I miss Trump 2015/2016. He had so much moxy. He was also a lot more tempered back then. He knew when to attack but also when to sit back and let his enemies make their own mistakes.
Trump 2016 was a novel experience where he went after the establishment and focused on real issues like draining the swamp and stopping illegal immigration.
It has been 6 years now and the swamp is stronger than ever and the border is open.
He can't say that he achieved his main goals.
He has a record now and it is not a perfect record by any means.
The Trump 2024 campaign is sadly nothing more than a bitter old man who thinks he is entitled to be President again and he is trying to recapture lightning in a bottle without realizing the conditions of 2016 don't exist anymore.
Trump's shtick has gotten unbearable. He attacks DeSantis more than the left.
We are in 2023 and what we need now from the nominee is restoring sanity, competent personnel hiring and being focused on getting key policies enacted.
Three things that are not Trump's strengths.
Trump is focused now on attacking his potential rival for the nomination and still complaining about the 2020 election.
We need to look to winning the future not impotently trying to undo the 2020 election.
Agreed. I guess most people would get jaded spending 4 years in the DC Swamp and surrounded by backstabbing traitors that Trump had to endure from his own party. I wonder if age is also a factor. Maybe he is just too old and doesn't have the patience and guile he had back in 2016. If DeSantis does manage to become a clear front runner in 2024 I hope Trump will give him his support.
What Trump does in 2024 if he loses the nomination will show us if he ever really cared about the people and country.
If he is not able to put his own ego aside for the good of the country and get behind the winner of the primary then he never was a true patriot at all.
