Last week, we asked the listeners of the Ringside Politics program to nominate their “Heroes” and “Zeroes” of 2020. This is an annual exercise that always elicits excellent nominations. This year was no exception as 2020 has been eventful, disturbing, and extremely challenging. Everyone is eagerly anticipating the arrival of 2021 and the hope of better times ahead.
Over the past year, a multitude of people distinguished themselves as “Zeroes,” but very few took the type of courageous action necessary to be identified as “Heroes.” In this extremely elite group, one person stood alone, President Donald Trump, so it is only right that he received the overwhelming majority of votes from our audience.
While our listeners appreciated his leadership, President Trump was denounced and maligned by powerful forces throughout the year. The mainstream media continued to treat him as an enemy and coverage of the President was almost uniformly harsh and negative.
The president was attacked not only by the media but also by every conceivable element of the Deep State. After facing a three-year, phony, Russian collusion investigation, the president was subjected to an impeachment hoax. This outrage was engineered by a leaker, who was politically motivated to create a firestorm that eventually resulted in the president’s impeachment.
Thankfully, the president was acquitted, but the whole episode was a needless distraction and another way for the Deep State to attack the Trump agenda. It was inflicted on the president despite a “perfect” phone call to the Ukrainian president.
Of course, there should have been an investigation related to Ukraine, but it should have revolved around former Vice President Joe Biden’s threats to withhold U.S. loan guarantees until the prosecutor investigating his son was fired. Fortunately for Biden, powerful Democrats are immune to prosecution from a Department of Justice that has been used to target President Trump and his allies.
Once the president survived impeachment, he was immediately thrust into the Covid-19 pandemic. Displaying extraordinary leadership, he created the Coronavirus Task Force and spearheaded the effort resulting in the manufacturing of tremendous supplies of personal protective equipment for healthcare workers and ventilators for patients in serious condition.
His “Operation Warp Speed” has been universally credited, even by Biden, for the creation of several vaccines that were approved for widespread use in record time. This will possibly save millions of lives; however, the President receives mostly condemnation from the media and his innumerable political enemies for his handling of the pandemic.
Due to Trump’s leadership, our economy came roaring back from the depths of the Covid-19 recession by Election Day and the American people rewarded the president with over 74 million votes. It broke the record for most votes for a sitting president and was 11 million more votes than he received in 2016.
Clearly, he won the election, but it was stolen from him by corrupt Democrats in a variety of swing states. As the president fights this electoral fraud, the base of the Republican Party is solidly behind his efforts. Not surprisingly, the power structure in D.C. is opposing him at every turn. His legal challenges have been dismissed at every level of the judiciary, including the Supreme Court. He is also not receiving much support in Congress and practically none in the U.S. Senate.
Sadly, this is nothing new for the president. He withstood opposition in Congress to support the Keystone pipeline and our oil and gas industry, which resulted in our country becoming energy independent for the first time in decades. With no help from Congress, the president secured funding to build a 450-mile wall on the southern border.
The president also negotiated four peace deals with Israel and former enemies in the Arab world, as well as a historic agreement between Kosovo and Serbia. For his remarkable accomplishments, the president received four Nobel Peace Prize nominations.
While he destroyed the ISIS caliphate and ordered military operations that killed several terrorist leaders, the president wants to bring our troops home and end the endless wars. This “America First” platform fulfills his campaign promise, but it has generated tremendous opposition among the military industrial complex and the political establishment of both parties.
While the powerful insiders in Washington D.C. want war, President Trump wants peace through strength. He has rebuilt our military because he does not want to use it unnecessarily in far-flung places around the globe.
Only President Trump could have accomplished what he did in 2020, the finest year of his remarkable term. No other president has faced as many enemies as Donald Trump, as he received constant attacks from the Democrats, the Deep State, and foreign leaders, even from many that are supposedly U.S. “allies.”
What is truly remarkable is that the president was regularly criticized and opposed by congressional Republicans, even though he is tremendously popular with the rank-and-file membership of the GOP. Too many Republican leaders have lost their connection with their constituents and are beholden to the Washington D.C. bureaucracy and powerful special interest groups. The president is a threat to the D.C. establishment and the tenured class in the Beltway hate Donald Trump for what he has done to challenge their power.
As usual, the president and his 74+ million deplorables are together, while the swamp is firmly against them. If he does not succeed in his electoral challenges and must leave office, he should exit in a blaze of glory.
His veto of the defense bill and his stated opposition to the horrible coronavirus relief package show the American people his commitment to his promises. The president wants the American people to receive relief, but Congress wants to cram the bill with unacceptable pork and give crumbs to the suffering pandemic victims.
No other president would have stood up for the American people and taken on Congress and the Deep State. As usual, President Trump stands alone, which is why he has earned our Ringside Politics Hero of the Year award.
You are not alone and still the only lawful President.
It is our turn to fight for you President Trump.
See you on Lexington Green.
Both barrel blazing!
“Everyone is eagerly anticipating the arrival of 2021 and the hope of better times ahead.”
I haven’t read very far into the article, but that line is complete BS. I have more dread of 2021 than any year of my life and I turn 70 in seven months. Watching the nation getting turned over to rabid communists and the behemoth, oppressive government trampling on 80 million citizens does not give me any hope.
He was right about the swamp.
He was right about taxes and regulation.
He was right about NATO.
He was right about energy independence.
He was right about foreign policy.
He was right to end the wars.
He was right about immigration.
He was right about defense.
He was right about China.
He was right about spying on his campaign.
He was right about travel bans.
He was right about HCQ.
He was right about UV light.
He was right about the vaccine.
He was right about the voting fraud.
He was right about Biden corruption.
The media was wrong about all of these, yet here we are.
I have more dread of 2021 than any year of my life and I turn 70
You have a few years on me, but I share your pessimism. I wish I did not, but I do.
Trump won’t leave office on Jan.20 - the office of president will become defunct.
There may be an ersatz president but the only real President will be DJT.
So take your bogus election and shove it.
See you on Lexington Green.
I don’t worry so much about myself, but worry about my kids and grandkids...and all other freedom-loving patriots.
A message from President Trump to each of us; please share with others.
Never Ever Give Up

I’ve never seen a Republican President work harder for Republican Congressional Candidates.
Which is amazing because Trump isn’t a lifelong Republican.
Yet many of those candidates still refuse to back trump.
According to Dante(see Devine Comedy) the 9th circle of hell, is reserved for those who betray their benefactors.
Many phony Trump supporting Republicans, will have R.V.S.P. Invitations waiting for them.

“Many phony Trump supporting Republicans, will have R.V.S.P. Invitations waiting for them.”
If Trump does leave office in January, the phony Trump supporting politicians will discover in 2022 the base has walked away from them and simply won’t vote. No more voting for the “lesser of two evils”. Evil is evil, no matter how it is dressed or labeled.
He was truly the “We the People” President and probably the last one we will see in our lifetime.
Agreed President Trump is a true hero. He’s always put the American people first.
If republicans don’t support him they are RINOS.
President Trump is MAGA !!!
Good summary but he has even more positives going for him.
He will go down ,after 2024 , as a GREAT president.

Thread: WE ARE NEARING PEAK DISINFORMATION WARFARE & IF YOU’RE GULLIBLE & STUPID, IT’S WORKING PERFECTLY.
One of the reasons I do these Threads is to try & keep people from drowning in despair, fear or rage from all the FEAR & HATE Porn “NEWS” they consume on a daily basis.
When the Silicon Valley Oligarchs realized from internal studies that they can get CONSUMERS (that’s YOU) to click/view their PRODUCTS (Soap, Cars, Gadgets, NEWS)
by using FEAR, ANGER, LUST, JEALOUSY, etc in their Stories/Narratives we began our downward spiral into madness.
Great video—thanks. I’m down there somewhere in that crowd in the aerial pic over DC.
Tagline adjustment.
In my humble opinion the defining moment of Trump’s presidency occurred in Lafayette Park and in front of St. John’s Episcopal Church in June of this year.
In America we are free to worship with others in person.
