When Trump announced in 2015 I thought, owe swell this pompous ass may well grenade any conservative chance at the election. I was a Scott Walker/Ted Cruze fan. I really thought he was a Rhino closet liberal.
As the primary race continued I took note of several things he said amidst all the BS.
The highlight for me was this:
He openly admitted to being a swamp creature albeit from a different swamp (business) and talked about how that gave him an edge knowing how the political corruption functioned. He'd had to deal with these political goat fuckers to get his projects approved.
For context, I work for a very large construction firm that will not do business in New York, New Jersey, or Boston for this very reason. If you aren't willing to prostitute your ethics then working there is not an option & it's been that way for a long time. I knew right then that he was not only telling the truth, but that he was spot on and not interested in becoming part of the political swamp. No he planned to use his inside knowledge against them!
When he won the nomination in 2016 I wanted a little more background and found this clip among others. Very consistent with what he was saying during his campaign. If you take the time to listen to this video from 1987, keep in mind it was done as a result of Trump taking out a full page add in the New York times @ a cost of $95,000 his own money cause he was pissed about our foreign policy & Reagan was president at the time.
Then he gave us a list of his potiential supreme court picks for us, the people to judge prior to his election. Who else has ever done that?
I was definitely warming up to him, but mindful of a wise saying my father told me when I was 8. "consequences always bear out the truth"
Being an optimistic cynic by nature I voted for him in 16 with hope & low expectations.
He has far exceeded my expectations. Someone else up thread mentioned they hate executive orders & I tend to agree, but used in the right context they serve a purpose. I despised most of Obama's perverse EO's & I'd like to challenge any Democrat on here to give me an example of an Obama executive order that wasn't perverse and directly benefited US citizens?????
Below is an example of one of Trumps executive orders that will due just that.
If he gets another term, it will begin to bear fruit!
This is justified in my mind for 2 reasons:
- He gave a charge to congress to due this & gave them 3 1/2 years (nothing).
- The pharmaceutical company's are in so many politicians pockets I dought this would ever happen were it left to them.
I think it's a very well written and extremely strategically effective executive order. Once the people have experienced the benafits they will demand it be codified into law by 2024. Also because it is a EO it gives cover to the crooked fucker legislators beholden to big pharma.
Of course you didn't hear jack shit about it cause Orange man bad!
Americans have long complained that drug companies overcharge U.S. patients for medicines that cost much less elsewhere. A quartet of executive orders from President Trump will change that.

While I'm on a roll, look at the Israeli peace treaty just signed. I don't know if it will work long term but it's Fucking brilliant. First Trump moved the embassy to Jerusalem and officially recognized it as their capital (promised by many presidents since 1948). UN voted to condemn us for it, but Orange man doesn't give a shit! This was a key first step & sent a strong message to our Arab pseudo allies. We have a bad reputation for leaving our allies holding the bag so this action was critical. Then Trump does the unexpected and negotiates a peace treaty between Israel, UAE, & Bahrain fully normalizing relations while completely ignoring Palestine (Brilliant). There will be other Arab's joining & now when Palestinian Rockets rain down on Jerusalem, they'll be hitting UAE, Bahrain embassy's (not wise). He's creating a strategic alliance that will force Palestine to negotiate reasonably when they're finally brought back to the table.
You never Trumper types need to turn off the CNN/MSNBC cesspool and educate yourselves with some good independent non swamp thinkers like Michael Savage or Ben Shapiro. How many of you know that CNN/MSNBC are not regulated by the FCC? This was by design, unlike all other local news radio etc.
Below are snippets taken directly from the FCC on their stance for regulated broadcast news & the fact they do not regulate content of cable news.
CNN = Cable News Network (Hint).
The above is a big Fucking problem for our country. We have a huge segment of our population that are drugged via antidepressants, psychotropics of various flavors, & now marijuana cards. They are very suggestible & we see this playing out in Potland, Seattle, & MN.
My Father was a wise man and indeed the consequences are revealing the truth.
There's a lot wrong with this country and certainly Trump cant fix it all, but he is all that's standing in the breach right now and I'm 100% voting for him.
To the snow flakes that think he's mean here's an analogy. If you were after an enemy combatant that ran into a hole would you want to send a poodle or a Malinois after him? Soros, Bloomberg, Antifa, BLM, & many more are the enemy combatants we're facing.
I'll end with this.
If the only thing Trump promised to due in the next four years was to appoint 1 more Supreme court justice from his list, I'd vote for him.
He could give his inaugural speech with his dick hanging out for all I care!
