Strong leaders cannot carry the weight of history from their knees.
After four years with a mumbling fool stumbling around in the role of “president,” we have a strong communicator back in the White House. The difference is striking.
While President Trump was simultaneously signing executive orders and answering questions from the press on his first day back on the job, he suggested to those in attendance that he might have taken more questions in those first few hours than Joe Biden had taken during all four years in office. The assembled journalists seemed to quietly concur. Joe’s handlers spent every minute protecting him from even the most trivial journalistic inquiries; President Trump handles hostile questions while juggling ten other things at once. Consequently, the first hundred hours of Trump’s restored presidency were historic.
President Reagan was the “Great Communicator,” and no honest listener could doubt that deserved appellation. Reagan’s unique combination of eloquence, strength, and wit made him a formidable adversary for anyone who got in his way. Reagan could be pithy or expansive as the occasion demanded, and some of his sharpest verbal attacks required only a few words. He summed up his entire Cold War strategy in just four: “We win; they lose.” It worked.
President Trump achieves much with concise rhetoric, too. Only six days after Republican backstabber Mitt Romney lost a winnable election to Barack Obama in 2012, Donald Trump signed his name to an application seeking trademark approval for his four-word strategy for igniting a political revolution: “Make America Great Again.”
That’s a fascinating glimpse into his long-term thinking. Before Romney repeatedly tried to sabotage Trump’s campaign and presidency, he begged Trump for an endorsement. Trump obliged and privately gave Romney some advice on how to win the 2012 election.

President Trump will be stirring up the hornet’s nest of deep state saboteurs.
All eviscerated by our fake “communicators”, the press.
And, all from the Right, too (if you consider Trump Right).
I am not sure the Left can ever run a real President, again. The Kenyan was a fake who was ignorant. The POTATUS was a drug-addled fake. The Left now runs the country exclusively from a smoke-filled room. This doesn’t allow for much communication.
Encouraging the boys to be resilient, he charged them to “never give in! Never, never, never, never — in nothing, great or small, large or petty — never give in, except to convictions of honor and good sense. Never yield to force. Never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.”
Churchill of all people knew those boys were going to have to put that charge into practice. He knew it sometime around the time those boys were being born.
Reading Churchill’s speeches is an education in itself
