For 7 years, Never Trumpers have complained about his style. I haven't. I like it. He is combative. Pugilists throw punches. Wusses say, "Please clap."
I can see why his style is off-putting. Conservatives are not used to elbows being out. They want Reagan the Grandfather.
But we have Trump who is crazy as a fox. That's the reality.
And the reality is a Reaganesque Trump would not work in today's political world. The shared experience of World War II is long gone. Elitists shun patriotism and their wannabes agree. Today's liberals respect no one, not even themselves. They run every institution in the United States, and they ruin every one.

Amen! Send this to every Never-Trumper that you know.
One addition as to Sarah Palin - the media cheered when she resigned and then they turned around and hounded her for being a “quitter”. Leftists are still doing it today because she is running for the senate. They are scared to death of her and have been since she stepped onto the national stage in 2008.

Trump, like Washington, on a white horse, to the rescue.
Trump is our present day George Washington, against the battle of the deep state communists/socialists.

I'm on board with this, too! The mealy-mouthed weasel types who don't like President Trump can take a hike off a short pier! Perhaps they would prefer to live in Venezuela, or Cuba.
President Trump did more in four years to make America better for everyone than any other president in my elderly lifetime. He's perhaps the greatest president we've EVER had!

I think the main reason they hate Trump is he does not hesitate to speak the forbidden truth that our GOPe has been afraid to say for so many years. i can never forget how G Bush used to let the dems say the most outrageous lies and slander about conservatives and not say anything to counter them.

FTA: And the reality is a Reaganesque Trump would not work in today's political world.
And I'm not convinced a Trumpesque Trump himself will work in today's political world, either.
Yes, he has a large number of loyal Trumpistas. And it may be that in '24, like Napoleon reassembling his loyal Grande Armée upon return from Elbe, he will sweep to the Republican nomination in grand style. Meanwhile, his game is old news for the opposition, and many here already recognize the ability of the Establishment UNIPARTY, which is back in national control, to fix the '24 election ensuring his loss. (In the meantime, it is busy poisoning the well with the J6 hearings and rumbles of prosecution.) As often repeated in this salon, it's not who casts the votes, but who counts them.
Those who think FPDT will sweep to a glorious victory need to recall the fate of Napoleon's Grande Armée. We can fairly predict the fate of PDT should he win election, even with a Republican majority in Congress. The GOPe will doubtless be "cajoled" into various hearings into malfeasance, personal and official. Don't rule out impeachment. Mitch made clear he doesn't have PDT's back anymore.

You can't work in Manhattan real estate being loud, brash and bossy. The press loved Trump when he was like that on The Apprentice, but when he went into politics they were soooo offended by the exact style they loved the year before.

Unfortunately, there are still far too many pearl-clutching damsels who nearly faint at the mere mention of his name. My neighbors are perfect examples. One of them gently said “Oh, these last four years…” (referring to Trump). When I asked her what was so awful, all she could respond was that he was such a buffoon, so uncouth, etc. After I reminded them of the good things he had done, they still harrumphed and insisted he was just dreadful. At that point, in the interest of maintaining polite discourse with elderly ladies, I left and came home.

I like Trump, and his style. I have never put any diminutives in front of his name. I liked what he said he Twitter. All of it. I liked what he said about fake news. I like what he said about the Democrats and McConnell. I like what he said about the DOJ and FBI.

I wanted a bull in the corrupt china shop of DC and I got it. If anything, I want more Trumpism. Pour it on, pedal to the the metal and go all in. That is what is required as this country is on its death bed thanks to enemies inside and out. IF President Trump can overcome the coup and be sworn in again, I hope he rebuilds AND goes on an unstoppable seek and destroy mission directed at the many, many outright traitors in DC and across the rest of this country.

FTA: "Trump is a businessman, not a politician." That was true for most of Trump's adult life but Surber wrote that in the present tense, which hasn't been true for 7 years. From the 2015 escalator ride to announce his candidacy, he became a politician, even though he can't be confused with the life-long pigs at the trough, like Biden, who've never spent an hour past their teens, working in the private sector. Surber also uses the "Never-Trumper" epithet , the use of which hasn't made a lick of sense since Trump was elected in '16, took the oath of office in '17, served a full term as president, and currently remains the most popular politician in the GOP, facts that cannot be 'nevered' away. Anti-Trump would seem more accurate as a descriptor for those who detest him and/or want him to disappear.

Re #15, he is and will always be a businessman. He thinks like a businessman, he has the vision of a businessman, he listens like a businessman, weighs options like a businessman, makes decisions like a businessman. For some curious reason our politicians are often lawyers. Lawyers run nothing, not even their own practices which are managed by persons hired to do that. Lawyers may be the worst possible choice to run a country or even a tiny town.

I believe in the Providence of God. In the long ago, the Israelites were blessed with victories in battle when they went obediently to God with their prayers and supplications and did right in His sight. They were not victorious when they neglected to do so.
Donald Trump, & America, had the prayers of millions of believers behind him from the time he came down that escalator, throughout his presidency, and unto this very day. He didn’t accomplish the good he did for America alone. The Providence of God was with him. That providence has worked through all that has transpired to reveal, expose and help us to see and understand the opposition to the American Ideal that led us into becoming the greatest nation on earth. If we keep our free Constitutional Republic, which was founded by imperfect humans who trusted in God’s mercy and Grace, it will not be because we, or our modern leaders, are perfect, as Mr. Klingenstein so eloquently recounted. It will be because we prayerfully petition our God for His blessings of mercy, guidance and grace, just as we have done through every successful endeavor in war and peace. As has been said, it won’t be easy. We will need people of determination, persistence, strength and courage. Most of all, we will need the sustaining providence of Almighty God.

Re: #16 - In the sense that Dwight Eisenhower was a five star general, as well as a politician, I agree but one who engages in politics is a politician, regardless of one's provenance. I'm thinking Trump is both businessman and politician but there is one big qualifier: government exists primarily due to market failure so government is definitely not a business. One may take a business-like approach to government administration but businesses lack the coercive power of government, and as we can plainly see with the likes of Biden, Pelosi, and Schumer, you can tax, spend, and regulate a country out of existence, quite unlike a business going under due to its leader's lack of market savvy.

And always keep in mind that Trump is the one and only President who routinely tells the msm to shove it sideways. This is in part how he wins.

Trump did his job, intentionally or not, which was to expose our "elite institutions," including the media, academia and so-called law enforcement agencies from the Justice Department on down, as the thoroughly corrupt, incompetent partisan swamp that we suspected but never knew for sure. For them and for too many voters (though not enough to elect Biden in 2020), accomplishments don't matter, and the good of the country and the American people is and always will be subordinate to power and collectivist ideology. Maybe it's time to move on. The deck is stacked against him. And us.

My union father hated President Reagan. I could never figure that out, except knowing President Reagan was hated as much as President Trump in his day, but it was all underground. And at times, bubbling up in hateful comments privately such as with union people like my dad. Plus the Media hated Reagan and mocked him and tried to stop him incessantly.

To all you never Trumpers, please name the guy that has had a better proven record of success. Name someone we can trust who will not betray us. Name someone who is unafraid of the media and leftist cabal and especially you turncoats. Name someone who has common sense solutions to the problems we face and has a real plan to solve them. Otherwise, Americans are going to stay with Donald J. Trump.

President Trump goes into a fight with his dudes up...he's a man...and that's how men are...not milk toast milley Generals looking into the mirror to find flaws...I'm sick to death of gender confused citizens flaunting their faces on the tele...I have tuned them off by selecting film from my private library and singing along with "somewhere over the rainbow" ...I watch newsman and breitbart for news and skip the over sized black females exposed to their waist ...all the while complaining they are treated like sex objects...duuuuhhh ...wonder why

Let Trump Be Trump, indeed, with our prayers and the ever-knowing and trusting God in our hearts!
God has allowed America and the world to see all the evil here from the ‘hate-America’ crowd… let’s pray daily for righteousness to return for such a time as this with President Trump and our prayers.
“With God, ALL things are possible”!

#22 when the air traffic controllers went on strike, Reagan fired everyone of them when they didn't return to work, in the time frame he gave them. From that day forward the unions were weakened. The Democrats just hated Reagan for this act. The rest of us were happy to see a tough guy sitting in the Oval Office rather than the weak kneed Carter.

Is there any interest to have another L.com re-union someplace sometime. Over my nearly twenty years on L.Com, I've come to know many of you by only your screen name and your most thoughtful postings. Would be really nice to meet some of you in person one of these days. Ms Lucianne and staff - thoughts?

People watched 'The Apprentice' for the 2 harsh words, "You're Fired". We need him in the WH to tell thousands of bureaucrats the same harsh 2 words that only he has the guts to say.

A quick follow up:
To anyone who might be interested in another L.com/LDotters meet-up group to celebrate America and our years of perseverance along with Ms.Lucianne, DodgeBoy can you please get her approval, at mailto:LinkLady7@aol.com.
Although we knew she could not attend our first meet-up, she graciously sent a gift for someone to win!
Some of us could always do ‘Zoom,’ one afternoon/evening to plan, depending on the interest…
My email is attached to my ‘HisHandmaiden’ link, so anyone let us know and I’ll be more than happy to help organize it with you DodgeBoy if more are interested.
I’d love to meet so many here, esp, Timber Queen [and King!], Rinktum, Udanja99, Italiano, Quigley, MDConservative, and so many others!
