it?
Thank you for posting this.
Ubama sold his legacy to an incompetent moron nobody who blew ONE BILLION DOLLARS in a hundred days. He’d (and Michelle) seriously miscalculated their importance in supporting her.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, every time I see “halfrican” written here I immediately think half-Rican as in Puerto Rican.
Trump had been subjected to a whole-of-society assault by the American elite that would have killed most men 20 years younger, including those who don’t eat cheeseburgers most days for lunch.
I hope he crushed it.
“...waving their hands at the cameras like they were calling for smelling salts.”
LOL
