I just try to actually listen and observe without following group think.
You know, during the republican primaries, I was concerned about specific portions of Trump's rhetoric, and did not belive all of his exclamations about him planning to use his knowledge bribing the establishment as a businessman as a template for fighting the establishment. But I was wrong.
After watching his actual actions and how he has been right time and time again, despite the most concerted effort in my lifetime and maybe ever in the history of the country by media, dem elites, repub elites, the deep state, crony capitalists, and progressives to oppose him and even bring him down, I became supportive of his actions...
well all except the big spending, but on the other hand, he never tried to masquerade as a fiscal conservative during his campaign, so there is that.
He has been crucified despite being right about closing down travel (from China and Europe), N Korea, ISIS, Syria, multiple intelligence agencies and the Obama admin illegally spying, Israel, OPEC, the economy, NATO, Russia, the Ukraine, Trade particularly with china/europe/canada/mexico, China on other fronts, illegal immigration/wall/human trafficing, Iran/terrorism, etc.
No one probably remembers now, but when he came into office we or our allies were losing ground on multiple fronts in the south china sea, trade, military and intellectual property theft, crimea/ukraine, iran, iraq, n. korea, etc.
And I have a kid in the military...so a president who is against intervention everywhere, but even more importantly who will not leave troops behind or sacrifice military and border patrol members on the altar of politics like Bush and Obama did, is important to a parent, a veteran, and one who is a friend to others still serving and who were demoralized after Bush and Obama admins.
Is he on the narcissistic end of the personality spectrum?...yes very likely, just like every president in my lifetime to varying degrees.
News Clip...
Trump explained in an interview airing Tuesday that he had been hyperbolically jesting about a COVID-19 testing "slowdown."
In the exclusive on "Fox & Friends" with host Brian Kilmeade, Trump echoed many of his comments from Saturday's performance but also denied that he had ordered slowing down coronavirus testing and lamented that higher case numbers and testing rates make America look bad "even though it should make us look good."
