And I know he started his presidency that way. But I think the constant lies told about him triggered his natural reaction to fight back, make it all about him and he lost that patriotic expression of sacrifice.
I remember when Geraldine Ferraro was on the VP ticket. After they lost, she did a Coke or Pepsi commercial, something like that. It’s been a long time but I remember reading an article somebody wrote about how terrible that was because the point of the commercial was a certain soft drink was better because it was different. I don’t know about that but I do remember thinking, and this wasn’t a phrase back then but, ‘too soon?’ The answer was yes, too soon. There should be sacrifice with public office.
I have a good friend of mine who’s a pastor and answered a call and move to another state with his family 20 years ago. He didn’t intend to stay there but the small community embraced him, needed him, used him, and that area thrived because of him even though he would’ve rather raised his family where they had more opportunity. But he sacrificed that.
There’s a lot of people who have sacrificed their lives because they were in the public office but not very many sacrificed their lives voluntarily. I think virtually all do it today for personal gain, but sometimes things don’t go as planned and they weren’t able to capitalize on their public persona for a long time. It helps to be a Democratic because you have the news and entertainment culture on your side. If Sarah Palin had a D by her name and did everything exactly the same, she’d be a hero.
Trump isn’t going back to Twitter because he’s hoping to drive people and advertisers to his social media platform and I suppose this NFT is the same thing.
Honestly, when Trump aligned himself with the LIV golf over the PGA tour, I was done with him.
Once again, I will say Trump did something no one else could’ve done which is beat Hillary and end her career along with Jeb Bush and for that he deserves a small monument on Mount Rushmore. Seriously, that was yuge….
