Now the narrative written about Trump will almost certainly say he’s the worst...but that’s what adds to the mystique and now legend of Donald Trump.
I don't believe that there will be a mystique in the future. Like most things in history, this too shall pass. In 30 years, he will not be viewed through that lens. He will be judged on whether or not he achieved his agenda (which he did not for the most part), how he handled the coronavirus, how he handled race relations, and his actions after losing this election, among other things.

I'm not stating my opinion here. I'm simply stating how he will be viewed from a scholarly standpoint. I also think that the teenagers of today (who will be in their 40s at that time and running the country) will not look back on his presidency favorably. So I believe that he will be rated poorly on public opinion polls as well.

No one knows how the future will view Trump. Certainly no one knew the little escalator ride would wind up with the presidency and 75 million followers.

Q: Of whom are the Democrats most afraid?


They are letting you know whom they fear, and are actively attempting to define them negatively and/or neutralize them in whatever way possible.

They fear them because they have the position and the guts to possibly galvanize 75 million people who voted for Trump.
This Democrat isn't afraid of anyone.

"Why not?", you may ask.

This is why not.

Yeah, how history treats Trump doesn't look good. I mean there are a lot of millennials and zellennials that don't like what happened, but some did red-pill with him hard (typically law enforcement, religious and military types.) I'm not saying that Trump will be considered one of the worst Presidents, but his standing isn't great to start with.

Yes and poll how many Trump voters still will vote for him after that. I dare you. The problem is no president has been as corrupt as Trump has been.

That's nuts. I find that hard to believe.

I know what you mean - but that's not the proper context.

I am referring to Democrats in Congress and establishment elites who are seeking to gain control of the culture. The fear the 75 million that would hinder their goals.

You apparently can't seem to debate the actual issue. That is classically how Donald Con the Tramper operates, pivot from real issues and refuse to answer real questions. Nearly causing the destruction of this great country.
What issue do you want to discuss?

Biden calls people thugs from this week. He said virtually nothing when cities burned months ago. Unequal scales of justice in play.

The video you put up tries to link Capitol protesters with anti-Semites. That's just bad journalism to make that link. He doesn't know who these people are. It's all about painting an image... not about truth. Antifa was there - he could be one of them.

Except, Biden got 7 million more. AND won the Electoral College that Trumpers were so adamant should not be changed.

That's because Trump is sucking up all of the oxygen right now. That won't be the case down the road. Those two have at least shown they won't be compliant to the Swamp as most of the other Republicans.

People want the government to represent THEM - not to other entities or themselves.
Neither will get the nomination. The GOP will get back to normalcy, where non-deplorable types can start supporting it again.
