Navi,

I know you know, but just for the record, I said " if he gets the nomination."

He has serious personality issues. I would rather have DeSantis run.

But Trump became a phenomenon because he told the establishment to stick it in their ear, then made a real effort to follow through on his campaign promises. I can't recall any one else who has done so as forcefully, and I think that's why he has such a following. Every other prospective republican candidate is either regarded as or suspected of being part of the uniparty, and conservatives fear they will be afraid to "make trouble" if they get elected. DeSantis has shown real promise in this regard, and it aggravates the crap out of me that Trump attacks him.

It would not surprise me if Trump does all of this (politics) just to feed his ego. I don't see how he's monetarily enriching himself in any way from this foray. I can't help but admire the way he fights off basically the entire world except his base - anyone else would have folded long ago. And while I think he is again being selfish in this regard, I to some extent understand his anger at not getting a second term. He KNOWS he (and we) were cheated. But he can't let it go.

And finally, while the odds are slim, I would love to see him in action if he were to get elected again. He has (hopefully) learned much about handling the entrenched leftist bureaucracy which is the federal government.

But at this point I'd rather DeSantis get the nomination. I think he's more likely to win.

[Navigator]

Understand. But I just hope that people wise up enough that he doesn't get the nomination. DeSantis is FAR preferable. And it is starting to show when people are silent when he attacks DeSantis in public. Which is a good sign.

I am not really sure what he did that was telling the establishment to stick it in their ear, as I don't think he actually did much to rock the boat. There was a lot of hype about "build a wall" or "lock her up". But little was done. I will say that he did make excellent Supreme Court choices, and for that alone he could have been a substantially good president. But what happened after his election lost has been more than shameful. I would have supported him if there had been ANY substantiated cheating. Republicans did fine in Florida where they had mail in voting, and they could have done just as well in other states had they adopted similar tactics in those states to what they did in Florida. But Trump told people NOT TO VOTE BY MAIL.

He is enriching himself now from campaign contributions (or contributions to any of his funds). They are now the major source of his cash flow. They pay for his legal fees, and thanks to nefarious election laws, he can keep any of the money contributed to him that he doesn't actually use in running for office.

As for the uniparty, Trump actually followed that fiscally. There was zero fiscal reform under Trump. In fact, the Covid giveaways substantially contributed to the current inflation issues.

I do want to see action against all of the ills that you pointed out previously. But Republicans have to move on from Trump if they want to have any hope of seeing that. Trump has done nothing but damage himself since Covid (other than the Ginsburg replacement on the Supreme Court).

The following is from a recent opinion piece in the NY Post (a very right wing publication), and, frankly, I agree with it all:

Quote:
This guy.

As some of his allies are trying to rewrite January 6 as an afternoon stroll, Donald Trump is having none of it.

In the face of a possible criminal case in New York, he screamed that “death and destruction” would follow any indictment.

Following news of his possible indictment, Trump blasted the Manhattan DA and his critics on Truth Social.

He posed with a baseball bat aimed at the head of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.

THIS is Donald Trump.

He hasn’t changed in the slightest.

There is no shame.

After riling up rioters, cheering for a coup, and agreeing that his vice president needed to be hanged, he’s back to making violent threats against fellow Americans.

Donald Trump is facing possible indictment in the Stormy Daniels hush money case

But wait, you say.

This is a biased prosecution.

Trump has every right to be upset.

We don’t disagree.

This is not a felony case, and Bragg trying to turn it into one is pure politics.

But rather than seek his vindication in the courtroom, or even just make an impassioned speech, Trump wants to inspire a mob.

Time and time again, Trump’s responses have been unhinged, indicative, and self-defeating.

And don’t buy for a second when he says he’s “fighting for you.”

If you actually “rose up” and were arrested, Trump would abandon you, just as he has every ally who wasn’t useful to him anymore.

What did he do for those locked up for months over Jan. 6?

What cash did he hand over for the candidates he endorsed in the recent midterm elections he torpedoed for Republicans?

Donald Trump promised “death and destruction” if he is indicted.

Ever given Trump money?

If you stop, and even if you don’t, the angry pleas come fast and furious.

Don’t you care!?

How could you abandon him?

We understand voters who rallied to his cause because he vows to fight for them.

There is much wrong with the country.

And yes, it will take someone strong to wade through the thicket of Establishment opposition to change.

But Trump is not trying to make America a better place.

He’s not offering anyone apart from himself a better future.

He’s out for revenge.

This is how Trump has been spending his time since announcing his run for president.

Stewing in Mar-a-Lago.

No grievance is too small.

When he found out that Rihanna once criticized him, he took to Truth Social — multiple times! — to bellow how bad her Super Bowl halftime show was.

He once posted a screed, at 5 o’clock in the morning, about MSNBC’s programming decisions.

When Trump ran in 2016, he was an unknown entity.

Independents took a chance, wanting to break from the stagnant political machines that sought to anoint Hillary Clinton.

But he’s not a mystery anymore.

Americans know that Trump can’t stop himself from nursing piddling grudges and throwing out childish insults.

The emperor has no clothes.

Perhaps you don’t mind.

But there are plenty of middle-of-the-road voters who do.

They saw this behavior in 2020 and the 2022 midterms and said we need less anger and more hope.

Anti-Trump protestors hold placards outside Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office.

Less rage and more rational action to fix the problems facing our nation.

You want a leader who will fight for you?

Then you have to pick someone who can actually get elected.

Republicans can’t throw away their shot in 2024.

** 03-Apr-2023 World View: Trump's Defense

Today we learned that the Chinese
balloon collected and sent back a great
deal of sensitive military information,
even though Biden acted as you suggest
-- he did nothing until the balloon had
reached the Atlantic Ocean, and then
announced that the Chinese balloon had
not captured any information of
consequence.

Navi, If Trump had been President, he would
have shot down the balloon as early as
possible, and then you and people like
you would have criticized him. He would
have told you, in so many words, to
stick it in your ear. And you would
have been SOOOOO offended.

[Navigator]

I certainly would have been for shooting down the balloon the minute it entered US airspace. I would not have criticized any leader for doing so.

I am not sure how Trump shooting it down earlier would have been "sticking it in the ear" of the establishment. (or anyone else)

I think that Biden is naively thinking that not shooting it down would somehow ease tensions with the Chinese. We both know that is impossible.

Biden is trying to placate the Chinese and their apologists. The Chinese are certainly preparing to attack us. We ought to be using any and every method to defend ourselves and prepare for what is coming. Instead, we are trying to return to "business as usual" and do not understand that every new infraction by the Chinese that we allow is only emboldening them.

Will war break out in 2023?

[Tom Mazanec]

I am surprised that there has been nothing posted regarding the upcoming Trump arrest and booking...

It's about time somebody got the book thrown at them, and Trump certainly deserves it. If nothing else, the Democrats will have to be pure for a while.

Glad I gave you a chance here.
A pure political Party is nonsense.

Would you have criticized him or not, Navigator?

Yes, let's stick to the important topics. baba, these guys think America is still salvageable. Only boomers with money and all the resources still have hope, because the ponzi benefits them. Not a love for reality or future generations.

Why does anyone respond to the bish? He's a worse version of aeden, who makes even less sense, if that's possible. Amazing.

Bish won't even answer the verified FACT that the Dems and the 3 letter agencies spied on the president and made things up to try to coup him. And he talks about the "book"? Only deluded, demonic people can think this way, as I said, I know who his father is.

There's a huge circus growing in manhattan. It will be fun to watch all day long.
