Interesting perspective.
My vote for Trump in 2016 was basically a last-gasp throwaway. American politics, which had given us a wide range of leaders over the years, had dumped the absolute dregs on us. It was getting difficult to even recognize which one was the “lesser of evils” guy. If the hildebeast prevailed the nation I revered would be no more.
Trump has exceeded every expectation and I can’t wait to pull the lever for him again. He isn’t a politician and doesn’t pretend to be. He is a statesman who is righting the ship of state.
The problem with analogies is that they are almost always force-fit and thus inapt. I don’t think Trump harbors any illusions as to his status quo or his mission. Whether putative king or usurper to the throne, he is the consummate outsider rejecting the long established (dis)order. Should he miss the mark it won’t be for lack of trying. And I’ve never seen anyone continue to gain ground with as many dragging at him.
“A Republic, if you can keep it”
Thumbs up on your post as it comes close to the reason I was so relieved when he finally, for real, declared that he was a candidate for the presidential election. His exposure of the Deep State and the tentacles it has throughout our US government, as well as foreign governments, has been just in time to possibly save this Republic from a globalist, one world govt. God bless Pres Trump and all of those loyal, patriotic Americans who are working to help him accomplish what he does for American independence and this Republic.
