Please don’t interpret this as an attack - BUT

I used to think a lot like you, but please consider Trump as the supreme commander in a very bitter and long war.

That isn’t hyperbole - that is the truth.

The man and his family, his reputation, his entire life and legacy have been shit on by some of the most evil, calculated, sick and depraved people the world has ever known.

I have come to the opinion - let the man lead this fight however he chooses, and back him - back him like your life depends on it, because you know what? It does.

Time and again he has proven to be correct in his strategy. Either through his genius or purely divine intervention - we have a man that will fight for the forgotten, silent majority - a brave and flawed man. So many of us have cried out for that for decades!

If we back him enough, in public, on twitter etc - maybe we will ride through some of this turbulence and the world will have its beacon of hope the USA fully restored.

If he fails - for me, it will be because the silent majority stayed silent, when they had their greatest opportunity to raise their voice. It just won’t happen again.

Said with respect....

No offense taken. I agree 100% with you.

What I am talking about are tactics, not strategy. 3 1/2 weeks before the election using this type of rhetoric (even though it is said about a plain old-fashioned WH-RE) feeds into the ‘Rats “anti-womyn” get-out-the-vote narrative. Yes, it is bitingly hilarious. But is it helpful?

I am well-familiar with the tactic of taunting your opponent gratuitously (especially when they deserve it). I have done it may times (but almost always regretted it later).

Now I’ll grant you that POTUS does NOTHING that he hasn’t thought out (unlike me, when he says something like this it ISN’T because he has lost his temper).

It just makes me a little uneasy, .. though I almost always defer to his judgment ... even when it just doesn’t look helpful at first ... still ... I wouldn’t have done it ... (used that word .. the rest of the tweet is fine by me) ...

I was struck by Trump's speech on Grant v. Lee, and it got me wondering if he didn't identify with Grant as a great leader despite setbacks and personal flaws. I think he does, and your post nicely informs that view.
