A few days ago, the New York Times ran yet another article questioning former President Donald Trump's status as a kingmaker within the Republican Party. Author Shane Goldmacher offers some interesting data points: for example, the fact that Trump's political action committee has a war chest of $120 million-plus. (If a March article in Politico is correct, that's $10 million more than Trump had just one month ago, and more than double what either the Republican National Committee or the Democratic National Committee has in their coffers.)
Goldmacher mocks the aspiring GOP candidates who visit Mar-a-Lago (Trump's Palm Beach home) as "supplicants," "sycophants" and "Trump whisperers."

And we who stand firmly behind him see his faults. Many of us do not like his language. But all of us love America and we understand Trump can fix it. There isn't a democrat in the country who would. So lest the wokesters think we are blindly following Trump, we see, we hear and we will still vote for him because he loves this country, just as we do.

I find it amazing that after all this time DJT still lives rent free in the bat attic known as the New York Times.

Most of my siblngs are liberals of the kool-aid drinking kind. They once asked me why I liked Trump. I replied that they should look at the alternative, the party of lying and cheating. I then said, it was not about liking Trump.

Biden's non leadership & the very one sided media helped Trump with his popularity...

To back this destructive democrat party is irrational when you have a guy with a proven track record of success. President Trump did what most Republicans only promise plus, he had to lead them kicking and screaming to success. The people in the country who have been shafted by the political class recognize a winner. President Trump was the one who finally had their best interests at heart. I haven’t seen his like in my lifetime. He is his own person and that is off putting to some but his results cannot be denied and make up for any personality flaws. Comparing the Biden debacle to the Trump years, the statistics and results don’t lie. Americans were clearly and undeniably better off. If Trump runs, he gets my vote because he has EARNED it. Put DeSantis on the ticket and it is a real dream team. Four years stolen from Trump that he gets back, and then 8 years of DeSantis and we just might save the Republic.

The political class, Republican and Democrat alike, believe nothing can or should happen without them. Hence Republican mediocrity of Bush and Romney and McConnell perpetuates itself by limiting meaningful choice by silencing populist conservatism by any means necessary. They can’t compete on the playing fields of private sector accomplishment or intellectual brilliance, so they create new and different ways to block those voices from uniting behind a Palin or a Reagan or a Trump.
As to sycophants, one need look no further than our side to Rove Bush Romney professional enthusiasts who walk among us.

The elite and polished leaders in the 1940s despised General George Patton for the same reasons, brashness, profane language, bad attitude, but most of them kept their mouths shut until after he won WW2 in Europe for them. By rejecting Donald Trump, establishment GOP princes will finish the job of killing this country and they hopefully know it this time around. It's up to us to pound it into their heads if they don't. Rona and her gang of dreamers just put out another survey of 2024 presidential possibilities and they listed Trump's name very close to the bottom. They will pay for that in lack of donations and credibility.

The anti-Trump people can't decide if Trump is the new messiah or the anti-Christ. They don't care which one as long as they can demonize his every thought, motive and action. Hold on! Wait. Did I just say ''demonize?'' Hmm. Visions of Mitch and his partner Kevin now dance in my head.

Trump is the first President since Ronald Reagan who supported policies that align with the wishes and needs of the American people. His ideas are not new, most of us have known what we wanted done for many decades but there wasn't any candidate on the stage who would even try to do the right thing until Trump stood up to the uniparty. The blatant 2020 election theft demonstrates how much the global elites hate America and the falsehoods they will promulgate to defeat us. MAGA

I have lived seven decades voted for some of the worse republicans that were the lesser of evils and against democrats. Reagan and Trump were the only two men to be called Republican that delivered on their promise and gave leadership. I do remember how Barry Goldwater had that different aire about himself like Trump, but that one ad destroyed his dream, who remembers it?

"It's Not Trump's Power. It's His Voters'" and of course that is correct and our duly elected President always says that in his speeches to "His Voters" that is why is he so loved by all who care about this country and want to see it preserved, as is, without adulteration or modification

We stand with President Trump because he stands against evil. The other presidents since Ronald Reagan were not for the American people...they were for the New World Order.
