Trump is 100% on His Game
2019-11-20
[The American Thinker} I thank God that President Trump is not like other Republicans.

It truly amazes me that many high-profile conservatives and Republicans still wish Trump would dial it back, not be so confrontational, and behave more presidentially. I feel like saying, "Are you guys nuts? Have you not been paying attention?" Desperate times require desperate measures. Donald Trump is God's perfect man in the White House for such a time as this.

...It has been revealed that a few days after Trump was elected in 2016, Democrats, the deep state, and fake news media launched their coup to remove him from office. In essence they said, "Screw idiot American voters. We will not allow this guy to interrupt our plans for America's decline and transformation."

...Frustrated that every play in their Destroy-the-Republican-Playbook has failed against Trump, Democrats' and fake news medias' hatred for Trump and his supporters has grown to pure foaming-at-the-mouth rabid insanity.

For you folks on our side who still wish Trump was kinder and gentler, the truth is that no other Republican could have survived. Trump has the perfect instincts to fight and emerge victorious in this openly treasonous and extremely corrupt political climate.

...Remember the lyric in the Billy Joel song, "I love you just the way you are"? Please Mr. President, don't go changin'. We love you just the way you are.

#12  They will hate, but respect, you if you don't cave. If you cave they will both hate and despise you.

#11  ...because they're all gonna hate you anyway unless you cave to their every demand.

They’re going to hate you even IF you cave to their demands!

#10  Well, maybe not their ugly heads defacing perfectly good fences,

Washington DC is hot and humid in the summer so flies and stench would be a problem. Howzabout a nice Pyramid of Skulls?

#9  ^Second that.

Well, maybe not their ugly heads defacing perfectly good fences, but it would be good to have democrat bastiches and deepState flunkies get horribly sick and die; find themselves entrapped in scandals and Jeffried in jail.

I want the whining left con artists to feel the reality of the words they throw at conservatives. Racist, fascist, nazi etc. The bastards have made 'Nationalist' an insult. I'm hoping he will consolidate enough power in the DoJ by next term.

#8  I still think Trump's being way too kind to the Washington political establishment. I really, REALLY want to see heads on pikes, literally. I think a row of heads on the wrought-iron fence around the White House would set a STERLING example for future generations.

#7  When Trump was elected I considered him "Not Hillary" I was right in general but wrong in the order of magnitude.

#6  Bluster and exaggeration have always been the hallmark of the American rhetorical style. "Make the world safe for democracy." "The last best hope of mankind." "We have it in our power to make the world anew." "Religion of peace," etc etc

The difference between Trump and his fellow blusterers W, 0, Clinton, Reagan, Kennedy, FDR, and Wilson is twofold:
1) Trump never invokes God
2) Trump doesn't ever claim American exceptionalism.

#2 is very important. Trump is a Realist-- like nearly every other leader around the world. He expects Putin, Xi, et al. to act in their nations' interests, and he fearlessly and plainly states that he will do likewise.

Despite the man's twittermania and chaotic ways, there be method to his madness. He is putting a stake through 100 years of American global-exceptionalist blather and BS.

In this sense Trump is the anti-bullshitter, the voice of Realism.

#4 To be candid, when Trump was elected, I thought of him as the well-known American Archetype - a snake oil salesman. Turns out, the medicine is real.

That roughly parallels my own thinking at the time. When I voted for him, I was more voting against Hillary than I was voting for Trump. I didn't expect much from him.

Needless to say, my expectations have been wildly exceeded. Even if he accomplishes nothing more than he has already, he will at least have taught Republicans (except for the 'NeverTrumpers') that you might as well not bother playing nice with the Dems and the media, because they're all gonna hate you anyway unless you cave to their every demand.

#3  I woke up to a gentleman on the television news saying that President Trump is causing a flood of kidnapped Americans around the world to be released. He has been intervening personally, according to the reporter, speaking in his most serious voice, and the families of those kidnapped are aware and grateful. Someone whose daughter died in captivity — probably the young lady held as a personal rape slave of al Baghdadi (you must understand that I was just waking up, and not completely aware) — reportedly wished that Donald Trump had been president earlier, because then their child would have been returned instead of murdered.

#2  The Deep state agree with Illary that most American's are deplorable.

They should leave the taxpayer's teat.
