Trump, the self-proclaimed peacemaker, should channel and exceed his inner Reagan
The Hill ^ | 11/18/2024 | Ivana Nikolić Hughes

Posted on 11/18/2024 11:47:56 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

The early analyses of Trump’s victory have focused almost exclusively on the perceived abandonment of the working class by increasingly corporatist Democrats and the Trump-Vance ticket’s successful embrace of the plight of those who have been left behind by the global economy and the rising inequalities in our society. The culture wars have also been thrown into the mix. While these issues have certainly played a significant role in the decisive loss, Trump was able to claim another attribute traditionally reserved for the Democratic Party, that of being anti-war. We have no doubt that this association contributed to the election results.

The neoconservative strategies of the U.S. leadership over the past couple of decades, which the Biden administration pursued enthusiastically, have brought the world to the brink, with Ukraine in ruins, the Middle East in worse shape than it has been in decades, the Indo-Pacific ready to explode, and the risk of nuclear war arguably higher than it’s been at any point since the Cuban Missile Crisis. Moreover, Vice President Kamala Harris did nothing to counter this misguided policy of war, war and more war. Extolling America’s unprecedented military “lethality” and parading with former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) only solidified this perception.

This country is completely different than it was in Reagan’s time.

Trump is:

Against the exploitation of the Working Class
Against the exploitation of blacks
Against War
Against War profiteering
Against Human Trafficking and Slavery

The Democrats are seething. He’s ending all the stuff they like.

They’re already working on him to deport only hardened, violent criminals and/or to basically let everyone back in “legally” as the RINOs tried to slip by us 20 years ago.

If they get him to cave on illegal immigration, does that make him like Reagan in another sense?

Biden/Satan is trying to start WWIII with the Russians before Trump gets in. If Putin gave missles to the Cubans and okayed them to hit Washington DC we’d nuke them. Those soldiers better disregard those orders

It’s heart warming how the Hill, and AP, and MSNBC, et al are always looking out for us.

The Hill would chide Jesus for not being a peacemaker when he drove the money changers out of the Temple. They should be ignored, unless they are really funny. Then laugh at them.

I would normally prefer a Ronald Reagan over a President Trump but given what the Democrats have been up to, President Trump is exactly the President that America needs right now. Although it would have been interesting to see how Ronald Reagan himself would have responded to the Potato46/kommieLa so-called "Administration."

I'm a huge fan of both President Reagan & President Trump. Depending on how President Trump performs over the next four years, I may have to move him ahead of President Reagan in the pantheon of all-time best Republican Presidents. Looking forward to the next 4 years. Also, it will be great for a real VP to get 4 years of learning experience, preparing JD Vance to win the next two elections.

Democrats will magically want peace again. But what about Clinton bombing the snot out of Serbia, Obama overthrowing Libya, perpetuating a civil war in Syria, and Biden’s mess in Ukraine? And it’s always Republicans who have to deal with cleaning it up.

Reagan made a deal with the rats when he gave them what they wanted they stabbed him in the back and reneged...of course.

“Losers giving Trump advice”

SSDD.

When ever they lose they start this crap: whining and nagging, telling the winner that they need to take it easy and make nice with them, adopt their policies or at least slow walk his own.

It’s crap. An intentional attempt to blunt the loss.

If the shoe was on the other foot they would be arresting the other side even as we speak. Didn’t we just witness that for the last four years?

No mercy. Beat the crap outta them.

The Hill is a Marxist-Democrat propaganda rag with zero credibility for anyone looking for factual, unbiased information.

Perfectly stated, other than that the seething hordes are now more accurately referred to as Marxist-Democrats.
