Trump: Our Man in the Arena
Flopping Aces ^ | 10-19-22 | Larry Brandes

Posted on 10/19/2022 8:31:29 AM PDT by Starman417

There is an old Turkish proverb: "When a clown moves into a palace, he doesn't become a king.  The palace becomes a circus."  Twenty-one months ago, Biden and his merry band of nitwits oozed into the White House and the big top definitely arrived in DC.  The circus was complete with clowns galore, donkey poop and death defying, dazzling acts of breathtaking stupidity.  The British in 1814 did less damage to our beautiful country than Biden and his minions!

Many Americans strongly believe that the 2020 election was rigged and mumbling Biden, hiding in his basement, could never, ever, honestly generate 81 million votes.  Ya think? The lamestream media lied and obfuscated up the ying yang but down deep we knew better.  We were conned and Americans really, really hate to be conned.

Our country is not perfect but Americans, at their core, value good, honest, in your face competition.  You put your best team or individual in the arena and let them/him/her compete on a level playing field.  Theodore Roosevelt said it best in his 1910 speech, "The Man in the Arena."

...The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood;
who strives valiently; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcomings;
but who does actually strive to to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions;
who spends himself in a worthy cause;
who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails,
at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

Joe Biden was never actually in the arena. His face is marred by ice cream, confusion and a perpetual state of bewilderment.  Joe's speech pattern is best described as incoherent mumbling. Joe does not strive to do the deeds necessary to keep this country strong.  Joe has no enthusiasm for America and will never know victory.  Joe is instead an empty suit who blindly follows the orders of the puppet master and will always be associated with cold, timid, treacherous souls who passionately hate America.

Donald Trump is our hero who fought in the arena for four years.  He loved America and his face was marred with dust and sweat and blood. Sometimes, he came up short but actually strove to do the deeds, exuded great enthusiasm and was passionate about our future. President Trump devoted his presidency to the worthy cause of making America great again while the jackals in the media tore him down.  Trump's place will never be with the cold and timid souls who cheat, lie and then suffer the delusion being victorious.

Great article. Thanks for posting. The quote from Roosevelt's "Man in the Arena" speech is tremendous. I found another passage from the same speech that is also great...
Of one man in especial, beyond any one else, the citizens of a republic should beware, and that is of the man who appeals to them to support him on the ground that he is hostile to other citizens of the republic, that he will secure for those who elect him, in one shape or another, profit at the expense of other citizens of the republic. It makes no difference whether he appeals to class hatred or class interest, to religious or anti-religious prejudice. The man who makes such an appeal should always be presumed to make it for the sake of furthering his own interest. The very last thing an intelligent and self-respecting member of a democratic community should do is to reward any public man because that public man says that he will get the private citizen something to which this private citizen is not entitled, or will gratify some emotion or animosity which this private citizen ought not to possess.
That describes Biden to a "T."

I have that framed on my desk.

As my best friend said the other day “in terms of saving our country Trump is the 2nd coming”.>>>>>>>>>>

Indeed he is.

But he also created a template for future presidents who willcontinue to save our country. President Tumps in his own right saves America, but he has created a lineage or renewed a lineage. You can see them already...Ron DeSantis....Mike Pompeo,,,, and many others. He has shown Republicans how they need to fight back against the leftist socialist agenda to bring America to totalitariansim.

President Trump is reviled by those who do not like his bluster, his prickliness, his commanding attitude, his denigrating attacks on political enemies, his historical womanizing, etc. But America does not care about those things really, what America cares about is the effectiveness of Trump’s policies , his management skills and his ability to get bureaucracy moving to accomplish policy for America.

That’s really what America cares about, and from now on, Trump will grow in stature among Americans in general. Even democrats will vote Republican in a few weeks, because they see that we are losing our country and they want it back.

All the best to you Georgia Girl 2, and to your friend who said so.

The article much enjoyed. Trump trolls are one of
his greatest assets. Should he cease to use them
he would cease to be TRUMP.

As to the circus stripes and clowns. They might be deflating
our pockets, but we must smile due to the fact SloJo has no
need of clown makeup. He does save us a few cents in that
regard.
