Comments on: Trump’s chances in New York https://thenewneo.com/2024/04/25/trumps-chances-in-new-york/ A blog about political change, among other things Tue, 07 May 2024 19:38:33 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0 By: Skip https://thenewneo.com/2024/04/25/trumps-chances-in-new-york/#comment-2738513 Tue, 07 May 2024 19:38:33 +0000 https://www.thenewneo.com/?p=133975#comment-2738513 This entire trial will be a Kangaroo Court story for the ages. Nothing in it is still on the laws but the Marxists are making up whatever they can dream up. The Prosecutor, DA and Jury all are on the same side so it’s a matter of 1 or 2 people remember what their birthright American is what it’s about.

True, he writes “He’s vain, self-absorbed, crude at times…”. Agreed. But where are the charismatic leaders who aren’t?

He continues: “and [Trump] has little humility.” Ok — when a man of accomplishment is proud, often arrogant, what EXACTLY counts as “humility” that’s good and worthy of a leader?

Trump dishes out praise Big Time to those who don’t attack him personally, yet maybe powerful (cf, Kim, Putin, etc).

This capacity I’ve seen at work plenty of times while watching him in his ceremonial role as President, such as massaging UN leaders into the White House in open meetings (broadcast live on FNC in early 2017, or in his capacity of emceeing Medal of Freedom awards ceremonies where he liberally lauds others as well as the most honorable awardee’s (as seen on C-Span).

He can put a cork on his ego when the occasion demands it, and almost always does. Quite admirably, too.

Trump is by no means the equivocating, temporising, diplomat. And we don’t need one now. We need the opposite in a leader.

So, J.J., perhaps you can cite some examples of Trump failure to heed the occasion demanding humility? Anyone, else, specify?

Everytime the MSM reports on them, the ridiculousness of it is shown to swing voters. There is a reason Trump went up after every indictment. He will go up after a conviction as well.

Please, I would love to see a credible source describe identical behavior in other, unindicted and otherwise legally untroubled, members of the party in power.
Miguel @ 3:34 pm, the clear distinction between the two is that Obama’s actions (as described in the tweet) were obviously official acts whereas Trump’s might have been personal in some instances.
Et al. @ numerous times, a Trump win in NY, unlikely as it is, would leave me giggling like Kamala for the rest of my life. As a long suffering resident of rural Western NY, I am encouraged to become politically active for the first time in a while; a Trump win here is possible, if unlikely. Hallelujah! Now, will the GOP invest any campaign effort or money to make it less unlikely?

And I’ll repeat this phrase often until it no longer applies:
We are not represented, and our votes don’t matter.

Sounds great to me. However, we need a couple of things . . .

– the media loudspeakers and megaphones, and
– people who are interested enough to pay attention.

It’s a tall order, sez mee.

Turn the tables completely and put the woke on defense.

NYC construction worker goes viral for saying exactly what he thinks of Biden after attending Trump visit: ‘This man represents the majority of America’

After Trump left the site one construction worker was asked by a Newsmax reporter: ‘What’s it like seeing so many Republicans in Manhattan, so many Trump supporters in Manhattan. Does that surprise you?’

The man, dressed ready for work, didn’t hesitate.

‘No, not at all. It’s turning now. It’s Trump’s turn again.’

He was then asked for his message to Joe Biden.

Without missing a beat, he quipped: ‘F**k you.’
