The Trump Train has been fueled by inevitability as it barrels towards the Republican nomination for a while now. It has only picked up steam since Trump’s frozen Iowa cakewalk on Monday night. As frequent readers here know, I haven’t always been thrilled about Trump being the 2024 nominee, despite having voted for him with great enthusiasm in the recent past.
Now that we’re here, all I can do is lean in and hope for the least-worst best.
I’ve got a real future as an ambiguous motivational speaker.
Conservatives shouldn’t worship politicians. Unfortunately, that’s become a problem in the Trump era. His hordes of Truth Social fanboys go to bed every night wearing MAGA jam-jams and hugging Trump pillows. That can be rather off-putting to the people who want to vote for him but aren’t committed to getting a Trump tramp stamp if he becomes POTUS 47.
Rather than fret about being trapped at an awkward barbecue with those dudes, I like to think about those who really, really don’t like Trump instead. He’s much easier to embrace as the eventual candidate when you take a look at the people whose agita meters get fried at the mere thought of Trump being on the ballot again.
There are a couple of stories this week about Trump’s ability to be the biggest monster ever under the beds of leftists the world over.
The first is about the anti-freedom New World Order freakshow that masquerades as the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland every year, which Athena wrote about for us:
This year at Davos — where the globalist elite gathers to bask in its own superiority, indulge in the ultimate luxuries of privilege, and make plans for the rest of us — there’s a big, orange poop in their punchbowl. And in their trembling apprehension of what President Trump’s second term would mean for their gilded lifestyles, the world’s ruling class is being remarkably candid.
In a Friday commentary, Reuters’s Peter Thal Larsen asserts that “the spectre of a second Trump administration will loom over many of the panels, bilateral discussions and drinks parties during the week.” He points out that “Trump’s return could revive tensions with the European Union,” which is true, before positing this howler: “undermining the Biden administration’s efforts to lead allies in taking a tougher stance towards China, the world’s second largest economy.”
Biden is tough on China in the same way that I’m a sought-after prospect to play power forward in the NBA — it’s not a thing that ever existed, or ever will exist. As my good friend Stephen Green is fond of saying: “Joe Biden is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Chinese Communist Party.” When Biden writes out “Xi Jinping” in longhand, he dots the i’s with hearts.
Davos is a gathering of wealthy tyrants who think that the “have nots” in the world have too much. Thanks to capitalism or inheritance, they got theirs and they want to make sure that the pie gets and remains very fixed. A bigger collection of people who should be smarter can’t be found anywhere. These pinheads think that the world’s ugliest trophy wife — John Kerry — is relevant.
