This is perhaps the best explanation for Trump's popularity

"My Leftist friends..."

Not something I'd be comfortable admitting in public -- if I had any leftist friends.

(He even capitalized it)

A nice summary of what has been stated by Freepers here countless times.

If Mr. Romney had defeated BHO in the 2012 election, he would be the target of all these attacks from the Democrats and we would be defending him.

I prefer calling them flagburning gungrabbing babykillers.

Mitt Romney SEEMS nice, but he’s a VICIOUS, JEALOUS LOSER!

[2ndDivisionVet]

He also says that Trump is King Troll.

The time has come to fight fire with fire. The Deep State is as dirty as they come and Trump knows they are out to destroy our form of government so no other party will ever win the high government offices again. They have worked on this for years and, without term limits, have set up what they thought was iron clad bureaucracies which would rule, even when Republicans won the Presidency and Congress. The very desperation of the left and their media allies tell us they are concerned that Trump sees and knows what they have been doing forever which has crippled our nation, but enriched them. To hear them say they want to put Trump in jail because he is not one of them is an echo of the dictatorships of the past. When they cannot continue their charade, they want to destroy the nation and it's system in order to get rid of one who is definitely not one of them. Trump knows that playing nice, backing into a corner, and pretending that they are not doing what they are doing which means looking the other way, will bring disaster for the nation and the people he loves. He does not depend on quid pro quo’s like the Biden’s to make him rich because that is not why he is President. His goal is to enrich the people through good economic and trade policies and to keep our nation free. To do that he has to have good relations with the other nations of the world and he does. His hotels operate in many other nations and before becoming President, he became acquainted with many of those governments and business people. Therefore, they know him and respect the strength that he shows against his enemies, for they also know his enemies. Are the Dems afraid that some of those nations just might tell what they know in support of Trump. I wouldn't be at all surprised. It is about time that the light of day shines on that bunch. Transparency will come, one way or another. I believe that with all my heart. In the meantime, all of us who pray, need to pray for Trump's enemies and ours, for it is not just him that they hate. The great equalizer is mortality and all share that reality. There is no way the Deep State, it's media and it's wealth will ensure safety for it's children and ours. When they get their “global” community, other nations who are cleared eyed and not crazy will take over. I pray every day that God will grace us with supernatural correction of the problems we have so that our people can go forward in fairness, love and concern.

What is is FR handle?

[9YearLurker]

Should post the right source:

Could also go on about Clinton as a serial rapist, not just guilty of a crude comment or two. All the players on the left in high office guilty of theft in the millions to billions, not just a few folks choosing to stay in his hotels, etc., etc.

But this is excellent. Sayet is very sharp.

[reviled downesdad]

The essay is spot on. Reagan was the last culture warrior. Now it’s Trumps time and he is successful and will survive because he fights.

[srmorton]

GREAT article and SO true! Thanks for posting it!

[Fzob]

“Donald Trump is America ’s first wartime president in the Culture War.”

Yep nice one sentence summary.

[jazminerose]

I am SO effin sick of candy ass Republicans.

On our local Stupid Republicans Cult FB book page, they’re handwringing about whether we might run up against Congressional procedural rules if we try to do anything to defend President Trump.

They’re frickin worried about which polish to use for the brass on the Titanic.

It happens here, too, the one place we should not have anyone grabbing their pearls while goat fainting.

We are in a f*****g knife fight, people. Waving your parasols at them has not been getting results. Not since Tail Gunner Joe has a Communist truly quaked at the sight of a Republican.

If the weenies won’t find their own vertebrae for themselves, will they do it for their kids? Their grandkids? Their kids?

Or, will these little girls leave President Trump to keep fighting alone as they lie down and let the stampeding Garadene pigs run right over them?

Perhaps he meant to say “generations” not decades. That would be correct since we are approaching 100 years since Hitler’s rise to power in the 1930s.

I love this essay. However, I would not characterize Trump as crass. Like General Patton, he is full of praise for good people who do their jobs well. The “crassness” is saved for the useful idiots who do everything they can to undermine him and the country—the mainstream media and the DemocRATs.

The war that the left has been waging against our country was fueled by Soviet moles starting (I believe) in the 1950s. So the leftists who claim, for example, that investigating Joe Biden’s profound corruption is treasonous are carrying on the legacy of the USSR. They have never been patriotic. While the useful idiots do everything they can to effect converting the country into a socialist dictatorship, they have no ability to conceptualize how miserable life in their dystopia would actually be—for those who survive the purges, anyway. And so the war continues.

Excellent Bump!

[MayflowerMadam]

I get annoyed when people say, “He isn’t ‘presidential’.”

He IS President so, by definition, he IS “presidential”. I’m hoping his persona and actions will be the GOP’s new normal. We just have to keep our eyes open for our next promise-keeping RAT-fighting badass.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

We can do better than four words. We need only two.

HE FIGHTS

[ProtectOurFreedom]

And Romney would have “crossed the aisle” a couple dozen times by now. He would have the pedal on the metal as we accelerate our way to perdition.
