Grumbling conservatives need to support the president
American Thinker ^ | August 25, 2025 | Robert Curry

You and I may not be forced to watch America go down the drain after all — thanks to President Trump.

It certainly was a close call. There had already been eight years of B. Hussein O. in the White House, plus a rigged election leading to four years of the Autopen administration. What greater travesty can be conceived? How about the Democrat Powers That Be installing a person at the head of the Democrat ticket — bypassing the nomination process — and then installing that person in the White House—bypassing an actual election—by means of yet another rigged election?

The Democrats were clearly ready to take down America’s representative system of government and replace it with one-party Democrat rule. And they came too close for comfort.

Trump miraculously survived an attempt on his life in Butler, Pennsylvania, and then, somehow, went on to overcome the Democrats’ attempts to rig the November election. May such wonders never cease in America!

Of course, the Democrats will not give up. If they get away with winning the 2026 elections by whatever means, fair or foul, they promise to impeach the president six ways to Sunday. They intend to teach him what happens to people who get in their way. The lesson for us and the future of America would then also be quite clear.

As always, the Democrats are serious. Many Republicans, as usual, seem not so serious. For example, American Greatness has published an article by Steven Soukup entitled “Dear Prudence, Won’t You Come Out to Play?” Soukup quotes Plato and other eminences in support of the claim that prudence is “the virtue that best enables ... conservatives to govern well.”

We would do well to pause and ask if that is true in all circumstances.

I really think the position is absolutely destroying him.

I couldn’t imagine the pressure and stress. I think it’s changing him. I truly hope he finds a way to slam the brakes on things and take control again.

I’ve been grousing about him lately too, but I’m covering my complaints to prayer. I pray for his success and his mental well being.

Just the south park thing alone would have broken me.

He’s in control. He still has deep staters that are hard to wrangle when one man cannot be everywhere at the same time.

I consider myself a supporter of President Trump those who complain about ‘grumbling conservatives’ are the ones I doubt as sincere supporters of Mr. Trump.

I don't get this article.

A Conservative is someone who puts America as Founded above all else, by definition.

I generally support President Trump. And can’t even imagine that we could be blessed with anyone better as President in these times.

But I dang sure reserve the right to grumble when I am pretty certain he is making a significant mistake.

Trump is our last hope of saving the country. If he fails, your "conservative" virtue-signaling will be meaningless.

These are not ordinary times. Wake up and smell the coffee.

As someone who been involved in politics since the 1980s, just know that “Conservative Inc” ranted and bitched at Reagan.

It is just what they do. The Always Whining Choir doesn’t have the intellectual capacity to do anything else.

I support most of his policies. And I have voted for him 3 times because of his policies. But the man’s Jerk Personality makes him his own worse political enemy. He obviously has a Narcissistic Personality Disorder which drives millions potential voters away from him. Which is a shame. But Trump cant change and in the long run is a political gift to the Democrats.

But the Dims cant change either. They are fixated on their woke absurdities and knee jerk anti Americanism.

We live in interesting times.

Got popcorn?

As a grumbling conservative, aka white curmudgeon, I demand that Cracker Barrel change its name. As a cracker, I find it racist, hurtful and demeaning.

As if you were God, you would give a shit who was running countries.

I imagine he has more important things to do. At least I hope he does.

He’s definitely fit narcissistic traits. But if he had the full-blown disorder he wouldn’t be able to function. He would be detached from reality.

You sound like you’re already ‘broken’. Sorry you don’t like Trump and winning, so just sit this one out, okay?
