Trump as the New Normal

The Saltpork & Rind published an editorial which lamented the acquittal of President Trump at the impeachment trial.  The editorial expressed distress at 'Trump as the new normal' - as if that were a bad thing.


The fainting couch in the editorial department must be getting worn out as the staff comes to the realization of: Four More Years!

Here’s a fearless forecast: Trump will increase his Electoral College majority over 2016 by at least four states, even if the most centrist Democrat candidate gets nominated.  If socialist Bernie Sanders takes the nomination then the roof will cave in and Trump’s win will approach landslide proportions.  The Republicans will take back the House because the people are tired of impeachment, they were lied to by the Democrats in 2018, they want the illegal immigration problem settled, and health care will need to be fixed after the debacle of Obamacare. (You’ve got to pass it to find what’s in it!)  None of this can be accomplished so long as Nancy Pelosi behaves like a hate-filled ex-wife in charge of the House.

Trump’s great sin is that he is a pragmatist and has no use whatsoever for progressivist ideology.  Not only does Trump stomp all over progressivist sensibilities, his success makes him dangerous to that cult-like religion.

Mitt Romney and his failures are why America has Trump.  With Trump, you always know where he stands, and he never shrinks from defending himself and his supporters from the vile and low attacks Democrats employ to bring down their opponents.  Trump is a bigger, tougher gutter fighter than all the Democrats and media (though I repeat myself) put together.  Trump supporters stand by him because he stands by them.

Quite unlike Barack Obama, Trump loves America and her constitution.  The only danger Trump presents is to Democrats who don’t want to work with him and are only intent on his political destruction.

The phony, passive-aggressive snowflake crowd who hate Trump are going to have a tough time of it through 2024.  He doesn’t care what they think, and his supporters are tough enough to keep him in office.
