Despite being booted from social media, unfairly impeached twice, the victim of constant harassment and hoaxes and the target of six years of horrific and biased press coverage, Donald Trump remains the only towering figure in the Republican Party. A recent poll showed that 57% of Republicans favored Trump to win the nomination in 2024. His nearest potential challenger registered only 10% support.
With such popularity, it was no surprise that his return to the political stage Saturday night in Greenville, North Carolina was eagerly anticipated. In his triumphant speech, Trump wowed the state’s GOP convention for almost 90 minutes.
It was clear from the beginning of his address that President Trump intends to exercise strong control over the Republican Party. He wants to make sure “America First” Republicans are elected, instead of the establishment types who have led the GOP to recent defeats.
To address the upcoming North Carolina U.S. Senate race, Trump invited his daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, on stage to announce that she was not running for the position due to family commitments. At that point, the President endorsed for the seat U.S. Representative Ted Budd (R-NC), calling him “somebody that you’re going to be so proud of…He will fight like hell.”
As usual, the President enthralled the crowd with a review of his administration’s accomplishments. He touted everything from his border policies to his response to the pandemic.
He also made fun of the current President, mocking him for his “triple fall” on Air Force One. He noted the double standard of coverage by comparing how his slow walk down a ramp at West Point, New York was made a “big story” by the liberal media. In contrast, Trump claimed the media refused to emphasize “the Biden fall, the triple fall, I call it the triple fall.” This was one of the countless instances of media bias toward Trump and favoritism toward Biden.
Trump blistered the foreign policy of the Biden administration claiming that it “has been one shameful and embarrassing foreign policy disaster after another.” He focused on the reversal of his administration’s policy toward Iran and China.
Regarding China, the President suggested that “all nations should work together to present China a bill for a minimum of $10 trillion to compensate for the (pandemic) damage.” He continued, “As a first step, all countries should collectively cancel any debt they owe to China as a down payment on reparations.”
In the early stages of the pandemic, President Trump accurately labeled COVID-19 the “China virus,” because it originated from Wuhan. In response, he was called racist by many of his critics. He was also ridiculed for speculating that the virus was not created in a “wet market,” but in the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
On Saturday night, Trump enjoyed a well-deserved victory lap, stating “The media, the Democrats, and the so-called experts are now finally admitting what I first said 13 months ago. The evidence demonstrates that the virus originated in a Chinese government lab.”
Trump will be proven right about the origins of the virus, as well as his opinion of Dr. Anthony Fauci, the Director of the U.S. National Institute of Allergy, and Infectious Diseases. When he initially criticized Dr. Fauci, many of his detractors were outraged. They wondered how the President could be so mean to such a respected doctor.
However, after the release of thousands of his emails, Dr. Fauci’s deception and lies have been exposed. In his speech, Trump blasted Fauci as “not a great doctor, but a hell of a promoter. He likes television more than any other politician in this room.”
President Trump also addressed the damage being done to our schools and to students at all levels of education by the teaching of “critical race theory.” He said, “Republicans at every level should move to immediately ban critical race theory in schools, and we should ban it in workplaces, we should ban it in our states, and we should ban it in the federal government.” Of course, as President, Donald Trump would forcefully condemn this insidious theory, but such criticism will never come from Joe Biden.
The current President’s lack of leadership is hurting our country in many different areas, including on the streets of our cities. In his speech, President Trump lamented the chaos occurring across America, “As we gather tonight, our country is being destroyed before our very own eyes. Crime is exploding. Police departments are being ripped apart and defunded. Can you believe that?”
Yes, President Trump, it is believable because of the radical policies of the Democrats. Hopefully, the American people will make a course correction in 2022. President Trump expressed his optimism about the upcoming election, “we're going to have a tremendous 2022 just like we did – frankly 2020 think of it: more votes than any sitting president in the history of the United States by far – we had a great election. Bad things happened, but we had a great election.”
According to a recent poll, 61% of Republicans believe the 2020 election was “stolen” from President Trump. On Saturday night, Trump called the 2020 election, “the crime of the century in our country” and claimed that Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook, “broke the law spending millions of dollars.”
For the Republicans to take back control of Congress, there must be fair elections. This is why the electoral reform efforts going on across the country are so critical. As President Trump remarked Saturday night, “We're not going to have a country if you don't have election integrity.”
The themes expressed by President Trump in Greenville, North Carolina are shared by the overwhelming majority of Republicans. Today, the GOP is his party. It is ludicrous to believe that any other Republican would give him a serious challenge for the nomination. If he runs again, he will be the Republican Party’s presidential nominee and, if the 2024 election is fair, he will be elected President of the United States once again.
Donald Dems are a thing.
Which is why the Uniparty had to get rid of Trump.
Trump and MAGA transcend party.
I love this man- i really do.
Cancelling the debt was the idea i always had in making China pay fort he pandemic or at least subtracting from the debt the $$$ damaged they caused. And if they decided to call in the loans now, manipulate the currency, as China does, to make the amount owed fractional.
It will never happen now.
I also love that he’s taking a page out of Alinsky and using the term “reparations”.
Donald Trump represents us, not a party.
I already heard that Fox News was too chicken to broadcast Trumps speech.
Not a huge surprise.
Was it on YouTube, or have they censored him too?
In my opinion, conservatives are more about meritocracy and results, so a candidate that would do things no other President even considered actually doing (moving the embassy to Jerusalem, withdrawing from the Paris Climate Accord, reducing the size of the Federal Register, building a wall, and enforcing immigration laws) is far more appealing to us than his personality traits.
Worship of personality traits (especially shallow displays meant to deceive) is a Leftist characteristic that shows how vulnerable they are to a “Dear Leader” like Stalin, Castro, Chavez, or...Obama.
Not saying there aren’t a lot of conservatives who don’t like Trump’s middle fingers to those who unfairly persecute him (because many of us greatly appreciate that) but it is his ability to get things done that we admire.
Trump’s willingness to call out the Left and the Deep State/Uniparty without mealy-mouthed equivocation is icing on the cake, and tasty icing at that.
That is why so many conservatives admire him, not because he is well spoken and projects like a politician.
We actually are repulsed by that after eight years of Obama who showed us just how worthless those things are when something needs doing.
Around here there is rampant political fickleness where folks turn on a narrow single issue dime. Purity of belief is valued more than the welfare of America
I would love to get ex CV ited again but the uniparty stole the last election and got away with it. They will brazenly do it again.
It is ludicrous to believe that any other Republican would give him a serious challenge for the nomination. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
The RINOS in combination with lefty Dems mean to use control of the Media and the web to contain Trumps message to the public.
Trump hater, Rino Paul Ryan sits on the board of Fox News.
Battle lines are being drawn. Trump will be refused access to the public. His inspiring message will not be allowed to reach the voters, and in blue states, the election laws will be stacked against Trump.
These are huge obstacles for President Trump to overcome.And time is running out.
He needs to gain free and fair access to the public to gain re-election. And the sooner that battle starts, the better. His wonderful message will not be enough, His control of the Republican party will not be enough.This cannot be business as usual.
A huge breakthrough to access the general public will be necessary.President Trump nop longer can rely on Fox News. That is clear. And no chance for Twitter or Facebook.
True-By now, Trump supporters have detached themselves from the increasingly Anti-American and dishonest narratives of both 'parties'.
Anyway-both parties are just global, money-laundering, criminal organizations.
No true American sees that approach to political representation as legitimate, honorable or even ‘representative’!!
The only reason two parties still exist is to give voters the illusion of choice.
That bothers me greatly too. Thanks for pointing that out.
We as conservatives (and I include myself in that criticism because I occasionally fall prey to it as well) tend to view every damned issue as a litmus test for determining if someone is a conservative or not, forgetting that if everything is a focused litmus test that rules one in or out of a larger category such as “conservative” then it makes it utterly impossible to have any agreement whatsoever of what conservatism is.
Granted, we have core values (many codified in the Bill of Rights and the Constitution) but there is room for disagreement and still be on the same team (as either Conservatives and/or Americans) and we forget that sometimes, to our detriment.
Good point.
You’re right, it is our Party under Trump. But that is only as long as we have him. The Rats are relentless in their quest to destroy him. And as always, the slugs in the GOP are waiting to help them. I’ll believe to my death that our biggest problem will always be the GOPee, not the RATS
Back in the day the GOP was THE pro worker pro protectionist party. We need that back.
About ten hour video here. Noem speaks at front, Trump way over toward the end.
Thanks
It’s Donald Trump’s Party
Media kicks dogs and cats spit in kids faces and scratch every car they pass.
