Should Trump run again, and should we support him?

In the spirit of the old Chinese curse “May you live in interesting times.”, it is interesting that we have such an incompetent administration in the White House, and interesting to watch them stumble around and lie and spin, and bungle so many things important to Americans. So what to do?
It is clear Trump wants to run again, most likely to face Hillary again. But should he?
If one looks back at his 4 years in office, one sees a record of great accomplishments. Whether foreign or domestic, his administration took on seemingly impossible tasks and won.
We had relatively secure borders.
The economy was booming.
Inflation was nil.
Interest rates were low.
Unemployment was at record lows.
We got a COVID vaccine in record time.
Our relationships with other nations greatly improved.
North Korea and Russia were talking to us.
Our trade was greatly improved, and China trade deal renegotiated.
NAFDA was dumped and a new trade agreement signed that was more fair to the US.
So why would we not re-elect this guy? Answer: The media.
We lived through 4years of Trump in the White House with the media nipping at his heels the whole time. Trump never had a real chance to govern without lies, rumors and innuendo following his every step. He not only had to fight the Dumocraps, there were the false Russian collusion charges, the false dossier, the false inditement of Trump staff, lies and misrepresentations galore, false impeachments and an American public divided, rightly or wrongly, as never before.
I support Trump, and I believe that his record and accomplishments will stand up against anyone’s. In addition he has shown that he can get the job done. He deserves a second term. But what concerns me is that the Cabal, the Deep State, and/or his opponents and the media will pick up where they left off in January 2021, and we will have another 4years like his previous 4 years with fabricated lies, distortions and fabricated scandals as then promulgated by a corrupt leftist media and the socialist/communist Dumocrap Party.

So here’s the question; if we know that Trump will be slandered and face the same opposition and baseless accusations as in his previous administration, would you vote for him in 2024?

    Hmm Principles'? How about "America First", "Fake News", revealing the massive corruption of the Democrat Communists, "A President can keep in touch with the people" "Old people can be full of energy. Older people can teach others new tricks. Even an ego maniac can be effective and protect the country. Public Opinion is more real than reality. We are subject to continuous propaganda. How a President can motivate without lies and spin. The slow dumb bureaucracy can be sped up. Boosting the economy to the highest heights ever. Tax and regulation cuts really is good for the country. Fought a brave fight against the lying scum. Created the most loyalty to a President in ages. Businessmen make a better leader than a befuddled politician whose only business is Monkey Business. A Marriage can survive adultery and gossip. A woman keeps a man on the straight and narrow except for his mouth. Men look good in business clothes even if they are overweight. etc.. . . .. .

    I would vote for Trump, but I do hope he doesn't run. THIS time, the Hillary people WILL NOT FAIL. And if they mount a different candidate, again, they know enough now that they will not fail, at least not against Trump.

    We need someone squeaky clean, and that does not describe Trump, as much as I love him and appreciate what he did (and didn't do). Rather than go on and on, I'll just say I agree with the things Drive Train has to say. (Edit: most of the things Drive Train has to say).

    I'll not vote until vote counting is proven fairly done and transparent.
    Voting is rigged against voters and for the deep state.
    Repeating the same action and expecting a different result is insanity.

    Yes and Yes. We need to wrestle away our government from lifelong corrupt career politicians.

    I'll vote for anyone who's not one of the current crop of far left socialist Democrats. I'd even vote for a Democrat, if they were staunch believers in the Bill of Rights.

    But unless someone else comes along who can rally this country, better than Trump did...I'll likely back him.

    Now that the country has seen what a disgraceful mess the Democrats have made of what was the stongest the nation has been in a long time into a third rate country on the verge of collapse with their high brow woke machinations it's hard to imagine anyone voting for more of the same. Radical Dems will, of course. The country needs someone with the same vision and the will and stamina to carry it out. Donald Trump is still on the top of the list though time may present us with others!

    My only comment is that to call Fauci an idiot is far too kind...read The Real Fauci by RF Kennedy and you will see he is a NAZIesque killer...death is too kind for him...

    He is the only logical choice right now...but I do not expect the country to return to business-as-usual. I expect the steal to be completely exposed and those who ran it to be convicted...along with the MSM and political criminals, which will require a complete change in our 'leadership'...we have become so used to lawlessness we ignore the need for punishment...I do not. Treason is a capital crime and hangings are overdue.

    I'm 50-50 on this. While he's a known quantity I still don't fully trust him. Sure, he's the best choice of a variety of shitty options, but isn't that always the case? We never have to actual choices. It could just be time for the cow to get off life support after being gang-raped and abused by the world so as to get back to milk-producing fitness (cash generating) for the next pillaging.

    Things can't be more obvious after the last election. Trumps passivity standing down and stepping aside is in neon glaring contrast to his persona and its a nice long stretch at the teat for the looters. Even with evidence, what got done to prevent it from happening again? The chessboard is reset. Lets forget and move on. Optics my ass.

    Disband the fedgov. Rebuild it according to its constitutional mandate. Restore the republic. Abolish the IRS and have state levy their own taxes to which a portion (2%) is given to the fedgov as its budget. Eliminate the dept of education, eliminate all welfare, eliminate all foreign aide. Don't imprison, no plea deals, hang everyone who committed treason and strip their families of the wealth globally, leaving that threat looming over anyone desiring to hold future office.

    I'm leery to trust anyone in government, media, sports, or medicine, and that includes Trump as well.

    I'm torn over Trump. I love that he was a speedbump to the new world order and leftist progs. I used to giggle at that all the time. That said - I think he spent the last half of his term too deep in mean tweets and not getting things done that he should have got done. I still have a little faith (not much) that an intelligent, effective pro-liberty person can be elected. I don't know...maybe I'm fooling myself and we're already past the edge. Yeah. Probably...

    I am in agreement with most of what you are saying but so what? We need (someone or a group of someone's) that has an integrated philosophy and understanding of what makes America worthwhile. The leader (or figurehead) needs to be as charismatic or able to portray the role of someone that is, in the manner of the actor Reagan. Such a group would need the backing of courageous leaders from every facet of life. In other words, a reincarnation of the founding fathers would have to be willing to risk their considerable accomplishments, life and fortune for principle. It happened once, but can it happen again?

    As it happens, I have posted many times here. I’m happy our paths finally crossed.
    I’m not advocating another candidate. I’m just asking the question to see what Gulchers think.

    While I would prefer to vote for an Objectivist than for Trump, Trump has one thing going for him that no one else in this day and age who is willing to run won't: he does not need anyone else. Voting for him would be like voting for Hank Rearden. He isn't perfect, but who of us is?

    Why is this the first post I've seen from you and I've been out here several years? You didn't suggest the name of someone we could vote for other than Mr. Trump!

    He fought for us. Let's fight for him! Not running would be giving up to the idiots and we shouldn't reward them for their cruelty to a man like Trump. I say we should kick butt!

    He has been a President that has had to operate as a President at WAR. The country has had an insurgency , an infiltration.
    Look at the weaponized FBI DOJ IRS And Executive Branch . None of them are defending the Constitution.
    All your talk of principals are well and good , when the rule of law and the constitution is the guide.
    We the people don’t have the rule of law enforced equally.

    I understand your viewpoint on most of what you e said. We can agree or disagree as to how he got the nomination, but there are a few things to note
    First, he did, in fact, say many times that COVID19 was “the China virus”, and was excoriated for it, and labeled a racist.
    The lockdowns and masks and the other actions you decry were “the science” led down the rabbit hole by the good Dr Fauci. The real damage has been done by Biden, his minions, and again, the good Dr Fauci.
    Finally, perhaps you could expand the actions Trump should have taken to “ end, decisively, the absolute war the Democrat-Socialist Party has been waging against American election integrity since November of 2000.” Just how would you implement that without calling out the troops and implementing a fascist state?
