The Value of Trump

An oft familiar set of questions circles around a variation of ‘does President Trump know this’, or ‘can President Trump eliminate this’, or ‘is President Trump the solution’. The most brutally honest short answers are: unlikely, doubtful and no. That said, the longer answers are much more complicated, involve the reader separating their emotion from logic and accepting that few people in this current American world we are forced to endure truly understand just how purposefully siloed the administrative state of government has become. Those you think know, don’t. Those who should know,

FTA: "However, if we are looking for a person who will provide the greatest opportunity for us to be the solution to the problem, then President Trump is indeed the best weapon we have against them, these embedded communists." President Trump is more than a leader. He is a teacher and an inspiration. He motivates and gives example. There has never been an American President like him in our history. He is kind and compassionate to those in need, or in grief. He can also be a ruthless enemy to any who threaten violence to the innocent. He's a man's man, and a ladies' man. He's purely American and there will never be another like him. I truly believe he was destined for this time and place in our country's history. He cannot do it alone. He needs every Patriot's heart, prayers, and deeds behind him. Together the MAGA movement will save America and bring about Another Great Awakening and an American Revival that will shake the world as we celebrate our 250th birthday. TRUMP 2024 - MAGA

The dems base is brain dead. The believe that things in America are going well. They also believe that oil/gasoline/ carbon are bad, that there is man caused climatechange/globalwarming is going on and that we must save the planet, that "immigrants" are good for our country, that Israel is the aggressor, there is no inflation, and that there is not and has never been any voter / election fraud. You cannot reason with unreasonable people.

We must heed Sundance's words. We have an individual, President Donald J. Trump, presumably chosen by God, our Creator and Holy Father, to show us the way. We individuals must also step up and inspire each other and the nation. Yes, it is all about President Trump. But it is more importantly about American Exceptionalism and Individualism - the leftists biggest fears. Trump/???? 2024 MAGA/KAG/KMAGA/Uber MAGA

We have only one alternative to our corrupt government (all levels, both parties, supported by a majority of Americans). That alternative is Donald Trump. He really isn't the answer, but he is the only thing we got. Btw, what is there after Trump? I don't really see anyone at this time. Maybe the only one we can put our faith and trust in should be God. Maybe that was supposed to be the idea all the time. Forget about our corrupt government. It isn't worthy of our faith and trust.

The only way we, as a people, can help President Donald Trump is to vote in True and Truthful Senators and Congressmen who love The United States as much as Pres.

EXCELLENT POINT. We the People are the solution! Frankly, we are in the situation we are in because we abdicated that responsibility. We entrusted the Country to politicians, who have become corrupt. The lazy politicians have turned the management of the Country over to the unaccountable bureaucracy. Given the structure of our system, the way to fix that is to elect WARRIORS to unwind bureaucratic power, appoint judges that follow written law, and to uninvolve the federal government from social issues and issues not given to the federal government by the Constitution. We also should support organizations that oppose liberal degradations of the law. It will be hard work but absolutely necessary.

Andrew Jackson, another great and underestimated POTUS, said: "One man with courage makes a majority". And that is truly Trump! Throughout history --- going all the way back to biblical times --- one powerful and determined man (and, yes, some women too) have not only changed the course but have made society do a 180 degree turn. This works on the good side as well as the bad! Thus, Obama (one bad man) gathered incredible support and now one man (Trump) will change it --- if we rally and help him. God picks His tools, not us. Many times He uses flawed humans (think King David) to get where He wants the world to be.

“How many more police officers and how many families need to make the ultimate sacrifice before we start protecting them?” Stephanie Diller’s plaintive question at Saturday’s funeral for her husband, Det. Jonathan Diller, somehow turned out to be news not fit to print for The New York Times. Nor the lines that preceded it: “It’s been two years and two months since Detective Rivera and Detective Mora made the ultimate sacrifice — just like my husband Jonathan Diller. Jonathan Diller’s death was nowhere to be found on the front page of the New York Times.

T]he Turkish government aims to conquer the Greek islands in the Aegean Sea – either militarily or demographically. The goal is the same: the islands' capture. The Turkish media also falsely and repeatedly claims that "152 Greek islands and islets in the Aegean belong to Turkey". These islands, however, historically and legally, belong to Greece, mainly through the 1924 Treaty of Lausanne, 1932 Turkish-Italian Agreements and the 1947 Paris Treaty. Conquest is part of Islamic jihad (warfare in the service of Islam) which, according to Islamic scriptures, is a communal obligation.

For those of you who celebrate this sacred day, Happy Easter. For those who don’t, most Americans appreciate that it is the holiest day of the year for you and treat it with civilized respect. To the President who claims he is a Catholic in good standing, it’s just another day to poke his fingers in your eyes. Yes, the White House is hosting the traditional easter egg rolling event, but it has banned all religious symbols at the event, and in a proclamation dated, “in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty-four” announced that this day, March 31, is “Transgender Day of Visibility.”

If you thought that the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge was the real disaster, you aren’t familiar with the government. Stephen Green at VodkaPundit notes that, “Could it really take twice as long and four times as much money to replace the collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge than it did to build it in the first place? The Key Bridge was built at a cost (adjusted for inflation) of about $200 million. Replacing it could take a decade and cost $400 million to $800 million dollars, according to experts in what has become a dismal field.” It’ll get worse before it gets better.
