Why a kinder, gentler Trump cannot exist
By Gerald McGlothlin

Donald Trump, the charismatic and controversial figure who has sparked countless debates, remains a subject of fascination and critique among both his ardent supporters and fierce detractors.  While some find themselves reluctantly agreeing with his strategic direction despite their disapproval of his demeanor, others despise not only his policies, but also his character.

Trump, known for his unapologetic defiance of conventional political decorum, astutely recognizes the dilemma faced by many: "Why can't I control my personality?"  This rhetorical question hints at a paradox that eludes his critics.  After all, Trump's combative nature is undeniably integral to his effectiveness.

Renowned political analyst Dick Morris aptly captures the essence of Trump's rise to power, describing it as nothing less than a "hostile takeover of the Republican Party."  While this description may unsettle the established order, its undeniable effectiveness cannot be ignored.  Trump is not a man of appeasement or surrender, but one driven by action and assertiveness.  When confronted by figures like Senator Bob Corker and Jeff Flake, their political careers swiftly dwindled.  For Trump, it was not personal animosity, but a passionate defense of American greatness.

Donald Trump is who he is.  He does not have the self-discipline to be anyone or anything else than himself.

As much as I despise Tumpy, I think I will enjoy 4 years of him getting revenge.

I just don't see, even if he is elected there is that huge morass of swamp dwellers that he really didn't have much success with his vaunted draining first time around. And yet he is supposed to be more successful and get revenge? Even if he is fortunate enough to have a majority in one house so what? he was unable to get much done that lasted when he had a majority for two years in both houses by working with them to pass laws. Trump is just like certain employees I wrote reviews on where their main weakness was 'Does not work well with others', Trump is not a team player he's a showboat(Ok attention Whore) and really only cares about the attention he gets, and that attention needs not be positive because he is just as happy with negartive attention.

Nothing incorrect in your assessment.  Still.....   if he is re-elected, there is a signifcant presence in DC who have political blood on their hands in their desire to destroy him.    If there is one overiding trait of Trump, it is he is among the most vindicitive of the vindictive.

He will hell bent on revenge.  Get your popcorn poppers warmed up.

The problem with that then the opposition after four years will have their chance to get revenge on their detractors and so on and so on

We need serious, reform minded conservatives that believe in the concept of fiscal discipline and limited government. Without that, there is no chance of improvement.

That "revenge" will cost four more years of our lives in yet more failure. He has no idea how to organize people who are not his employees to get something done as well evidenced over his last time around. Our future as a country far outweighs Trump's revenge.

I think we've already reached critical mass and the likelihood of a turnaround is very remote. But at least there is still a chance. There is no chance of it with either Trump or Biden. Trump supports massive spending, just a different set of priorities. Trump also supports the replacement of real women with faux women and is all in with the "inclusive" crap.
