Donald Trump is my favorite President, even more so than Ronald Reagan.
However, I think I’m moving on from him.
I like him in the role of a clarion-calling standard bearer, and his presidency was the best I have ever seen.
I don’t like him in terms of his failure to be a team player. I’m not even sure I like him as a kingmaker. Calling out numbers to make him look good, in a severely-disappointing election shows me he doesn’t care about the boots on the ground, but only how he looks.
Reagan faced the same Establishment hate and Media mocking, but he had a great way of playful rebuttal, with a twinkle in his eye and a little smile. America loved that. All the attacks mustered against him, failed, because he was able to gently turn it around on his attacker with a witty quip or a well thought out fact.
Reagan was also the author of the phrase, the 11th commandment, which was “Thou shall not attack a fellow Republican.”
Trump, on the other hand, has a serious ego problem. He cannot resist getting into a public verbal fight with anyone who criticizes him. While this was fresh and new in 2016, and propelled him into the presidency, it doesn’t work in 2022.
Also, the way Trump fights back is not nearly as good as Reagan’s style. Trump hasn’t got the charm of Reagan, and it’s beginning to hurt our side.
It is for these reasons that I must move on from Donald Trump. Sir, thank you for your incredibly wonderful service in 2016 through 2020. You made those years prosperous and sane. But it is time to move on.
I’m likely to get a ton of flak for this post. That’s okay, I can take it.
Indeed it was.
Now if he could only channel Dutch’s easy going attitude. ( can’t picture Trump on horseback after cutting trees)
Never heard of who you are referring to. The one and only real Turd is a guy. He loved this country and is frustrated like so many of us. Has a wicked sense of humor
And an deservedly so
Pfeh. Long couple of days, 4 hours sleep last night.
Well at least you bring up one thing that die-hard conservatives used to “require” - MIL service.
I don’t agree, but it was a point of contention used against Dem presidents and to some extent, W Bush. (That National Guard wasn’t good enough, etc.)
For Trump all their demands of candidates went down the toilet.
Also not being a rich privileged kid, and having one wife who doesn’t get cheated on.
Again, not that we have to have these requirements, but that was standard demand.
Well, he did go to a military high school for bad boys. 😹😱😜👨✈️
At least you could think of something besides “amnesty”.
Usually that’s all ya got.
Like Jan 6.
I’m impressed by the quality of the people agreeing with Laz.
All solid conservatives. All loyal Americans.
thank you!
I am hoping and praying that Trump will hold that “impertinent and impulsive tongue” on Saturday , the wedding day of beautiful Tiffany, his youngest daughter.
I hope he will not be the turd in the punch bowl at that elegant affair.
McConnell and the RNC failed us once again — twisting that dagger in Trump’s back even further.
The deflated Red Wave had nothing to do with Trump. We suffered for the lackluster turnout the GOP machinery failed to mitigate.
Sad to see so many here capitulating to the Rats’ relentless campaign against the one individual that moved mountains on our behalf. With FRiends like that...
I knew that but, I’m not throwing the towel in on Trump.
Everyone’s mileage differs.
LOL!
Have you seen the DeSantis ad before the “net” has taken the narration out of it....its hard to find now for some reason..

I love the CatTurd.
We have had some fairly major House failures to deal with.
Both of us were asleep last night at about this time.
Everything is now okay.
Hope that you and yours are okay!
Agreed...
Pity party or what.
Who knows what is around the corner...
ChiComs or Norks’ maybe the Homo Hating Ruskies could nuke US to Sodom and Gomorrah land.

Fauxi with ‘New and Improved’
Black Plauge.

They impeached Trump...
