One hundred years from now, historians will be looking back and calling this the Age of Trump, for Donald Trump has as much clout today in America that only the most notable presidents in American history have ever seen. He could become a seminal figure in American history on a par with George Washington and Abraham Lincoln.
It was the providential hand of the Lord that allowed him to win an upset victory in 2016. Trump prevailed in doing what he promised against much opposition as well. And the Lord may not be done with him yet. Assuming Trump remains healthy and is reelected in 2024, he will likely be

The best analysis and prediction of the political landscape for the 2024 election cycle that I have read yet. After reading the headline, I was expecting to read something written by Elmer Gantry. Instead, we get something written by Mr. Spock. Take a moment to read it for yourselves.

You've got MAGA people who love our country and you have those on the Left who continuously prove they hate it. You've got to hand it to the Left's ideology, though. They are really committed to their cause. When they drink the Kool-aid they drink ithe Kool-aid. On a daily basis they prove that they really don't care about law and order, national sovereignty, national security, personal security, personal happiness, personal freedoms, sanctity of life, and the most puzzling of all...the well being of their own children and grandchildren.

I voted for Trump twice, and also donated, and greatly approve of the various policies he put in place and the way that he, as a layman, cut through bureaucracy. BUT I am not a diehard and also greatly disapproved of Trump acting out re: Georgia and thus losing two Senate seats, and putting us in the unenviable position we have been in with Biden and his cohorts....defenseless. I also don't appreciate with things like him trashing Musk just because Musk won't vote for him. But most of all, though I think some of the results were questionable and he wasn't/isn't the first candidate to question election results, I am dismayed beyond belief that he won't move on, start blowing his own horn re: his accomplishments as President. This is just foolish and NOT thinking of the American public but of himself. Bill Barr, also, apparently warned Trump that he would have to find some first rate lawyers (and pay them up front because they would worry about being stiffed) to watch election hanky pinky and results. And Trump ignored Barr and is now trying to lock the barn door after the horse has been stolen. My BIGGEST fear is that there will be a Republican primary, Trump will not win (despite those who will vote for him NO MATTER WHAT) even though he won't get OFF the last election results, and he will form his own Bull Moose Party and sabotage a Republican win for the Presidency. Again, thinking of Trump more than the Country. And I am speaking as a very PRO Trump voter who can't walk that route again as long as he acts the way he is acting, no matter what advice he is given. There was a very old George M. Cohen play called "I'd rather be right than President!" I rest my case.

Amen, #1. What a perfect way to start the day.
#2, having lived behind the Iron Curtain for a few years, I can promise you that, if the left actually gets what they want, they will NOT like it and they will start to care about those things you mention. But it will be too far too late.

I agree with the article. Trump is someone to be reckoned with because he loves the country and understands the importance of keeping your word. Everything he did while in office was to better the country. It was a joy for him to watch her come roaring back with confidence and pride. I haven’t ever seen a politician ever work harder or understand the working class better than this billionaire turned politician.
With this kind of drive for success comes a big big personality. He doesn’t come across as elitist like Joe, Nancy, Chuck, Obama or Hillary. The people like him and his plain spoken riffs because they trust him. They know what he has done and understand it was for the country and not personal gain. Let a Trump/DeSantis team loose on this country and the democrats won’t know what hit them. While we do love DeSantis, this is Trump’s war to win. This team would be well rounded. DeSantis will be the guy that Pence never was. He will be a real asset and can do the work needed to set this country back on track. He understand the military, the way government works, and is confident and Trump can trust him. He can build his own reputation by doing what needs to be done and then walk into the White House in 2029. What’s not to like about this pairing?
My only fear is the democrats willingness to do anything to remain in power. They have shown us clearly that no act is off limits. They have no morals no scruples and no intention of going quietly into the good night. They are dangerous and vindictive but more than anything else, they will kill to remain in power. This is my greatest fear. God protect President Trump and Governor DeSantis. Democrats know the threat they pose to them.
Was Prime Minister Abe a warning? He stood with President Trump and would have done so again. Do not put anything past the enemies of Trump. They are not like other people. These are not your daddy’s political enemies. I have never seen anything like the cloud of evil that is hovering over the West. They cannot allow the US to be restored. It must be forced into submission for them to succeed. This political war extends far beyond our shores and the democrat party leftist elites of every kind have thrown in with the Davos egomaniacs who are doing so much world wide damage. They will destroy everything before they will allow freedom and self-governance to prevail.

Should he win again, he will have the House, and hopefully the Senate. Then stand back and watch this country soar!

Trump has done what is best for the country, and in full on tv view of the country. Trump is also the only Republican that opposes and stands up to the Democrats. The Republicans disgraced themselves by signing off on a fraudulent election. McConnell does backroom deals that benefit him, and regardless of any popular support. More pass the bill to see what is in it. Trump is the only Republican to ever reverse socialism. Trump is the most powerful politician in the world, because he has the most support from the people. The Democrats target Trump, but we are the target.

Praying that God will keep His hand of mercy and safety on Pres. Trump and his family, so that he will be able to run again in 2024.
I believe that he is the only president who has allowed pastors to pray over him while in office and God did bless him.
The people are now seeing what happens when God is not involved in the life of a sitting pResident..
God, please keep us strong and safe until the next presidential election.

Many on the Left are blind to the Truth! They hate Trump for being a “Blue Collar Billionairel! He was born and raised in Queens NY and spent his formative years at construction sites with his successful Father a Real Estate Contractor.
He walks, talks and acts like a man from Queens. The Left only hear how he speaks and ignore what He Does!

People who complain that Trump is too mean and needs to stop targeting people need to grow up. Politics isn't a game for the faint hearted. Trump despite being backstabbed through his entire four-year presidency by people who claimed to be loyal, he produced an economy that was running on all cylinders and made this country energy independent and the border under control. That's something no other president not even Reagan did. Biteme has the strategic oil reserve to sell oil to China because Trump filled it. Look at what Trump accomplished despite the constant harassment from people inside and outside of his administration. Trump's last two years were his most productive because he learned how D.C. worked and finally had some people who weren't acting to stop what he wanted to do behind his back. When Trump wins again, heads will roll in D.C. Trump is a businessman, and businesspeople like Trump don't forget people who betray them, and there are a lot of people in D.C. who betrayed not only Trump, but the country.

Great Article! By the time November rolls around, Biden will have done so much damage to this Country that even Democrats will be voting for Trump! It's all about the quality of life! Those who had a comfortable quality suddenly see it slipping away! Those who aspired to a comfortable quality suddenly see it out of their reach. I'm talking about the folks who work hard, save for their future and who do not want to see Biden take it away. Those who are not working, never have worked, those who live off the Government, love Biden. The more he hands them, the more they love him. BUT, there are more of us than of them! And we are going to vote for the guy who will assure us our quality of life is not going to be taken away! That Guy is Trump and everyone knows it ! Like him or not, if you like your life, you're going to vote for him (maybe secretly if necessary)! Biden must go! Democrats do not have a another Candidate who can and will assure us of a good quality of life. The best they have is the Guy in CA who has run that State into the ground with Homeless people by the Thousands, Crime on every corner and who is 100% for Green Energy (for thee, not for him)! He will continue to live his Lavish Lifestyle, but he certainly won't care if YOUR quality of Life goes into the Dumpster! I see a Landslide in November and in 2024! It's Red all the way!

A must better parallel is Teddy Roosevelt and William Howard Taft. TR groomed Taft to succeed him in 1908, then turned on him in 1912 for not being sufficiently "progressive". When TR failed to win the Republican nomination, he formed a third party, the Bull Moose, which split the vote. The result: Woodrow Wilson, uber-progressive, winning with 42% of the national vote.
Things can turn around in a heartbeat. Ask "Desert Storm" Bush41 if he saw Clinton coming in '92, or "Saved the Presidency" Ford Carter in '76. Today the Democrats are committing poitical suicide...tomorrow is always another day.

The Age of Trump? That book isn't finished yet.
- Will Trump run for President in 2024 and win?
- Will the Democrats (and Republicans) impeach him or have him assassinated? Both definite possibilities.
- What will be the State of our Union? It may be unfixable regardless of who is President.
Time will tell.

Good grief. Apples and oranges arguments, combined with time travel. The Bull Moose party was an era when China had routine famines. Not quite the same as taking on the 'factory' for the world now.
Seems like the issues now and at election time are, will there be another blatant steal supported by a corrupt court and political system? Will there be massive effects of food, power and other shortages before the election? Will there be any accountability of all the traitors and incompetents who created the massive misery that even the dumbest voter understands?
