One year of 47

 One year ago, Donald J. Trump once again became our President. He was elected the 47th POTUS in such a dramatic fashion facing an opponent who was effectively a lightweight. I had quickly declared to my folks that he was going to clean Kamala Harris' clock.

I could see it happen because what did she have to offer? We could start with she's the anti-Trump. OK, and what else? Why should she be our President? In fact, why should she have been the Democrat nominee for President other than she's a woman of color?

She couldn't make the case. She couldn't even come up with a way to distinguish herself from the man she'd be replacing Joe Biden. 

Those who were down for the Harris/Walz ticket (oh yes that Walz who's political career appears to be over), I never really understood. I didn't trust either of them in the White House and they had very little to offer and Walz especially was quoted as saying he was shocked that they didn't win.

I heard this commentary recently how Americans wanted normalcy and they chose Trump/Vance. And they had to qualify it, many Americans chose Trump as normal. To be sure Trump is anything but, just look at some footage of him flipping the bird to a worker at a plant. He's a very unorthodox president to be sure, he definitely isn't behaving presidential right now.

So let's look at the four years of the Biden presidency. The economy wasn't great, the pandemic was really fading by the time he came around and they wanted more draconian measures such as masks and vaccine mandates. Crime in American cities was becoming a major issue, and let's not forget the mess that Trump is trying to solve which is the border and immigration. 

The second Trump administration began the way I likely expected it though with a far more solid basis than the first administration. Both terms are chaotic, however, I'll take that for safer cities. I'll also take that for a good economy.

What I have to figure out is the push for Greenland and how he's going to end that war in Ukraine. With  Trump is back in office I believe the world is in a better place.

The next question is what will year two bring. As Trump used to say a lot in his first term, I hope more winning. 2026 started off with some very volatile situations especially in Minnesota, here's hoping that  doesn't cause a change in Congressional control this year.

Also, I wanted to add this press conference with Donald Trump talk about the past year in office. He talks about the economy, his immigration background, even showed pics of these illegal aliens who are dangerous criminals that he wants out of this nation. [VIDEO]

I had intended for this to be mostly writing, however, it was important to share his remarks on his one-year mark as the 47th President. Also, this article shows how well he's been doing in the polls. Not great right now, independents are beginning to pull away from him. Though not this independent.
