Full Title: The mayor of Livermore California explains Trump’s popularity and success. This is perhaps the best explanation for Trump's popularity

Excellent

Excellent essay!

But I'm confused by this one statement:

But, had Franklin Roosevelt applied the normal rules of decorum then, Hitler and the Socialists would barely be five decades into their thousand-year Reich.

Let's see: January 30, 1933 (The "Machtergreifung." Hitler becomes Reichskanzler; the Nazi Party comes to power) plus five decades would take us into the 1980s.

Even if we took 1945 as the base-line, that would only take us into the mid-1990s. Is someone's math wrong here?

The despicable Cenk Uygur of the `young Turks’ pays PDJT an unintended compliment by calling him the “Deplorables’ middle finger aimed at progressives”.

Nothing like being saluted by one’s enemies!

Which however underscores Trump’s message to his supporters: “It’s not me they’re after, it’s you. I’m just in the way”.

I can sum up the popularity of DJT in FOUR words: He keeps his promises.

Donald Trump is a youthful man in his mid-70’s. Why should a POTUS act and sound like an old fart? We can’t have an old man, fuddy-duddy of a President who can’t fight his or her way out of a paper bag! We won’t be making America great again with an old fart for a leader. It’s his youthfulness that they resent and he gets under their skin without even trying...The United States is only 243 years in and is not an old fart of a country like England and France are, so why shouldn’t our President exhibit the youthfulness of the country he leads? Not only is he a great POTUS, he’s a great role model for young American men, whereas the (D) party’s idea of youthfulness is powerfully weak enough to be susceptible to caving in to the intense peer pressure and demands of political correctness.

They ask if I don’t think his tweets are “beneath the dignity of the office.”

Yet there was nothing undignified about thrusting a cigar up a young intern in the Oval Office.

And it’s time President Trump’s supporters start doing the same. Call out the leftist...call them what they are, liers haters and communist.....

[Savage Beast]

This is the explanation for Trump’s popularity: TRUTH!

[Windflier]

"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.

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

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.
