To all hateful Democrats and squishy Republicans, take your Trump approval ratings propaganda and shove it where the index finger of Joe Biden’s doctor should have been inserted to check for prostate problems.
The Trump I see is exactly the man I voted for as president – three times.
The latest iteration of candidate Trump had promised to close the border, and he has.
Trump promised to put tariffs on unfair trade partners, and he has.
Trump promised to get rid of illegals, and he is trying to do so, despite staunch resistance from tinpot dictator federal judges.
Trump also is in the process of trying to follow through on promises to keep taxes low; eliminate taxes on tips and Social Security.
Trump is trying to negotiate peace treaties for other countries. He’s bringing industrial production and jobs back to the U.S. He’s continuing our energy independence.
In short, Trump is doing, or in the process of attempting to do, pretty much everything he said he would to Make America Great Again.
Yet, the whiners are unhappy. A common refrain of their chorus of complaint is that Trump is too harsh.
Trump’s brusque way of handling situations never really bothered me and still does not.
I applauded his Oval Office work with Zelenskyy and, more recently, the delusional South African president.
Would I do everything the exact same way Trump does? No. Would I do everything the same way my wife does? Again, no. But we’ve been married for pushing 45 years.
As is the case with me and the wife, Trump and I agree on the big things, the pivotal basics that matter. Details are not dealbreakers.
There’s also something in my background that prevents me from being horrified any time Trump tells someone – to their face, I might add – that they are morons or something similar.
You see, I grew up with a father who would say anything to anyone at anytime. I recall a teenage cousin showing up pregnant and, during a family meet at a grandmother’s place, crying over her lot.
Said my father to her: The more you cry, the less you’ll urinate, only he didn’t say urinate.
If I failed to deliver a requested tool in prompt fashion while helping my father with a car or the house, I would be chastized as worthless as tits on a boar. In the interest of full disclosure, as a very young child I thought he was saying “board” not “boar” ‘and was confused.
Either way, I got the message that he was displeased.
In my adult years, working decades as a sportswriter, I spent a lot of time around team locker rooms, hearing, and sometimes being the target of, some harsh language from players or coaches.
One had a choice in these situations. You could either collapse in a puddle of goo, or you could give it back.
Those who know me likely would call me a confrontational sort, whether it’s getting in the face of miscreants on my street, or standing up to misogynistic bullies.
When I see Trump meeting critics head-on, I identify with him. There are a lot of Americans like me, those tired of seeing our so-called leaders on worldwide apology tours, or kissing the ring of leftist extremists at home.
President Nixon once spoke of a silent majority, the regular types who didn’t take to the streets for Anti-American protests (perhaps because they had jobs to go to), didn’t join the counterculture (see first parenthetical thought) and generally didn’t participate in polls and other measures of public opinion.
It was Nixon’s premise, borne out by his re-election, that this was the majority of the populace, no matter the attempts of LameStream media to portray the protesters as being the prevailing sentiment.
Trump’s “Silent Majority” is MAGA, a huge number of traditional Americans who have grown tired of sitting by quietly while the fringe types dictate the future.
As the leader of the movement, Trump is dramatic and unapologetic. Could this help explain his effectiveness?
Stop trying to finetune Trump and get behind the major goals he’s attempting to achieve, before all hope is lost.
