nearly 40 years ago, and not only has nothing been done about it (except for some of Trump1.0’s trade agreements), we can’t even get tariffs to use as leverage without judges interfering.

The difference between President Trump and politicians, right there. Consistency vs sway with the political winds. Look at what BiteMe or Schoooomer were saying about the border last century versus last few years.

Yet Oprah failed to support Donald Trump's election to the Presidency.

BTW, can you find the video of Trump's interview with Oprah when (if I recall correctly) she asked him if he would ever seek the Presidency and he replied, "Only if my country needed me"?

And The Oprah asked Trump to run for prez. Back then the loudest Dims were more center left and at least pretended to have common sense. Now they’re all knee-jerk against all things America or Trump or families or Christian.

Back then they assumed he was a pro-labor Democrat.

In many ways Trump still is. It's the Dims who've shunned their labor base.

Exactly. For the most part Trump is a 60’s/70’s/80’s Democrat. They’ve just gone so far over the cliff they now hate what they used to love.

Inaction from globalist presidents and congresses since GHWB, who could have taken a scalpel to reorient our post WWII trade arrangements, forced President Trump to use a meat cleaver.

Thank God for Donald Trump.

Black people, in general, loved Trump back then.

He wanted her to be his VP when he considered running for the reform party.

If you get a chance, read “Letters to Trump”.

So many of his haters today lauded him constantly.
