And you do the same.
Personally, I tend to take people at their actions, not their words.
Will Trump's second term be different? Will he do all the swamp draining that he said he was going to do during his first term and didn't? Did he learn any lessons?
Perhaps. Maybe it will be different. Then again, maybe it won't.
Meanwhile, I can look at Florida and at a man I also voted for and see actual swamp draining and execution of policy taking place during his first term!
So, I ask, who should I support? The guy who says he's going to do great things the next time despite not doing them the first time when he had the chance or the guy who is actually doing great things?
This isn't to say Trump didn't do great things when he was in office. He gave us great judges and got the economy moving (even if it all crashed to a halt in 2020 after he handed control of the country over to Fauci and Birx).
But his greatest and lasting defeat was picking a fight against the Deep State and losing. And today, the Deep State is more powerful than ever (except in Florida where Gov. DeSantis is solidifying conservative control at every level, from the school boards on up).
I’ll bet you a benjamin today, that Trump fires Wray on day 1 and replaces numerous others shortly thereafter, including accepted resignations of everyone in “Deep State. What a target rich job. Ed., State, Justice, EPA, Health, Military, Homeland
Followed by cabinet level eliminations, agency closures, relocations, reductions.
The people who fought, hindered, sabotaged every Trump initiative will be gone.
A newbie like DeSantis couldn’t get away with it for several years.
