Here’s one of the most striking things not said about Trump’s press conference.

In 4 years, Biden did not do even one of these and the media sat silent protecting him.

I’ll repeat myself…

There is a basic reality in terms of the Presidential candidacy, and the Executive himself.

Over the years, The Presidency went from a job where the nation wanted a guy who had ideas and leadership qualities, to sort of like the slot for lead singer in Van Halen.

You can have a killer frontman like David Lee Roth, who excites and slays live and propels the band creatively, but who is a trainwreck in terms of everything else.

You can get Sammy Hagar, who is ultra competent but not terribly motivating and not your primary pick for frontman.

Then there is Gary Cherone, who is great in Extreme but lost in VH and, today, nobody can name ONE thing Cherone did in VH.

Trump is Diamond Dave.

In 2024, America wasn’t voting for competency. We are voting for the Frontman of America. And maybe that’s ok - maybe we NEED a Frontman more than a vocalist right now.

In this contest, the nation and populism and normal people wanted Diamond Dave. And Dave is unifying people like nobody-look at the rappers with Trump in The Bronx and the minority vote he got. It’s stunning.

But we need to be honest with ourselves. Trump is a train wreck in terms of personnel choices, and he can get carried away with social media. That is the cost of solid SCOTUS picks and abortion overturned, a cranking economy, and no wars.

Trump won the Diamond Dave vote, which was drawn to a guy who took a bullet and unifies people. Harris got the increasingly shrinking Gary Cherone vote

Ultimately, regardless of who gets into the WH, never forget….the American People are Eddie, Michael, and Alex-a monster band that is invariant to the guy in the singer slot. WE run the nation.

I watched the entire press conference. Brilliant performance by Trump. If this is “chaos,” then let’s have a lot more of it. Please bring it on!

The only qualm I might have is: why is Trump still doing these traditional MSM hostile press conferences?

The only chaos in the US right now is the fires in Cali and is self inflicted by LA/Cali.

The UK government is in chaos right now, also self inflicted.

They need to step back and do some deep breathing...

“”There was a vow to rename the Gulf of Mexico, by presidential decree, to the “Gulf of America.” “

presidential decree??????

LIES! Trump said it would require legislation and MTG is already preparing to introduce a bill in Congress to do just that!

What is this Moron talking about? Maybe he should listen to Benny Johnson at the Benny Show podcast on YouTube.

The ENTIRE Trump press conference (LIVE) and right after that an interview with MTG about her bill to rename the G of M to the G of A.

I saw it LIVE. I didn’t need to wait for the legacy lying media NYT to learn the TRUTH.

WHO NEEDS THEM? Answer: NOBODY.

Greenland has 57,000 residents. They have had home rule since 1979. Trump is a master of the art of the deal. He could offer a very sweet deal, financial and otherwise, to the 57,000 residents of Greenland in return for their voting to become a US territory or state.

In case some people haven’t noticed, none of the discredited media hosts are attacking Trump’s cabinet appointments anymore, are they?

They all laughed when Trump announced he wanted
Greenland for a US state!
They all laughed, but Greenland thought the plan was great!
