The Case for Donald Trump 2024

Guest Post by Kurt Schlichter

The Case for Donald Trump 2024

Time for some real talk. There are a lot of Republicans with doubts about President Trump running again in 2024, and you hear it often when conservatives gather together. They worry that him going Grover Cleveland could spoil a sure thing, but that’s not necessarily so. Whether you love Donald Trump, or whether you doubt him – if you hate him, shut up and go back to the Bulwark offices with the other losers – you need to look hard at the facts. We’re not progressives who let our feelz control us, and we must ruthlessly assess our own potential courses of action when it comes to replacing that desiccated old pervert masquerading as our president.

We must look at his downside, but also his upside – and he has one. The fact is that Donald Trump 2024 has a reasonable chance to beat anyone the Democrats launch at him – hell, in ’16 he defied the conventional wisdom to crush Felonia Milhous von Pantsuit, the Smartest Woman Ever Was, and there are a lot of reasons why he might well pummel whatever pea-brained nimrod the Dems deploy against him in 2024.

Let’s look where all smart tacticians will look first – at logistics. Trump has money, oodles of it, and his supporters now have two campaigns worth of experience instead of the none they had in 2016. He also has his own social media outlet, as well as friendly conservative media, and Twitter may even be under free speech advocate Elon Musk by then. They can’t shut him up again.

Then there is the opposition. He faces a clown for an opponent – Grandpa Badfinger is the only guy dumb enough to forget how to ride a bike – and some polls already show Trump beating Biden in a head-to-(empty)-head race two-plus years out. None of those who will be seeking to shiv the Crusty-in-Chief and send him off to Sunny Acres so they can grab the Dem nom is a bigger threat. Kackling Kamala? Supply chain chump Pete Buttigieg? Maybe AOC will run – voters will love her. Perhaps Hillary will step into the ring to get humiliated yet again. All of them are potentially beatable by DJT in 2024.

But there is more. Critically, a lot of people really dig Donald Trump. And it’s not because he somehow bedazzled them with his magical power to make the Jesus Gun People fall in love with him that the ruling caste seems to think he wields. As I write in my forthcoming book, We’ll Be Back: The Fall and Rise of America: “Could Trump save us again? … His vision for this country is simple and correct, all about making America great again and putting America first.” Just compare the Democrat vision of empty shelves and bank accounts with Trump’s vision of America prosperous, proud and strong, instead of one dropping abandoned allies off of C-17s.

That’s what people love about him, and it’s not just the people with DJT tatts and red hats. Even conservatives who have doubts about Trump going for Round 3 tend to respect him and his achievements. Trump brought a whole bunch of people into the Republican Party who had been repelled by stiffs like Mitt Romney and blunderers like George W. Bush – guys who incidentally never had a job that involved them sweating and certainly looked like they despised anyone who had.

Trump nearly singlehandedly turned the GOP into the party of the working man because, despite his flamboyance and his gold-plated bidets, he genuinely respected guys who built things, who drove things, and who fought wars. It wasn’t fake – he grew up on construction sites. The toffs and puffboys with their Ivy League degrees scoff at that notion, as if they would ever dirty their dainty paws working, but you can’t fake that – not for seven years. Working folks saw him and saw an (unlikely) ally, and that meant we Republicans suddenly had access to voters Miracle Whip Mitt could never attract. You look at the GOP stampede of Latinx voters – who hate that stupid word with a passion – and you have to understand that it would not be possible without Donald J. Trump.

But it is not just his personality that built that loyalty. It was his performance as president. Just look at the guy’s record, a record that rivaled even St. Ronny’s. Trump presided over the first expansion of wealth for working people in decades, reversing the stagnation that saw the coastal blue elites growing richer and everyone else growing poorer. He cut taxes for small business, jump-starting economic growth. Gas prices were low, the stock market was high. Compare and contrast his economic record with that of this ridiculous dust puppet we are stuck with now. We didn’t have to worry that there would be no baby food on the shelf when Trump was in office. Now you need to take out a mortgage – at much higher rates than under Trump – just to fill up your F-150. And just a couple years ago the stock market was booming, instead of failing like Brian “Tater” Stelter on Tinder.

In a few weeks, SCOTUS decisions tossing out Roe and upholding your right to keep and bear arms will vindicate Donald Trump yet again.

Trump began the process of rebuilding our military, wrecked after decades of fruitless wars, and most importantly, he did not get us into any new ones. That matters, because the people who like him tend to be the people who either have to actually fight those wars or send their sons and daughters to do it – see if you can imagine a Cheney in uniform without laughing at the absurdity of a member of that clan actually personally participating in one of the myriad wars they love so much as anything other than a distant spectator. But it’s not so funny when it’s your kid coming home in a box. And Trump got that when no one else in the GOP seemed to.

Oh, and Trump – aided by some outstanding appointees like Ambassador Ric Grenell and National Security Advisor Robert O’Brien – brought peace not just to the intractable Kosovo conflict but to the Middle East. Remember how Mid-East violence was a staple on the nightly news for most of the last century? Trump fixed that when all the geniuses of the establishment couldn’t. Now Israel and Saudi Arabia are working together, if you can wrap your heads around that, at least until President Numbskull screws that up too.

Trump put America first, not the interests of the ruling caste, and for that our alleged betters cannot forgive him. This brings us to the last reason Trump should run. We deserve a chance to have a real Trump presidency, and so do our enemies – they need to pay. Their Russiagate lies and stupid impeachment onanism wrapped-up the administration for years when Trump should have been free to do even more than what he accomplished despite the establishment’s full-court press to disenfranchise his voters by neutralizing him. Moreover, the shameful 2020 election – you do not have to believe that the outright fraud, which did exist (I saw it helping the legal effort in Las Vegas working alongside future Nevada senator Adam Laxalt) – with its unlawful legal hijinks and regime media interference (“Trump is down 17 points in Wisconsin!”) was fundamentally unfair. Trump personally deserves vindication from that unfair fiasco, but more importantly, the people who voted for him deserve vindication too. And the people who hate Trump deserve four more years of suffering under his reign of mean tweets.

Anyone who tells you that Trump cannot win is wrong. He can. He has powerful winds behind him, some of them of his making, some historical, and he has a fantastic record that contrasts starkly with the legacy of bungling of his successor. Trump has been blessed with incompetent opponents who have made everyone hate them. So, a win is not out of the question. Trump has real reasons to run, if he chooses.

But a win is not assured. Because he can realistically run does not necessarily mean he should. There is a case to be made that we Republicans need to thank him, hand him a gold watch, and move on. And that’s why my Thursday column – pending some breaking news or my attention being captured by some other politico-cultural squirrel – will be The Case Against Donald Trump 2024.

Kurt’s submission is full of holes and omissions. He talks about Trump building back the military while Milley is calling his counterpart in China advising him not to worry that he has his back. He says nothing of Operation Warp Speed and that he kept scarf lady and Fauxchi on the payroll. He says nothing about the wall that was never built and all the swamp creatures from Jekyll Island past he kept on his payroll. Also, Kurt makes no mention of rigged elections that are still rigged.

Sorry, Kurt…that dog won’t hunt. You should stick to writing your novels about the fall of America with Kelly Turnbull and his Wilson Combat .45.

I’ve made this comment before and it’s truth hasn’t changed:
The one truly great thing DJT did was to open millions of
formerly closed eyes to the utter corruption of their government,
media, and Deep State bureaucracy. Had Piano Legs Rodham been
installed, the mirage would still be intact as the country was sold
off and the Great Reset would be miles further down the road to reality.
For all his failings, that pulling open
the curtain may be the one thing that saves the country.

Maybe.

Reading extensively in the history of the creation of America has convinced me that, without the help of Divine Providence, it would not have happened in the first place.

People were no different then than now, but there were then exceptional men who pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor so that people could be free.

Such people exist today, but I don’t think The Donald is one of them.

From Alexander Hamilton-

“If everything floats on the variable and vague opinions of the governing party, there can be no such things as rights, property, or liberty.”

Let’s first get past the VOTE HARDERER NEXT TIME because that’s still the big hump as far as I can see.

There are no holes or omissions. The problem I have with the first term were a lot of his appointments. As an example, when Rex Tillerson was interviewed for the Sec/State post, what he told DJT was a 180 from the “I’ll run the state department the way I see best” or Sessions with his idiotic recusal which hamstrung the administration from the start and was compounded by Barr’s!!!! appointment.

Instead go back to his from the start days. His first overseas trip was to Saudi Arabia. Why them? His vision was an energy independent US as well as peace in the ME. He needed the Saudis on board. Next he brings Xi over here and lays out the upcoming huge changes in American policy. Why? President Trump graciously informed Chairman Xi, in the polite manner that respectful business people do, that US policy was going to be different. Tariffs were in the wings. Oh my how Wall St and many of our reps(HAHA) told us the sky was falling , prices would skyrocket. They did the opposite.

Then he renegotiates NAFTA, more alligator tears. But he makes Mexico up wages which makes out sourcing less attractive. Corporations start migrating back here.

He criss crosses east Asia and prepares them to expect a huge outflow from China. It happens, everyone is prospering. He slashes energy production regs and we’re now an energy exporter!

He walks across the n Korean border!!! And no more missiles are flying over Japan.

No new wars, troops getting pulled from the ME, never before even considered peace treaties between Israel & former enemies, $1.80 gas, 1% inflation, largest tax rate cut in history, almost nil illegal aliens & the wall almost completed, energy independence, first real increase in wages in decades …all of this off the top of my head. And you? You hand me Milly?

That’s what ya got? You’re a joke. Who do you want leading this country? Just bury your head in the sand, who needs you?

Brewer55

It’s rather amusing how you left out everything else. No wall, porous border, just not like now, a stock market he derided as a huge bubble that would burst as candidate Trump but, markets he took credit for when they went up. Almost every appointment he made was a swamp creature, not just Tillerson. He pushed the vax with Operation Warp Drive and HE STILL TAKES CREDIT FOR IT with lies that it saved millions. The very large majority of his recommendations for office in the upcoming election are all RINO’s or worse!

You sound like a liberal as instead of just debating the pro’s, and cons, you end with a personal attack. You are just another 1st level thinker who won’t let go of the fact that we have been bamboozled by the Donald.

BTW, I voted for this guy twice; holding my nose both times because I never trusted him. He was a lifelong NY democrat until he decided to run. His big spending (like all the others) was not from a real conservative.

So, you keep your blinders on and keep carrying his water. It suits you.

Once a Democrat, always a democrat. And once dubbed King Cyrus , always dubbed King Cyrus. Absolutely ridiculous the evangelicals that bought into Trump’s crap. Say what one will about Russell Moore. I get no inspiration from Moore. He did hit the nail on the head however, his criticism of Trump’s evangelical support. The list of Zionists included , John Hagee, Paula White ( who “saved” Trump) , Robert Jeffress , Kenneth Copeland, Pat Robertson, Franklin Graham, Robert Morris, enough already that would gag a maggot. Chuck Baldwin has written much about the evangelical lunacy support of Trump.

I gave you a long list of pros and some cons. You ignore the headwinds he got from both parties as he had very few MAGA backers in Congress including 2 years of Paul Ryan. Now he’s endorsing candidates that are winning and will back him in Congress.

Even with the likes on Mitch & Ryan he still accomplished more than any administration in my lifetime. He recognized economic security means peace and he was increasing that to all comers. He had illegal immigration down to practically zero with his agreements with Mexico as well as the wall almost completed. Real wages were up. Tax rates were down. Corps were relocating here or elsewhere out of China. Really, WTF are you complaining about?

I sound like a liberal? Fuck you, at least I’m coherent.

Better than electing The Donald again would be putting Congress firmly in the hands of sane people and having Biden for a second term.

This would insure that sane people would vote Libertarian for the next 100 years.

Incredible how little many, many, people know. Even (especially?) about what they get a paycheck for. Majority rule. Tyranny by/for the masses. Even when elections were seemingly legitimate. Never give People a choice that you don’t want them to make.

Same as it Ever was.

Gotta admit. Never could make sense outta the world in my head. Read a book or two.

Revelation 2:9  I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.

Revelation 3:9  Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.

The question is, has Trump learned from his mistakes? The lockdowns lost him the election (you can’t cheat when there’s a landslide). Warp speeding the clot shots was a major blunder. Trump surrounded himself with people bent on destroying his presidency. Personally, I’d prefer someone who is smart enough to avoid these mistakes the first time.

I was ok with Trump until the beer virus came along. Trump sounded like a salesman for the drug pushers. Just think of all the damage done to the country. How many businesses closed. Trump also repeats words like he is getting too old. The country can’t take much more of Biden’s genius.

Good or bad Trump is definitely the current frontrunner along with Desantis if we ever make it to the 2024 elections.
The psycho great reset progs would rather and will likely destroy the whole country than get trounced in another election. Especially by the Orange Man.
The clot shots and lockdowns will likely be Trump’s undoing.
2024 might as well be forever from my current vantage point.

Wake up and smell the stench that is D.C. Both sides play for the same team. Trump was nothing more than a trojan horse that kept conservatives sitting on the sidelines waiting for him to lockem up and ride in on a white horse to save the republic.
