Has Trump outsmarted everybody?

His original candidacy struck me as a poor joke.

But by halfway through the election year, we saw one opposing pretender after another show their true stripes. Once Sanders fell to his knees, a Hillary supplicant, the die was cast. By the time of the election it was pretty clear Trump was the only possible way to oppose the direction things would otherwise be taken.

I saw little in his 1st term to convince me otherwise. The devious persecution and obstruction he dealt with made it obvious that he alarmed those bent on other goals for the US and the world. Goals that don't sit well with me.

Then another election, and more fiascos. Followed by four years of a doddering puppet, above the law and providing cover for the deep rot within D.C. Lawfare and raids continued, as well as two assassination attempts.

By the third election, more and more of us were freeing ourselves of the Stockholm Syndrome that had been holding us to a party that had long left us behind. In greater numbers, from every walk of life, people were standing up and shouting NO MORE! This was enough to overcome election shenanigans once again.

And in 2025 if nothing else he can say that he is doing as he promised his supporters.
 
It's not funny but pitiful what people believe when they see it in CNN, Washington Post, or CSNBC. Like Biden is physically and mentally at the top of his game. Until he wasn't. The laptop didn't belong to Hunter. Until it did. That Trump gets his rocks off by being pissed on by a Russian whore. Until that was proven to be a lie.
 
Yeah, I agree. But for the sake of discussion, let's say that I didn't. Should I believe that just because any media source anywhere says it vs. the things Trump always says, and continues to say after they have debunked by any media source anywhere? Or should I think what I actually think, that all politicians are the biggest liars in the world. That is what I have thought since I was in high school. And year after year, they keep proving me right. It doesn't matter what flavor they are. A liar is a liar is a liar... You can't trust any of them. That is why I usually laugh at what some people say. I'm think "How can you possibly believe that nonsense?" but I'm too damn polite to say that to anyone.

Trump gave us something we haven't had in a long time, hope. Lets hope the power doesn't change him.
I just hope he stops trying to take over all theses other counties it will be a full-time job just saving America from the previous RINOS and socialist before him.
I also wonder who will fill these blue-collar jobs since our youth refuse to work at a labor type job.

Listen to first 3 minutes of this video howe Gen Z refuses to work,

The good news is that it isn't all of them. Plenty enough to be disturbing though. Maybe we'll finally see a culture shift back to normalcy and some of them will feel foolish living on the dole.

I assume you refer to Canada and Greenland. A problem is the growing security threat from "over the pole."

I think he wants to goad Canada into stepping up. Greenland doesn't have the resources to do it on their own though.

52% of Americans think the country is on the right track for the first time in decades.

52% of the people that they talked to think that, but that doesn't really reflect the opinions of all Americans. The funny thing about those polls is that they only get local opinions of the area where the surveys are conducted. Ask the same questions in California and it would definitely not be 52%.

The vast majority of people think of two primary things when asked how they think about whether the country is on the right track. What's happening where they live, and what they think of the current Presidential Administration's job performance when they are asked about it. Californians overwhelmingly disapproved of the 2016 - 2020 Trump Administration's job performance, and this survey shows that opinions here haven't changed very much...

PPIC Statewide Survey: Californians and Their Government
These are the key findings of the Californians and Their Government survey on the changing federal landscape, national issues, state issues, and the state budget that was conducted February 4–11, 2025.
 
Seems that Congress either hasn't seen that or they don't care. They're too busy arguing about petty nonsense. Too bad you can't Impeach a Do Nothing Congress.

Just in case you never heard that term, President Truman referred to the 80th US Congress as a "Do Nothing Congress" because they only passed 906 Bills that eventually became Public Laws. Now take a wild guess as to how many "Do Something Congress'" there have been since 1948?

Edit: Forgotten words...
Edit 2: Time to unveil the hidden text:

There's been three. The 81st, 84th and 85th. That means between 1949 and 2025 it's been one "Do Nothing Congress" after another. Don't you think it's time we elect a Congress that will work together and get things done?

Smithy asked :
What do you people in the USA think of Trump? Good or bad guy?

He has never told the truth about anything I know of. Avoids questions by asking questions, is clearly pious, has focused way to much on organizations that he has no need to worry about. If you going to work at ending corruption (the end will never happen )
start in your personal turf and go from there. I think he is a classic dictator in many ways, and so many are willing to ignore that.
Even with all his Bad, I do agree with some of his policies, but his attitude and demeanor, self righteousness, takes away all the good he could do. So not good .
 
He's the poster boy for Malignant Narcissism, a Pathological Liar, and a Tried and Convicted of 34 Felony Charges. This video covers quite well why I think he's not only not a Christian, but quite the opposite.

 
A lion or a moth. Donald Trump also has a moth named for him. He is one of the few politicians who gives honor to God. Melania begins speeches with the Lord's Prayer. I was surprised when he did not place his hand on the Bible to be sworn in. But it turns out the Bible states one is not to swear ON anything but to say what one intends.
The 34 felonies were presented in confusion and the judge recommended if the jury found one to hold, all would pertain to the judgement. Lawfare was used in excess against Trump.
He is a strong leader which we need to undo all the harm done in Biden's name. Biden was not the President. It is being found and presented with the excessive use of the auto pen and his dementia which made him a mere puppet. Worldwide we need him to stand up against the WEF and I know few who could.
Trump had less money than any of the recent presidents after taking the office. He does not take the salary. He loses money by being President.
Recently I am NOT happy that he is supporting Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac opening the opportunity of another real estate boom and bust.

That "Lawfare" you mentioned got him sentenced to an "conditional discharge, a sentence that affirms he’s a convicted felon, but one where he will face no further penalties, fines or any time in jail." NPR

In other words, just like George Bush when he skated on SEC charges and Martha Stewart went to jail for the exact same thing, Trump got away with a slap on his little hands.

Neither am I. But the question is, do you understand why he's doing that?
