Some Unsolicited Advice to Donald Trump for Winning the White House in 2024
Flopping Aces ^ | 03-08-23 | Vince

Posted on 03/08/2023 2:46:15 PM PST by Starman417

I’d like to offer some advice to Donald Trump. This offer comes from someone who in November talked about following him into a raging inferno then in January questioned whether supporting him was worth the fight.

How does one go from being such a rabid fan to sitting on the fence in such a short period of time?  Messaging.  As I mentioned in my January piece, Trump’s embrace of the grifters running the GOP suggests that he might be taking his eye off the ball.  As such, I’d like to offer three bits of unsolicited advice to the former and hopefully future president.

First, stop focusing on the stolen 2020 election and focus on America today. Not that 2020 wasn’t important, it was. But it’s 2023 and we’re 20 months away from the next election.  There simply isn’t time to fix 2020, and any energy spent trying to do is that much less energy going into saving the country in 2024.  Given the trajectory of the country, if we’re not victorious in 2024 there will likely be no more America as we know it by 2028.

Second, to stop taking credit for the vaccine.  The more Americans know about it the less they like it, and many of us hated it from day one. While putting the development in motion was understandable at the time, the fact is that it was used as a cudgel to coerce the American people into submission, and may have terrible long term consequences to come.  It’s an issue best let go as his supporters hate it and his enemies wouldn’t give him credit for it regardless.

Third, and most importantly, focus on issues that impact Americans where the proverbial tire hits the road.  Here are seven.

1)  Immigration:  Promise to build a wall. Guarantee that the first thing he will do in office is begin the process of building a wall from Brownsville to San Diego.  No nation can be a nation if it doesn’t have a border, and the invasion on our southern border is far more of a threat to Americans than anything going on in Ukraine. We’ve seen the virtual elimination of our border since Joe Biden was installed as president and watched as over 5 million illegal immigrants walked in virtually unimpeded. At the same time, we’ve seen 100,000 deaths a year from Fentanyl overdoses and are forced to watch as cartels bring their violence to American streets and mimic Mexico by bringing their infrastructure here and having comrades take powerful positions in government.  He should promise that if Democrats and activist judges throw roadblocks along the way again, he will use the military to patrol the border where no wall exists until the wall is actually complete.

2)  Wokeness in government: He should promise to eliminate every element of the racist Critical Race Theory in government along with the DEI “diversity, equity and inclusion” treachery.  He should tell America the government will stop operating programs based on race and will stop setting various groups of Americans against one another in the name of “equity” and victimhood. The police power of government will no longer be used to favor any group over another or to use demographic data to achieve “diversity” objectives. He should promise that every single element of the federal government will be agnostic as it relates to immutable characteristics.

3)  Energy independence: Promise to return the United States to energy independence.  He will stop the demonization of fossil fuels in and by our government. We will stop having the nation’s economic well-being taken for granted and sacrificed at the altar of the “climate change” hoax.  He will stop wasting American tax dollars pursuing the fiction of green energy as the destruction of the environment associated with the mining and production of materials used in car batteries, solar panels and wind turbines is far greater than that associated with the production of natural gas and oil.

4)  Return to gender normalcy:  Eliminate every element of the federal government that blurs the lines between men and women.  While there may indeed be a tiny number of Americans who actually suffer from “gender dysphoria” the reality is, men are men and women are women. This has been a fact throughout all of human history, and remains so today for 99.995% of human beings. Our government should no more base public policy on the desires of .005% of the population who genuinely suffer from gender dysphoria than they should base it on the slightly less frequent existence of Siamese twins. And he should promise to pass a federal law outlawing “gender-affirming poison and operations” for children under the age of 18.

Conservative politicians have achieved what exactly?
Trump achieved things no one could before him.

Take a human sized weed-whacked to the state department, not 5% of the people working there should be allowed into government

If Mexico was directly killing 100,000 Americans with guns, we’d declare war. Fentanyl is war & Mexico and the cartels must be beaten back.

DeSantis isn’t all people think he is and he IS much of what they don’t want to think he is, lurking below the surface and bubbles up on occasion only to be explained away by those idolizing the bought and paid for gov.

Unfortunately his entire spiel will be the 3 R’s. Revenge, Retaliation, and Retribution. If rumors are true that Lake is on the short list, we may as well get used to saying President Newsome, Speaker Jeffries, and 12 Member Supreme Court.

Admire Trump no end, but as to “... stop taking credit for the vaccine.” It doesn’t matter whether he does or not. If the things feared by the anti-vaxxers turn out to be true some of that is going to blow back on Trump. Big time probably, although I’ve been told the Mandates are all on Biden, but I can’t verify that.

I also can’t verify if the vaccines themselves are killing a disproportionate amount of persons. I just do not have an educated opinion about it and am not going to try and develop one. It seems to be having an adverse affects on some younger people, that is for sure. Will this diminish or grow worse? That is the question.

But if it blows up bad, Trump is not going to escape blame.

Of course, there’s plenty of Blame to go around, and I hope it starts being dished out, STAT.

Truth!
Trump is not a true conservative. He is, though, a devout pragmatist. Moreso, he is a right leaning pragmatist.
And, I’m fine with that...

Give all the advice you want. As for me Trump is #1 and DeSantis #2. All the rest can take a f’n hike.

^^^^^This^^^^^

But I do agree with a lot in that article. Sound advice mostly.

She has extremely compromised immune system due to stage-4 cancer. The vaccine helped avoid serious covid attack needing hospitalization.

Exactly the individual the shot should have been targeted to. Happy to hear the end results were so positive.

Similar to my mom and dad.

Yes he did, BUT they were all or mostly executive orders turned around on day one from the POS in office right now.
Don’t worry, I’m a Trump supporter all the way.

Which POTUS was as successful as Trump? Look at what Trump accomplished:

  1. Gas price per gallon was about $2.30;
  2. Inflation about 1.4%, mortgage rates were half of what they are now;
  3. Unemployment was low before Covid and before Blue Governors shut everything down and we were in the midst of a V-shape recovery until January 22, 2021;
  4. Tax decrease; tax laws promoted small businesses as well as large;
  5. US enjoyed energy independence - No Green Agenda, no war on energy, No Paris Treaty;
  6. No war in Ukraine, no threat of nuclear war, NATO paid its way;
  7. China was quiet and we were winning the trade war;
  8. US companies were bringing home the jobs due to well executed tax treatments;
  9. Peace in the Middle East aka Abraham Accords; US Embassy moved to Jerusalem; and Iran was isolated.
  10. Got three non-left “I don't know what a woman is” Supreme Court Justices on the bench allowing Roe vs Wade to be overturned.

Who the heck can accomplish the above in four years while being impeached twice and investigated by Obama's Weaponized Agencies?

Is it conservative to offshore industry and to lower tariffs at the same time income taxing to death our workers? That is what Conservative Republicants have done to us.

Trump fought against globalism. IMO Desantis wouldn't lift a finger in that area.

His promise was to build the wall across the border with Mexico paying for it. He didn’t say 500 miles or a thousand. He said entire wall and said it be the best wall and beautiful. Nobody will be able to get over it. Hmmmm.

Trump needs to massage his messaging, I agree with that. He needs to get good people around him, he had some stumbles there. He really should embrace DeSantis, we’re on the same team, let the best man win. It’s going to be either Trump or DeSantis, both are better than the other GOP folks running and way better than the catastrophe we now have.

The reality is, Trump has his base, now focus on getting the people he MUST have if he wants to win. I certainly don’t want him to be remembered, after all the good, as a Perot type figure.

I recall Jorge Bush signing some sort of a border fence bill on Hillary Clinton’s birthday back in maybe ‘06??

Trump had to promise something that Govt had promised previously because apparently it never took..
Nice job DC!
