So, Trump has won in a landslide getting the Electoral vote count of 312, the popular vote of around 75 million, the senate, the house, and the Supreme Court. So let's look at somethings.
The past 4 years were awful and most people even around the world seem to want to go back to what it was when Trump was in charge.
The Pull out of Afghanistan. Trump had already set up the pull out and made deals with all sides to make it work. The agreement being that the US would pull out by May, but Biden-Harris wanted to pull out on 9/11 so they could parade around declaring they ended The War on Terror. Without giving the Taliban anything to agree to this change. So the Taliban decided to renew the conflict on the original agreed date. The Afghan army that the US had built up for 20 years instantly collapse because Biden-Harris didn't pay them; which Trump originally planned to do. So its collapse while the US forces were lazily withdrawing to the point it turned into a route. An embarrassing retreat on the world stage that weaken America's prestige around the world and soured the citizens to anymore interventions. This embolden America's rivals to enact their own plans. Also the US Forces left behind billions of dollars in military equipment the Taliban can now use themselves or sell to others.
War In Ukraine. Putin had made it very clear over the years that he would not allow Ukraine with the largest army in Europe to join NATO as it would put it on Russia's border a short trip to Moscow. He didn't do anything with Trump, but after the disaster with Afghanistan he saw Biden weak enough to risk an invasion to cripple Ukraine and force a peace deal to make sure it remains out of NATO; also to grab some territory. He attacked Kiev in hopes of a quick victory by taking the capital, but his primary focus were the four regions/oblast that would connect Russia to Russian controlled Crimea. Which would give Russia a land route to the Black Sea to control it and one of its most ancient desire's a warm water port. Biden's main means of fighting Russia -besides arming the Ukrainians- is sanctions and trying to force the rest of the world to go along with it, which backfired. As Russia was the primary supplier for natural goods such as oil and gas to Europe. Which has led to both Europe and the global economy at large to be crippled if not put into a death spiral. Not only that but not every country isn't going along with the US and is instead supporting Russia: China, India, Several African nations, the Middle East including Saudi Arabia, and even some central and southern America states. Risking turning the world from a Unipolar world with America as the sole superpower to a bipolar world with a declining America-Europe up against an ascendant China-Russia.
Gaza. Apparently Trump's Abrahams Accords along with punishing sanctions on Iran had largely brought peace and stability to the Middle East had not seen in over 50 years. Besides Iran, all the Arab states had recognized Israel, made peace with it, and stopped supporting a separate Palestinian state. Without foreign support they would eventually be forced to peacefully come to the table on Israel's terms. All Biden-Harris had to do was not mess with it. Instead they tore up the accords and lifted the sanctions. Allowing Iran to secure funding and equipment from the Afghanis for Hamas which enacted a terrorist attack on civilian targets on October 7th 2023. Which led to a brutal reprisal by Israel which has led to a rise in antisemitism especially in Europe and the Left in the US. Biden having to play both sides to appease the largely Israel supporting federal government and his Palestine supporting voters, pleasing no one. Also, as the war has gone on it has completely soured Israel's relations with the Arab-Muslim states in the Middle East. Which was increasingly projected to led to a larger religious war in the Middle East if nothing changed.
Illegal Immigration: It went from a border state issue to a 50 state issue. From the second Biden got in and Harris was made Border Czar. The Southern Border has been flooded with illegal immigrants. Tens of thousands every day millions every month. Overwhelm and sick of it the Republican Governors decided to do what Trump once suggested. Bus the illegals to the sanctuary cities so they could deal with it. Starting with that embarrassing for the Left event at Martha's Vineyard (a vacation spot for the wealthy elites of the country) where they scream all the stuff the border states been saying for years. Proving a point and seeing how successful it was they decided to continue the program. Now Democrat control major cities are poorly run siphoning off most of the budget and spending the minimum to keep the city afloat. So, they were quickly overwhelm by these immigrants filling their barely functioning systems. Also the border is not controlled by either the US or the Mexico government. It is controlled by the cartels. Anyone that wants to cross has to pay them, they kill anyone who tries to cross without their blessing, and they all owe debts to them. So this also means an increasing in crime and a drug epidemic with the deadly fentanyl.
Economy. Lower and Middle class can barely afford groceries.
Biden's health. Biden was actually showing early signs of either Alzheimer or dementia during the 2020 race. It was there and you know if you can tell the signs, but it was early enough to be hidden for most people. Also helped that Covid allowed him to avoid the public for most of the race. He has been on a decline for the past 4 years but the media has helped hide it, and his staff drug him to keep him semi-cognizant for short speeches. They refused to run a primary because they hoped to hide it again. So they could have 8 years of Biden, then 8 years of Harris. That all fell apart after that debate and they quickly threw him under the bus. Which made him spiteful toward his party and his successor.
Kamala Harris is known for being very intellectually lazy. She always had her staff do most of her work. She rarely if ever read the files or memos her staff made for her so when either put in front of a judge as a prosecutor or the media as a politicians. All she could do is drunkenly yammer like your wine drunk aunt and awkwardly laugh. Then she would punish her staff for making her look like a fool for the data she never read; which why as VP she have a 92% turnover rate with staff. It was apparently a known in-joke in legal circles of California that if she was a the prosecutor of a case, the defense attorney would high five their client; as they had already won the case. During her entire time as a lawyer she only handled a case that went to court 5 times in about 30 years. Since she was bad, her primary targets were people that hopefully could not afford good lawyers. Poor Blacks. She locked up thousands of black men for marijuana possession charges and then kept them in jail passed their release dates so the state could use them as slave labor. She went after poor black mothers for their children's truancy because the Teacher's Unions weren't getting their cut of the funding from the government for attendance. One mother lost her job, her house, and 12 year old daughter had a stroke, all due truancy. The mother's daughter had sickle cells so she had to constantly go to the hospital for treatment; which the school knew about. She disbanded the California narcotics division they had since prohibition which has let the cartels run rampant. She also apparently was involved in a case that led to the current standards in video games.
Apparently, her primary skill was positioning herself. She couldn't win a race, but she make herself the first pick if someone had to step down for one reason or another. That how she became DA of San Francisco, Attorney General of California, Senator of California, VP as Biden to get the nomination had to agree to pick a PoC woman as his VP and she was the first choice, and The Democrat's Presidential candidate for 2024 election; as if they didn't choose her, they would have to give back a Billion Dollars in campaign funding that was raised for Biden.
Her campaign had to run on "Trump is Hitler," and fearmongering about abortion (all the states she won already have their desired abortion laws and the Republicans want it as a state issue) because she had nothing else to run on. The economy was better under Trump, immigration became the main concern after the economy which she was put in charge of, people got sick of woke, and there were no wars under Trump. Also she had a campaign that had a billion dollar the highest raised ever for a presidential campaign, and she ended with a debt of $20 million in about 3 months.
The Debates. Hopefully I said it before but I think the early debate had a real impact. Normally, they are all crammed into October just before the election one week after another. This allowed the media to controlled who won. With them spread out for one, it forced out Joe, for two, the farther time apart allowed for more discussion for each one, and three, they were over before October leaving only campaign events and interviews which Trump-Vance were good at and Harris-Waltz were bad at.
Polling. Pollster continue to refused to adjust their oversampling of Democrats. Leading to be blindsided by how unpopular they really are.
Celebrities and the Mainstream Media. They still do not realize how hated they are by most people and how they are increasingly irrelevant. Not helped they back Kamala to the hilt she lost and its now been discovered all their endorsements were paid for in the millions.
Now on to Trump. No one was more surprise than he was when he won in 2016. So he felt obligated to try to fulfill his campaign promises. Where he was met with a hostile establishment that did not want him and did everything they could to undermined him.
Now the next part is hearsay I have heard.
Ivanka Trump was his favorite child and consider the brightest among them. She and her husband Jared Kushner decided they would help her Daddy by becoming his top political advisors. She decided to do this by ingratiating herself with the establishment. They were in charge of help pick out his staff in his first term and they were even the ones who selected Mike Pence to be his VP. Which resulted in the high turn over rate when the appointments kept stabbing her daddy in the back. Remember BlackRock everyone? Jared and Ivanka helped it become as powerful as it has become by getting Trump to support it; that then switched over to Biden when he lost.. She is the only member of her family that will both call Jan 6 an insurrection and that her Daddy lost 2020 election. You will notice she is not a part of his 2024 team.
Donald Trump Jr. Is the eldest and considered the dumbest of Trump's kids. Unlike his sister who was buddying up with the establishment he talked to conservative radio, podcast and such to realize. The Republican voters do not like their Republican Politicians, they only put up with them because the Democrats would turn everywhere into Detroit otherwise, and they are quite happy to replace them with people that actually do what they were sent to Washington to do. Such as the Tea Party. So Trump doesn't need the Washington Politicians, he needs to keep his voters as they will replace the politicians that oppose Trump. When his father lost in 2020 he spent the next two years planning on replacing his sister as his father's top advisor. When he presented his plan to his father in 2022 Ivanka tried to oppose it. Trump said to give her own plan, which Jr was able to counter every one of her ideas. When she lost, he told to stay out of it, and focus on her family. He put Lara Trump in charge of a RNC as Co-Chair who then enacted a plan to deal with the ballot stuffing that lost Trump the 2020 election. About 20,000 volunteer poll watchers were trained in secret for months, and about 1,000 lawyers paid to be ready for any shenanigans in any of the swing states. He was also the one who selected Vance to be Trump's second VP. He had to expend any favors he had with his father to do it as Vance was a Never-Trump Republican during his term. Jr knew that Vance had switched afterwards and was the perfect VP for his father. Someone willing to take the fight to the news as well as eloquently explain the MAGA movement better than Trump, and was young enough to be President after him. Trump wasn't convince till that VP debate.
Trump was a decent President that's administration was ridden with scandals. While it would have been somewhat better in 2020 if he had gotten in. It is better that he had lost as now the world has seen just how bad Biden-Harris term has been they are far more willing to work with Trump. He has removed the traitors from his staff. As well as the Never-Trump Republicans have been slowly removed from office over the years, so they don't have the influence they once did, and know going against Trump too much will cause their voter to replace them.
