Was Trump’s ‘loss’ in 2020 predestined?

Original Article

Posted By: Hazymac, 2/4/2025 7:56:28 AM

Recently a myriad of legacy media, political pundits, and websites have promoted the idea that Trump’s loss in the 2020 election was actually a net positive for the country, though you’ll never have Trump agree with that assessment. Yet there is something to be said for the differences between the man in 2020, and the man in 2024. More than that, there are some intriguing facts that suggest that not only was it the best outcome longterm, but it was divinely guided. Conclusions abounded that Trump had essentially brought the 2020 loss on himself; from the leftwing BBC: "They were put off by his aggressiveness. His stoking of racial tensions.

2020 was a stolen election and there was plenty of evidence to show it.

Following 2020 I did not think a Republican could ever win the Presidency again. All it took was 5 cities controlled by Democrats in 5 swing states to manufacture just enough votes to win the election. They were brazen about it, shutting down the counting at about the same moment in all 5 states with Trump leading, then all reopening counting at the same time with Trump suddenly behind. It was like they were showing off.

I'm still wondering what happened to those 8 million voters that voted in 2020 for Biden that no longer existed in the 2024 election.

Regardless of what or why it happened, the Trumpster will have much better results the next 4 years vs. the preceding 4 years. If he was reelected in 2020 the hounding and legal issues would still be there, including more impeachment attempts. This time he has his plan well mapped out, he has brought very Qualified people to handle his plans. He is hitting the ground running full speed. And after the disaster of the Biden presidency, the people are united too. It will be so much better this time around. Plus we are setup for JD to move right into the top spot in 2028.

Never underestimate the impact of the Biden disaster on the American public - open borders, out of control spending, vaccine mandates, green new deal, censorship, lawfare, DEI on steroids, leftist hysteria about "our democracy," and rampant inflation. All of that made the Trump years look much better to the public and got him a second term. He's dialing a lot of the excess back and it has only been two weeks. He's hitting the dems in so many places, they can't figure out which battle to fight - they can't fight them all. It will be an interesting four years.

2020 .... I believe there was an attempt to "steal" the election. Did they steal enough to win? Maybe, but it wasn't proven in a court of law. Biden became President and that's water under the bridge. But yes, perhaps the hand of the Lord was in the mix. Fortunately, the Lord didn't go as far as sending a plague of locusts, but He came pretty close in the Biden-Harris regime. America ... and Donald Trump and his team ... used that time well to prepare for Trump's return to the White House. As has been stated, I anticipate that these four years will be much more historic and long-lasting than a Trump administration that would have concluded the past January 20th.

I dunno. Trump 2.0 is much improved over Trump 1.0, thanks to his involuntary sabbatical, but he lost because of widespread DemonRat cheating, and "lack of standing" in the courts. However, God has used evil people to further our salvation. Regardless, I am amazed at how much he's getting done in a short period.

It sure allowed him and Team Trump to figure out how to turn into an armored, supercharged bulldozer running at full speed the second time around. Magnificent. He was fooled once, believed that everyone in DC was an honest, patriotic person. He soon learned different. Then four years to get ready. Plan, hire the right people, armor up and hit the ground at 100 mph.

After getting totally domesticated by President Trump last month over repatriation flights for illegals, you'd think Colombia's far-left president, Gustavo Petro, might have stayed quiet for a reasonable interval. Guess again. The budding buffoon of South America has put out this doozy of a statement on non-dangers of cocaine: (X) Which is more than a little disturbing. There's plenty of difference between snorting lines of coke and sipping expensive whiskey in a club as anyone with common sense can tell you.

Yesterday I took note of the Trump Department of Education’s investigation of five universities for their toleration of anti-Semitism. First on the DoE list is Columbia University and and rounding it out is the University of Minnesota. I commented that Columbia should be razed and the ground underneath it salted — the Carthaginian solution. A prominent historian and teacher reasonably implored me: "Please be a little more moderate in your language.

The “climate hoax” and “Green New Scam,” as President Donald Trump calls them, have spawned countless bad ideas and even worse policies. In the transglobal elite’s attempt to direct the world’s economy by controlling average people, they have pushed an idiotic and dangerous vision of the nations of the world going net zero. I’m sure it’s purely coincidence that the policies developed to meet net zero just happen to benefit those same elites financially and in terms of political power. Among the net zero policies pushed by the former Biden-Harris administration were de facto electric vehicle mandates, greenhouse gas restrictions forcing the premature closure of reliable coal-fueled power plants, and restrictions

In 2009, the Obama administration bailed out General Motors (GM) with American taxpayer dollars, prompting Venezuela's socialist dictator Hugo Chavez to quip, “Obama has just nationalized nothing more and nothing less than General Motors. Comrade Obama! Fidel [Castro], careful or we are going to end up to his right.” The mainstream media buried this unflattering story to the best of their ability. What they did report breathlessly, however, was Obama’s assurance that he had “no interest” in nationalizing or “running GM.” This was an example of media gaslighting the public before we began calling it that. Many Americans knew what we were witnessing

Hillary Clinton’s Hypersonic Hypocrisy:

The next time Hillary Clinton or her media allies wag a finger about “Russian interference,” remember this: Hillary Clinton’s State Department helped arm Russia with hypersonic missile technology. Yes, the same Hillary Clinton who branded Tulsi Gabbard a “Russian asset”. The same Hillary Clinton who pushed the Trump-Russia collusion hoax for years. The same Hillary Clinton who expects America to believe that Moscow is an existential threat. Her tenure at the State Department actively facilitated, promoted, and encouraged the transfer of dual-use technology that helped build Russia’s next-generation hypersonic missile systems. U.S. officials later sounded the alarm about Skolkovo’s military applications, but the damage was done by then. As Clinton’s State Department

Dr Victor Acharian was accused of transphobia after he turned the patient away in August 2023, and LGBT groups lodged complaints. In December he appeared before a disciplinary board of the French Medical Council and he has now been suspended for a month from March 1, with an additional five months’ probation.

It happens a lot: You’ll hear about a new movie or TV show with a really cool, totally original premise, but alas, the writers and actors fumbled the football in the execution. The first few minutes are promising, but you quickly realize that the script’s premise far exceeded the participants’ talents. It’s frustrating and annoying. An example of this is the 1995 supernatural thriller “The Prophecy,” starring Christopher Walken and Viggo Mortensen, where humans discover a “lost” chapter in the Book of Revelation: Joseph: What is it? Thomas Daggett: Twenty-third chapter of Saint John's Revelations. Joseph: And? Thomas Daggett: There is no twenty-third chapter. Joseph: Well, maybe this is the Teacher's Edition.

The President of the United States is the head of the executive branch. Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution says: The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America. Section 2 speaks more specifically to his enumerated powers, but he’s in charge of the Executive branch and everyone in it. That’s non-controversial when Democrats/socialists/communists (D/s/cs) occupy the White House. But when a Republican like Donald Trump is in office it’s the height of controversy. Trump is demanding—gasp!—that federal employees, many of whom have been out of the office since Covid lockdowns, return to their offices and actually work 40 hours a week. He is also offering

"Our unity and purpose are instrumental to meeting the Department's warfighting mission. Efforts to divide the force — to put one group ahead of another — erode camaraderie and threaten mission execution,” Hegseth said in the directive, formally known as a "guidance." “Going forward, DoD Components and Military Departments will not use official resources, to include man-hours, to host celebrations or events

It also showed that they have no message other than ‘me no like this Trump administration,’ of which Elon Musk is a top agent of the president. His Department of Government Efficiency is wiping the table clean, exposing waste and fraud, and getting these lazy DC government workers to quit.

Some of former President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama's largest donors have abandoned them amid rumors that the couple's marriage is on the rocks. The 44th president of the United States is in the process of building his Obama Presidential Center on the south side of Chicago, but at least some of the donors the couple has turned to over the past few years are now backing down, according to the Daily Beast. Among them is Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos and Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky, who bailed the Obamas out in 2022 with $100million each, boosting the year's total to more than $311million.

Yet Democrats have been leveling all kinds of crazy accusations against Trump and Musk, especially since Musk has been looking into the hornet's nest that is USAID. Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) even accused Musk of "raiding the government, attempting to steal taxpayer money" from the Treasury Department.

NEW YORK— Thinking about backyard chickens as egg prices soar? Think hard, especially in light of the bird flu outbreak. Keeping home chickens as a pastime has continued to grow since the pandemic. But if eggs are the goal, remember that it takes planning and investment to raise the chickens and protect against bird flu. Costs might go well beyond the nationwide average of $4.15 a dozen that commercial eggs sold for in December. “Anyone who’s done an ounce of research will very quickly understand that there are no free eggs, there are no inexpensive eggs in keeping chickens,” said Kathy Shea Mormino, a home chicken blogger and author who
