Trump’s Secret Ingredient: Authenticity

Original Article

Posted By: Imright, 10/23/2024 5:19:40 AM

During the 2012 presidential election, the mainstream media successfully pushed the narrative that GOP nominee Mitt Romney was privileged and wealthy and hence out of touch with regular people. Some articles asked, “Is Mitt Romney Too Rich to Be President?“ In order to debunk this narrative, the Romney campaign dispatched their candidate to the supermarket to buy groceries. To appear the “regular,” Romney abandoned his customary suits in favor of casual attire — i.e., he wore jeans and shirtsleeves. Romney struggled at the supermarket, initially forgetting about a shopping cart before entering the shop and subsequently struggling to maneuver the cart out of the shop.

I am certain that having lunch with Donald Trump would be a most comfortable and pleasant experience. Doubt that I would carry that attitude should the lunch companion be Romney, Bush, McConnell, or some other identified traditional RINO politician.

"I’m voting for Trump not only because I support his policies and ideology, but I simply love this man and what he represents, such as fair play; honesty; his pure and genuine love of country and its citizens; his commitment to upholding our Constitution and our rights as written into our Amendments; his integrity; his goals to protect our nation against tyranny and threats from enemies, domestic and foreign; and his undisguised devotion to family and God. And he tops all of those qualities with a self-deprecating sense of humor. When I see Trump, I not only see a politician, but I can also see a husband, a father, a grandfather, and a friend. God bless this man and protect him from harm…" written by Trumpster in discussion.

Funny reference to Romney's romp at the supermarket...I had forgotten about that...Romney tried to convince everyday Americans he was one of the people...and just made himself look foolish and pathetic....but...my GOP said I must vote for him even if I had to crawl over broken glass to get to the polling place...makes me smile when I realize that Romney is a fool and out there with rinos..lizzie and her daddy and now Kelly...trying to get 15 minutes more in the lime light....

Donald Trump is an authentic man operating in an unauthentic system that has comfortably held the levers of power for far too long. A system led by a cabal that has become complacent, lazy and out of practice in their dark arts. Timing is everything in politics, and the Uniparty has been caught sleeping much like the British on a cold Christmas Eve long, long ago. Our blue-collar billionaire is winning the hearts of the people, the forgotten folks that have been pushed aside but still have the franchise of an American citizen to vote. This year they have a champion to vote for, a man that has dedicated and risks his life to Make America Great Again. MAGA! TRUMP-VANCE 2024

The GOP Just Secured a Massive Election
Integrity Win

The Republican National Convention (RNC) won a massive election integrity victory, undermining unlawful ballot counting laws in Democrat states. On Friday, the RNC secured a win in the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals, which ruled that mail-in ballots that arrive after Election Day cannot be counted under federal law. This comes as Democrats have claimed it will take days to count all the ballots due to late mail-in votes. Circuit Judge Andrew S. Oldham ruled that “Congress statutorily designated a singular ‘day for the election’ of members of Congress and the appointment of presidential electors. Text, precedent, and historical practice confirm this ‘day for the election’

PENSACOLA, Fla. – Three NASA astronauts and one Russian cosmonaut started their mission to the International Space Station with weather delays and ended their mission at the mercy of weather once again, finally returning to Earth early Friday after a nearly eight-month stay in space. SpaceX’s Crew Dragon capsule, named Endeavour, brought NASA astronauts Matthew Dominick, Mike Barratt, Jeanette Epps, and Russian Cosmonaut Alexander Grebenkin back to Earth at 17,500 mph after undocking from the ISS Wednesday evening. Endeavour slowed down after smashing into Earth’s atmosphere Friday morning, and then even more with the additional help of two sets of parachutes.

Ben Shapiro is never one to shy away from a debate, but his latest foray into the arena may take the cake. In a scene that I don't think has ever played out in politics, the podcast host and owner of The Daily Wire faced off against 25 Kamala Harris supporters, and the results were incredible. If you thought leftists were vapid and unable to articulate basic defenses of their positions before, just wait until you hear some of this. Let's start with the topic of abortion, which every Democrat believes they are an expert in, and get ready to have your mind numbed.

Explosions have been heard across Tehran as IDF forces announce they have launched retaliatory strikes in the region. The Israeli military has said it is conducting 'precise strikes' on military targets in Iran in response to what it called 'the continuous attacks from the regime in Iran against Israel'. There have been reports of at least five explosions that have rocked the city of Tehran, as well as loud blasts heard in the Damascus countryside and central region. The Middle East has been on edge in anticipation of Israeli retaliation for Iran's attack on October 1, in which around 200 ballistic missiles were fired at Israel, Iran's second direct attack

Shark Tank star Kevin O'Leary sparked a heated reaction from CNN hosts after claiming Kamala Harris was not democratically nominated. During a fiery panel discussion on Thursday, the investor - who has a net worth of $400 million - drew a parallel between stock picking and the selection process for the Democrat presidential nominee. In stock picking, fund managers get paid millions to pick stocks they believe will succeed. But despite their lofty reputations, they mostly deliver lower returns than those who simply put money into a fund that tracks the stock market.

Black patrons at a Chicago convenience store told the clerk, a popular YouTube creator, that they support Donald Trump over Kamala Harris because “immigrants are taking over,” “Trump be looking out for the black community,” and fear of “World War III” under a Harris presidency. Khalid Attaf, a comedic YouTuber with nearly one million subscribers, decided to switch up the style of his typical prank-style videos and asked his customers if they support “Trump or Kamala” while they were paying for their items. The video, uploaded October 4, revealed an overwhelming amount of pro-Trump responses over the vice president:

For the first time ever, Neiman Marcus has rebranded its 98-year-old 'Christmas Book' gift catalogue, which has now been called a 'Holiday Book'.

According to the story, which The Guardian published, a former model named Stacey Williams, “who says she met Donald Trump through the late sexual abuser Jeffrey Epstein... has accused the former president of groping and sexually touching her in an incident in Trump Tower in 1993, in what she believed was a ‘twisted game’ between the two men.” It was curious that after it broke, I couldn’t find any domestic media outlets that had picked it up.
