Donald Trump Is Still The One

|

“I hate ingratitude more in a man than lying, vainness, babbling, drunkenness, or any taint of vice whose strong corruption inhabits our frail blood.”

– From Act 3, Scene 4 of William Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night

I truly don’t care how many times the most corrupt people on earth indict Donald Trump on bogus charges. He will remain my nonnegotiable choice for 2024.

And I know I’m far from the only one who feels that way.

Donald Trump is a fighter who gets things done. And when he fights, it’s for us, the American people. That’s why he’s driven the corrupt so insane with hate.

Before Trump came along, Republicans could be counted on to back down from every fight. Democrats and their media lackeys learned from experience that attacking a Republican as racist and lazily comparing him or her to Hitler would yield docility in short order.

Democrats had a simple playbook and no reason to update it.

But Donald Trump changed all that. He rendered the Democrats’ old playbook useless.

Far from shrinking from the slander, lies, and outrageous attacks, Donald Trump–in a fashion reminiscent of another Republican game-changer named Theodore Roosevelt–has always reveled in the fight against horrible people.

Trump completely transformed the GOP (on the national level at least) from a do-nothing, pushover party into a doer party, and everyone came to see that “America First” was more than just a slogan. We finally had an elected official on the national stage who didn’t back down and who not only kept his promises–he actually delivered above and beyond what he promised.

Intelligent citizens noticed and were grateful. Over 11 million more Americans gave Trump their vote in 2020 compared to 2016 (Obama in contrast received over 3 million FEWER votes his second time around, and that was against the weakling Mitt Romney).

Trump voters saw through the unprecedented lies, hoaxes, propaganda, and vicious attacks which corrupt journos gleefully promoted on behalf of their Democrat masters.  

It’s Donald Trump’s Republican Party now and that’s not going to change any time soon, no matter how much his GOP primary opponents want to fantasize to the contrary.

What exactly do Trump’s Republican challengers tell Republican voters? Thus far it’s something along these lines: “I’ll get things done like Donald Trump did, but I’ll be nicer about it so the Democrats won’t gin-up so many sham indictments against me.”

Yeah, good luck with that.

The simple fact is, if we abandon Donald Trump now, the Democrats have their new playbook. Any Republican in the future who fights back and accomplishes positive things for America will face the same kind of over-the-top corrupt persecution Donald Trump has faced for 7 years.

The lily-livered lickspittles out there saying we just need to throw in the towel and “move on” from the man who fought and worked his ass off for us the most, might as well be working for the DNC.  

Every Republican challenger in the presidential field should be uniting with Donald Trump in saying enough is enough with the Democrats’ weaponization of federal law enforcement for corrupt political purposes.

And it’s absurd to suggest you can unite with Donald Trump on this issue at the same time you’re trying to capitalize on the weaponization by challenging Trump in the primary.

It’s not like the Republican challengers would even be making some big sacrifice if they pulled the plug on their campaigns at this point and united with Donald Trump. Their campaigns were already doomed from the start.

The Republican seen as having the best shot at the nomination against Trump (right now that appears to be Ron DeSantis but it’s possible that could change) is going to have the support of the Bushies, Roves, Ryans, McConnells, Cheneys, Romneys, Kinzingers, Christies—you name it. Basically every name that is toxic to the Republican base of today will be in the anyone-but-Trump camp. 

And that means they lose the nomination to Donald Trump, massively.

The Republican Party isn’t going back to its failed past where it mostly existed to serve the donor class. It’s unthinkable, especially now that Donald Trump has shown us the GOP can in fact be a party that accomplishes good things for every citizen of this country.

We didn’t come this far only to watch the likes of Jeb Bush and Liz Cheney celebrate the installment of “their guy.”

If Trump’s Republican challengers stay in the race now, it’s only because they smell blood in the water with the possibility of still more sham indictments to come against Trump. But that only exposes them as even more selfish, egotistical, and out-of-touch.

Trump voters have long memories, and they certainly aren’t going to forget any opportunistic vultures circling around hoping Joe Biden’s corrupt DOJ is successful in doing its worst against Donald Trump.

Donald Trump convinced millions of new voters of all races and creeds to vote Republican for the first time in their lives. But I have news for Ron DeSantis and all the rest—those folks are gone if Donald Trump is gone.

The GOP grew and became more diverse because of Donald Trump. He inspires loyalty and enthusiasm because intelligent people finally see a politician fighting for THEM and happily taking all the slings-and-arrows in the process.

Those millions of new voters Trump brought to the table aren’t sticking around for some opportunistic ingrate who abandons a good man like Trump when he’s under fire by the worst people in the world.

They know, just as I do, that anyone who would abandon the best President we’ve had in generations will abandon us too as soon as the going gets tough.

What Republican presidential aspirants do in the coming weeks and months will determine which of them can EVER have a realistic shot at becoming president in 2028 and beyond.

Maybe there is one or more challengers in the current presidential field who will be deserving of being President one day. We’ll see.

But for 2024, Donald Trump is the one. The only one.
