The Uncommonly Great President

Trump – The Uncommon President

Why is Trump is so hated by his political opponents?

He is completely exposing the bloated, inefficient, bureaucratic political establishment, the ones on the left in particular. All the left cares about is themselves. Hypocrisy at its best! He exposed the lies from the leftist media. He does not care about being cool or liked, as no real leader should.

The cowboy leader showed up at the right time and took advantage of the opportunity to become president and proved the political experts completely wrong. He is not concerned about what others say about him, as any great leader knows that what others say is none of your business. He is going where no other presidents were willing to go, to uncharted territories.

He thrives under opposition, resistance, and even chaos. While the opposition keeps the political circus running, he is getting things done, being uncommonly good at tackling difficult problems and situations. In a way, the damage the left can do to the country is contained as long as they keep attacking his character and his unusual style of leading the nation.

Trump has been able to address hot political issues that politicians have been dancing around for a long time. He has demonstrated enormous courage to tackle immigration, the weak economy, foreign trade, foreign affairs and taxation and regulations to improve American competitiveness. He is a president going on the offensive and getting a lot done in the midst of unprecedented desire by his opponents to remove him from the office, since day one.

The democratic goons are all out there watching every move he makes, trying to get him, yet he is outmaneuvering them all.  His ego is bigger than our country. Why not allow his ego work for the benefit of all Americans? So, what if Trump is performing for himself, for his ego. The great thing is that when he wins, everyone wins and all benefits from his victories.

He is a no-nonsense leader, called for such times, using his gut instincts to make great deals or make no deal at all. Yes, he is making America great again, just as he promised, leaving his opposition and naysayers with indigestion for having to eat the words and the fun they all made of him during his 2016 campaign.

So, what characterizes this unusual president? Here are 7 things that liberals despise:

1.      Results. In less than 2.5 years he has certainly been a great captain for the American ship. Economic indicators are all pointing in the right direction. He has been a great economic psychologist.  He took office fast and furious and quickly altered the mood of business and Wall Street. The most difficult thing is to explain the lack of results.

2.      Decisiveness. How refreshing to have the president make many quick decisions, from hiring to firing. This is so different from the typical political analysis paralysis that big government is known for. He certainly can made decisions, often gut-wrenching ones, that will benefit the nation many for years to come.

3.      Action. He has wit, grit, and guts to take action where action is needed, leaving the opposition breathing the dust. While the opposition talks, he takes action to get things done. Since the opposition has no clue about his strategies and plans, all they can do is to go to the battle field, wonder what has happened and blow a lot of smoke.

4.      Business acumen. Have you ever seen a prosperous nation that is anti-business and against business profits? There is none. The prosperity of any society depends on the success of the business enterprises. America was long overdue for a president that is pro-business with deep knowledge of what it takes to build and run businesses. Trump has survived in an industry full of sharks so it is obvious that he has acquired some shark habits.

5.      Character. Character is Integrity plus courage. Integrity is doing what you promised, what you said you were going to do. Remember the promise of our previous president of uniting the nation and ended up doing exactly the opposite. Courage is the ability to act in the midst of any situation, no matter how difficult or fearful it may be. Strong character produces authority by taking responsibility and accountability for delivering results that were promised.

6.      Polarization. Leadership is always polarizing. If you need them, you cannot lead them.  The problem with many politicians is that they want to please everyone or to be disliked by no one. Remember how unpopular Lincoln was for standing firm on what he believed were the non-negotiables during his presidency? Lincoln stood resolute to abolish slavery and keep the union together (apparently some have not learned that lesson yet). Yes, Trump will build the wall!

7.      Vision. Make America Great Again. American is changing its course, thanks to an uncommon visionary, a somewhat of a lunatic man. He is going to lead America to uncommon prosperity, where America is not only respected but feared again around the world.

What amazes me is how many Americans want him to fail. While the left goons keep increasing their shenanigans, he keeps getting more popular and more people are moving to his camp.  Trump will go down in history as a great president, for pivoting the nation into a very prosperous future. I would rather have a president for blue-collar workers than one for the aristocratic elite, the educated derelicts, any time!
