Bore! Donald Trump has gone and lost his swing
New York Post ^ | November 12, 2022 | Michael Goodwin

Posted on 11/13/2022 5:00:29 AM PST by karpov

For Donald Trump, politics and entertainment are intertwined and often synonymous. His remarkable success at both makes his latest missteps especially puzzling because Trump is committing the cardinal sin of both: He’s become boring.

The ultimate shock jock is now predictable. Wind him up and watch him throw a garbage can full of insults at anyone who won’t kiss the ring. Ho-hum.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin are getting the Trump treatment now. Both are rising Republican stars, so naturally the former president trashes and demeans them. Can’t be competition for top dog.

Long gone is the time when Trump brought fresh blood to the old and tired Republican Party. “Low energy Jeb” brilliantly ended the career of a nominee-in-waiting, and his demolition of Hillary Clinton saved America from a disaster.

Trump’s was a consequential presidency that was far better for America and its global allies than anything produced by his predecessor or his successor. His Operation Warp Speed delivered a COVID-19 vaccine in record time, America was more prosperous and the world was safer and more stable with him in the Oval Office.

Trump achieved those gains despite a corrupt FBI, a conspiratorial Deep State, a rabid media and impeachment-obsessed Dems. He deserved a second term and, had he let his America First policies do the talking, would have had one.

Even after his reckless efforts to overturn the 2020 election and the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, enough goodwill remained that victory in a 2024 primary and the general election remained possible. But Trump’s conduct in his post-presidency has been so erratic that a declining slice of voters hungers for his return.

RE: EverTrumpers. No, they cannot take it, anymore than their god can.

Bearing false witness is a big NO in my GOD'S Book. You are treading on thin ice, bro.

“That’s Biden’s plan... have you looked at his ‘economic choices’? Biden’s following the commie hellhole path - like North Korea, Cuba, the old USSR and China. China alone lost hundreds of millions of citizens to starvation... In North Korea grandparents would starve to death to give their grandchildren a chance for a few more weeks of life. Economic pain IS the commie/totalitarian/democrat weirdo way. So please don’t go down that road. Leave that one to ‘the liberals’. History will remember - just like we know of the millions commies put to death by starvation.”

I can’t stop an economic deflation and neither can you.

So I’m not going down any road, just stating that economic contractions have changed people throughout US history.

Instead of telling horror stories about what foreign countries did or are doing.IMO a better use of time would be to study US economic history.

I’ll give you three to start with.

1) The panic of 1837
2) The long depression 1873-1893
3) The great depression

As far as communist ideologues murdering millions of people in foreign countries.
I can’t do anything about it.....it already happened and it was in foreign countries where even if I were alive during that time period .......

“I still wouldn’t have been able to do anything about it.”

To set the record straight regarding who was responsible for cleaning up FLORIDA’S voter roles...

Floridians did it, because PRESIDENT TRUMP raised up a red state. DESANTIS built upon the MAGA foundation that was laid.

He should have waited for the midterm results and made the announcement AFTER.

The midterm elections are over, with the exception of Walker.

Bearing false witness has been a big thing with Dems all along.

How is my statement so terrible? Any worse than directly personally being called a liar and a traitor, etc?

I’m not a bro, despite trannie dominance.

Peace upon you.

I just get so frustrated about people who insist on beating up others whom they see as not “pure” enough.

You and I probably see that. We should all try to be more civil.

It really is bad we seem to do a lot of in-fighting.

I’m referring to his pre-election announcement that he was going to make a special announcement on 11/16 from Mar-A-Largo.

Didn’t you refer to Godfearing people as Trumpers worshipping their god?

LOL

Hey, can’t we all just get along?

Bottom line, we’ll vote for Trump. We don’t just see him as the best avenue, that is all.

Who says TRUMP’S announcement is going to concern his 2024 candidacy? All he said was people will be very happy. Quit opining without facts.

It’s a metaphor. Hyperbole.

People are seriously acting like Trump is a god who does no wrong.

What is so terrible about that? It’s common metaphor used many times for people who are obsessed or people who seem like the best.

And how do you or I know they are “God-fearing”?
