“Trump got to the presidency by accepting all publicity as publicity.”

No, he was elected to go in and change things that needed to be changed and getting America back on course. But he did very little to that end, truth be told. (Appointing judges is in the basic job description definition that befalls every president, it’s the minimum they can do.)
To stir the Dem’s insurrection pot on that day would be akin day to Nixon celebrating his pardon on the anniversary of the Watergate break-in. We’re talking a major self inflicted foot wound.

Uh, hold on a sec...

***You’re changing the direct meaning of what I wrote, and commenting on it. That is a straightforward straw argument.

go in and change things that needed to be changed and getting America back on course.
***Okay, I like that. But it’s not what I was gettin’ at.

But he did very little to that end, truth be told.
***I think he did but he was thwarted. The swamp was deeper than he realized. That means if he’s elected in 2024 he will have a much better idea of who the swampdwellers are.

(Appointing judges is in the basic job description definition that befalls every president, it’s the minimum they can do.)
***I do not understand your parenthetical point. It seems irrelevant.

To stir the Dem’s insurrection pot on that day would be akin [day — SIC? delete?] to Nixon celebrating his pardon on the anniversary of the Watergate break-in.
***I don’t see it that way AT ALL. Nixon did not have hundreds of followers in prison, POLITICAL PRISONERS, without charges a year after he left. Nixon basically tried his best to steal the 1972 election because he was robbed of the 1960 election, even though he won handily in 1972 without any cheating.

We’re talking a major self inflicted foot wound.
***You’re talking of what you perceive to be a possible self-inflictING foot wound IF Trump were to do it, but your reasoning is all askew. Trump won the presidency BY ignoring such yammerings by the lefties. Do ya see that? BY. He was elected BY doing that. I highlighted it so that you wouldn’t be tempted to straw argument again.
