BUYER'S REMORSE AMONG TRUMP VOTERS?

Do We Now Regret Getting Exactly What We Asked For? Not me!

Having been aggressively challenged for making the accusation, the same person who, in another forum, recently recklessly charged the Trump Administration with “staggering incompetence”, responded with the following:

“I appear to have excited a good deal of pushback with my admittedly impertinent comments about the Trump Administration. As Steve well knows, I am interested in why over 75 million Americans voted for DJT and whether any or many are now suffering from buyer’s remorse. (Coffee house chatter in my neighborhood is about Medicaid cuts and Forest Service workers being let go.)

“However, I should also say that I believe that at a point in time it is no longer useful to defend/explain current administration failures by reference to mistakes made in the previous administration. President Trump is building his record day-by-day and will be judged by the 75 million who voted for him as well as the millions who did not.

“Which brings me to the referenced list of 48 current Trump policies… that—just months into the new administration— represents a work plan for the next 3 to 4 years. It is a good check list to judge accomplishments and failures going forward— Let’s see how this check list unfolds over time.”

Hmmm… Anyone else notice the distinct change in tone this fellow, having been challenged to support his accusation of “staggering incompetence”, takes here?

Sorry, sir. You have provided no substance, no supporting argument, no credible examples supporting your earlier ill-advised charge that the Trump Administration is "staggeringly incompetent". Indeed, you seem now to be backing away from your previous “impertinence” (slander) in bringing this accusation...

Discretion now the better part of valor, sir? Now, instead of boldly declaring Trump's "staggering incompetence" methinks I hear you mumbling something like "let's see how it all turns out."

When you ask why 76 million Americans in their electoral and popular majorities gave Trump a landslide victory in November - as if this was somehow a mysterious and inexplicable outcome - you embarrass and demean yourself. The people - at least the 76 million who had at least half a brain (this excludes the 74 million who voted for the Cackling Commie Dingbat Harris) had three good general reasons that any fool could see:

1. Trump's first term record of accomplishments

2. The subsequent utter disaster perpetrated upon the country by the election-stealing, corrupt, lawless, anti-American Biden regime

3. The America First, Make-America-Great-Again agenda Trump clearly set forth in the campaign for his second term

Now, with Trump only a few months into his second term and actively doing exactly what he promised the people he would do - no surprise rabbits being pulled out of his hat - why would any thinking Trump supporter with any realistic grasp of how things work in the real world have buyer's remorse at having helped elect him? It is very early days, and he's only just got started.

We hired Trump to pull a moribund addict nation - a corrupt, morally turpitudinous and economically suicidal nation - a nation suckered and betrayed by generations of America-hating globalist leadership - out of the gutter and restore it to integrity, prosperity, security and power. We hired Trump not just to pay lip service and apply band-aides to the nation's problems, as politicians have meaninglessly done for generations, but to perform radical surgery on a dying patient. Objecting now to Trump’s work so far would be akin to protesting the surgeon’s first cut of the scalpel as he sets to work removing a deadly cancerous tumor that will certainly kill the patient if not excised.

We want our great nation back, and we believe Donald Trump, a man for his times, and the policies he is pursuing can do it. Having given him the power to get the job done, it would be foolhardy now to dramatically shorten his leash.

As markets react to Trump’s tariff agenda with predictable volatility, does any thinking person believe this great and monumental work - bringing back to good health a patient that has been racked with illness for decades - can be accomplished without invasive trauma, pain and an extensive recovery period? As I argued in a recent Substack post - "THE GREAT TARIFF BRUHAHA" - there is a price to be paid by the American people if - after years of globalist, anti-American treachery within and without our nation - they want the fundamentals of their country to be reestablished on a sound footing. No free lunch. The real question is whether the patient, having authorized the surgeon to operate, has the courage to endure the necessary procedures and the subsequent painful recovery.

BTW, sir, where and how has the Trump Administration attempted to "defend/explain current administration failures by reference to mistakes made in the previous administration"? Always remembering that just sayin' it don't make it so (see my earlier Substack post “THE LEFT’S DECEITFUL WAR OF WORDS”), kindly provide us a list of the referenced "current administration failures" and cite examples of how the administration has attempted to defend or explain them based on the failures of the Biden regime.

Of course, what is obvious here is that what Trump inherited from the lawless, anti-American Biden regime was indeed a national shambles - an ongoing, unfolding national catastrophe - multi-faceted, potentially existential problems - corruption of the legal/judicial system, corruption of the law enforcement system, a captured and corrupt national media, open invasion of our borders, corruption of the nation's economy, foreign nation sucking away our wealth, a hollowed-out manufacturing core, destruction of the nation's currency, drastically weakened military strength, dramatically weakened national security and more - that under the best of circumstances will take years or decades fully to correct. Easy enough to stand on the sidelines and take cheap shots at the necessarily, unavoidably imperfect efforts of those trying to address those problems at the root level.

You could just flip a coin….
