Now that I have your attention.
Donald Trump really did not win the presidential election earlier this week. The American people won the presidential election.
Donald Trump simply served as the vessel and the vehicle for those whose voices had been ignored for years by the global elites around the world.
Trump is an existential threat to the global cabal that are comprised of both the left and the right. The global elites put all their marbles on Hillary Clinton being U.S. president in 2016, and Trump comes out of nowhere to upend their well-thought-out plans.
Hillary was imminently controllable, so the thinking went. So, when Trump interrupted their plans, the powers that be made it their goal to destroy Trump by any and all means necessary.
When Trump lost to Biden in 2020, the assumption was that Trump would simply fade away. But Trump’s machismo mandated that he seek reelection to the presidency, and Tuesday night, he pulled off the biggest political comeback in the history of the world.
To prevent this unlikely event, the global elite unleashed "lawfare” against Trump. The conventional thinking was no one could withstand the full might of our justice system unleashed on one individual and his movement—MAGA.
They totally underestimated the fight in Donald J. Trump. No other mere mortal could have withstood what was unleashed on Trump. He not only survived, he was victorious!
Extreme radical liberal Democrats, including Kamala Harris, called Trump Hitler, a fascist, an autocrat, a threat to democracy.
Elites called parents who did not want their girls playing sports with boys bigots who were transphobic.
Radical leftists actually said it was OK for a medical professional to mutilate the genitalia of healthy boys and girls without parental involvement.
Radical leftists in the schools were teaching five-year-olds that simply because they were white, they were oppressors and teaching Black kids that because they were Black, they were oppressed!
The American people asked Trump to bring back the days of yay and nay. The days where everyone was simply an American; where everyone’s dreams could actually come true if one was willing to work for it; where everyone judged people as individuals, not as part of a group.
The American people asked Trump to make them feel secure walking down the streets in their own country.
The American people asked Trump to allow them again to believe that America, with all of its warts, was still the shining city on a hill.
The American people asked Trump to focus on our citizens in need, not the citizens of the world.
America first does not mean America only!
America, by far, is the most generous country on earth, but our own people are hurting and need a leader who will put us first. Not the forty million illegals in this country.
Why are we spending close to a half a trillion dollars in Ukraine? How are they relevant to our national security? Ukraine is a European issue, not an American issue.
Trump, as imperfect as he is, is the most unlikely and the most improbable vessel God could have ever chosen for such an assignment.
This coming from a graduate of Oral Roberts University.
Of all the presidential candidates in our country’s history; of all the presidents in our country’s history; no one has ever come close to achieving what Trump did this week.
Trump received 16% of the Black vote, 25% of Black males, 7% of Black females, 42% of the Hispanic vote, 55% of the white vote.
This is the most diverse coalition ever put together in a presidential race in the history of our country.
Yet, if you listen to radical liberals and their radical sycophants in the media, Trump is supposed to be a racist. Go figure.
Democrats and most pollsters said that there would be a massive gender gap in favor of the Democrats because of the abortion issue. There was only an eight-point difference between Trump and Harris among women, with Harris receiving about 53% of this vote.
So much for women being singularly obsessed with abortion.
Trump, in many ways, has the potential to be more impactful globally than even former President Barack Obama.
Obama was historic by virtue of being the first biracial president in American history, African and white. He had no signature achievement of any note during his eight years as president. Obamacare was and is a disaster.
Trump is historic because he is only the second person in U.S. history to win nonconsecutive terms as president, Grover Cleveland being the first in 1892.
So, Trump is not only historic, but he has the chance to also be transformative. We are watching in real-time the tectonic transformation of American politics right before our eyes. The current obsession with race and gender globally is being replaced with an obsession with class; thus allowing someone like Trump to put together a ruling majority of Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, Indians, and Whites who would normally never be in the same room together.
But now it is not farfetched to see a billionaire in a business suit sitting next to a farmer in overalls sitting next to a schoolteacher sitting next to a plumber.
What is the common thread among this group? They do not think America is a "racist” country; they do not want the government to continue to dictate how they live their lives; they simply want a fair shot, not an equal shot to live the American dream; they do not want equal outcomes, they want equal opportunity!
And Trump is the glue that is binding these disparate people together. The coalition Trump put together on election night is the embodiment of Make America Great Again (MAGA).
According to Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw, “The reasonable man adapts himself to the world: the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.”
By this definition, Trump will truly be the most unreasonable president in history!

Hello Raynard, it is as if you read my mind and presented them in a far more elegant and civil manner.
Hi Michael- I am talking to Raynard later today. I will make sure he sees this comment. Thanks for Reading. Raynard has a way with words, doesn’t he?
