Former President Donald Trump told thousands of supporters in Commerce, Georgia, on Saturday night that while his critics faulted his “personality,” it was his personality that kept the U.S. out of war for the four years he was in office.
Trump was referring to the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine, which President Joe Biden failed to deter, and which he is currently in Europe trying to contain.

He’s right about that. All this whining about mean tweets — I saw the wholeness of it throughout. Now the country seriously needs those mean tweets again.
Really. That is a bit much.
On the whole, I agree with him.
Yeah, can't argue with that!!
;>)
Similar to Reagan.
The commies thought he was just crazy enough to push the button.
Re: 16 - You had better be prepared to get flamed for that post by some.
Trump got us out of what was a bad deal with Iran - negotiated by career politicians. Biden’s ‘team’ is trying to cut an even worse ‘deal’ than the first.
Irrespective of what one may or may not feel about Trump, it’s a losing hand to argue for the job that’s been done by the political establishment - on either side of the ‘aisle’ (more like a giant ideological gulf these days).
There should be no career politicians. None. Having them is antithetical to the spirit of the Constitution, and ensures corruption.
He made America safer and strong it’s why the left hates him no money in for their scams.
Joey gives finger counts his money Hunter winks.
He knows biden is playing both sides of the fence. He is using OUR money to fund this war. For his and other politicians benefits. He would still be buying oil from Russia if ukraine didn’t call him out.
On the Money.
Unfortunately his jerk personality caused the Republicans to lose the house in 2018 despite peace and prosperity which resulted in his partisan bogus impeachment later. It also drove millions of voters to vote against him in 2020
Trump has had the right policies on many issues but his jerk personality has worked against him politically, He is his own worse enemy. But he cant change. His Narcissistic Personality Disorder wont let him.
Symptoms
Signs and symptoms of narcissistic personality disorder and the severity of symptoms vary. People with the disorder can:
Have an exaggerated sense of self-importance
Have a sense of entitlement and require constant, excessive admiration
Expect to be recognized as superior even without achievements that warrant it
Exaggerate achievements and talents
Be preoccupied with fantasies about success, power, brilliance, beauty or the perfect mate
Believe they are superior and can only associate with equally special people
Monopolize conversations and belittle or look down on people they perceive as inferior
Expect special favors and unquestioning compliance with their expectations
Take advantage of others to get what they want
Have an inability or unwillingness to recognize the needs and feelings of others
Be envious of others and believe others envy them
Behave in an arrogant or haughty manner, coming across as conceited, boastful and pretentious
Insist on having the best of everything — for instance, the best car or office
At the same time, people with narcissistic personality disorder have trouble handling anything they perceive as criticism, and they can:
Become impatient or angry when they don’t receive special treatment
Have significant interpersonal problems and easily feel slighted
React with rage or contempt and try to belittle the other person to make themselves appear superior

Amazing, all I heard before Trump took office was that he was going to start WWIII.
Well WWIII may start, but Trump has nothing to do with it.
Oh. I am used to it.
Yep. Greatest President ever and soon to return. He knows we are tired of waiting.
Trump also reached out to the Black and Latino communities in a way most GOPee politicians would not. He reinstated and tripled funding for HBCUs after Obama zeroed that funding out. He also signed into law the 2018 tax bill that ensured numerous economic empowerment zones in distressed areas, some of which helped out Black urban communities. It wouldn’t surprise me if some Latino areas, such as East L.A., benefited from these zones as well. He also signed the First Step Act into law, which evened out the penalties for crack cocaine vs. powder, ending a disparate impact in federal drug sentencing for Black people.
If he had been re-elected, we would have seen him attempting to implement his Platinum Plan, which was intended to foster up to 500,000 new Black-owned businesses. In the summer of 2020, he announced a similar plan for the Latino community. Meanwhile, the GOPee was probably sitting back, muttering “why bother; they’ll never vote for us,” and all that.
True, and sadly, he wasn’t very good at choosing people. I liked the man, and voted for him twice, but he picked some real fungus to run his administration. I’m surprised there was room in his back for all those knives.
A politician should not be our President. The experience is we need a CEO for America Inc., who supports our Capitalist ideals and totally understand global business. That’s why Trump was great.
In a contest between him and Biden - who, by the way, also checks off most or all of those items on your list — I’d rather have Trump’s boorish self back in office. Whatever his ego, he at least seemed to want to act in the interest of our country.
I agree, Trump was the best President in my lifetime. I agree that most politicians are grifters.
I disagree that teachers want something for nothing. I went to college to become an English teacher. I quickly realized I could earn more money in the private sector for half the effort. Not surprisingly, I have used my teaching skills at every position over the course of my career.
