Appreciating Donald ... Something for Everybody
[Read before reading: We all can't help but have a point of view. So far so good. If you are the sort that has a point of view that Donald J. Trump is the worst of the worst — like that he makes Adolf Hitler look like an Eagle Scout, what follows could come off as one of my readers has stated, a "nauseating screed". If, on the other hand, you will approach this with an open mind, then it may have something to offer you, regardless of whether you are a Trump supporter or not.]
In an effort to cast off the itchy cloak of my critics, I'm setting this down so that you might, if you care to, dig where I'm coming from.
If you want to understand that, you must understand that anything you could imagine is never all this, or is it all that. Duality baby. Like it, or transcend. Or, maybe both. There's something to be said for Advaita Vedanta and Kashmir Shaivism. Not this, not this. Versus, all of it! See, once again, duality even in philosophies on the Real Nature of It All.
So now, what about Donald?
Let’s face it Donald Trump isn’t the first guy in a line-up who would be your most likely pick for President. [Just look at him!] Maybe not even to shine your shoes. Lot's of opinions, in case you haven't noticed. You know what I mean. Yet ...
There’s two sides to everything. To Donald Trump as well. Some on the other side say he just THE WORST, and some say his sh#t don't stink. Welcome to the US of A, 2021.
Here's a bunch of topics on the subject The Donald. No particular order of importance. You can do that for yourself. Send your take to me and I will tabulate the results from my millions of readers.
Boasting. Guess who would be the Mohamed Ali of boasting. Yet, yet ... who would vote for the candidate who presented the opposite? I dunno! The truth lays somewhere in between. No? [Let’s argue.]
Bold. Donald lets us know in no uncertain terms that he’s the man for the job. And, that he will get it done. And, done right. He’s a big builder; come on, man. That’s what he does. [Let’s argue.]

Brave. Huh??? Yes. He gets up there and shows a genuine something. Unless he's the con man many think. Or, even if not genuine, then that would possibly be that he's the monomaniacal, egomaniac that many would unhesitatingly check that box on him. Big ... IF. BTW they all there in the beltway be that. But, like it or not, props to DT for showing that for all to see in just the way only The Donald can be. [Let’s argue.]
Honest. Stay with me. In a nutshell, what you see is what you get with him. Unless you're like those who are so sure that he is the champ Pinnochio and won't see it any other way. Worse case, that his authenticity is just a cover for some nefarious, undoing of all that we hold dear. So many would check that box too. Of course all the opposition shade and liberal media spin doesn't have one bit of influence on all those free thinkers who voted for the other guy. Just not possible. Let's put on another set of glasses. I think he says what he thinks. Never mind if you disagree with what he thinks. He sure comes off like that he does. He has made good on a lot of his promises. Most politicians promise up front, then fold under "current unforeseen and unpreventable conditions".
Mean. You bet. Unless you think that the US of A should do no more than just "speak out" when some real sh#t is going down somewhere beyond our borders. Or, that making nice with other competitor nations and other actors is the way to play the game. Of course, be nice. But firm. And, that big stick. Alas, our guy can be pretty mean on the stump, and toward those who cross him. If you were from New York you'd have a little less negative reaction to the style. [Let’s argue.]
Generous. What???, you say. He’s the poster boy for if you wanted to represent greed in human form. Astonishingly, I’d bet he’d endorse that enthusiastically. Greed is good. God is good. Greed is Godly. Thank you to that Calvinism. It’s the warp and the weave of our consumer culture. Yet, we’ve seen him in group settings and on the podium genuinely treating people with an authentic kindness. Okay, maybe not so much the “Fake News”. [Let’s argue.]
Smart. The master of branding. "Trump." Need I say more. "Pocahontas" ... that one still charms me. [Let’s argue.]
Transparent. He says what he thinks. Shockingly, rather, ahem, unfiltered. And, it sure looks like he believes his own BS. Which, on one hand, is a sort of integrity [Donald is like plastic wrap to Joe’s thoroughly sanded to opacity double-thick parchment pasted over with a fuzzy photo copy of himself all air-brushed and colorized] and, at the same time, can be so shocking and disconcerting. There he is ... he looks us square in the eye and, without a trace of doubt, and in all earnestness tells us that he’s The Man. For friggin’ sure! I think he knows his boast. The thing to his credit, if he in fact does, is that he has the stones to get up there and put himself in the driver's seat. Either way, he got game. Which, he did, after all. [Hey you ... get over it.] [Let’s argue.]
Strong. No other President in the history of this country has taken as much hot crap as one Donald J. Trump. Prove me wrong. Let’s not go to the obvious place arguing over whether or not he deserves it. Quite a wide spectrum of opinion on that point. Just grok how tough and strong a soul has to be to stay on top of the game with all that shade? Unless, of course, you see him as a complete con man; then, sling at will. Or an un-self-conscious sociopath. Sling more. [Let’s argue.]
The Act. He's a trip. Is he for real? Let’s face it, he doesn’t fit the mold for how we almost universally think a President should look and act. What lifts our national skirt is avuncular, competent, integrity, truthful. Well, someone such as Joe, would kind of be like it. Apparently; meaning, by appearances. 45 is an interesting mix of class and dรฉclassรฉ, he is. Donald, that is. The other guy, his class for my money comes off as just painted on. [That's harsh, I know. Just like to get a dig in there from time to time.] The guy’s got the common touch, though, gotta admit. He talks like he talks. I think that's him being him up there. Not some propped-up puppet groomed to look the part, reading a script that who know who’s really in charge wrote, and that if there is such a one(s) who knows they even know WTF their doing. [Let’s argue.]

Rich. Who doesn't wanna be that? But, not just land and dollar rich. Gold toilet rich. Jump a level. Take stock of all the points I've tried to make on the man so far. Each topic could be the thumbnail for a semester's college course, majoring in Trump Studies. He's a man of many facets. The beauty is he invites us all in to share that wealth. [Let’s argue.]
In gratitude to DJT. I love to argue. Wow, it's become a national pastime.
Thank you, and bless you, my former President Donald J. Trump.
PS Here's something from Facebook from Rick White on January 7, 2021 ...
Not open for debate. I have listened to everyone else’s hatred and rhetoric for months, so now I am having my day. If you don’t like it, you know where the delete button is. Let me be clear, I AM NOT a Biden fan. I think he is corrupt, a liar, and probably suffering from dementia. He has done nothing to improve anything in his 47-year political career. But what has Trump done in the past 4 years?
The "arrogant" SOB in the White House , brokered two Middle East Peace Accords, something that 71 years of political intervention and endless war failed to produce.
The "buffoon" in the White House, is the first president that has NOT engaged us in a foreign war since Eisenhower.
The "racist" in the White House, has had the greatest impact on the economy, bringing jobs, and lowering unemployment to the Black and Latino population of ANY other president. EVER!.
The "liar" in the White House, has exposed the deep, widespread, and long-standing corruption in the FBI, the CIA, the NSA, and the Republican and Democratic parties.
The "buffoon" in the White House, turned NATO around and had them start paying their dues.
The "fool" in the White House, neutralized the North Koreans and stopped them sending missiles toward Japan and threatening the West Coast of the US.
The "xenophobe" in the White House, turned our relationship with the Chinese around, brought hundreds of business back to the US, and revived the economy. Hello?????
The "clown" in the White House, has accomplished the appointing of three Supreme Court Justices ,who believe in the rights of the unborn and close to 300 Federal Judges.
This same clown lowered your taxes, increased the standard deduction on your IRS return from $12,500 to $24,400 for married couples and caused the stock market to rise to record levels, positively impacting the retirement accounts of tens of millions of citizens.
The “clown” in the White House, fast-tracked the development of a COVID Vaccine, which was just approved and is being shipped out as we speak and yet we still don't have a vaccine for SARS, Bird Flu, Ebola, or a host of diseases that arose during previous administrations???
The “clown” in the White House rebuilt our military, which the Obama administration crippled and fired 214 key generals and admirals, in his first year of office.
I got it, you don't like him. Many of you utterly hate and despise him. How special of you. He is serving you and ALL the American people
And might I add, he’s doing it for FREE..
What are you doing besides calling him names and laughing about him for catching the China virus?? Some of you were even hoping that COVID would be the cause of his demise??
Please educate me again as to what Biden has accomplished for America in his 47 years in office, besides making the whole Biden family richer???
By the way, where is Hunter? Oh, and when asked by the media about HUNTER, BIDEN has no response?
I’ll take the ‘clown’ any day, versus a fork tongued, smooth talking, hypocritical, corrupt liar. I want a strong leader who isn’t afraid to kick some ass when needed.
I don’t need a fatherly figure. I don’t need a liar. That's what Hollywood, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CBS and the New York Times are for.
God bless Donald Trump - the most unappreciated President in U.S. history.
