Recently, I communicated thoughts to a friend on the evolution of Trump and dealing with “Berkeley Liberals”
The Achilles heel for the left is their inability to separate policies from personalities. The Left loved Trump when he was a New York real estate developer with all his panache and bravado and being somewhat of a playboy, all the while donating to politicians. When Trump became a Republican candidate his brash/rude/semi-weisenheimer traits made him an easy target for criticism. His rude insults (e.g. “Little Marco” “Look at That Face” re Carly Fiorina) may have carried the day to get the nomination but damaged his reputation as a bully.
During his first term he was totally misled by the UniParty Deep State and undermined, (some would say treasonously) by the Intelligence Community, the FBI and the corrupt Hillary Clinton organization. His success in the first term was due to his being a tough New Yorker who had been through economic ups and downs, including bankruptcies and restructurings. Amazingly, he accomplished a lot with his policies the first time around. Great tax cuts coupled with a growth economy along with strength abroad and a secure border.
COVID, Biden corruption, and Intelligence Community lies re laptop, along with rabid government lies, censorship, and evil corrupt media did Trump in in 2020.
2024, however, is a new day, and Trump is a different person. In 2024, I believe some of the most important things about Trump are:
1. He almost got killed, but for the Grace of God. He has acquired, amazingly, a little humility and realization of wanting to leave the world a better place when he has left us.
2. He, at his very core, wants to solve problems and do great things. Look at his advice four years ago to Gavin Newsom regarding the Paradise Fires in California.
3. He is an “authentic” leader (along with FDR, Eisenhower, and Reagan). He totally relates to people, from the richest to the dishwasher in the kitchen. Look at how Trump interacted with the McDonald’s employee who showed him how to process the French fries and how he treated the people in the cars at the drive-in window.
