Why Is Donald Trump Good for America?

The often ostentatious Donald Trump irritates Democrats, the liberal media, and the establishment Republicans for many reasons. They cannot understand how his popularity soars in the polls no matter what he says and what they do to unseat him, or what dirt, real or imagined, they try to dig up.

Donald Trump is a populist and a nationalist. He loves his country and does not like the path that the current administration and its supporters on both sides of the aisle have chosen for 320 million Americans, even though at least half have vociferously expressed their desires, to seemingly deaf elected representatives and senators, to maintain our sovereignty, our Christian roots, our market-based economy, our traditions, and our exceptionalism.

Donald Trump is a successful alpha male, which Hispanic populations, with their cultural machismo, greatly respect. He is a billionaire who has experienced success and failure, yet has come back unscathed like a Phoenix bird from the ashes of bankruptcies, divorces, law suits, and other life-altering events. He is wise and knows how to manipulate and keep his enemies closer. He is brash and doubles down on his opinions which later turn out to be based on fact. He comes back with evidence to support his opinions.

I think the American Revolution was a very different case. It was not so much that Parliament and the King were discredited as that they were denying the colonists ‘the rights of Englishmen” to which they thought they were due. Home rule or seats in Parliament could have fixed things.

The Democrats represent illegal aliens.

The Republicans represent their employers.

Noboby has been representing the citizens.

Enter Trump.

You are right about the Revolution. A single, substantive redress on the part of Parliament to the Colonies would have precluded or greatly postponed the Revolution.
