At the 2012 Republican National Convention, Mitt Romney was a few minutes behind schedule to take the podium and accept the nomination for president. In the long walk from his private room through the corridor and behind the stage, the genteel Mitt kept whispering “Excuse me” as he wiggled his way through well-wishers or just bystanders. The uber-polite Mitt just wouldn’t move any faster, along with his equally polite security.And Donald Trump? At a European Union conference with all the heads of state from those countries big and small it was picture time as presidents and prime ministers jousted for the premier photo op.
Yes!
Yes!!
Please Almighty God, yes.

Replaced by the Biden Shuffle...the unsteady stumble of a corrupt dotard.

FTA: This is just one more setback in his tumultuous yet extraordinary life. And the biggest mistake his critics and rivals have fallen into over the years was to underestimate him. One way or another, he always comes back. The harder he falls, the bigger the comeback. And this time his comeback will be the biggest of all. Stay tuned.
Wonderful article. Must read. The President has missed in two critical ways:
1) Not having China Joe arrested for money-laundering and sedition BEFORE the election.
2) Allowing the Marxist Left and Obama/Soros -- with help from Deep-State Colluder Pence -- to get away with stealing the 2020 election after they said they would. There is direct evidence and eyewitness accounts. Anyone claiming otherwise is lying, deceived, or in on it.
And permitting this deliberate Marxist takeover of our nation to continue is something we may never recover from, even if our rightful President makes a successful comeback. --Veterans Still for Trump

It was great to have a successful hard-working non-politician business executive in charge of the federal government, working for the American people, instead of any recycled dishonest conflicted career politician. It should be the new model of the job. Term limits are necessary.

Good article. Swagger is a simple word that is a perfect description of Trump.
I once tried to explain to some liberal women who were gossiping at the office about my newly hired office neighbor, a goodlooking Marine, that he was not a "jerk," that he just had a self-confident swagger that they were unaccustomed to seeing.

Our president is a manly man. He needs not be embarrassed. Wish there were more of them around.

Great Article. Just what I needed after these past few months watching Biden and his Henchmen tear down our Country, day after day! We remember how Trump walked into a Room and HE owned it! He was Big in stature, but he also had that Swagger that said, I have arrived and you need to pay attention! I miss him! I can't wait to have him back (hopefully). I want him to run with Ron DeSantis. Ron also has that Swagger that says, I don't care what anyone says, this is the way it's going to be! He's my Governor and I am so proud of how he has handled the Pandemic! He will be a great VP and then President!

The Trump Swagger: He walked the walk, and talked the talk. He could back it up too. For so many it is just an act, but not Trump. Miss him yet?

BEST write-up of President Trump I've read anywhere. Best. President. EVER.
And yes - It's personal with us.
My wife was a delegate for KY at the National Convention in Cleveland in '16 and got to witness (and re-acquaint herself) with Mr. Trump and his family. Starting in the late 1980s my wife worked for him off and on for 13 years just a year or two after my wife graduated law school. One of her first assignments as a junior law associate was to help Trump and Ross Perot rescue Pan Am from insolvency. She helped delay the inevitable (Pan Am eventually went bankrupt in 1992) but he had enough confidence in her legal abilities that she continued helping him with real estate deals for 13 years.
Nothing but respect and admiration for the Best President Ever. And that's saying something - considering we also love Reagan and my wife's from KY - birthplace of Lincoln.

In 2016, I would have said it is ego, even arrogance. But after four years I know that it is also the proper perspective. A nonentity elbowing the POTUS out is the wrong signal going out on behalf of the American people. This is something these meek, insipid, milquetoast RINOs never understand. Reagan did. Remember "I have paid for this microphone!". Trump knew they would cheat on election night. He said so. I believe where the calculation went wrong was the judges he raised to Justices. He believed that as long he has Thomas ,Alito and the three new appointees defending the law and the Constitution things would be under control. Let us see how he addresses the election integrity issue the next time. Our fate depends on it.

Donald J. Trump was the Best President of my lifetime. Ronald Reagan is second, and was a great man, no doubt. But Trump did so much good, pushed back the forces of evil so well, loved the country so much, and supported the average American totally, against the globalists that would destroy and impoverish and enslave us all.

Romney was not "genteel" he was just a wuss who knew deep inside that he did not belong there.

Great article and much missed of the Trump era and maybe the last.
Speaking of walking and 'swagger' has everyone seen the video of Biden and his walk to the microphones in that fakery being played on us. If you've ever seen the cheesy Rockauto cartoon commercial the same walk is done by Joe Biden. We are being played and Joe Biden is a virtual cartoon not 'for real'. We are in scary times and President Trump just might be the last and only one of his kind.

That is what countries like China respect in an American President: confidence in himself and the country he leads.
