I didn’t vote for Trump in 2016, but when I woke up the morning after the election and realized Hillary hadn’t won, I was so elated and realized I never should have sat out.

He is an oaf, a narcissist who can’t get out of his own way, and there were many times I prayed for him to just SHUT UP.

BUT …

He governed far better than I ever expected (until Covid) even though he didn’t keep his promises to drain the swamp (and he’s reaping the consequences of that failure now with the lawfare he’s facing). He stayed up to the wee hours to welcome home hostages and heroes, he put our country first, at least more than any other president in my lifetime, maybe even more than Reagan.

Do I wish we had another option? Yes. But that was never going to happen. So now we play the cards we’ve been dealt, and we hope Trump is finally mad enough to do what he said he would do in the first place.

I vote Trump because of the enemies he’s created. He’s hated by all the right people.

I agree with most of this.

I also have to give him some grace on what he DID NOT accomplish. Who among us could even organize a pep rally with so many foes and non-stop BS hurled at us?

I know I wake up some days with a to-do list as long as my arm but 2-3 obstacles

derail it all. Imagine trying to drain that swamp while

drowning in swamp

sludge and BS, back door deals frenemies.

Agree with you absolutely. I give DJT a lot of credit and like he said last night, he could be doing something else with the rest of his life, he doesn’t need to go through this Bs again. They will certainly continue to pull every stop if he gets back in.

Definitely. As an outsider, he was up against it. And he unfortunately didn’t “surround himself with the best people” as promised - there was a lot of bad advice from his daughter and son-in-law and people like Pompeo, McConnell, Graham, etc. Imagine what he could have done if he’d had solid, Consitutional advisers around him.

Like the people who advised him on his Supreme Court picks? Gorsuch is superior, Kavanaugh questionable (another Roberts?), and Barrett at best an extreme disappointment.

Exactly.

It worse than that. Read that SenateAnon wrote in 2017 about what Trump was up against. Here's the archived link:

This is not fairy tale fantasy time. You have 2 choices (if your vote has even the smallest chance of making a difference).

I make the adult choice of voting policy. Not, well, he says mean things. **As though creepy Joe was always nice, courteous respectful. He was far worse because his vengeful comments disproved his ‘I am a nice regular, everyday Joe. A super likable but forgetful (where the hell did I leave the bodies) sycophant next door. Right, “Dr” Hur. So, as always, I vote policies. Yeah, Trump was crappy on a lot of trade and entitlement programs, but I enjoyed 2.25 p/gal gas, leaving a with grocery cart full of food for less than $200.00, no wars, terrorists in check(mate), Putin Chi?, and the Mullahs calm.

The man speaks coherently. Is he bombastic, yes. Is he mean, sometimes when attacked.

Someone punches me in the face said do not respond with courteous, peaceful platitudes.

As for me, we need a UFC fighter to save our country.

Trump, blemishes and all is universes better than that scarecrow Manchurian candidate.

How ironic, Trump destroyed the enemy with their complete home field advantage.

No time for celebration, bring it all the way home. MAGA 2025.

Absolutely 💯 correct. People are so much like sheep and mind controlled will never vote R or for the orange man bad lol, they are goners IMO. I would take DJT with all his cringe worthy but sometimes hysterical comments any day. Voted for him twice, hated what we went through with coofid-1984 and wish he’d speak more to that but I won’t get my hopes up.

@Tired ….I’m with you 100%. Trump does not try and obfuscate Traditional American Culture in which the hard left and elite have worked so very hard to squash.

Trump also has some sort of crazy magnet built in. He draws out the craziest shit on the wall smearing people on both sides of the isle. Damn I wish I knew how he did that.

That’s about the entire base of Dem party. I have noticed it’s the usually the hard liners on the right who usually lack the ability to think in terms aside from black and white. They don’t do nuance nor think a couple steps ahead.

That’s being said, I hold out very little hope for the position we find ourselves in today. I will vote for Trump because he does tend to represent Apple Pie Americans or at least does not come after you for being one. And also, just maybe Trump gets in and has sweet revenge in the offing.

I just wouldn’t get my hopes up over any of it.

I too agree with most not all of what you said. DJT became President because the people saw America was going in the wrong direction. He is not a politician, he’s a NY business man. He makes deals. He kept us out of war and destroyed ISIS. Prices were lower and so was gas. People were working. Immigration was under control. He was helping the Middle East and Israel. I could go on and on. Anyone who doesn’t see this I feel sorry for. It’s all a game with two teams and every 4 years we scream and yell and hope our team wins. Not much changes. But if JB stays in power you can bet WWW3 is right around the corner.

Covid had nothing to do with him, and is a Western Global Operation, through and through.

If Trump is re-elected, there will be another one. In fact, no matter who is elected, there are more lockdowns and quarantining and all the rest on the way
