Our life on the end of the branch...

"The extraordinary things that Donald Trump did in his four years, I have addressed many times before. People who were not blinded by red hot hatred for Trump, could see it also. Those however, who could not let their reason triumph over their hatred, ended up on the end of the branch with saw in hand."

"It is like cutting off your nose to spite your face". Remember that expression? Now think of the fix we are in right now. Many people in 2020, voted for Joe Biden for only one reason. They could not stand those mean tweets, sent by Donald Trump. Never mind the fact our economy was booming, and we were (for the first time in forever) energy independent. So many independents and RINOs, cut off their collective noses, in spite of their collective faces. Or as the graphic shows, they were at the edge of the branch, cutting it off - from the wrong side. And once the branch was cut, we ended up with Slo Joe Biden. 

Here is my biggest concern about 2024. And please - no hate mail. I am just being honest. First, let me set the table, as I have many times before. At the start of the campaign in 2016, I was not a Trump guy. I was a Cruz guy. However, once Trump won the endorsement, I was all on board with Donald Trump beating Hillary.

Now that Donald Trump's four years are over, I think history will judge him very well. In particular, Operation Warp Speed, and the Abraham Accords. Those were beyond historic. They were game changers. Because of those two huge accomplishments, as well as others, the "pluses" on Trump's report card are big pluses. But Trump's inability to play well with others, as well as those "mean tweets", were enough to move many swing voters over to the dark side. And on that dark side of course, lives Slo Joe Biden.

Now is where I might get the hate mail. I know, I know. The election in 2020 stunk to high heaven. However to date, nothing has been proved which could change the outcome. Would I be surprised if something unnatural did pop up which would change the outcome? Not a bit. Do I think if Donald Trump ran again and won, he would once again be a game changing President? Absolutely. That being said, I don't think he should run. I think he should be a cheerleader, and a mentor, for a newer, younger version of himself. Only one who knows how to play with others a bit better than Donald Trump did.

Donald Trump did so many things which we can be thankful for. Some extraordinary, and others revealing. The most revealing thing Donald Trump did, at the cost of his re-election, was exposing how deep the Deep State really is. How many branches of government have been infected. Like the DOJ, FBI and the intelligence services. 

The extraordinary things that Donald Trump did in his four years, have addressed many times before. People who are not blinded by a red hot hatred for Donald Trump, can see it also. Those however, who could not let their reason triumph over their hatred, ended up on the end of the branch, with saw in hand.

My biggest fear if Donald Trump ran again, those same people would be on that same branch - sawing. And we could end up with Harris or Buttigieg as President. Either one could or would be a disaster. A disaster which could make this cold war much, much hotter.
