Trump, it seems, is not merely interested this time around in draining the swamp... He will not be content with just finishing the unfinished work of truly making America great again.
Rather, he has a greater goal in mind: He is trying to foster an intergenerational legacy and solidify MAGA as America's dominant early-to-mid-21st-century political movement.
American history has often been defined by political movements that dominate not merely a singular eponymous presidency but a broader epoch.
There was the protectionist "American System" of Henry Clay. There was Jacksonian populism. There was the era of the welfare state, epitomized by Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal and Lyndon Johnson's Great Society.
There was the laissez-faire "Washington Consensus" of the late-20th-century Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton presidencies.
Now, Trump wants MAGA to be the defining political movement of our own era.
And why not? Trump has already secured the most racially, ethnically and religiously diverse winning presidential coalition in modern Republican Party history.
He has made historical inroads with Hispanic voters, Black men and voters under the age of 35 — the very groups that formed the core of Barack Obama's own twice-victorious presidential coalition.
He has managed to maintain an economic appeal to everyone from billionaire entrepreneurs like Musk to Sean O'Brien, the Teamsters president who gave a primetime speech at this summer's Republican National Convention.
There are already numerous high-profile former Democrats, such as Gabbard and RFK Jr., who have been tapped to Cabinet-level posts.
Obama's one-time "coalition of the ascendant" has, in fact, descended. It has crashed and burned, and the modern Democratic Party is nothing less than vanquished.
And what has risen in its stead? That would be the movement that delivered Republicans their first national popular vote win in two decades: MAGA.

Let's not squander this!
A key to the future of MAGA is first of all PATRIOTS DEFINING OUR TERMS and being clear about our GOALS AND OBJECTIVES.
What is draining the swamp” (nobody defines what the swamp” is)?
The swamp” is nothing less than the $3+ trillion unconstitutional portion of the federal gov’t.
What is the unfinished work of truly making America great again?
To answer that you must first answer, “What made America great” in the first place?
The Constitution with the foundation of the Declaration of Independence are considered the greatest political documents ever created.
They’re not prefect but they’re way ahead of whatever’s in second place, and the protection the Constitution gives to individual freedom is what made America great.
In the 1800’s, federal spending was around 5% to 6% of the GDP. America in the 1800’s was considered one of the freest societies in the whole sad history of man. America went into the 1800’s as a bunch of rag-tag colonies but that free society emerged from the 1800’s as the strongest nation in the world.
Gov’t didn’t do that, individual freedom FROM gov’t protected by the US Constitution did that.
The retarded far-left 50% are going to get a GREAT AMERICA whether those maggots want one or not.
It really is like MAGmA... permanently altering the landscape. 🌋
Just before this article had been posted, I was comparing these two "unrelated" word neighbors in Klein's etymological dictionary:
Can't put toothpaste back into the tube..מְגַמָּה f.n. 1 direction, destination (a hapax legomenon in the Bible, occurring Hab. 1:9 in the phrase מְגַמַּת־פְּנֵיהֶם, ‘the direction of their faces’). NH 2 tendency. Derivative: מְגַמָּתִי.
מַגְמָה f.n. FW magma. [Gk. magma (= a thick unguent), from masso (= I squeeze, press into a mold, knead). See מַסָּה (= mass).]
And if the far left miscreants don’t like that, they can move to any Marxist banana republic of their choice.
Here to stay...
Like the TEA party...
Trump can’t serve another term, unless they change an Amendment.
Why would we want Trump to serve another term? If anything draining the swamp means MORE TERM LIMITS not less.
What is in fact, more in line with the spirit of the above article, is the fact Trump chose someone very young to be his VP - JD Vance. Now, Vance is no Trump that’s for sure. His personality will be different as well as his role...Should he run for president, the landscape he’ll be facing is unpredictable.
But either way, picking Vance was generational foresight on Trump’s part.
