Let’s be honest. You know you like Trump, even if you hate him. And I know the reason why. You were brought up to avoid all people who exaggerated or stretched the truth or who portrayed themselves to be winners by denigrating the opposition. Your parents taught you to be humble and not brag about yourself, even in those instances when it was warranted. In school, your teachers routinely took you down a peg if you thought you were better than the guy who sat next to you. If you felt you knew more than your teacher and showed it,

Spot on, terrific column! And the comments are equally worth reading. It would change some minds, except...you can't reason a person out of a position they didn't reach through reason.

Great article that reminds us who we are. The author only forgot to mention how generous Donald J. Trump is. It’s the kind of generosity that seeks no praise but is done quietly with good intentions. Trump does not require acknowledgement of these acts of generosity which speaks volumes about the man.
When I first learned he was running for President, I laughed. No way he was a serious candidate. Boy, was I wrong. After listening to a speech, I was gobsmacked by his understanding of our problems. When he offered common sense solutions, I was hooked. Then he won and I was elated.
Unfortunately, I underestimated the depth of depravity of democrats and far too many republicans. Their relentless political war directed at President Trump only hardened my resolve to support him. Even the impeachments and lies and braying media did not deter me because on his worst day, Donald Trump was better than anyone of them on their best day. I not only still hold to this truth but I am more convinced of it than ever. What brings pinpoint focus to my thinking is President Trump’s statement that says, they’re really after you, I am just standing in their way. No politician in my lifetime has ever said that or was willing to take real slings and arrows on my behalf. He has suffered more for this country and its people than anyone I can think of. He stands strong and will not back down in the face of extreme pressure that would have cowed lesser men. Democrats know this. They know he is a formidable opponent and fear they cannot best him and know they cannot control him. My worry is that they will eliminate him. However, they will never be able to undermine the support of the American people. Because we understand the utter wickedness of those standing against him, we pray. We will also go to the polls as if our life depends upon it because it does. Is Donald J. Trump perfect? Neither are any of us but he stands head and shoulders above his evil, conniving, vicious enemies and I believe has more than earned our trust and support. God bless, give him wisdom, and keep him safe. Trump 2024.

When he came down the escalator with the beautiful Melania at this side....

Donald Trump keeps his promises...he is not perfect...but he fixes things that others either can't or won't...works for me.

I liked Trump from before the first primary. It bothered me that media people and other Republicans were making fun of a man who was obviously tremendously successful. But along with that, I felt there was finally a guy who, unlike Bush, McCain, and Romney, would not allow himself to take daily brow-beatings without giving it back in spades.

It's kind of funny to realize that if they hadn't stolen the 2020 election, we'd have no Russia-Ukraine war, Mideast peace, a strong economy, low inflation, energy independence again, a secure border, a strong, non-suicidally woke military, Melania instead of Doctor Dishrag....and Trump would be gone in ten months, at which time they could resume destroying the country like they did in 2021.

"Our" side of the media should run more old video of Trump being interviewed back in the "Olde Days" when he was a 34yo Billionaire, heart throb, rock star....and the mostly female news anchor/interviewers were clearly fawning in his mere presence. His statements and perspectives about America, about society, about politics...and politicians...about the Future, Are prescient, concise, well thought out, agreeable, and to a large degree self effacing.
w/Ronna Barret...this is a small clip of a very long interview. If I recall the actual interviews were over 6 hours, and was edited down to a 1hr broadcast special.

I liked him right out of the blocks....then I waivered as he pushed Fauci, and bragged about the fast track vaccines and the vents.
I am hoping that he has learned from his mistakes, and will defeat Biden (or whoever they slide in to replace him).

I know the moment I started to adore him. When he was in the debate with Hillary Clinton and his reply was "because you'd be in jail." Swoon!

BINGO! Very well said, and that goes for me, too. Their attacks make me more and more certain that I must support Trump.
