Donald the Great
I heard him speak at conference to which he hadn’t even been invited. It was at Mar-a-Largo, in a small dining room just off the reception area. He was in tennis whites. He just walked to the front of the room and the moderator handed him the microphone. He spoke about China, borders, the economy. I was surprised. I knew him as a real estate developer and an entertainment figure. He had built casinos in Atlantic City, NJ, owned the Miss Universe Organization which included Miss USA and Miss Teen USA, had had a highly rated TV show. Who was this confident, knowledgeable, eminently reasonable well-informed man? I turned to my friend and said “He should run for President.” The year was 2011.
In 2015 he announced his candidacy. He won in 2016. More and more evidence is pointing to election irregularities that enabled Joe Biden to be declared the winner in 2020. Confounding his enemies Trump ran again and won in 2024.
Today, on June 14, Flag Day and his 80th birthday, President Trump did the inconceivable. He announced a settlement with Iran that will result, among other things, in the re-opening of the Straits of Hormuz. It is estimated that once oil shipping resumes, the price of oil will drop. It is also likely that the deal will lead to the return to and expansion of the Abraham Accords, the same Accords that played a large part in the 10/7 terrorist invasion of Israel.
What did Iran and Hamas accomplish by their attack?
Nearly three years later nearly every single planner and executor of the atrocity has been executed and Iran, once the feared, unstoppable exporter of global terrorism is broke, leaderless and its ability to fund proxies, demolished.
And it was Donald the Great who did it.
The terrorists, like his political enemies, underestimated him.
Trump was a tested man. He faced the rough worlds of finance, politics, labor unions, crime families and prevailed. Long before he decided to run for president, he had remade the New York City skyline, especially on the West Side of the city.
He was a man who loved beauty, whether in architecture or interior design.
He was sending a message.
“You don’t have to live like this.”
So he changed “this”.
The borders are closed, the grift has been exposed, the illegal aliens have either self-deported or will be deported.
Washington, D.C., once one of the dirtiest, most neglected cities is now sparking with sandblasted marble and limestone gleaming in the summer sun and clean water flowing merrily in refurbished fountains.
Wait ‘til you see what he and the energized electorate do next!
