Actually, the true challenge is how any candidate who truly WINS their election can take their rightful position before it's stolen. Right now, we appear to have selections by elites instead of elections by the people.

One single man - elected by "We The People" - managed to blow the entire "Deep State" out of the muddy waters . . .

It is up to you folks now - to decide - which direction you want to take!

You are missing something about the divide of people/voters who dislike Trump. Most democrat voters will NEVER vote for a republican under any circumstance. Have you ever met one of these people and engaged them in a friendly debate about Trump? It's totally pointless. Approximately half the population is incapable of critical thought.

Thanks for this piece. Everyone's "Trump experience" appears to be different, but everyone has one. In 2016 I also thought he was a comic, performer and not fit for the job. The nuclear war waged against him for his entire term by powerful forces I had only vaguely been aware of previously, and that came out into the open to fight him, all forced me to (reluctantly) see him now as a hero. And, also reluctantly, I now see enemies I did not see before: NYT, CNN, long-term congressmen (both R and D), universities, and even the medical establishment.

Well said. On your comment about half of the country, I hear that a lot, that half of the country are on the left/against Trump. Back a couple years ago just after Biden took office, I spent a little time looking at the YouTube White House pages for the Trump White House and then the Biden White House. This was when YouTube still had a counter on the thumbs down/dislike button.

On every random video I clicked on the Trump White House page where Trump was speaking, there were approximately 5-10 times as many likes as dislikes. On every random video I clicked on the Biden White House page where Biden was speaking, there were approximately 5-10 times as many dislikes as likes.

I know this isn't exact statistics and doesn't prove anything completely, but it seems to me based on these numbers that only about 10-20% of the country at best is far left progressive liberals who are completely behind Biden and against Trump. What I'm saying is I believe the country is more like 80/20 or 90/10 conservatives to progressives and not even close to the 50/50 split that they lead us to believe. My theory is that's why YT removed the dislike counter, so that people wouldn't be able to see the ratio and know what the split actually is.

Very well said. I have personally experienced TDS in my own family. It’s a sight to see and hear. The rage, anger and the sheer will to have Trump die! I was shocked!!!

What a joy to read this essay, although I believe he IS up for it. However with Dominion voting systems in play and new voters coming over the border, I have no hope that a non-democrat will ever win again in my lifetime. Sad.

"During his presidency, Trump was brave and scrappy and had good instincts, but he was totally lacking in sophistication about how to deal with the vipers who surrounded him." YES! Bottom line for me: Trump gained popularity out of the zeitgeist that government is broken, and he was the man to fix it. As an outsider, he had no dog in the fight, and could come in to see where reforms needed to happen. But the 'in theory' did not work out in practice.

His Achilles heel, is that he completely underestimated the power, entrenchment, and ruthlessness of the DC establishment. (the swamp) Effective business leaders rarely micromanage, they delegate to focus on the big picture. Trump is a big picture guy. Unfortunately, the big picture eliminates the details - who is trustworthy vs self-interested, who is stroking his ego to get what they want vs telling him what he doesn't want to hear, and so on. The problem with an outsider in DC is that they have a steep learning curve in how things really work behind the scenes. Time and again he was undermined by some of his own people, and he seemed slow to catch on before a lot of damage was done. Big picture people tend to fail at digging into the weeds, and the weeds are often where there are lessons to be learned. So, to me, the question of whether Trump is the guy in 2024 can only be answered if he is to show he HAS learned from his mistakes in his last term. Regardless of his successes in both policy and actions (like the SC picks, mostly), the blunting effect of the non-stop efforts to undermine him were insurmountable. His constant desire to pick fights with his detractors created way too many distractions, and his inability to restrain himself in these situation helped him snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Too many of my friends who are rabid Trump supporters are too quick to pin him with the savior medal. The only savior (besides Jesus Christ) is We the People - this job is too big for one person, We all need to do our part to push back, to engage, and to hold people accountable. Too many are content to bitch on their platform(s) of choice vs acting. Support good candidates. Attend meetings from school board, city, county government to state capital testimony and rallies. Write, call, and meet with your elected officials. Donate or volunteer for groups making a difference. I knocked over 2000 doors last year and way too many people are apathetic, uninformed, and/or angry. Anger is useless unless you use it to motivate yourself to do something positive. MOST of those who are angry never followed up when I suggested productive outlets for that anger.

Dr. McCullough is one of my heroes, as he has channeled his discontent in positive ways - informing people, speaking out, and taking the hits that come with that.

Trump is a divider. With his nick names, his divisive language, it merely divides rather than brings people together. I voted for him twice but once he backed and continued to push the "vaccine" even after it was known to be a killer, and I lost my sister to it, I no longer back him. I gave him the grace thinking, "well, he was deceived by Fauci" but once the truth was out, and he pushed it still, he lost me. He took a million dollars from Pfizer. That turned me off too. No, I have begun to believe they all are playing the same game. I won't take part.

For better or worse, it is Trump or this county becomes a vassal of the CCP, the WEF, &/or the WHO.

I don’t see DJT signing away our sovereignty to those people in those international alphabet organizations; the UNIPARTY players, undoubtedly will.

With sovereignty intact vaxx & repurposed drug issues can be addressed; w/o sovereignty: no hope.

I'm going with Desantis as he and Lapadapo got it right on covid and they are not putting the vax on child schedule. Trump in an Oreilly interview still brags about vax and operation warp speed saving hundreds of millions of lives after all this time has passed. He still doesn't get it or is too proud to say the vax was wrong and thats not good going forward. He will never admit the vax was wrong b/c his ego won't let him. For all of his quick decision making he was very slow to fire Fauci, Birx, Collins and rely on Scott Atlas more...not good. He was right on Hydroxy but never let IVM into the equation and went ahead with the EUA. These are major points not just small policy disagreements and sadly I can't fight against vax and medical freedom these past 3 years and then throw out my soul to political ideology...not on an issue as big as this.

I have finally read a true understanding of Trump. My take is that he is nothing more than a bull shit artist. He has used that talent to get through his whole life and has been successful at it. But he failed to realize that Fauci and Brix were both massive liars and were better at the BS game than he was. So when we needed true leadership in a time of crisis he failed the test. So do we want someone so self absorbed who can be bullshitted into another dumb decision if another crisis arises and given what’s happening now in Ukraine it’s just a matter of time before it explodes into WWIII. There are much better choices than Trump or Biden. The party that figures this out and doesn’t nominate either one wins big time in 2024.

Do you need to be President to run a country- look at Bill Gates - running the world.

Proof is in the pudding (Biden with his dementia) that Presidents are puppets. Trump wasn’t a puppet but unfortunately managed to get ensnarled with the puppets around him.

Presidents have been irrelevant since at least 1963. They either do what they are told, or are run out of town.

I did not realize most of this until President Trump came to office. Now the curtain is open, and the deep state/MSM is exposed.

During the COVID manipulation I went back and researched 9/11. I'm a structural engineer. Building 7 was clearly controlled demolition and I never realized it. Anyone can clearly note the following: It had no massive structural damage. Building 6 was still marginally intact. More importantly the Verizon and US Post office on either side of Building 7 remained relatively unscathed yet 7 was completely demolished. Its just physically impossible.

It goes deep folks.

Trump ain’t perfect.

But he’s the only anti China, anti globalist candidate. That’s why they hate him!!! It’s all about China and that’s why the corporate media and the rich are pushing back hard on Trump!!! People need to remember this and try to remain objective. The establishment candidates are not bashing China and not doing anything about their presence in Cuba!!!!

The Marxists are making power moves ready to ruin the USA. To abandon the “bull in the China shop” now makes no sense.
