George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and FDR did some pretty amazing things when they led the country. But their achievements don’t hold a candle to America’s greatest president, Donald J. Trump, a one-term head of state who was robbed of a second term by mail-in ballot voter fraud in the swing states and faithless electors who voted for the candidate who won their state’s popular vote.
What great things did Trump do in his four years as leader of the free world? In a nutshell, all that only a stable genius and consummate dealmaker could do. For example, he pulled the US out of the Paris Climate Agreement because he knew global warming is not caused by human beings but is rather the work of the devil and Democrats who stoke the fires in hell with unborn QAnon babies snatched from nobody knows where thanks to Roe v Wade. Then he killed the Iran Nuclear Deal, which Barack Obama engineered, because he knew the Kenyan-born, Muslim Obama was trying to help his fellow Muslims get money so they could haj their way into becoming the most popular autocracy in the Middle East.
On the domestic front, though he didn’t deliver on his wall, or better and cheaper health care for all, or a national infrastructure program, he was able to convince his base that Nancy Pelosi and the radical left are the reason for why nothing in Washington ever gets done. He also steered the nation with assurance and ease during the Covid-19 pandemic, leading our country to have the largest number of coronavirus cases in the world because we are, after all, the number one and largest nation in the world.
Trump was America’s tell-it-like-it-is president, not pulling his punches when something nasty and essential had to be said. He mocked the appearance of women, attacked John McCain’s heroic Vietnam service, heaped scorn on the Muslim parents of a US serviceman killed in Afghanistan, and insisted for years that President Obama was from Africa. No other president has matched Trump’s sincere and total ridicule of courageous Americans and America’s womenfolk. Some might call Trump’s candor daring and brave. I call it refreshing.
Trump arranged to contract Covid so he could make a speedy recovery and show his fellow citizens that it takes more than an allegedly deadly virus to kill a red-blooded, confabulating American male. Trump turned the White House into a super-spreader convention that kept going—his chief of staff, press secretary, more than 130 secret service agents, and dozens of White House employees came down with Covid-19. It was a textbook example of herd immunity in action.
As for the hitherto mentioned confabulating, at 25,000 lies and mistruths Trump is in a league of his own compared to the tepid deceptions of every other American president. The Trump administration invented the term “alternative facts” and, as befits an organization that could devise such a creative label, they were masters at it.
Our nation’s “Tweeter in Chief” knew that many Americans do not like to think critically or deeply about anything because who would. So he used Twitter to inform the citizenry of the simple and easy things they would need to know, like: “Sorry all haters and losers, but my IQ is one of the highest—and you know it. Please don’t feel so stupid or insecure, it’s not your fault.” “If the morons who killed all of those people at Charlie Hebdo would have waited the magazine would have folded—no money, no success!” “Covefe.”
Finally, Trump said he was the best thing for black people since Abraham Lincoln. They took him at his word and huge turnouts of black voters in Georgia and Pennsylvania turned a Trump victory into a defeat. These voters sensed that, as Trump had already done tremendous things for black people as president, he could do even more for them as a private citizen. And so I am sure he will, a soon to be ranked best American chief of state who saw good people on both sides, bad people on one side, and the best people on his side.
