The swamp is thick on Free republic. Trump was the best president in our lifetime! He was the man we prayed for, for decades!
He picked some bad people. HE HAD NOTHING ELSE TO CHOOSE FROM! Not in D.C. NOT in 2016.
Let me remind you, 90% of you supported Bush no matter what damage he did to this country!
SO DON'T TALK TO ME ABOUT POOR JUDGEMENT! I got kicked out of here when I would no longer buy his crap! Like AMNESTY! I'M A DEAD WOMAN. But at least I got 4 years of a president who actually loves this country!
OPUS OUT!

Exactly.
The TDSers always overlook that.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
“I got kicked out of here when I would no longer buy his crap!‘
No surprise here.
It was a good four years. America actually came first with a that president.
Regards.
Finding a good person in DC is like trying to get a virgin in a whorehouse.
Trump should not be picking from the 'rotten' apples in D.C. He should be turning to the 'private' sector for all appointments. There are some brilliant minds in America and very much qualified to fill any slot in D.C. And it would also be another way for citizens to retake this government. (of course...imho)
Amen to that!
I won’t give up on Trump as long as he doesn’t give up on us!
What’s really funny, is the same people complaining about this are the people supporting DeSantis, a man whom the whole Deep State, Globalist, and Establishment GOP has lined up behind in support.
Furthermore, if, by some quirk of fate, DeSantis became POTUS in 2024, he’d have the same pool of people to pick from that Trump did, and given he has already been bought by the Globalists with their millions of dollars of campaign donations, you know DeSantis’s picks will be worse.
The truth of the matter is that President Trump made both bad choices and wise choices.
So did Washington. And Lincoln. And Roosevelt. And Churchill. And Kennedy. And Nixon. And Reagan. And Bush.
And Trump.
It is a fact that Trump accomplished great things and made decisions that flew in the face of the "conventional wisdom".
And he accomplished those things against the collective handicap and crushing weight of a hostile Republican Party, a a malignant Democrat Party, a corrupt DOJ, a weaponized and immoral FBI, and a Media that would have made Soviet Pravda proud.
Yet in spite of all this, he managed to do great things.
All of us have faults. Trump has his as well. As do I.
And one of the faults I harbor is loyalty to those who deserve it, loyalty against all advice, loyalty against all odds.
But if there is one man who deserves loyalty in spite of his faults, that is Donald J. Trump. President Trump had that election outright stolen from him. It is a shame, and a black mark on our country that this occurred, but it did.
Many of us may have thought that a Presidential theft was implausible and impossible, perhaps the same many of us who thought his Conservatism both implausible and impossible, and those same of us who thought his candidacy implausible and impossible as well.
But he showed me I was wrong. He was not my first choice. But I never, ever, not once regretted my vote for him.
Never.
And I can say that in spite of the Hobbesian electoral choices presented between the likes of Dukakis/Bush and Gore/Bush, I cannot say the same of my vote for George H. W. Bush, and George W. Bush. I am repelled by my being forced to vote for them.
During his Presidency, President Trump received very little help from Republicans and fought a four year long coup, impeachment being shouted from the Dems and Media hundreds of times a day, and people in the government trying to subvert him at every step.
Yet in spite of these handicaps which had the effect on his effectiveness that a barnacle-encrusted hull has on the speed and efficiency of a high speed warship, he managed to accomplish the following:
My biggest disappointment and sadness over the last seven years was the observation that those from his own party who should have been helping Trump not only did not help him, but in many cases actively worked against him and often openly and unashamedly sabotaged him.
Any honest and sentient Conservative cannot help but consider how much better off this country would have been had "conservatives" actually helped and assisted the agenda of President Trump rather than at best essentially voting "Present" due to rank cowardice or craven corruption, and at worst, openly siding with the enemy.
And make no mistake: those that attempted to actively impede Trump were and are open enemies of this Republic.
And we should keep in mind and ponder the motives of those that openly and fiercely despise him, and consider why those same people who hate and fear him have left no stone unturned through open slander, illegal weaponization of the government from top to bottom, and law fare to persecute not just him but anyone who supported him.
It should be the first thought in our minds when we consider if Trump is to be given a second chance at regaining the office he had illegally stolen from him:
WHY DO THESE PEOPLE I REGARD AS DANGEROUS ENEMIES HATE AND FEAR A PRESIDENT TRUMP?
To me, the answer is clear: He is not "one of them". And his presence threatens them and their corrupt gravy train.
And that reason alone is reason enough for me to re-elect this man. If there were ever a person to whom I owed "allegiance" to and would support a "Second Chance", that man would be a Donald J. Trump with a vengeful bone in his teeth helming the ship of state, to face directly and defiantly those who wish this country ill, both Foreign and Domestic.
Plenty of people disagree with me. I can accept the disagreement and even respect it from fellow conservatives, even some I greatly respect, but I will not change my mind on this unless forced to do so by future actions of Donald J. Trump that will force me to reconsider.
And I have seen nothing to this date that will force me to reconsider.
Especially Churchill....Gallipoli, anyone? Italy, anyone, during WWII? Those were Churchill's babies.
2020 Election was Trump’s to lose . . . and he did, mostly by self-inflicted wounding, including the bad picks (DoJ, FBI, Deep Swamp Rat-niks, etc.).
*Effectively*, there never was a Trump Administration. And, there was only a briefly seated U.S. Attorney General, Matthew Whitaker.
“Trump was the best president in our lifetime!” True. Before your lifetime, Andrew Jackson was a good president as was Chester Arthur. “ Arthur approved a measure in 1882 excluding paupers, criminals, and lunatics.”
Oh so Trumps 75 million votes didn’t impress you? But Bidens supposed 81 Million ballots harvested did?
Nevertrumper
Moronic.
You think Obama or Bush picked better people?
Or Jeb or Hillary would have picked better?
Obviously not.
Reality vs fantasyland is hard for some people.
More, the proof is in the pudding. The country was doing great during the Trump years. It’s not a coincidence.
I have just seen that rarest of things, a helpful and informed n00b who is not a troll.
Thanks and welcome aboard!
Actually, everyone is right who says the Trump picked bad people. This is very surprising, considering that was one of his pre-president reputations, a picker of good people. By comparison, I don’t think any president has been worse at picking people than Trump. It’s just the facts.
“ I don’t think any president has been worse at picking people than Trump. It’s just the facts.”
So to you it is a fact that Hillary Clinton and John Kerry were better Secretary of States than Mike Pompeo.
I guess you really pine for Madeleine Albright.
