Patton and MacArthur were the quintessential World War II generals. They were renowned for their aggressive and bold leadership style. They played crucial roles in the North African, Italian, Battle of the Bulge, Philippine, Japanese, and Korean campaigns. The strategies and tactics they utilized were unmatched. West Point and other academies around the world continue to study them.
It was the right leadership at the right time.
The Germans regarded Patton as the best general the Allies put in the field. In spite of his success, his personality and his ego alienated peers and subordinates. His many remarks to the press were often headlined as inappropriate, offensive, and certainly politically incorrect.
If you asked MacArthur who the best general was in World War II, he would probably offer himself.
Trump admired MacArthur, Patton, and others because of their strong leadership, nationalism, strategic thinking, get-things-done attitude, outspoken nature, and unpredictability. At this time in our history, we need nothing less.
Don’t discount Trump being unpredictable. That is his most valuable trait. It drives our enemies crazy. It instills in them a strong sense of fear. We are dealing in geopolitics, especially with countries that want us gone. Even Scripture says, “The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom” (Proverbs 9:10). And the beginning of wisdom is fearing the United States for those who wish us ill. I am certain that some individuals will assert that I have equated Trump with God. Even Trump’s ego is not that big. God provides us with something that few people take advantage of: wisdom.
These last several decades, we have gone through a very tough period. America has faced Islamic attacks, violent protests, war, economic setbacks, cultural reversals, an unprecedented invasion of illegal immigrants, and racial issues, all of which are attributed to the nefarious and racist practices of what is often considered the most corrupt political organization in America: the Democrat Party.
The Democrat Party has spent decades and billions of dollars persuading millions of voters that America was irredeemable, that capitalism was failing, and that only they could save them. The situation is even more dire. The Left now thinks the Right is subhuman, not worthy of any consideration. Meanwhile, the Democrats consistently support drug dealers, illegal immigrants, and common criminals.
Almost all of these issues occurred because of political decisions designed only to advance a party, not our country. The formerly stable continent of Europe no longer serves as a good example; in fact, it is now worse due to their insistence that we are empowered to control climate change, that some freedoms need to be withdrawn, that global governance is the future, and that Western civilization is compatible with Islam. This is not the case, as dictated in the Quran. Islam would have to undergo a major change in its dogma and value system. Not likely.
Europe is on the verge of collapse. Europeans are looking around and finding Muslims everywhere. They don’t see the dangers ahead or the issues with non-assimilating migrants. Worse yet, these are migrants waiting to take over. It’s a place where Western Civilization was born and is now dying. The EU is forcing the issue of migrants on its members. EU member states must either accept asylum seekers (a label many consider bogus), provide financial assistance, or offer operational support and equipment. Hungary’s prime minister has said they will not take in any migrants or pay for others’ migrants.
As Europe dies, the entire continent of Latin America is undergoing a metamorphosis. They are turning Right, one by one, rejecting socialism and autocratic rule. Trump-like nationalist candidates are winning elections by large margins.
We have placed the strongest notice on narco-terrorists in our history. Energy and prescription drugs are now approaching reasonable prices. Globalists around the world have been informed that America will never give up its sovereignty. Liberals here have been notified that our military will not be used as a social lab experiment and that their climate change agenda is a bunch of crap.
The new Pope’s claim that Trump has not treated illegal immigrants with dignity has displeased many, especially in light of the hundreds of billions of dollars taxpayers have spent on their food, clothing, and shelter. Like every other country, we have laws and processes for dealing with immigrants and want them adhered to.
Some believe that immigration should come before national security and economic stability. Some would even emphasize that America is a nation of immigrants. This viewpoint was true during the 18th, 19th, and early 20th centuries. America is now a mature and powerful nation that is unwilling to allow unvetted migrants to enter. This is not a free-for-all. When my people came here in the late 19th century, they had to have either a means of support or relatives that could take them in. No one received housing, food, and clothing from the government. People came anyway because they had no limits put on them. They were free.
Americans demand law and order, not anarchy. The Biden years gave us chaos, disease, and a marked increase in crime and expenditure. We have thousands of freshly released criminals from foreign prisons and mental institutions roaming our streets, unqualified migrants driving 18-wheelers with illegal licenses, and migrants who complain about our free food.
After less than a year, our borders are now closed. The chaos has ceased. Criminal aliens are being rounded up.
Someday, long after Trump is gone, people will ask, “Where did he come from?” “How did he manage to do what no other president could do?”
The Left bitterly complains about Trump’s rhetoric and his sometimes offensive comments, and even his accomplishments, but these are people who will never be satisfied. We knew we wanted a president to fix what needed fixing and what Democrats had broken, and we didn’t give a damn about anyone’s hurt feelings.
In spite of all their faults, Patton and MacArthur were essential for our victory in World War II, as Trump is essential for our departure from this dark place.
Donald Trump IS the essential president.
