President Trump revealed many things. The most important in my view were the Rinos and Deep state.

Anyone who doesn’t appreciate the good things President Trump has done for our country is either very stupid, terribly in need of education, or a voter who relies upon emotion rather than an objective evaluation of the bottom line.

Trump plays to win... There are no clean hands in a fistfight…Trump is unreservedly, unquestionably pro-America…

Trump is a refreshing break from the guilt and self-loathing that marks our age…

“Trump said Haiti is a shithole and that representative Maxine Waters has a low IQ.”

Correct...and Correct.

The left and the media have done their best to magnify and to manufacture THEIR OWN flaws.

FIFY

Amen. I understand that those that have not yet come of age may have needed something like this, but any adult that was 25 or older in 2016 and still thought Trump’s Presidency was a bad thing, is an idiot. Period.

I’m glad to have idiots join non-idiots in supporting Trump, but you’d think once he realized how wrong he was, he’d put down the pen and listen a little more instead of publishing. I hope the article converts some other people who are somehow on the fence; be they younger or just plain idiotic too.

Trump smoked rats out of hiding places. Because of Trump we know our intelligence agencies are corrupt. We know also that the mainstream media is not just biased, that it is the propaganda arm of the Democratic party.

Trump's a keeper...

Never forget. While they may hate Trump it is us they are after. Trump is theonly President in my memory that stood up for the things we believe in and that is mainly why they hate him.

Mark Levin read the article on Friday’s program and he has it pinned to his website so it is going to be heard by a lot of people.

Quite honestly, I like Trump’s nasty side. I’m sick of pussies and cowards. This nation needs massive toxic masculinity.

We need real men, not pussies and theives.

Trump is a good man. He’s brash and he’s uncooth at times.

He has been known on the streets of New York, as a man with
a top level existence, who loves to mingle with the common
man. They like him on the street. Look away from the paid
bused in protesters. They aren’t the real men on the street.
Trump’s friends there are.

With Trump you know where you stand. He will tell you in
no uncertain terms. He will let you have it one minute,
and have forgotten about it the next. He doesn’t hold
grudges, unless he’s dealing with a person who does.

Trump deserves our support. If I worked for him and then
didn’t, and he made a negative public statement about me,
I would release a statement that went something like this.

I worked for Trump and I no longer do. He has recently
made comments that are not complimentary to me. It
doesn’t matter. The nation does.

People don’t always agree. He and I differed on an issue
and I no longer work for him. That doesn’t really matter
either.

This nation needs Trump. It doesn’t need me.

It is nice to have the support of people you support, but
that isn’t always possible. I worked for Trump and I can
tell you he cares about this nation. In today’s
environment, that is key, so few (and yes little)
politicians do.

Trump may not support me in the future. I will always
support him and what he is trying to do.

He’s not doing it for himself.

He is doing it for you whether you realize it or not.

Your life and the life of your progeny depends on him,
more than you realize.

[[I allowed my distaste for Trump’s personality to override his virtues,]]

a number of people have been living in darkness- allowing emotions to form their opinions instead of looking at their records and what it means for the country- they put their emotions first- -

Trump has done a tremendous amount for this country- under intense vehement opposition from both the left, and the ugly never-Trumpers in the party- The left and the Rinos in our party can’t stand how successful he is- and they are jealous of his popularity- which is why they constantly falsely attempt to downplay it-

Thank you Mr. Matthews.
Good to see the words you have written.
You, at last, understand how MAGA folks have seen him from the beginning. DJT is not damaged, he is not flawed. DJT is the ideal man needed for this time. This is His Hand viewed in our time.

As much as I dislike his propensity for mean tweets and prevarications, I could vote for him again in 2024.

It's his style, that New York style, that most Texans (like me) don't care for. I'm over the stylistics, the performance of his administration towers over that of Biden, or whoever runs in 2024.

My standard rejoinder to TDS is "you must also think the Federalist Papers is another brand of doobie rolling papers."

Said that joke in the presence of my 11 YO grandson who said, "Opa, I saw Hamilton, and he wrote 50 or 51 of the Federalist Papers." Nothing gets by that kid.

yeah, I’m not yet convinced. The media already knows how to attack PDJT and what buttons to push. I havent seen any evidence that he understands how they attacked him and why he lost in 2020. Did they cheat? YES. Did they get away with it? YES. Did PDJT do anything to prevent it when he had the chance? NO. He surrounded himself with celebrities ‘conservatives’ and assorted back stabbers. He’d be better off promoting as a kingmaker. He’s going to make the same mistakes and they’re going to tell the same lies with the same amount of success. Lets not keep making the same mistakes and expecting different results.

Keeping an open mind. There’s still plenty of time to decide. I’ll still vote for him if he’s on the ticket.

I have said this before but I need to repeat myself.

When he ran for President, I was dismayed. My main thought was having another candidate that will say the right platitudes to gain the support of the base and "if" he is the nominee or "if" he won, then he would be another Bush, McCain, Romney. I was gladly wrong.

My other main concern was my only exposure to Trump was what I saw of him on television before he ran for President. I foolishly believed that while he may know real estate, he sounded bufoonish. I was gladly wrong again when he handily defeated 16 "established" politicians.

After winning the nomination, I was still not onboard until in early October 2016, I listened to a speech at one of his rallies. I say listened vice watched because that's what I did - I was lying on the bed while he spoke. The first 5 minutes or so of the speech was the red meat stuff. Slamming Hillary, slamming the Dems, slamming the media, praising and thanking the people that were there. Then he started listing what he wanted to do. He spoke specifics. I thought I never heard a candidate speak specifics, always platitudes. Then I found out he was doing 3-5 rallies A DAY while Hillary was doing 1 per week. From that moment on, I was a Trump supporter. My apologies for coming late to the party.

In 2020, I was abolutely convinced he would crush Biden. Than the cheat occurred and now I am not so sure it would not happen again. That worries me.

I try to tell people that say they do not like the way he speaks so they do not think he is "presidential." I try to use the analogy of what kind of plumber you want when all your drains are clogged. Do you want someone who will talk nice, not swear or curse yet unable to fix the problem or do you want your drains cleared and the crap removed. I would want a plumber that knows what he is doing? I have been burned more than once by contractors that come out saying and sounding like a Christian yet screws me in the end. The only thing that bothers me about Trump is he does not seem to be good in picking people for his cabinet or other positions. Being retired military, I would pick those who retired or forced to retire as O-5/6's. Good enough to make it that far but not to flag rank because they just don't fit in or have the political mojo.

Just my thougts on how and why I like President Trump.
