The Trump Presidency: A New Wagon Train?

Silent movie classic The Covered Wagon shows the gentle side of men as protectors and lovers of women and male energy let loose on entering and conquering a new frontier.

How much of these qualities are present in President Trump?

He breaks through bullshit.

But his weaknesses are huge.

How will history view his presidency?

“ How will history view his presidency?”

That all depends on who wins and gets to write the history books. Yesterday at the Daytona 500 he truly made liberals heads explode when he gave the invocation and prayed in Jesus name. It was spectacular. ~200k people chanting “four more years”.

He’s been under vicious attack since he declared his candidacy - no other President has ever had to deal with that, and few could withstand it the way he has.

His ‘weaknesses are huge’? He’s still there and in great position for another term.

What you see as weaknesses are the true marks of strength. Now Bloomberg is a man with many weaknesses. His only strength is his wealth. Remember those who hate President Trump now, used to love him when he was perceived to be on their side.

The Indonesian spelling of democracy. Indonesia is democratising while The West is turning into nanny states which trash the rights of men, especially white ones.

It certainly WAS.

03NOV2020 is coming soon. - It happens to be my 74th BD & what I’m getting as a present is another FOUR YEARS of DJT & an increasingly IRRELEVANT DIMocRATS Party.

History will call this “The Age of Trump” His face will be carved on the sides of mountains and after his death his face will grace the Twenty Dollar bill. A new class of Battleships will be called the Trump Class, armed with rail guns, drones and rockets it will be the terror of the seas. The First one the USS Trump, will accept the surrender of the Chinese at the conclusion of the Sino-American World War. His tomb and library in Mari lago will be a popular tourist attraction. History will be kind to Trump, but only after his death.

You forgot to list his huge weaknesses (your claim).

"How will history view his presidency?"

I think the best historical comparison is Andrew Jackson, who also had many flaws, a huge ego, was hated by TPTB (the powers that be), yet presided over a massive sea change in the direction of the nation. This presidency seems more and more similar to the Jacksonian one.

weaknesses of my persomal hero The Donald:

egotistical

a little too creative with the truth at times ..... this has huge enetertainment and social media value but I am not sure how presidential it is

to put it in pwerspective, without these two “weaknesses”, he never would have saved the world from Warhawk Clinton as president .......

I replied first to these comments on the PM you sent me; not knowing you had also posted them on the forum.

I will say that much of DJT’s success is due to the fact that he doesn’t fit the mold of being a boring, staid, phony statesman, that many equate to being “presidential”.

Trump is more ground breaking than Obama was.
