Ahem, aren't you forgetting something, Glenn? The lockdowns that ruined businesses and crashed economies and letting the lying Pharma companies off scot-free with legal immunity with killing people with their vaccine (which isn't really a vaccine at all) as a result of a virus that seriously affected only the old and those with serious illnesses already?
I'm having a t-shirt made up for all Trump voters: Fooled by Fauci. Or did I miss something in your piece?
Steve, I'm not forgetting the daily death toll counts from the Chi-Nah plague. Trump was damned if he did, and double-damned if he didn't. Here's someone who was watching:
"Trump deserves Gratitude for Warp Speed Vaccine" by Michael Goodwin, NY Post: "It is now an established fact that the numerous naysayers who predicted President Trump could never deliver a vaccine this year were wrong. Thankfully, he did what they insisted couldn't be done."
Steve: I would hope you give your newly designed shirt to ALL DEM VOTERS as well as MSM talking heads: see Nicolle Wallace! Almost every Trump voter or GOPer I knew KNEW Fauxi was LYING through his teeth!
Might want chat w/Mitch McConnell on that immunity provision. Fauci fooled no one w/any sense. Covid lockdowns, mask mandates & nonsense was the product of federal bureaucrats & dimwit state health depts. After all, Trump wasn’t actually a king or dictator.
Not a dictator but in charge. "The buck stops here" is a sentence you will never hear Donald say about COVID-19. Fooled by the scarf lady and Fauci all the way down the line.
Trump never MANDATED anything. That was wholly the Democrats.
20-20 hindsight is a luxury that a world leader does not have the luxury of having in the midst of a pandemic.
IF covid had broken as bad as the left was screeching it was, even the left would be carving Trump into Rushmore by now for warp speed. Also remember Trump suggested looking into the efficacy of ivermectin and the deepstate/ big pharma nearly plotzed as that would have voided the EUA.
Pullllease. Trump, for all his boast of being so smart, was in the end, outsmarted by Fauci and the scarf lady. The people in these comments need to do is do a little research before commenting. I am done. I cannot educate everybody. Goodbye.
Do you have any evidence that Operation Warpspeed failed to keep alive a significant number of people that were or weren't "old and affected by serious illnesses"? Your comment suggests that you have little regard for the old and those with serious illnesses.
Nice tribute to a man who (I also believe) dearly loves America and nearly every American (You know who you are). I'm convinced that if the various lawfare results in eliminating Trump from his second term, the democrats will have the template to use in every national election. They won't need factual evidence, all they will need are liars. And they're a dime-a-dozen on the left.
And I do not care if Mike Pence is planning to vote for Trump.
Excellent appeal to reason, which is in limited supply at present in our country. I always admit that Trump is bombastic, but as you note, most of his policy initiatives were on target to make our country's economy better for everyone. He can get through to many people who usually turn off politicians' rhetoric. He has my support.
In all fairness, it was clear from the absolute refusal to use any and all weapons at our disposal (vitamins, ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine--which Trump DID try to espouse) that the medical/military industrial complex already had the vaccines in their back pockets and were going to deploy them regardless of anything Trump said or did. He is unfortunately still blind to this.
Glenn: Excellent observations as always, BUT, I noticed that you included "W" for the claim that Saddam had WMD. While he certainly stated that, if my memory serves, in 1995, during the Clinton Admin, the claim that "Saddam Haddem" started! Both Clintons, and, by 1996, Albright, Kerry, Cohen et al. were all swearing on a stack of Bibles that Iraq harbored WMD. The vote to go to war was 99:1 in the Senate, with the lone abstainer being Lincoln Chaffee of RI, a GOP senator, who was later tossed out by his voters. I DO think the cry for WMD in Iraq happend long before 2001 when "W" was inaugurated! Just MHO.
Also, possession or attempt to create WMDs was only one of many justifications for military action, and it was not listed first. Read the actual motion to know what Congress actually voted on.
Right with you until " Perhaps the worst thing he did was something he didn’t do – he didn’t immediately call on the January 6 rioters to go home. He also unsuccessfully pressured Vice President Pence to refuse to certify the Electoral College votes against his reelection."
At the time required to make sense of the goings on and issue a cease and desist there was no one within earshot. And Pence ignored a procedural step taken more than once by the dhimmicrats to influence elections with which they did not agree.
Otherwise I generally concern myself with the Californication of my formerly, and foolishly, chosen state of the now California East.
Agree. Why would he tell “rioters” to go home when he didn’t know they would be rioters? And if he was “unsuccessful” in persuading Pence to do his duty, blame Pence, who was all too happy to cave at the first opportunity.
We don't need to consider Trump's personality, mean tweets, success at preventing war, his superb economy, etc. All we need to consider is that the leftists who appear to inexplicably desire that we all perish in a nuclear war, starve to death while eating bugs, impoverish ourselves in an attempt to control the weather, or just hack off our genitals and fade away as a world power; THOSE people, fear Trump like Satan fears the return of Christ. WHY do they tremble at the thought of this man returning? They fear that DJT will subvert their plans... If they cower in fear at the sight of the Orange Man, that is the only endorsement needed.
Great piece, Glenn. As usual. You are being the gentleman and I get and support it. I have a different view from the world of being a soldier from '88-'o2, a mechanical engineer designing and manufacturing highly profitable machined in America products, and a volunteer firefighter at night.
I voted for Cruz in the 2016 primary and immediately know my mistake as all of my friends were like... WTF? "Cruz is a globalist, Dan..." I then started to shift my prism and uncovered how the republican party is indeed globalist; "new world order" crap. "Free trade" which is nothing more than the Marshall Plan on steroids shifting our manufacturing to everywhere else but here for a 'cost savings' and thus a 'bonus'. In this time the republican 'gentlemen' campaigned on 'free trade'("tariffs are a tax on Americans"), bringing down obamacare, tax cuts, and low immigration. And then governed like democrats growing government probably more than LBJ. More importantly, the 'republicans' implemented the weaponization of government via the Patriot Act that is now being used to spy on Americans and put my fellow veterans in jail for standing on PUBLIC property taking pictures.
Two+ states were about to motion for a delay in certification and a 'melee' was implemented to interrupt said motions and close the session which was reopened under different rules which didn't allow the motions to delay. The fake pipe bombs were the backup plan. Mike Pence did not have to open the certificates per Aricle II.
Donald Trump looks humble compared to executives I work with as they are highly ethical, competitive and successful.
Remember: John McCain and the republican party are good friends with George Soros(Cindy having dinner with Alex recently). Donald Trump is not and was absolutely faithful to the Constitution.
Also: Trump told Afghanny leaders: "You kill an American and I will kill you." No Americans died until establishment republicans and democrats took power kicking Trump out.
NO OTHER person - past or present - could have withstood all the @#$%^&* that was launched with such coordinated force and venom at this man, and also at his FAMILY members! (Don Jr receiving multiple DOZENS of subpoenas.) And yet Trump soldiers on, in mostly good cheer, FOR AMERICA.
Pullllease. Trump, for all his boast of being so smart, was in the end, outsmarted by Fauci and the scarf lady. The people in these comments need to do is do a little research before commenting. I am done. I cannot educate everybody. Goodbye.
Unfortunately, persuasion is not limited to appeals to reason, as good as yours is. The world is awash with vast sums of money arrayed against the return of Trumpian populism. We will not be allowed to win, no matter how good our arguments are about policy and effective governance.
To be a player in D.C. one must have sharp edges and a bit of cut-throat S.O.B. Anyone surviving in N.Y. real estate requires that and more. That and ruthlessness required to simply confront D.C.’s bureaucratic pig pen. (Address and reverse a greater step.) In D.C. “nice”, “decent” lasts less time than a Biden ice cream cone.
In Novermber we have two choices, Trump or chaos continuing and increasing. They are truly binary and not the laughable use of the word by the mentally confused.

Don't let the door hit you...
Yeah, the common sense message
Do you have any evidence that Operation Warpspeed failed to keep alive a significant number of people that were or weren't "old and affected by serious illnesses"? Your comment suggests that you have little regard for the old and those with serious illnesses.

I always admit that Trump is bombastic, but as you note, most of his policy initiatives were on target to make our country's economy better for everyone. He can get through to many people who usually turn off politicians' rhetoric. He has my support.
His best trait IMO: Trump stands up to the leftists, tells them what they don’t want to hear, and doesn’t back down or apologize. I love him for that.
Might have been better if he failed to deliver a vaccine at all! Just ask the 20-somethings and all the people that died from it.
In all fairness, it was clear from the absolute refusal to use any and all weapons at our disposal (vitamins, ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine--which Trump DID try to espouse) that the medical/military industrial complex already had the vaccines in their back pockets and were going to deploy them regardless of anything Trump said or did.

C’mon man, the Donald’s nicknames are epic if corny! Seems we must accept the widespread incurable irrationality & yet manage to elect DJT.
We don't need to consider Trump's personality, mean tweets, success at preventing war, his superb economy, etc. All we need to consider is that the leftists who appear to inexplicably desire that we all perish in a nuclear war, starve to death while eating bugs, impoverish ourselves in an attempt to control the weather, or just hack off our genitals and fade away as a world power; THOSE people, fear Trump like Satan fears the return of Christ. WHY do they tremble at the thought of this man returning? They fear that DJT will subvert their plans... If they cower in fear at the sight of the Orange Man, that is the only endorsement needed.
While I have my problems with Trump, I support him because he makes the right enemies.

You don't have to love Trump Glenn.
I love him enough for both of us!
He is a superhero.
NO OTHER person - past or present - could have withstood all the @#$%^&* that was launched with such coordinated force and venom at this man, and also at his FAMILY members! (Don Jr receiving multiple DOZENS of subpoenas.) And yet Trump soldiers on, in mostly good cheer, FOR AMERICA.
DESPITE bs 'impeachments'!
DESPITE bs lying MSM!
DESPITE the deepstate AND intel communities!
This man is simply amazing.
Not perfect, but amazing!
Pullllease. Trump, for all his boast of being so smart, was in the end, outsmarted by Fauci and the scarf lady. The people in these comments need to do is do a little research before commenting. I am done. I cannot educate everybody. Goodbye.
Tho you might try to start with numero uno.....
Unfortunately, persuasion is not limited to appeals to reason, as good as yours is. The world is awash with vast sums of money arrayed against the return of Trumpian populism. We will not be allowed to win, no matter how good our arguments are about policy and effective governance.
I have voted for Trump twice.
(Not in the same election--I'm not a Democrat.)
I will vote for him again.
My problem with Trump is that his movement is narrow. I'm saddened that there is such a lack of courageous leadership in the Republican Party.
To be a player in D.C. one must have sharp edges and a bit of cut-throat S.O.B. Anyone surviving in N.Y. real estate requires that and more.
