I’m getting the impression you wouldn’t recognize the real truth if it smacked you between the eyes.
You definitely have your “truth” though. Your indoctrination was well done by your educators.

Back in 2015-2016 Trump and his shtick was suspect to say the least. Every normal person was compelled to support him -- especially once the Controllers ran Cruella de Ville against him. All bets were off and you HAD to back our savior (AND believe his "kitchen-sink" promise campaign - soon to be broken once the mask came off.)
There’s a tendency to gloss over (if not outright ignore) the years that led up to 2016.
1996 - Bob Dole
2000 - W Bush
2004 - W Bush
2008 - John McCain
2012 - Mitt Romney
2016 - Was shaping up to be yet another Bush (Jeb!)
The GOP wasn’t exactly tearing it up and offering a “true conservative” vision and path to excite and energize the base in all the years prior to Trump coming down the escalator.
If the GOP base had been happy and pleased with the direction of the country under Republican leadership, there’d have never been a practical chance or an opening for a Donald Trump.

Your disappointment will be somewhat lessened to think of them as they actually are: activist propagandists.

“My” Orange Trojan horse. I have been a DJT supporter but have often been critical of him. My post history is out there.
Your childlike reaction though making sure you get an “Orange” dig in there to boot helps to actually underscore my point.
You’re an extremist who doesn’t think, you just react.

The core group 100% is. Their entire existence is to defend the name of trump. Not all Trump voters are cultist.
The hard-core DJT can do no wrong types were a direct, extreme opposite reaction to those like yourself who take the baseline approach that there is nothing the man can do that’s right.
Predictably, extremists will always prompt the rise of an opposite extreme.
Neither extreme can be accused of using their God-given brains. They mainly react to the opposite extreme.

DJT has done many things I like, he’s done a few things I don’t, and I do get irritated that many of his appointments have been put on the shelf to collect dust by the Dems while the always feckless passive-aggressive establishment D.C. Pubs just sit there (like they do best).

So true.
You’ll get a few downvotes (similar statements of logic always has) but the downvoters can never follow up with explaining why this isn’t so.

This right here is why Trump will never be taken seriously. Isn’t it even remotely possible that the country said enough the first time around? Trump fatigue is real (you are already seeing it less than one year into term 2) but orange Ozymandius can’t believe he isn’t King Midas, Prince Charming, and Napoleon rolled into one person. Bad enough he is so insecure, but please don’t feed his nonsense.
Imagine going through life believing Joe Biden received 81 million votes in the most transparent election ever.
Bless your heart.

Profound time in world history when the Somali Revolutionary colonists told King George III “we are the captain now”.

Would dearly love to see some bad people finally (finally!) brought to account but as for right now it’s just more WWE-inspired rasslin’ talk.
Keeping fingers crossed by Christmas 2026, some major things will have actually happened to back the message.

re: Landry calls for federal government oversight of college football.
Posted by Great Plains Drifter on 12/25/25 at 11:06 am to LSUTANGERINE
One would think our federal government has many more serious and pertinent issues to address in this country than college football.
And I love college football, but c’mon.

Seems like once you hit the other side of 50, all years go by too quickly.
To the point of your OP though, DJT has accomplished many good things.
Here’s to continued good health for him and I hope he keeps the pedal to the metal.
