That visceral thing...

 




"Donald Trump thought he knew the swamp in 2016, but he only knew a part of it. Now that the swamp has been wrapped around Trump's feet for eight plus years, Donald Trump's knowledge of the swamp has gone up by an order of magnitude from what he knew before."


I had one of those moments of clarity yesterday. I was watching the news, and they showed some of the responses to the Donald Trump "legal" issue. Many on the left were very harsh. So here is my clarity: Under Joe Biden, half the country hates him and what he has done to the country. And most of the other half, tolerate him. There is a small sliver of people who love him (for reasons unknown). Under Donald Trump, half the country has a visceral hatred for him. And the other half love him, for what he did for our country.

Will we ever have a President who may divide the country politically, but not viscerally? I asked my wife this morning, and she doubted it. She thinks we are way too divided now as a country to ever even think of mending. She might be right. 

I do find it interesting that some on the hard core left have seen the red flag. The red flag with what is happening right now to Donald Trump. To many, this looks like a persecution instead of a prosecution. As such, whomever is in power, can do the same thing to the other side. That being said, Joe Biden should be wetting his pants right now. What Hunter's laptop contains is a treasure trove of goodies, for any honest prosecutor to wade through. What is good for the goose is also good for the gander. And Biden's gander is very fowl indeed! (Sorry- I could not resist that one!)

With many in the country, what has happened recently to Donald Trump, as well as what has happened during his Presidency, has lionized him. Almost martyred him. Right now, his approval numbers are more than respectable. If the loony left is torqued at those numbers, here is a news flash - you helped Donald Trump get those numbers. In other words, visceral hatred and a pluralistic system of justice, has made those numbers possible. Might even ensure that 45 will soon be 47.

As much as I like DeSantis, having Trump in 2024 would have this advantage. Donald Trump thought he knew the swamp in 2016, but he only knew a part of it. Now that the swamp has been wrapped around Trump's feet for eight plus years, Donald Trump's knowledge of the swamp has gone up by an order of magnitude from what he knew before. With a friendly Congress, Trump could cut out the cancer, and put this country back on the right track.

Dave and Gary - don't even bother to respond to this. I know your feelings. Donald Trump is not a perfect man, but he certainly is not imperfect like the President we have now. But Trump can fix this country. On that, I would bet the house.
