Trump’s Twitter Trumps Tantrums: Why Some Critics Need a Reality Check

It’s August 28, do you know who your president is?

A grand jury in Washington, DC has just returned a superseding indictment against President Trump with four charges, accusing him of attempting to “subvert the election.” The closer President Trump comes to winning the election, the more extreme the Democrats and the new world order folks are willing to go to take any measure to keep him from being President again.

I will get back to that, but first, let’s discuss what it means to be presidential.  

If you didn’t know, President Trump has been back on Twitter/X for a few weeks now. 

It’s the same platform that helped propel his messages to the public during the 2016 election and his first term.

One of the only people who avoided censorship from the old Twitter was President Trump. They didn’t dare to silence him.

Until January 6 that is. Then they yanked him off Twitter, and they were supported in that censorship by the incoming Biden-Harris regime.
 
Now, Elon Musk is in charge, so Trump is back! And that’s great news for our political discourse in America. 

Except, that is, for too many American politicians and regular voters alike who still promote themselves as paragons of virtue and purveyors of truth.

You know the type. They’re the ones who say they just can’t accept the tone and tenor of Trump’s comments. 

You may have a few of these people in your own family!

They’re offended! They’re worried! They’re full of themselves!  

Policy has never been a strong suit for these morally preening show-offs. 

They’ve never actually been able to note which actual Trump policies they object to or why. Even if they did, the Kamala Harris campaign is now deciding that it likes Trump’s policies! 

You already know about how she stole Trump’s plan for “No taxes on tips.” 

Now, she’s even promising to build a border wall!

Of course, that’s not what she said just a few years ago. She used to say that supporting a wall was irresponsible!

Now, her campaign says she will build a wall! It’s incredible, but true! This is what happens when you have no ideas of your own.

But now you can see the strategy connected to this.
 
First, Democrats are betting there are enough ill-informed voters who will think Kamala came up with these ideas herself.

Second, they’re trying to pivot the election focus back on Trump’s personality.

They’re appealing to those moral narcissists who think it’s appropriate at this crucial time to nitpick Trump’s insulting nicknames and social media posts. 

SPOILER ALERT: Trump’s X posts and all his taunting never killed anyone.

But the Democrats’ Middle East policy, border policy, economic policy, and their attacks on the First Amendment and our democracy have a massive body count.

That’s why RFK Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard made the dramatic decision to flee the Democratic party and back Donald Trump for president.
They’re interested in real issues like war, our freedoms, and our health.

These are serious people who are doing the opposite of acting arrogantly. They put their country, not party, first.

They’re letting Trump take the lead and are assuming supporting roles. RFK says he and Trump had a discussion where he learned that they aligned on several key issues and agreed that they can disagree strongly on others as long as they work together for the good of the country.

 Did that sound like some kind of moral narcissist?

RFK Jr. sounds like someone with the humility to end his own campaign while still standing up for what he believes in.
He’s being an adult.

Compare RFK Jr. and the vital issues he cares about to the selfish and arrogant people who insist on trying to make this election about mean words Trump writes and says. 

Let’s put it another way, so everyone really understands the absurdity of letting your sensitivities about Donald Trump’s social media posts become your biggest issue. 

Imagine your house is on fire and members of your family are inside.

Would you refuse to let the firefighters come in to stop that fire just because they have some mud on their boots? 

Of course not, but that’s exactly what these “Never-Trumper” folks want you to do.
 
The whole world is on fire, and these people know it! 

These people were never really trying to do anything more than draw attention to and enrich themselves. 

Just look at people like Former Senator Ben Sasse. 
 
He’s the Never-Trumper Republican who left the Senate because politics was supposedly too dirty for him. 

Just before he stepped down, people like Dan Bongino really had Sasse’s number. He explained that these Never-Trumpers are foolish and make themselves look dumber as they try and make themselves look smarter. And they’re smart enough to make things happen but too stupid to see the harm it does.

Well, Sasse has just stepped down as the University of Florida’s president.

He did some good things there, including making sure pro-Palestinian protesters never got a foothold on campus. 

But Mister “High Minded Ethics” Ben Sasse has just been exposed for giving his friends high-paying, no-show jobs at the university.

And Sasse is also getting a massive golden parachute exit package! 

It’ll be $1 million a year until 2028!

There are similar stories about other supposedly high moral ground Trump bashers. 

You get the point. “Holier than thou” types are never to be trusted. 

But in a world where our literal safety is at stake, it’s the worst time to consider “polite” ceremony when choosing which candidate to vote for. 

So let me wrap this up with a blunt message for blunt times:

Everyone who thinks their definition of being polite and well-mannered is more important than the safety of the free world, go pound sand.

Stick that in your Emily Post.
