The constantly self-promoting Narcissist-in-Chief of our country is a classic New York real-estate thug. There’s a reason they’re called moguls and if you’ve ever had the experience of dealing with any of them closely, you’ll find they’re woven from similar cloth. They’re all arrogant, self-absorbed, tyrannical, conniving, ruthless, calculating, sly, dictatorial at times and obsequious at others. Nevertheless, they succeed because these are the qualities necessary to deal with the myriad forces that make the real estate business so difficult, particularly in cities like New York. But one of Trump’s other characteristics is that he believes what he says about making the U.S. great again, and he does and has done what he says.
It’s evidence of how bad things really were…how far down the slippery slope our society had traveled, that a man who can’t string two English sentences together without repeating himself five times while patting himself on the back could both become President of the United States and do so much good in three years as he has done. And what he’s done primarily is reverse the rampant encroachment of the “State” (i.e. government at all levels) by throwing the BS flag at every opportunity, wielding the awesome power of the Presidency to blast 40 years of necrotic, liberal/collectivist nonsense whenever possible.
His methodology is antithetical to the political status quo. It’s precisely because he is NOT a politician but a tyrannical, ass-kicking and name-taking business thug that he has succeeded. He has sufficient “FU Money” that he truly doesn’t care what people think of him, and throughout his life he has taken every advantage our great country has to offer to further his wealth and power, thus understanding what opportunity means, and how to seize it.
So it really didn’t take all that much to produce the positive results he’s produced over the last three years. An iron will, an “I don’t care what they say or think” attitude, a horde of advisors and handlers that, notwithstanding the revolving door they go through, have helped him navigate the D.C. minefields that he couldn’t blast his way through, and a fundamental and underlying “America First” approach to “managing his portfolio”…these and no doubt God-given tireless energy are what has turned the slide down the slippery slope around.
At the core, what he did was unleash the true American Spirit, create by example an atmosphere which permitted the unmuzzling of the Silent Majority, and thus unlocked the pent-up anger of millions who could no longer abide the sniveling, arrogant, loser-celebrating, hyper-hypocritical megalomania and condescension of the Leftists who sought to “fundamentally change” America over the previous eight years.
Having grown up overseas and travelled extensively, am I embarrassed by his lack of civility, decorum, inarticulate speech and un-presidential demeanor? Often, but the alternative was and is unacceptable, and the substance rather than the form is what matters.
Rogue, buffoon, narcissist…call him what you will, thank God there was someone who could apply the brakes to the Leftist hydra that was dragging us further and further into the globalist, statist abyss, (and which is today writhing in an attempt to restore its power and control).
He has pointed our faces back up the hill to the sunlight.
Now we must take it upon ourselves to help each other up the slope.
