Red State! Amen.
Years ago, a much younger Donald Trump was interviewed about possible future plans to become President of the United States. He kind of demurred. But he did suggest, then, that he believed that the system could be righted.

His common sense view of our government is similar to what many of us say to each other. But he didn’t end up just talking. (Talk is often just kind of cheap.)

He eventually made a decision to run. And run he did. And won. Immediately he was set l-upon by the ones in government who prefer the status quo. His every move got stymied to some extent. Obviously, too, the attacks became partisan and political and blossomed into outright lawfare once his term expired (in order to prevent him from reclaiming the Presidency).

Well, that failed. So, now he is back. And his common sense view (as he once spoke it to the UN) remains that he is not elected to satisfy the desires of the rest of the world. He believes (I think rightly so) that his job, and the primary duty of our entire government, is to serve Americans and America FIRST.

It is common sense. It doesn’t mean we can’t assist other peoples and other lands. But it does mean mean that before we (the sovereign people) provide funds for other nations and their people, our calculus should involve the most pertinent question: does doing so further the interests of the people of America?

I hope that — this time around — President Trump gets a good old-fashioned traditional “honeymoon” period. Let’s see how well we can do (which often involves also benefitting the free world) in implementing his plans and policies.
 
I always said that if Trump accomplished nothing more than saving the Supreme Court from radical leftism, it would be worth my vote. He not only did that but gave us far more liberties, hope, confidence in the future with a great economy for ALL demographics and the closest thing to world peace any of us had ever known. And he kept inflation in check and raised the buying power/standard of living for the vast majority of Americans despite race, ethnicity, creed, political affiliation or whatever. And he had stopped the vast majority of illegals entering this country.

Trump did that with 98% negative press and a Democrat controlled Congress/deep state and a few RINOs fighting him every inch of the way.

He has even greater challenges with the mess Biden and company have made of things--$25+++ trillion spent in four years with absolutely nothing much of value to show for it, extreme loss of buying power by millions, the border overrun by tens of millions of migrants, crime spiraling out of control, and a world that had been at peace now again embroiled in multiple wars.

But if they allow Trump any kind of chance to deliver on the MAGA vision he has promised, I am pretty sure we will again see the MAGA 'miracles' repeated in a second term. And hopefully far beyond that.

I think years ago, he wanted to stay directly out of politics so urged Mitt Romney to run for Prez instead, but Mitt did so badly that this forced DJT into deciding that if you wanted it done right, he would have to get directly involved.

I supported Mitt. That’s an embarrassed admission.

But if even one good thing came out of Mitt’s failed run, then it suffices.

Stellar OP!

Trump’s first term he was naive and way too trusting of the Republican Establishment and he got royally screwed. We could have told him that!

Then, thankfully, the dems cheated the worst possible President into the WH (81,2OL,LOL “votes”. Sureee) They went after Trump and civil society and by 2024, no sane person trusted any democrat.

This gave Trump the Presidency AND the knowledge that he’d have to build his own team from the ground up

And he did!

The political Establishment knows their time is up

Yes me too. Mitt has always bothered me--I have a natural aversion to fashion model hair styles :)--but I saw the choice of him as superior to another four years of Obama. But if Mitt had won we now know we would have just had four years of GOP mediocre, status quo, business as usual with little vision or value to show for it. After eight years of a really mediocre to bad Obama, we got the economic and SCOTUS miracle that was Trump.

And Obama/Biden/Harris were so bad with the current administration we have a second chance for an economic miracle with Trump.
