King Trump: He can stay as long as he wants

I personally wouldn’t mind if Trump ran again in 2028.  This past week, he officially put out merchandise that promoted the idea, but I think he’s just having a little fun with the radical left, who are afraid that they will never get rid of Trump again.  And that, like FDR, he might try to stick around beyond two terms, and that he’ll declare himself king.  I would be okay with Trump sticking around as long as he wants to.  I sleep better at night knowing Trump is in the White House and someone like him is making good decisions for our country.  But I don’t think Trump is all that serious about it.  I think he’d like to retire and play golf.  We are lucky to get what we have out of him, which in the end will be 12 years of a Trump presidency.  Two of those terms officially.  One of them unofficially.  But regardless of the measure, it will be a significant part of his life.  Democrats have much bigger problems besides Trump; they have made a hard turn toward open socialism, and that will hinder them from now on.  There is no longer a blurring of the lines as to where they stand, which is evident in Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s campaign swing these days.  She is the future of the Democrat Party, and she is a hard left person who won’t play well to a national audience, so Democrats have more trouble than just Trump.  But they fear that he just won’t ever go away, exacerbated by the Trump campaign merch indicating that he was already campaigning for 2028.  It will take a long time to fix the many parts of America that are broken, on purpose, by radicals we used to trust.  So I’m in no hurry to see Trump go anywhere.  If he wants to stay president for another twenty years, I’m perfectly fine with that.  I’m sure we could establish some legislative modification to accommodate him. 

But logically, we still have the unsettled matter of his stolen second term, and everything the government did to him to try to destroy him.  We’re not just talking about what he has done to offer himself to the office of the presidency, but the over-the-top attempts to kill him that took from all of us that critical second term, and inserted the loser Joe Biden in an obvious attempt to destroy our country.   People go to war over much less than what happened to Trump, where they clearly stole the election from him, put him on a plane, and exiled him from politics.  At least they tried to.  So I think everyone owes Trump some exceptional consideration.  No matter what anybody thinks about him politically, I think of him more as a reformed Democrat than a traditional Republican, but he’s a great executive.  He knows how to put the right people in place to get things done and to cheerlead things along with the power of positive thinking.  And the White House is a much better place with him in it.  I was just there a few weeks ago and can say that everything around the White House is better with Trump.  There is no way that Democrats are ever going to get the world back that they once ruled over.  Trump or not.  People picked Trump.  Trump is far from a king.  The American people wanted him, now for three elections, and they will want him as long as they can get him.  Trump can stay as long as he wants. 

Election fraud is serious business, and it has to be punished.  It’s not enough to have people sheepishly apologetic now that Trump won the election with so much support, even after all they tried to do to him, including the former VP, Mike Pence.  On that terrible day of January 6th, when the government certified that election, knowingly committing fraud, most of the key players who were involved were erased from the political landscape. People like Mitch McConnell, Nancy Pelosi, Mitt Romney, and some of Trump’s most prominent critics are no longer relevant, politically.  That is something that nobody is really talking about.  It’s not so much about what Trump intends to do or can’t do as radical judges try to stall his administration out, hoping to outlast him in Washington, D.C., to ride out the election cycles.  But what matters most is that the opposition to Trump is much weaker than it has ever been, and it had its back broken on that day of the assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, during the summer of 2024.  And I don’t see it ever recovering.  Rather, the Marxist insurgency, which Bernie Sanders and AOC have always been, was smoked out and exposed.  And if they are going to win elections ever again, as Democrats, it will be under much different circumstances.  In that case, it will be the Marxist and communist crowd rather than hiding those attributes behind progressive causes that define the future of politics.  And communism isn’t something they pick for themselves.  It is something that is taken, and Democrats have already blown that.  Their coup attempt was in 2020, and we lasted through it to get Trump back.  And they have no plan B.  Trump is redefining the presidency in America, which should have been happening for several centuries now.  Nobody has quite been able to make the Executive Branch as effective as Trump has made it; we are now in completely uncharted territory.

When Trump is done, all people will want to return to the kind of president Trump has been. His media engagements.  His tireless work ethic.  He has even been involved in the NFL draft this year.  Trump is everything to everybody, and he never stops doing the job.  And people, even his political enemies, will not want to return to the purely figurehead president who sat in the White House disengaged and only there for the photo op, while the lawyers ran the world.  However, there is a big difference between a king and what Trump is.  He is a successful guy who offered himself to do a job for America.  He’s even paying for the new flag poles at the White House out of his own pocket.  A king rules through power.  Trump is a representative of the American people, picked by them to do work on their behalf.  Trump is not now, nor will he ever be, a king.  We are lucky to have him.  We are fortunate to have Melania, too.  We are lucky to have the American system produce good people who can afford to represent us in the White House.  And I want Trump to do that job as long as he wants, forget about the norms.  Forget about the political theater of the media rat race, where they perpetually talk up candidates and make money off the advertising for new political offices.  I want someone to do the job, and Trump has set a new standard that Democrats will never be able to live up to.  Even Republicans will struggle to find someone as charismatic and practical as Trump.  And we are a much better country with Trump in the White House, which I would like to see extend well beyond 2028.   But I don’t think it will, by Trump’s own choice.
