Who is Donald Trump

When I first heard about Donald Trump, I was horrified: a billionaire businessman who runs for president? Yeah, right! Surely he is the next crook on the scene…

This negative opinion was strongly confirmed by literally everything I saw in the media about this man. He was portrayed as the worst monster that ever lived on the face of the earth. A liar, insulter, racist, hater, sexist, twisted psychopath and a maniacal narcissist. In short: Satan himself.

My wife however started watching his speeches, and to my amazement – and annoyance! – she became excited. ‘You have to listen to this man’, she told me. ‘He is wonderful!’ ‘What? Have you lost your mind?’, I asked in utter bewilderment. How could she say such a thing? ‘And by the way, I have already listened to him,’ I replied angrily. ‘The man’s a lunatic and a beast. Just the next criminal on the platform of corrupt politicians. I hate him already!’

‘No, you haven’t listened to him’, my wonderful woman replied. ‘All you have done is watch short clips on YouTube that are made by the mainstream media, with short sentences taken out of context.’

Ouch, there she struck a nerve. Having been a public author and speaker for decades, I knew all too well how the media can make anyone look horrible, by quoting statements out of context. It had been done to me often enough. The internet was buzzing at one time with gossip about me. Many people detested me with a poisonous hate.

Sometimes I went to public gatherings, and to my amazement, some people stared at me with eyes that seemed to shoot invisible arrows straight at me.

Why did these people hate me so intensely? For one single reason: the media had spread lies about me.

It’s so easy to paint a dark picture that makes the shiniest saint look like the darkest demon, through the media. People tend to believe anything, when it’s printed or broadcasted.

When we moved to a different country, all hell broke loose. My daughter had a vision one night while we prayed. She was nine years young and had never had any such experience. She saw how we were crossing a sea in a boat, and came ashore in a different part of the world. This obviously depicted our recent move to another nation. Then she saw a demonic being that looked like a muscular warrior with the face of a monster, walked up to me and started calling me names and cursing me.

That was the explosion of slander that erupted against me, when we arrived in our new homeland. It was amazing how God gave this powerful vision to my daughter, to help us understand what was going on.

So I knew how the media could be used to portray a good guy, in this case myself, as the worst criminal.

My wife said: ‘If you want to know who Donald Trump is, you should listen to his entire speeches, not just to a video that slanders him with single sentences that are ripped out of context.’ Now, that was some wise advice I couldn’t ignore. So I did it, and I must say that I was moved – deeply moved.

I suddenly saw a man with genuine passion. A man on fire. A man with a zeal to restore America.

A man that was not acting ‘like a president’ like Joe Biden had said: ‘Why doesn’t the man act like a president?’ EXACTLY! This man was not trying to please people with a perfect performance. He wasn’t reading polished speeches, prepared by professionals. On the contrary, he was trampling on everybody’s toes, roaring from his gut, not caring what others would think of him. This man was goddam’ REAL! Something I had NEVER ever seen in any political leader, during my entire life.

I felt something I had never felt in my entire life, while listening to a political person. Usually I resent politicians, because they just ooze hypocrisy. Fakeness simply drips off of them. Even as a child I always saw how they were just babbling, playing games and fooling the world. Everything they do is always 100% theatre.

Now, when listening to this billionaire businessman, I felt a stirring deep inside of me, that totally took me by surprise.

Behold, I even got emotional. I got chills all over. What was this? This is not a politician! This is a man on fire for his country. A man roaring from his innermost being. A man who was coming to the scene to fight.

You tell me how. Back it up with numbers, you can’t.

Just like you can't prove your opinion, I suspect. Just because you think you are right, doesn't make it so.

I was basing my opinion on the fact that President Trump was reelected, after the cheat factor was fully considered.

I already know that he got 74,216,154 votes in 2020 (that he was credited as receiving), and 62,984,828 in 2016. So, in 2020 he got at least 8+ million more votes than the 65 million retweets number you mentioned, and at least 11+ million more than he got in 2016. I know of not one person that I personally am aware that voted for Donald J. Trump in 2020 who isn't still for him if he chooses to run in 2024. Now, none of what I presented is validation of my opinion, but at least it is a well-reasoned one. 🙂

But hey, I'll give you the opportunity to prove your opinion. If you chose to not do so, I'll take that as confirmation that you can't prove your opinion either. 🙂

Nobody had to twist my arm...

I first started to run across rumors Trump might run sometime about 3 months before he announced. I knew nothing about the guy, just another millionaire, so what? That was just about my whole opinion.

But I have said since the late 80s we need someone in the white house who:

Is not a politician
Is too rich to be bought
Listens to the people instead of the lobbyist groups
Has the business sense to realize the government cannot spend more than it makes.

I wondered if Trump might fit the bill.

So I started to look up information about Donald Trump. Some interesting stuff out there, and before he became a politician, hardly a word of it was negative. His butler at Mar A Lago seemed to have much respect for the guy and related how he brought him his newspapers every morning...5 of them...and how now and then he would walk the grounds and if he found things looking good, he would hand out $100 bills to all the groundskeepers.

He has a long standing reputation for going to his jobsites, and after checking in with the supervisors, walks arund and taks to the workers. The guy who has a hammer in his hand etc. That’s why he was called a blue collar billionaire. Oh yeah, I didn’t know he was a billionaire either..or that he had a TV show...

About the only thing I did find negative was the stories about him using imminent domain to force people off their property, then I found out only the government can do that, no private individual can use imminent domain, so it was a nothingburger. Probably because he had decided to quit the democrats and sign up as a republican, dems wanted revenge.

So by the time he announced he was running, I basically had one question left. Was he serious, or would he be bought off by the existing political establishment? 3 months into his campaign I was pretty sure he wasn’t going to be bought off...

I’ve been a fan ever since.

Took some heat for it in my early days here on FR, before many of you folks got on the Trump Train...I had lurked around here for 3 or 4 years, finally decided to sign up to try and get some of these people to look at the articles and interviews I had, rather than the media tripe, and realize he was the real deal.

Here it is 6 years later and I’m hoping to see him back in the oval office before this country is completely demolished by the commies in charge now...or to try and rebuild what he can after they trash the place. And they will. Inclluding the white house.

Hill and Billary trashed the place, literally. Yhey left garbage all over many offices, rotten food and feces in locked desk drawers, threw away the keys, all the “W” keys removed from keyboards, obscene grafitti on office walls in permanent Sharpie, office doors wouldn’t close, maintenance found some of the missing W” keys super glued to the tops of the doors...I fully expect biden’s crew to do the same, and I’m willing to bet stompy feet dud when he left too. If so, Trump did what bush did, told them to clean it up and just keep quiet about it.

But he hasn’t lost his voice, If he had, 20,000 plus wouldn’t still show up every time he lines up a rally. Was it over 30,000 this time? I can’t remember, over 20,000 is a safe guess...millions view online too.

And as someone else said, I don’t know one person who is not still a strong Trump supporter. I see almost all the Trump signs and flags still up, and some new 2024 sings apperaing recently. I can’t find a biden sign anywhere. Including where I knew they were before the farce of an election. One neighborhood where I went to a couple of yard sales had a half dozen biden signs..not one left 2 weeks after the election. The Trump signs in the same neighborhood still there today.

And the 2024 signs that just appeared recently? Mostly in locations where nothing was before.
