I have issues with this author regarding his demand that Trump be able to accomplish his MAGA agenda under the constitutional CONSTRAINTS imposed on him by his position.

I will concede that many of his appointments were busts, but as some of the commenters at AT pointed out : Most of the things on that list were things he did not have the authority to do or was blocked by Mitch/Ryan/Pelosi/Schumer.

The Democrats and their media allies used the entrenched government bureaucracy and a weaponized DOJ to undercut him at every turn. I actually remember the frustration of the fight against almost all of DC and the fact that he got anything done in the face of the opposition is amazing.

The author is guilty of the very same flaw he assigns to Trump supporters; namely: He expects that Trump should have had the success rate of a God. When one is constantly fending off sociopaths and Mandarins (eg, Pelosi & McConnell), expecting God-like outcomes from a mere mortal is asking too much. And did he mention that over 90% of the mainstream press continued to publish negative and fake news against him?

And here’s my other question — let’s say you vote for someone other than Trump, what guarantee do you have that this Republican President won’t encounter the same obstacles that Trump faced?

I half agree with the author about the election debacle; Trump could have and should have done everything in his power to legally stall the certification of 2020. He did do a lot, including going to courts to get redress, but they wouldn’t listen.

The author left out the “vaccines” of which to this day Trump claims “fatherhood”... and endorses them as safe and effective.

That is where he lost me.

And if Trump had fired deep-state Wray, deep-state McConnell would have voted which way on the deep-state brought fake Russia collusion impeachment?

I will vote for the GOP candidate, but I hope it’s not Trump. Too much self inflicted baggage.

The American people have long respected the FBI.

Its misuse is deplorable.

what guarantee do you have.

The absolute guarantee that every obstacle and obstruction will be pushed in front of any, ANY, Non-Democrat at EVERY opportunity. With certain Media collusion.

Not just President, but every elected office.

There are four things he did that all the RINOs promised but never delivered:

1. Moving embassy to Jerusalem

2. Judges (particularly Supreme Court)...which led to...

Overturning Roe v Wade.

3. Smashed ISIS

4. Kept us out of major military conflicts

Those are not insignificant by any means.

My 2 cents

Trump was under attack from his first day in office.

McConnell held a veto over it all

He told Trump who would get confirmed by the Senate. McConnell and the deep state installed the mole Jeff Sessions, and Trump believed he was a loyal player.

Sessions job was simply to recuse himself on all things Russia - which put Rosenstein and McCabe in charge of Russia-gate for 2 years.

This is the same kind of person who says:

Why didn’t the Founding Fathers outlaw slavery in the first Constitution?

Why didn’t Women get the right to vote too?

There is some truth with that list. If Trump cannot course-correct that list will grow and America will suffer.

But here’s the thing. I’d rather have a candidate who can get 10% of MAGA done than someone who is an anti-MAGA, war-mongering neocon.

This doesn’t mean I’m a Trump-or-bust person. I’m simply looking for the most electable MAGA-type person out there. Maybe that will be Trump. Maybe it will be someone we haven’t even heard from yet.

Here is the inconvenient truth. The instant Trump was victorious in 2016, the intelligence community and the Republican and Democrat party organized a vicious and effective campaign to stop him and make him ineffective. Essentially I estimate Trump out about 30% of the power a president normally has. The day he entered office and was sworn in he was already under investigation by the FBI. They had already slandered Michael Flynn and had him removed from trumps administration. James Comey was in his office secretly recording him. The CIA was running an operation against him trying to make a dishonest case that he was a Russian spy. When he tried to gain control, by firing James Comey, a special prosecutor was appointed that harassed him for the first 2 1/2 years of his presidency. Essentially he was no longer in charge of the DOJ. Anyone who showed the slightest interest in working in his administration was subject to street terrorism in restaurants, anywhere they went. Efforts organized by the political parties and big tech ensured the person would never work in their career field again.
Mitch McConnell had normal recess for the Senate in 2015 and 2016 when Obama was president. When Trump was president, he kept the Senate in pro forma session the entire four years so Trump could not make a recess appointment.
The CIA has spies inside the White House monitoring his phone calls, and then launched the fake impeachment. He was hounded, harassed, and road blocked at every step. Our treasonous military literally refused his orders about Syria. Homosexual Mattis refused his order over removing tranny‘s from the military. The head of the Coast Guard openly defied that order. When the Navy went after Eddie Gallagher, Trump gave them an order to knock it off. They continued. He pardoned him, the Navy still continued to try to persecute him.

Do you want an inconvenient truth? About Trump? Every is a trusted institution in America became treasonous and worked morning noon and night to disobey him and obstruct him. In many cases violating the law with impunity to do so. You’re a bunch of damn traders and we hate you more than ever now. That’s the truth. And you’re not gonna force some milk toast DeSantos on us as a Trump substitute you can control.

There is so much more. The Republican Congress stopped the building up the wall. The Republican Congress refused to allow him to make the appointments he wanted. The Republican Congress refused to repeal Obamacare for him to sign. The Republican Congress let a special counsel run wild and did not back him up. How many times did we see Lindsey Graham threatening instant impeachment if he fired a special prosecutor? How many times did we see the generals openly contradicting him and opposing him. The head of strategic command went to Canada and said there were some circumstances where he would disobey trumps launch order . Open treason abounded. The inconvenient truth? We hate you more than ever now. Trump is our message, you didn’t get it.
