Proudly so, and will again in 2024, if he runs. No other Republican, with one of two exceptions, is worthy.


If he doesn't run, I'll will vote for his successor in the MAGA movement.

Problem is, that these teats come with strings, and those string are, or will shortly be, connected to jack-boots which will be used to keep the suckers of eternal largess, provided by the hard work of others, toeing the political line. Say the wrong thing, hold the wrong opinion, fail to bow deeply and regularly enough to the Uncle of all largess, and bammo, out goes the teat, and eventually off to the re-education camp or gulag you go.


Democrats, I hope you are happy, because you are the ones bringing about this dead-end for the greatest country every to grace this planet. Your actions are beneath contempt, and you will soon find that out in spades.
Trump was a Republican.
Did you miss the last 4 years?

What an infantile post. Of course he was a Republican, and did more for this country in 4 shorts years that any POTUS in memory.

Only a fool would miss the importance of what I am saying. I suspect you have two teats in your mouth, both funded by somebody else's labors.

Toward the OP's complaint of moving people toward government bailouts and massive spending. Stop ham-fisting the keyboard while your at it, might spell something correctly if you slow down.

I’m confused— is this teat different from the ones our politicians are attached to? You know the ones — the special interests, corporations, wealthy donors, and dark money sources? That is the teat we need to get away from if we want to save what we have.

During the Depression they had to create the WPA so men could have jobs because they wouldn’t take money from the government. They were starving and wouldn’t take handouts. Imagine how much we have changed since then. Men built the Empire State Building in 30 months back then. I would be shocked if they could do it in 5 years now.

Not even close. Other countries, especially Canada and Australia, make the unscientific California lockdowns look like nothing. Want to play basketball in Toronto? The nets are padlocked and no one complains. Want to get vaccinated there? Join the long line because they don't have American innovation to do things like create and manufacture vaccines. We're a long way from becoming sheep-like crown subjects like other industrialized countries.

America does not regard an inbred family as "royal" like the rest of the English speaking world because we learned 245 years ago that strength comes from individuals, not calling cousin effers kings and queens. They might not have married their kin like the royals, but Presidents and pols are not the strength of this country and never have been. Much like the royal family they're entertainment. I have a rule that every minute I think about politics I need to spend 10 learning about science, so yes I'll be busy over the next week.
