It’s the people that Make America Great Unity 2024 pic.twitter.com/26YxgpBbFA

American politics have never seen anything like it. An apron-clad Donald Trump works a McDonald’s window, handing out burgers exactly as Kamala Harris claimed but almost certainly never did. Better still, he has a blast doing it. And best of all, the people he greeted at the drive-up window were thrilled to meet him.
Joe Biden calls half of America “garbage” for begging to differ with Democrats’ rush to socialism. And what does Trump do? He arrives at a Green Bay rally in a gleaming white garbage truck sporting “Trump for President” colors and, from the passenger seat, leans out, clad in an orange and yellow safety vest, and holds an impromptu press conference, saying: “How do you like my garbage truck? This truck is in honor of Kamala [Harris] and Joe Biden.’”
Said The Washington Times:
“He also said he was hesitant to wear the vest until his handlers assured him the vest “actually makes you look thinner.”
“’And they got me. I said I want to wear it on stage,’ Mr. Trump said, sparking laughter from the crowd. ‘I may never wear a blue jacket again.’”
The New & Improved Trump
That is but the most recent example of the indomitable Donald Trump – a man who the left has twice unsuccessfully impeached, smeared with the Trump-Russia collusion hoax, and defrauded at the ballot box; who had his home invaded by Biden’s Gestapo and was indicted (and convicted) by leftist courts on more “Trumped up” felonies than I can count. When all of that failed, they tried to assassinate him. Twice.
Most people would long ago have balled up, sobbing, into the fetal position, especially after being shot.
But not Trump.
One’s strength of character – or lack of it – is most starkly displayed, with all facades stripped away, when faced with imminent death. And what did Trump do? He thrust his bloody head above the phalanx of Secret Service agents shielding him from a potential second assassin’s bullet and defiantly pumped his fist in the air, yelling;
“Fight! Fight! Fight!”
The photo of him would be iconic … if the media weren’t so intent on burying it.
You might not like Donald Trump, but no serious person can dispute his guts. And no serious person can deny that he has become a much better politician. He has learned and adapted. He is revealing not the venal side he previously displayed but instead humor, appreciation, and, dare I say, just a touch of humility.
After watching the assassination attempt, I wondered if Trump’s near-death experience might make him a more compassionate, more introspective person. I believe it has.
What it has not changed is his Chutzpah. Ignoring Secret Service advice to hold only indoor rallies, the new and improved Donald Trump returned to Butler, PA, and, after greeting the massive crowd, gave the opener that everyone asked for: “…as I was saying…”
Despite a couple of assassination attempts, in Dearborn, he waded through a crowd of Islamic voters, shaking hands and patting backs as the Secret Service looked both horrified and helpless.
When Trump vividly mocks his opponents, he demonstrates a clear understanding of Saul Alinsky’s fifth rule, used so effectively by the left: “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. It is almost impossible to counterattack ridicule. Also it infuriates the opposition, who then react to your advantage.”
The New & Improved Republican Party
To the dismay of some, Trump has recreated the Republican Party in his image. No longer the refuge of “Country Club Republicans” who hold luncheons to console each other on the ills of American society, Trump’s populism has made it the party of the common man: Auto workers, coal miners, cops, border patrol, southerners – people he has led to finally understand that the Democrat Party deserted them at the 1968 Democratic National Convention and has been hell-bent on socialism ever since.
While the Republican Party used to lament their inability to win the Hispanic vote, Trump has made inroads into the demographic, all while fighting illegal immigration and promising to deport the thousands of criminal “migrants” (the new politically correct phrase) which Joe and Kamala have carefully shepherded across the border.
Meanwhile, the guy Democrats claim is “racist” attracted lots of blacks and Jews to his massive Madison Square Garden rally, all while garnering more of the black vote than Republicans have in decades. (Since LBJ’s “Great Society,” perhaps?) Judging by the Republican National Convention and Trump’s enthusiastic rallies, the Republican Party has not been so vibrant since Ronald Reagan.
Is Victory Imminent?
As Harris’ presidential run founders on the rocks of her complete inability to express an intelligent thought, Democrats have reverted to the tactics of Soviet Russia: In perfect projection, they accuse Trump of everything of which they themselves are guilty.
- “Threat to Democracy?” Check.
- “Fascism” (or “Nazism”)? Check. (Not exactly, but certainly closer than Trump.)
- Dangerously violent rhetoric? Check. (I actually believe the goal is to get Trump assassinated.)
- Increasing global instability? Check.
The funniest thing was seeing Harris tell the world that Trump will take people’s guns. (Says the woman who is on record promoting mass gun confiscation.)
I normally don’t predict close elections. But barring massive fraud or major disaster (neither of which is beyond the realm of imagination), at this point, I believe Donald J. Trump will be the 47th President of the United States.
Trump, of course, summed it up best at the Green Bay rally when he said, “My message to Joe and Kamala is very simple. You can’t lead America if you don’t love Americans.”
Make it happen, get out, and VOTE, VOTE, VOTE!
About Paul Valone
Author F. Paul Valone has been kicking leftist tail for twenty-eight years. Alarmed by the U.S. House passage of the “assault weapon” ban in 1994, he decided to take action. Finding no suitable organization, he organized a rally leading to the creation of a 501(c)(4) organization, Grass Roots North Carolina (GRNC), which remains North Carolina’s primary and most successful gun rights group to this day.
