First put,aside all of the people who would hate the Republican anyway and who are also triggered by Trumps aggressive self promoting personality.
Before he came down the escalator I considered Trump to be a NY gadfly rockstar wannabe. I felt a little sorry for his type, a business man who really wanted to be Elvis. Thru the 80s and 90s the papers were, inexplicably to me, full of his comings and goings. I didn’t get the reason for all the interest.
I happened to be passing a TV when he was coming down the escalator and I immediately saw it as a clownish diversion from politics and laughed out loud and said “Oh, this’ll be good”.
When Trump finished his speech I said “If he keeps this up he can win”.
That 180 I did is, I believe, somehow egotisticly impossible for some people and they react with ever building rage as they see their positon fail. To them Trump is a Klown and that’s it. They are offended by Trump and President in the same sentence and they CANNOT be wrong.
Very good insightful observations
Interesting comments you made about Trump, and your 180.
It is often said that a person’s greatest strengths are also his greatest weaknesses. Trump getting into politics is textbook illustration of this maxim. His aggressive public self-promotion (”-”) vs. his aggressive public USA/MAGA promotion (”+”). Complete DC political outsider impeded ability quickly to get key people inside WH to advance agenda (”-”) vs Trump beholden to no one in DC, no chit to cash, no favor to grant, question the status quo (e.g. NATO, Mid East peace, ISIS, etc) and take action (”+”).
The more the left hated him, the bigger the impediments to his presidency (”-”) vs the stronger his base became to supporting him, as the left’s corruption in our institutions was laid bare for all to see (”+”). His final act may be exposing the U.S. election system is a fraud.
Trump had the extraordinary, genuine ability of someone in his class to relate personally to any American in any other class. But more than relating across all lines, he could understand and empathize the challenges and struggles of the average person - and then take action.
If Trump is not the next POTUS until 2025, and the stars align, he could very well return. What would be to his advantage is that Buyden makes it to 82. He’ll have a record of failure and scandal, and failing health will most likely cause him to not run again. The choice will be clear - Trump’s 4 years vs Buyden failed way of doing things. In the interim, GOP must stamp out all the election fraud before 2024, better, before 2022. That is the weakest link in Trump’s future success. Only a fraction of the GOP is committed to this, and the system (judiciary, legislatures, media) are lukewarm to down right hostile to cleaning up fraudulent elections, b/c many would be non-influential or ousted in a fair election. But more importantly the entrenched, corrupt would have to work for the good of the average American, recognize and admit that Trump won in 2020. No way they will work to accomplish that.
God Bless America so we may endure as a free nation.
, and he was not a fake when One of who had a chit to cash which allowed him to get certain in place Leftist hatred of him
