The thing about Donald Trump’s presidency that saddens me most is that he has less than four (or eight) years left in the White House. That’s it. There never will be another like him, certainly not in the near future. Possibly never.
It took an Obama to give us a Trump, just as it took a doddering, lost Biden, in slow motion, to give him back to us, just as it took a completely failed Jimmy Carter to give us a Reagan. That’s how it works. America will not elect such an unabashed, authentic leader from the right side of the aisle unless it has reached a level of such despair from the left side that the public realizes it must balance the extreme leftward tilt, or the entire national enterprise is over. Pack up the flag, the framed photo of Washington, the bust of Jackson, and a can of Coke and skidaddle to somewhere safe: Viktor Orban’s Hungary, maybe. That is Obama’s and Biden’s legacies: they both left Independents convinced there was no choice but Trump. Merely another Bush, McCain, or Romney would be too little, too late.

I love this guy. I love him. Even when he is dead wrong — and he is, a bit too often (as reflected each time he backs down a day or week after a boo-boo) — he is still the GOAT, the Greatest Of All Time. Realistically, Trump learned from his first term that he has no time to weigh and analyze and be sure he is making no mistakes. No time for safe cabinet picks like Rex Tillerson and Jeff Sessions, or taking advice from Paul Ryan. Four years fly by too quickly to lose even a day. And if he ultimately loses the House — if we do — he now has less than two years before the impeachments start and MAGA sinks. In any event, anything he does gets tied up by local Obama–Biden judges, mandating a one- or two-year thumb-twirling wait until the Supreme Court gets to each thing and reverses the Obama–Biden judges by a 5-4 or 6-3 vote. So he has to act fast, take some counsel, but accept that he will make what mistakes he will, and if he errs along the way, he can always reverse himself later.

The thing is, the stuff he does is so crazy — often great, the good kind of crazy — that there is kind of no precedent to know whether he is allowed to do it.
So he does crazy stuff that is beyond brilliant. For example, Biden let in 10 million Illegals. We all know that: the woke know it, their left-wing media and academia know it, the right wing know it. The only one whom we now understand, perhaps never knew it, was Biden himself, who entered from a basement and soon descended into a Twilight Zone. But — bottom line — 10 million got in. So Trump campaigns on a pledge to throw them out, and America — even all seven swing states’ populations — unite to give Trump that authority: yes, become our president and throw them out. Correspondingly, he ascends the Oval Office, issues the executive orders he promised his voters to issue, and then the Obama–Biden judges tie him up. Suddenly, unelected district judges become self-anointed autocrats and emperors who rule from their local courtrooms, which all of America must bow to.
What does Trump do? To the best of his ability, without defying the courts so brazenly that he borders on the autocratic, he throws out whomever he can anyway. But how to get rid of 10 million in four years — even without Obama–Biden judges in the way? How? Do the math: Four years, at 365 days each, an aggregate of 1,460. Add one more for the leap year. Ten Million divided by 1461 = 9,998.539… call it Ten Thousand deportations per day for four years. How in the world can that be done logistically, to deport 10,000 Illegals each and every day for four years? You gotta find them, catch them, book them, fingerprint and mugshot them, fit them for orange jump suits, put them in front of judges, get them into Ubers or Lyfts, and scoot them off to an airport, load them in planes. How do you do it to 10,000 Illegals a day?
Ultimately, you need to motivate a bunch of them to help out, to self-deport. But how? Why should they? Why not wait, hiding in the homes of Democrat judges, until Ocasio gets elected president with David Hogg as Veep? (RELATED: Trump’s Cash-for-Departure Plan: A New Approach to Immigration?)
You start motivating self-deportations by telling them that, if they follow the law and leave of their own accord, they will have clean records and then may apply to come back legally. But, c’mon. “Illegal” does not mean “stupid.” They know they will never get back in. So they are not motivated that way. OK, you offer them $1,000 a head to leave on their own. But, again, they are smart. This is not the $1,000 of the days of Ben Cartwright and Bonanza in Virginia City. Today, $1,000 buys what? A dozen eggs? So, how to get them out in mega numbers, with mass self-deporting? How to motivate them en masse? (RELATED: Bribing Illegals to Self-Deport Might Be the Only Real Solution Available to Trump)
Only a Trump would come up with the idea of “Let’s publicize that anyone who waits for us to do the deporting will end up in an El Salvador lock-up with thousands of shaved mongrels with tattoos on their faces that say ‘I kill you if you can read this tattoo.’” Or they will be drop-shipped to Libya, where they will be sold as slaves to Arab Muslims throughout Araby as Libyans have been doing since time immemorial, lost forever in Middle Eastern slavery in some harem or sheikhdom, unable ever to find a way out or be found again. Or, if lucky, just to Alcatraz. Suddenly, self-deporting makes sense, with or without the dozen eggs.
These are great Trump Days. Everyone sensible knew where he was going with those tariffs. When the market collapsed on “Liberation Day,” the April 2 day when he imposed tariffs of a Billion Percent per country, and he had the chart, left over from Butler, Pennsylvania, so he could write all his tariffs on the other side, every experienced financial advisor and investment professional knew not to sell amid the market crash. Let the fools who listen to CBS, NBC, ABC, and MSNBC panic and sell at major losses. “Trump is causing a depression!” The pros knew to wait two weeks, and the market would be right back in bull territory because that is Trump 101: make everyone around you crazy, set new nightmare expectations, then return to normal but with your negotiating opponent aware you are crazy and, if he could do it once, he could do it again, so suddenly they all thank Trump for increasing all their tariffs by “only” 10 percent. With anyone else, the process would have started as a 10 percent tariff, and everyone would be protesting it to this day. Instead, they thank him for it.
He is just crazy enough. Can you imagine Putin dealing with Biden? With the Cackling Fool who followed? Instead, even Putin has to be careful with Trump.
His latest antic was so beautiful. We all remember the Oval Office “disaster” with Zelenskyy. The thing is, most people only know the four-minute clip they saw on the news, with Vance and Trump picking on poor Volodymyr. However, if you actually take the time to watch the full 49 minutes, you see a very different picture. Trump started off very nicely, a warm, sweet darling. Welcomed him enthusiastically. Then Zelenskyy broke protocol. So Vance jumped in because, really, Zelenskyy put Trump on the spot, unexpectedly from outta left field, in Trump’s own home office. Therefore, Vance did what Trump could not quite do. In the end, Zelenskyy gets thrown out (equivalent to a Billion Percent tariff). A few weeks later, they make nice in Europe (equivalent to dropping the tariffs back to where they were). Trump walks away with the precious earth minerals he wanted, which protects Ukraine from Putin, because now America has a financial stake in a non-Putin Kyiv.

Moreover, it is now evident that the wild Zelenskyy event placed a bug in Trump’s crazy head that opened a door for him to do something amazing when the head of racist, anti-white, genocidal South Africa came to visit. (RELATED: South African President Ramaphosa to the White House)
Circumstances brought the president of South Africa to the Oval Office. South Africa is a despicable regime, so racist and genocidal against their targeted minority — white farmers, in particular — that, in this crazy upside-down world, they were the perfect goons to bring a case to the International “Court of Justice” accusing Israel of racism and genocide. The pot calling the pan — well, you finish the expression. So the same racist, genocidal South Africa that projected its own sins onto Israel now came to America. And Trump ambushed the guy. A sight to behold. (RELATED: South Africa’s Refugees Expose the Left)
In the midst of their meeting in front of world media, Trump pulled out a stack of photocopied news articles, each reporting another case of a white South African farmer and family slaughtered and butchered by South African blacks aiming to steal and occupy their land. Get it? Genocidal South Africans occupying other people’s lands — those are the ones accusing Israel of genocide and occupation. Predictably, the South African leader said he had never heard of any of this stuff. News to him. Racism against whites? Seizing white farmers’ lands? Who? Us? (RELATED: A Bonfire of the Vanities at the White House)
So Trump ambushed him with an actual video presentation — “Let’s turn down the lights, please” — and he literally screened the film of South African racist, murderous, genocidal speeches, threats of murdering white farmers, and mad, raging South African mobs chanting death to white farmers. As Trump and the media kept watching, the South African president stopped watching and looked away, squirming. (RELATED: The Plight of the Afrikaners Is a Clarifying Moment for Western Civilization)
It was a beautiful moment. Never would have happened with Bush, McCain, or Romney. Not even with Reagan. Only maniacal Trump. Only irrepressible, crazy Trump would call out the head of South Africa in the Oval Office with a film blaring in his face showing the genocide against white farmers over which that hypocrite knowingly presides.
