Just wanted to put those words into print: President Elect Donald Trump.
Feels awesome!
Alleluia!
I’m loving it, too. So often, it seemed impossible.
Well, rumor has it that some folks on here still think Hillary is going to steal the election! LOL!!!!
I have given a lot of thought to the outcome of this election, just like most everyone here has. I’ll share a few observations:
This was a close race. No one really knew how it would turn out for sure until Trump won.
Free Republic — that means you — made the difference. I do not think Trump would have won without Free Republic.
Trump fought a hard fight. He was working a schedule that most men half his age could not keep pace with. Love seeing his family playing such a major role in the success of his campaign. Without all of this hard work, Trump would not have won.
As an early Cruz supporter, I am elated that Trump won the nomination AND the presidency. I do not think Cruz could have weathered the attacks that the media launched in this campaign. And they would have been equally brutal if not more to Cruz. That being said, Cruz supporters and Cruz himself ultimately helped push Trump over the finish line. As I said all along, Cruz supporters, which numbered in the millions, were essential to Trump’s victory. Now it is time for Cruz to do his job as a senator from Texas and help Trump get his conservative agenda passed. I expect this will happen. And I hope that the hatchet will finally be buried now.
Even though Trump is a man with rough edges, his heart is in the right place. Reflecting upon his character, I have come to realize the contrast between him and the average person. Most of us have no idea what temptations someone as rich as Donald Trump has encountered in his life. Like Christ’s disciples who boasted how they would never succumb to such temptations, we really do not know what we would do until we are actually tested. Trump has lived a much more moral and clean life than most people would if we had the power and wealth he has had. I think the kind of character he has displayed is going to make him a great president.
Finally, I thank God for His mercy and answer to the prayers many offered on behalf of this nation. The outcome of this election has renewed my hope for our future.
Yes, it really does sound very nice. Has a nice roll on the tongue, doesn’t it?
President-elect Trump. I like it so much, I’ll say it again: President-elect Trump.
But admittedly I like “President Trump” a whole lot better.
How “inappropriate” would it be to gloat a little when we all know who the defeated ones are and what they’ve been doing to us for so damned long? “Fellow Americans” they may be but not by much. This is still a very serious and critical time, and to keep reminding them of the fact that their dirty deeds are more ineffective and less tolerable than they once thought wouldn’t necessarily be a bad thing.
Some months ago I “bit” on a plea for $184 donation to receive a signed copy of his book - it took a couple months for it to arrive and has a placard (sticker) stating it’s a 2016 Trump Campaign special edition and has his signature. Will probably be a collector’s item....
