The Argument For Trump, By A Never Trumper

I was wrong about Trump​

By M.B. Mathews

I recently wrote a column about why I believed Trump should not run in 2024. I was wrong. I allowed my distaste for Trump’s personality to override his virtues, which are considerable. Some people want Trump without his vices. I was among them -- until yesterday, when I watched and listened to Tom Klingenstein’s speech titled “Trump’s virtues.” It was masterful and shamed me that I did not make the distinction between Trump's character and his virtues, the former being deeply flawed, the latter being almost perfect. I need to man up in my defense of the former President's virtues. The speech was among the most pointed I have heard and deserves some exposure. Klingenstein says:

Other Republicans say some version of “I like Trump policies but I don’t like the rest of him.” This gets it almost backwards. Although Trump advanced many important policies, it is the 'rest of him' that contains the virtue that inspires the movement… Trump was born for the current crisis, a life and death struggle against a totalitarian enemy I call woke communism... that control all the cultural and economic powers in America…
[Trump] revealed, not caused, the divide in this country. In war, you must make a stand… Trump is a manly man... traditional manhood, even when flawed, is absolutely essential… Trump plays to win... There are no clean hands in a fistfight…Trump is unreservedly, unquestionably pro-America… Trump is a refreshing break from the guilt and self-loathing that marks our age…

It is anti-Americanism that makes so many of us very angry: The Left have trashed America's Founding and her history to the point where some believe it virtuous to hate America. Rather than advocating forgiveness for sins, the Left are advocating hair shirts, self-flagellation, and perpetual guilt. It is un-American and certainly un-Christian.

Trump thinks we can vanquish all comers if we just put our minds to it, and he's right… Courage never demands perfection… Trump over and over said exactly what political correctness prohibits one from saying... Trump said Haiti is a shithole and that representative Maxine Waters has a low IQ. These were not racist lies. They were uncouth, politically incorrect observations that most of us would agree with but would not dare say.

Well, you are nothing if not consistent.

Yep. I look at opinions from all sides.

Looks like another Photoshopped Democrat contribution to the public discourse in Las Vegas. They knew they could suck in idiots like you.

It's your ignorance of the facts that causes you to post vacuous outbursts like the above.

So the argument for Trump boils down to "I like some thoughts he had, that other less vile, less autocratic, less misogynistic, less creepily into his daughter, less willing to lead an insurrection candidates also have had."

I mean, you could have called this thread "the argument for Mussolini" if you were just going to come in here and tell us that sometimes the trains ran on time.

Essentially, this thread is "Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn every once in a while."

Well, we should maybe aspire as a country to something better than the occasional acorn in our leadership.

What I like about Trump is the strength of his convictions.

What I dont like is his greed and untruthfulness.

Untruthfulness? OH, you must mean fake news.

I guess if you think its a good idea to judge presidential suitability by fathering skills, make yourself a chart with bidens kids versus trump’s kids and knock yourself out.

Good post, Right. Unfortunately, you can lead a horse to water, but with these brainwashed libtards, you can't make them think.

Don't waste your breath. One only needs to look at the country now, verses 14 months ago. The installed president wouldn't own up to a recession and cowardly left the podium rather than answer one single question.

Now watch the haters here shoot the messenger. Dems can't deal with facts.

Oh do I have to love Biden to think Trump is a worthless piece of shit?

Also funny how you zero in on the one bit that's about his kid and not the insurrection part.

Two things 1) Biden is a worthless old man and a feeble terrible leader and 2) that doesn't make Trump a good president. Both get to be shitty presidents.

Okay, you’re an equal opportunity hater.

Do you have Anything to say about Politics?

What part of what I had to say wasn't about politics?

My whole point was that you can get the 2 things you liked about trump from about 100 million other conservative Americans, so there's no real need to try to rehabilitate the man.

The American Thinker is all sides?

Essentially your post boils down to a case of abnormal brain communication. There's a report over at Cell Reports that sheds light on the mechanisms underlying LSD’s psychedelic effects and how it degrades through hallucination the brain’s ability to spatially represent everyday reality. I fear this condition is the productive source behind the raft of illusions you put forth above.

It is. It regularly presents the ideas of the left. It dissects them in detail, corrects the various malignancies, and offers advice on how the left can achieve better mental health in the future.

I definitely associate "manly man" with a crybaby who dyes his hair blonde at the age of 76.

Sure it does. It’s chock full of bias confirmation for you.

Aawww straight to ad hominem. Did I trigger you? are you gonna melt, Snowflake?

You say that while presenting two internationally known bias confirmation centers in your rejoinder.

Not at all shithead, but after that blast of gut wind in your first post, it does appear you're melting.

That's some first class wit right there.

The left in a nutshell....this is their response to an introspective and eloquent article "uh-huh uh-huh uh-huh penis joke"
