The Trump Presidency : Year IV
Just wanted to say...

Thank you 45 for reminding a lot of Americans who and what Americans are supposed to be.

He was not perfect....as none of us are but he tried his best and for that I am grateful.

The last 4 years were not about Trunp...they were about US the people that still believe in the Constitution and Bill of Rights...and everything else that makes this country great.

His time in the breach is done but he has handed the standard to 74 million Americans.

We must not be afraid to stand up and be counted as Americans.

We must not think of ourselves as the forlorn hope but those wise men wise brave men in the summer of 1776.

We must not be rash but act with still minds and brave hearts.

The coming years will try our souls and patience we must use those things that make us stronger.

Family

Country

God


Sorry for the drama this morning...I do not mourn for 45 I mourn for my country and where it is heading and what it might become.

Lastly, I am not normally a man of prayer but I pray today passes peacefully...for all of our sakes.

On Sunday before election day President Trump was doing a speech 0in Miami late at night, it was scheduled to end at like 11:30 pm. My wife bet that he would stay in Trump Doral after the speech and fly out the next day. We booked a room and headed down. It is a magnificent property. We have stayed there a few times so we didn't do too much. Had dinner and hung out and watched Fox News all night.
Next morning at 7 I got up with my son to go get coffee and it looked like a swat invasion had happened over night. I got chills, literal chills. Secret service said we could watch from a small porch by the valet stand. We ran over, got wanded and waited. The hotel has a main building and several smaller buildings of rooms. A building to our left had the beast and several other vehicles out front.

We waited for about 45 minutes and saw all of the headliners like Kayleigh McEnany and Jared Kushner etc.

Then out came our President. Upon seeing us on the porch, he bypassed the beast, walked up the hill and came over to us.



I stood there with my son cheering him on, THANKING HIM, we all lifted him as best as we could. Then he spoke to us, not in a campaign RA RA way, he just talked to us. Asked questions, and seemed to earnestly listen. We were awestruck. The guy gave a shit, was my biggest take away. He was in many ways a normal guy and very much an abnormal guy because he was so normal. I know that seems an odd thing to say. But standing there on the last day he had to campaign before a massive election, he took 6 minutes to speak with the people.

It would have been so easy to wavy, throw a fist pump and duck in the car. But he didn't do that. HE didn't want to do that. He wanted to talk to us. It was an amazing experience.


I had said about 12 months ago that I had added a bucket list item. I wanted to thank him for his service to our country. I got to do that. I cried a little and I wasn't the only one. I had an overwhelming sense of hope for our country that day. I don't feel the same way today but I believe that as American's we can do it again.

Never give up!

God Bless you President Trump!

Received my weekly piece of mail from the RNC yesterday asking for donations; mulling over in my mind over what I'd love to tell me. I feel that both the D and R parties are heading for the abyss.

I’m trying not to be emotional here. I watched President Trump as he spoke at JB Andrews and kept watching until AF 1 disappeared into the clouds.
President Trump IS undoubtedly the greatest President of my lifetime!
GOD bless President Donald J. Trump and his family and God bless the United States of America.

I just told my wife not to throw away any mail from the RNC or the RSCC and to answer any soliciting calls. I would love to have a word with them.

I think this is the most important thing he could do. The media needs purged before you can work on the swamp. I third party can't win a rigged election. Period.

One thing that truly impressed me about President Trump was his unwavering support of our military. He never endangered them needlessly, tossing away lives on a whim.
And most of all he never ever talked above the American citizen, young, old, male, female, any race.
He spoke for them. Their hope's and dream's, concern's and fear's, their right to live their life as they chose, not some one else deciding their life's path for them.
Thank you President Trump for drawing all the Conservative traitors, military traitors and the ruling "elite" traitors to our country out for the people to know.
We are grateful to you, and wishing you the best in the future.

I think the best we can do now is watch and listen to what President Trump says and does. He's still the President he's just not working out of the White House. I'm guessing he and Melania will take several well deserved weeks or months to relax and decompress. Then President Trump needs to take the reigns back on his business.

It may be a year or more before we hear of any plans of what he may do. And don't forget the left is going to continue to attack him while he is out of office. They know he still has 70 million plus strong army behind him and they will want to destroy him in a way he can never mount any kind of a comeback. Until then keep our heads low and stay off the radar as much as we can from this new regime.

This seems a sad day to me. The end of a truly great Presidency and the beginning of at least four years of misery.
Thank you Donald Trump. I believe history will treat you a whole lot better than the last four years have.

I find myself today with a profound amount of sadness and anger as well as a sliver of hope.

I am mad at the media cartel for hating America and deceiving my fellow Americans.
I am mad at the GOP for being afraid to lead and for giving a flying fuck about the media and talking to them. Why talk to people who only twist your words?
I am mad at the democrat party for being evil anti American scum. They hate me and I hate them.
I am sad that people who I considered to be intelligent fell for the left’s 5 year media barrage.

I am also hopeful.

It was the pain of Obama and his colossal failures that brought us Trump. The media tried mightily but they were unable to hide his massive failures.

I have hope and confidence that once the Democrats have fucked up enough we will see a course direction. I have hope that people have seen that our media is neither free or fair. I think people are finally beginning to open their eyes. The left’s monopoly on media is I believe at its pinnacle right now. I foresee a long hard road ahead for legacy media outlets as more and more alternatives will appear and check their bullshit leftist narrative. Fox News previously showed that people want an alternative to the leftist bullshit and the viability of such a media outlet.

This was a close election despite a 24/7/365 media assault the likes of which the world has never seen before.

stickman, I have similar feelings today.



"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

Hope we haven't seen the last of him or his brand of Patriotism. Thank you President Trump for four good years.

The most important thing the Trump administration has done for me, more important than the tax cuts, the low unemployment, rebuilding the military etc. (I could go on) is that there really is a deep state and it is so powerful.

When watching his speeches in 2015 he would call out the deep state and I would think "just more political BS" Everything he said has been proven true. We must fight this from the bottom up. He would call out fake news and I would think"yes they are biased but it can't be that bad" I was wrong.

I am 64 years old. Old enough to had watched Reagan, and Nixon. And of course Carter. Trump has been the best in my lifetime. Reagan needed a Carter, Trump needed an Obama, let's see what the aftermath of Joe and the ho brings. My only fear is that we may be too far gone by that time.

I know people here are glum today and that's ok. I think we need to start working now, well maybe tomorrow, to fix this instead of saying"I will never vote again"

Take care,

Jim
