Why Trump’s America will live on

Original Article

Posted By: Dreadnought, 12/5/2020 11:26:55 AM

Like many, if not most Americans, I am somewhat relieved to see the petulant, nasty and sometimes clearly unhinged Donald Trump leave the White House. Yet for all his antics and vitriol, Trump has left a legacy that will be difficult to ignore and, given the dispensation of his opponents, could shape the future for the next decade. Trump’s 2016 victory may be best considered a necessary colonic to a constipated political economy. He challenged in ways not seen for a generation the comfortable establishmentarian politics of both parties. Most critical of all, Trump, the scion of a property mogul, has re-established, along with his odd socialist doppelganger, Bernie Sanders

Most "Americans" want to see him stay in office another 4-8-16 years. Put a powered wig on him and you have the Founding Fathers.

Don't let the first sentence fool you. For the most part, it's worth a read, or at least a skim. Interesting times ahead.

You should at least read the whole article before throwing stones. Kotkin has a problem with Trumps personality, not his policies. He actually gives them a thumbs up while calling out the dems and their masters on Wall street and silicon valley. Read, before condemning.

Well, #4, I too was put off by the dishonest and unnecessary first sentence. Then I decided to go ahead and scan the next few paragraphs. When Kotkin actually equates Bernie Commie Sanders as equal to Trump when it comes to being a positive transformative leader, forget it!!

I heard this morning that Biden intends to have a virtual inauguration - should it happen. Because of THE COVID of course. In truth, he probably assumes Trump would not attend - should it happen - he shouldn't - would show approval of a crime - and one wonders who would attend - should it happen.

#10, if he does manage to steal the election, I suggest we make inauguration in DC and every city and town in the country into one giant MAGA rally. Imagine the optics of Fingers being inaugurated in his basement vs millions of flag waving Trump supporters thronging DC and all those other cities with flags flying. The last DC MAGA rally had 1.7 million in attendance and I’d bet that we could easily beat that number.

Trump is petulant, nasty, and unhinged? That applies far more to his opponents in both parties. Name one Democrat or Republican that can hold a candle to Trump. There aren't any. Trump's America will live on. He showed there is indeed an alternative to the Washington politics as usual. These jerks want to kill the economy and at the same time enrich themselves. Two can play at that game. Don't invest in anything that these creeps will cash in on. Minimize your spending.

Despite the snarky comments, parts of his analysis are correct in a rational world. Unfortunately, if Biden is sworn in, there will never be a rational world. What the author completely misses in the article is that this election was stolen from President Trump and WTP. Why would he think there will be a free and fair election in this country ever again? Those he criticizes in the article are the ones in total control now!

If Biden is sworn in, it's over for a number of reasons. First - no more true elections. It will all be for show. Second - decrees and eventually rationing. Got to save the earth, you know. Stimulus packages for gun returns, low family size (bonus for no kids). Mandatory vaccination with implanted chip for verification. Nationwide euthanasia legalization. In short, the left will lead us into the Tribulation.

I think the author is overly optimistic in suggesting outcomes but his observations are right on. The triumph of woke corporatism will indeed be temporary. History suggests the result will be bloody over reaction as the enlisted military stands down and the mob comes for the elites. Trump in '24 might be the last chance to avoid this result.

Not many journalists have the talent to cause you to drop their articles in the first paragraph but this leftist clown is one. He must have been "spiked" in the head by a 275 pound tackle because he makes zero sense in between the lies. Donald Trump is in the same league with General George Patton, you either like him or you don't, but it's a mistake not to recognize the courage and brilliant leadership.

I am so sick of rats and rat sympathizers crying about President Trump's demeanor. Like any President in the last 50 years has been an emotional role model. The shuck and jive BO, that's 'Presidential?' His overt racism was a huge turn off for me, but I don't count, cause I'm not sensitive to the 'manners' of the W.H.? BOs wife came right out and hated the USA. Who else, the Clintons? Good grief, the sex alone was bad enough, but the murder of their close associates was a little 'unhinged,' wouldn't you say? George Bush the sop who stood by while maniacs wrote plays about killing him and said nothing when Harry Reid lied daily, that sure is good leadership. Let's go all the way back to JFK, the model of a gracious, witty, President by many chattering class standards. Bedding the Mafiaoso's girlfriend??? His 'vitamin' shots? Maybe Gerald Ford is not 'nasty' enough to make the cut for this clown, but after the list of losers in the W.H. having a guy who calls liars, liars right to their face is refreshing to say the least. IF the rats win, nothing short of a blood in the streets accounting of the obvious traitors will save the freedoms we won't fight for. This election and the last 4 years are obvious proof of the influence of enemies of the USA, foreign and domestic. There will be no more America as we know it. NONE. Liars telling you if you can make a living or when you wear a useless mask is just the start of a living hell. You can't live without a justice system and a complete lack of accountable government and that is where we are. We have already lost too much of both.

Austin, Texas The University of Texas' long-awaited report on “The Eyes of Texas” has found that the school song has “no racist intent," but the school president said athletes and band members will not be required to sing or participate when the song is played at games and campus events. The 58-page report, released Tuesday, was commissioned last year by school President Jay Hartzell after a group of Texas athletes, most notably football players, demanded the school drop the song as part of racial injustice protests. The issue erupted into a tempest of fan outrage when football players chose to leave the field instead of

The worst kept secret in Washington, D.C., is that Joe Biden is suffering from serious age-related cognitive decline. In January, although some people predicated he would remain in office for up to two years before he was gently ushered out to make room for Kamala Harris, I looked at the man and thought he was going to be retired by June. Lately, though, Biden looks as if he’s heading for an April or May retirement. On Monday, he had his worst public appearance yet, when he was unable to remember either the name for his Secretary of Defense or the Pentagon.

Is this a new defiance against Donald Trump by the GOP? Or a clever marketing ploy by Trump and his team? Over the weekend, Trump’s attorneys sent a cease-and-desist order to the RNC over their use of Trump’s name in their fundraising efforts. Their predictable response all but guarantees the party will continue to build its brand around Trump’s: The Republican National Committee is denying a cease-and-desist demand from Donald Trump’s attorneys, who asked the party organization to stop using the former president’s name and likeness in fundraising appeals.

"The only thing we have to fear is...fear itself — nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance.” — Franklin Delano Roosevelt The recent school reopening guidance released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is an example of fears influencing and resulting in misinterpretation of science and harmful policy. In the U.S. 50% of schools are closed and more only partially open. President Biden ran on a campaign indicating that science and data would guide his policy. As we approach the anniversary of the first COVID shut down, this approach is needed more than ever, especially when it comes to schools.

The LGBT activist community has convinced many that being straight is out of style and that in order to be trendy you have to identify as something. Your sexuality is now your identity, and the younger the age group the more this thinking has infected people. According to the LGBT community, any choice in identity must be respected to the point of being revered. It can never be questioned or criticized. To be of any kind of sexuality makes one a higher being. The only sexuality that isn’t protected is being straight which can be judged as “homophobic” or “transphobic” simply for not wanting

Looking at how the media reacted to the reaction by Americans at the cancelation of some of Dr. Seuss’s books, it’s hard to tell whether they’re being obtuse on purpose or if they truly misunderstand the American people so much that their bubble stops them from experiencing reality as it is.

Wyoming Gov. Mark Gordon announced on Monday that the state would be lifting its state-wide mask mandate as well as some other Covid-19 economic restrictions. The new order lifting restrictions will allow a number of business categories — including bars, restaurants, gyms and movie theaters — to "resume normal operations" on March 16. Gordon, a Republican, cited the "declining number of active COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations" in Wyoming as well as the state’s "significant success" in a vaccine rollout as reasons behind the easing of restrictions.

Georgia voters who helped turn this state blue, for now, should feel cheated. President Biden came to campaign for Senator Raphael Warnock and Senator Jon Ossoff in the runoff elections. Biden told you to vote for these men in his stump speech if you wanted $2000 stimulus checks. How is that going for those of you who believed it? Now the stimulus checks are $1400 and get smaller at higher incomes until they disappear. Not only did Biden not keep the campaign pledge he made for your new senators, but they also allowed him to sign a bill that will punish Georgia.

Between “stop the steal” and Russia-collusion claims, a majority of Americans think we’ve gotten the outcome of the presidential election wrong at least once over the past four-plus years, Scott Rasmussen writes about his latest findings.

Was the 2020 presidential election stolen? That question continues to reverberate through our public life. Today I downloaded a new book by Patrick Byrne called The Deep Rig. It purports to tell the true story of how the Democrats stole the election, and why the Trump administration and the GOP bungled their opportunity to do something about it. I am half-way through the book, and am not prepared to express an opinion on it. I will say this: Byrne is not a nobody. And he describes events in detail, like his account of a meeting with President Trump in the Oval Office. In his telling, the heroes are quants and hackers

I’m probably second to none in my dislike for Meghan Markle. There’s something unattractive about a mature woman marrying into the British Royal family with one of the world’s most expensive weddings, hanging out with the Queen, living in insane luxury…and then whining non-stop about the horror of her life. There’s something even less appealing when that woman accuses the Royal family of race hatred. And the problem is that, when it comes to that left-wing diva, Meghan Markle, it’s hard to believe most of what she says. After weeks of hype, CBS finally televised Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s interview with Oprah.

His wife, as the person closest to him, should have been the one to call the campaign quits in order to reduce stress on the man. Instead, apparently so anxious to become the First Lady by any means necessary, Mrs. Biden continued to push her failing husband’s campaign forward as if he were mentally qualified.
