Lindsey Graham in a speech yesterday.
Can Trump win and restore America? "Well, he did it once, he can do it again — isn't that why we're here?" Lindsey Graham said in a fiery defense of Donald Trump."
Graham was referring to Republican forces who had been sharing a narrative the 2024 GOP candidate should hold Trump's positions but be someone other than Trump.
"There is one thing I want to talk to you about. How many have heard: 'We like Trump's policies, but we want somebody new?'
"There are no Trump policies without Donald Trump, (I know) I was there!"
"You know why $400 billion was given by NATO nations? Because Trump asked, and they were afraid to say no. Every president since I've been up here has asked NATO to give more money, but noney gave except when Trump asked.
"People talk about China. Trump did something about China. They finally paid. Everybody's been talking about China. But Trump made them pay.
"You know why Mexico said yes? Because Trump scared the hell out of them by taking on China.
"You know why the Abraham Accords came about? It's because Trump convinced the Arabs and the Israelis the US was strong and you're reliable. Trump killed the terrorists that needed to be killed. Trump convinced the Arabs to work with the Israelis. "And the world became a better place. But now we live in a dangerous world."
Off the camera, Newsmax national correspondent Logan Ratick reported Graham was heckled by a Trump supporter while Graham was speaking. But Graham was undeterred.
"The good news for the Republican Party, there are many talented people for years to come, but there is only one Donald Trump," Graham continued. "And I say this sincerely: You can talk about his policies, but you could not do what he did without him."
So why is he a one-termer?
You do realize that Trump added eight trillion dollars to the national debt and that the debt limit was raised 3 times during his tenure?
He also praised Putin and Kim and his daughter got multiple licenses from China.
I could go on bit you'd just ignore it anyway. Because you're a MAGAT

What did he do about it? I mean, he could have gotten a wall if he had agreed to DACA. But if he had gotten the wall, then he wouldn't have been able to use "build a wall" as a campaign slogan.
Actually, Pomepo would carry out much of the same policies as Trump. Frankly, as a person, Trump does not qualify for the lofty office.
I prefer Pompeo to DeSantis. He's much more well-thought.
I believe Trump turns people off because of his arrogant, narcissistic personality and his sometimes childlike behavior. Those who never follow politics but still vote just to say they voted will tend to not vote for anyone like him.

I liked most of his policies EXCEPT for the pullout from Syria and separating children from their parents at the border. That was a big mistake. He WAS a divisive personality. I feel that Mike Pompeo would carry forth his foreign and domestic policies but be a better communicator to all Americans and a better coordinator a our nations top CEO.

Trump virtually made Pompeo what he is. Trump picked him from an obscure congressman and promoted him to CIA director and Sec'y of State" in his admin. For him to now run against Trump using Trump's own policies shows a character flaw of self-serving disloyalty. There is something suspiciously wrong with that.

Because your proud choice Biden and Harris, who you think were smarter and more brilliant, had better policies, and were much better for the country than Trump apparently got more votes. Congratulations on picking the worst president and VP in American history, bar none.

You may not like the truth, but the truth is that Biden has reduced the national debt by 1.4 trillion dollars, whereas Trump added 8 trillion dollars to it.
The proof is in performance and the GOP is a disaster.

Frankie you got a few things wrong here. The National debt is $31 trillion and it has continued to skyrocket under Biden. What Biden reduced is the annual DEFICIT. The federal budget deficit fell to $1.4 trillion for the 2022 calendar year, down from the $2.6 trillion a year ago all of which were what Biden himself had incurred.

Separating children from parents at the border, you say? Please tell us of a President who did not do the exact same thing as Trump long before Trump and after Trump. Are you saying Biden does not do the exact same thing? You would be wrong if you are. Many of Trump's policies worked great and would still be working today for the betterment of America IF dumb ass Dementia bound FJB had not stopped all of those working policies the day he was elected. Not one good thing has come to America since Biden took office, not one. Nothing but lies and corruption and that is just Biden's personal family problems let along the problems he brings to America and Americans.
