By Being Calm, Moderate Trump Can Win Again
By: Conrad Black
Trumpism lives on! We will MAGA again! Trump 2024 will be reality. He won the last election and more forensic evidence is showing his suspicions to be correct. The democrats attempt to make America into a banana republic by arresting and charging a former President of the opposition party and locking him up has come to nothing. With all the extreme far left policies of the democrats on issues from voting to policing, to immigration, to energy independence, to putting America last they and on coming inflation and lack of personal and economic freedom, individual rights, and religious liberty, Americans will turn to a calm cool and collected more experienced Trump to return us to greatness. And now it’s looking more likely we are in for a rematch in 2024!

By Being Calm, Moderate Trump Can Win Again
The following article appears first and formost on thehill.com
The political scene is evolving so quickly that I presume to offer some advice to President Trump: He can now win in 2024 by being the potential candidate of calm and moderation.
The Democrats have become a Babel of contending extremists, suddenly and implausibly blaming the Republicans for defunding police forces and miraculously discovering the virtues of voter identification, after having denounced it for six months as the resurrection of Jim Crow.
The utter moral bankruptcy of many elected Democrats was captured in the Texas state legislators fleeing the state in private planes, excitedly taking selfies of themselves unmasked and grinning, to avoid being compelled by law to make a quorum in the state legislature and pass judgment on a voting reform measure.
Things are not altogether more settled on the other side, however. There are a number of prominent Republicans who are clearly qualified to be president, including Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida and former Vice President Mike Pence.
Yet Trump effortlessly prevailed over both of them and every other listed contender in a recent CPAC poll of potential candidates for president in 2024. The uncharacteristically incautious comments of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., that, in effect, the dreadful Trump specter had passed and they could all go back to being the good-natured losers of the Bush-McCain-Romney eras was effectively retracted within a few days. Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., has disgraced herself by joining the Trump-hate operation of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and, in Republican terms, is sinking without a ripple as a consequence.
Meanwhile, with the political Left’s Supreme Court-packing threat appearing to fade, the court’s justices have blown away the Democrats’ plan to assure their own permanent incumbency through unverifiable ballot-harvesting.
Thus far, the one great accomplishment of the Biden administration, apart from a rising stock market, has been the reduced decibel level of the Biden White House — something gratefully appreciated by many Americans.
The constant tumult of the Trump years grated on almost everyone, although Trump’s assailants often were equally, if not chiefly, responsible for the clangorous quality of those years.
But the increasing concern about the human wave of illegal immigration across the southern border, about sharply rising rates of violent crime and inflation, will soon attract the interest of even the most slavishly anti-Trump media, however tepidly. And Democrats already are showing their nervousness over those and other foreboding prospects.
The long-promised indictments of the former president have dwindled down to an absurd charge of evading taxes on corporate perks against the financial vice president of the Trump Organization — a man who was treated to an old time "perp walk" like the late organized-crime boss John Gotti, even though such charges are almost never treated as criminal cases.
While the Democrats’ pseudo-legal harassment of Trump — the Russia collusion fraud, the two spurious impeachments, the hysterical COVID-19 smears (replete with early charges that no vaccine developed under Trump’s auspices could be trusted), the accusations of him instigating an organized, heavily armed insurrection by his supporters at the Capitol on Jan. 6 — continues.
It has spiraled down to Speaker Pelosi's pathetic commission with Rep. Cheney as a sorceress’s apprentice. They will make a last political stand to try turning the hooliganism at the Capitol into something on the scale of Pearl Harbor or 9/11, as suggested by many in politics and the media.
The fact that the former president has come through all of this is a great personal victory and a true wonder of political staying power.
Now, as time passes, the public irritation with Trump’s bombastic behavior, of his being in the nation’s face day and night for four years, will recede and gradually be replaced by the spectacle of a comatose Biden administration, floundering and dissembling, fecklessly struggling with the various crises it has created.
There will be, soon enough, nostalgia for Trump instead — and if he is wise, he can become a winning figure of comparative Olympian serenity.

Trump can no more be calm than I can unbend a pretzel.
or be considered moderate as long as he stokes voter fraud conspiracies and encourages "forensic audits", one red state after
another, encouraging sedition and the overthrow of the current Administration.
No one?
This of course includes Rudy, Sydney Powell and Mike Lindell.
Trump's approval rating among voters has slipped below 40% which means his electoral prospects are less than zero. He couldn't get elected dogcatcher!
I travel a lot. Help me out with a link or two for this statement which almost certainly would have caused a global reaction.

Ludicrous articles like the seeded one should alarm and infuriate every single American of good will and any measure of true patriotism.
Yet they dont, and it is not impossible that Trump will be back running for president again with very little pushback from the national media, let alone the Republican Party.
This truly ridiculous article proposes Trump as a man of moderation. This is someone who cannot go the time it takes to boil a two minute egg without lying.
Conrad Black is a convicted felon who tells us Trump is being persecuted by the prosecutors. Black is completely corrupt himself, he has no standing to analyze the guilt or innocence of Trump. It would be like John Dillinger vouching for the innocence of Bonnie and Clyde.
When is America going to wake up?
Must make most Rs here cringe to see one of their fellows repeatedly make such a stupid claim and, in so doing, further a very negative stereotype about modern Rs.
meh, they're used to doubling down on the willful ignorance expressed within their fascist coalition.
What is most likely to happen with this irrational Trump support is that the D party will be able to win with whomever they nominate. With Trump as the R nominee (albeit unlikely), almost any D could win the presidency.
The R party has lost its way. It is so infected with Trumpism that it is blind to political realities.
It’s a bittersweet reality. Sweet in that he is their own worst enemy, bitter in that we all have to continue to bear his loathsome name being part of everyday conversation.
This pathetically ridiculous article is further proof that delusional Trumpists spend their time fantasizing about a Fourth Reich under their Dear Leader, Fuhrer Trump, while President Biden, the Democrats and tens of millions of real, hard working Americans go about the business of moving the country forward and creating a better life for everyone.
