I thought that when God-Emperor Trump won reelection, I’d greet the news with all sorts of loud triumphalism, glee and savage invective directed at those who attempted to harass / persecute / jail / assassinate him.
Instead, when I woke up yesterday morning, I read the news about his thumping victory — way beyond the possibility of fraud, which had been what I so feared for so long — and rather than all those feelings, I was simply relieved. Thoughtful, almost.
And yes, I want as much as anyone for Trump to set about the various offenders (and the Deep State in general) with a chainsaw.
But I watched his acceptance speech, and none of the above was in evidence. Instead, Trump appeared almost subdued, and in wonder of the miracle of his reelection. (His new VP wasn’t — LOL) In a way, I felt almost the same as Trump — just relieved that it was all over, and he could start to accomplish the unbelievable set of tasks that need doing if we are to rescue this nation from its Democratic-Socialist malaise of the past four years.
I mean, just think about it: ending illegal immigration, creating the groundwork of economic recovery and rebuilding the military (in every sense). Let’s not even talk about foreign policy — fucking hell, what a nightmare that’s going to be: Israel/Iran, Russia/Ukraine, China/Taiwan — a veritable Gordian knot, all created by the feckless Biden (or to be more accurate, his handlers, i.e. the Obamas and the Clintons). (We can talk about giving that little Socialist tit BritPM Starmer a gonad-kicking later, because compared to the latter issues, he’s small potatoes, ditto that Canucki shithead Castreaux.)
And then there’s the issue of going after the people who attempted to subvert his candidacy by unceasing lawfare — that, and the concomitant Deep Swamp Draining alone would tax any man, let alone this magnificent senior citizen. Hell, I’m over a decade younger than Trump, and just listing his to-do list exhausts me; and he has to carry it all out and make it happen.
Let’s just hope Trump can enlist the proper people to help him: Mike Pompeo as SecState, perhaps, Elon Musk for “government efficiency” har har, and dare I suggest Gen. Erik Kurilla as SecDef (we need a fighting soldier in that job, unless Erik’s better suited to JCS, I dunno).
And let’s be honest, Trump’s gonna need Congress to help him. I have no problem with Speaker Mike Johnson, who has often shown the Right Stuff, but that fucking old bastard Mitch McConnell in the Senate? I have no patience to put up with him, the prevaricating old roadblock.
What everyone else on that side of the aisle needs to know is that Trump has received a strong mandate from The People to get the thing fixed. And gawd help those Republicans who get in his way, because we all know that the Commies are going to go batshit on him. So now is the time for support, not obstruction from his own party. (And while I’m there, all those NeverTrump RINO assholes need a good thrashing, the fucking turncoats.)
Go get ’em, Mr. President-elect. I can’t wait to see your Cabinet — and your list of potential Supreme Court nominees, while we’re there.
See what I mean about a big job? It’s endless.
