Thank you for your thoughts!
As I understood it, Trump had a very clear but rather limited agenda which impelled him to run. Once elected, we saw him try to implement that exact agenda most of which was frustrated by the Rino/Dem coalition.
+ Number ONE- Take care of the vets!
Trump never wanted to hold office, he just got frustrated at politicians who would not even talk to him at banquets and fund raisers about vet issues. Those that did made so many broken promises that he decided he had to do it himself. I will tell you this was an unqualified success. He got this done. Got it done first, immediately, and it was done so well that the changes continue to this day.
++ Number TWO- The wall (and have Mexico pay for it)! The POTUS sincerely thought that the GOPe would help with this. All the compromises and staffing issues that today are derided by us, are perfectly reasonable in light of his true agenda. Laz, this is exactly like Reagan, who compromised on budget and deficit spending because he had to do one thing first. He had one job, namely, to win the cold war! But whereas president number 40 was completely successful in his one job, number 45 was not successful in securing the border. He really tried. I cannot imagine what he could have done differently even in hindsight. Everyone has forgotten that he proposed Romney as SecState, which also was very Reaganesque. Everyone has also forgotten that Reagan announced Richard Schweiker as his running mate in 1976, continuing the same compromise strategy to give us Bush 41.
+++ Number THREE- Trade. Energy. Bring manufacturing back to the US! Again, I say he really tried, but the Rinos would have none of it. We liked some things that were done, it was looking good, and he might have...(sigh)...anyway that is all gone now, so quickly, y’know.
Please correct me Laz, or anyone. I have no inside knowledge.
The Dimmwitcrats know what they are doing, and they believe it to be a necessary evil. Trump is “an existential threat” because he is a “climate change denier”. They must implement their climate agenda AT ALL COSTS, before it is too late. They know that the energy restrictions will be so painful the people will never ever go for it. Who cares about honest elections if the planet burns up? We’re all gonna die, so Trump must be stopped.
The Rinos know what they are doing, and they believe it to be a necessary evil. They are sure that Trump does not understand what Russia is doing and how Putin will destroy the US dollar. He even thinks he can negotiate with the ChiComs. They must save the financial system from this man who has the power to sway the people against the “endless wars”. Any theoretical debate by us over the petrodollar system is irrelevant if this is what the Rinos believe. Trump knows that climate change is a con, a scam.
Trump knows we can win in a post petrodollar world.
Therefore, he is an enemy who must be destroyed,
Please correct me.
The Democrats are trying to save planet earth.
The Rinos are trying to save the money system.
We are trying to save the enumerated rights in the Constitution. A noble goal, truly, but a doomed one without God’s help, because we can never play dirty, we can never play to win. Abraham Lincoln suspended the Bill of Rights so he could win the war, and he trusted himself to put everything back right again, after victory. Maybe he would have, but I doubt it.
A good, thoughtful post
