Recall back to June 16, 2015, when then iconic New York City businessman Donald J. Trump rode down the escalator at Trump Tower to announce he was running for President of the United States.
Not only did the crime-syndicate Leftists and their colluding propaganda media roll their eyes, but so did the entrenched elites in the Republican (Read: RINO) establishment.
This from frontpagemag.com.
More than rolling their eyes, many openly laughed at the prospect of businessman Trump defeating seasoned politicians such as Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, John Kasich, Scott Walker, Chris Christie, and Ted Cruz to win the Republican primary.
NOTE: Trump not only defeated them but the other ten Republican candidates in the field as well. Sixteen against one and Trump crushed them all.
Concerning that primary, one Republican strategist said:
Remember 2016: 16 of our best Republican candidates walked into a dark alley with Donald Trump and only one person emerged—and it was Trump.
And yet, if we do an internet search for “compilation video of people laughing at the idea of Trump becoming President”—keeping in mind far-Left Google typically buries the evidence—we will see example after example of pundits and politicians literally rolling their eyes and laughing at the prospect. All of them look petty, biased, foolish, ignorant, scared, and hate-filled almost a decade later.
Amazingly—but not the least bit surprisingly—many of those same pundits, politicians, and “Never-Trumpers” who were demonstrably proven to be ignorant haters by their embarrassingly wrong predictions regarding Trump’s chances in the Republican primary of 2016, doubled down in the general election. Once again, with eyes rolling and elitist condescending laughter, they “guaranteed” that Trump would lose to Hillary Clinton. Fortunately for our nation, the “deplorables” looked down upon by Mrs. Clinton proved those hate-filled liberal prognosticators wrong…again.
Anyone who has even a cursory understanding of the life and career of Donald Trump knows that it contains multiple instances where his goals, dreams, and aspirations were rebuffed by “experts” rolling their eyes. Experts who were proven wrong time and again by a young businessman who not only believed in himself but knew he was fundamentally correct.
Back in 1986, Judith Kranz published a fun novel titled: “I’ll Take Manhattan.” A year later it was turned into a highly successful miniseries starring Valerie Bertinelli. A miniseries in which by then, highly successful young businessman Trump fittingly had a cameo.
Why “fittingly?” Because a decade and a half before the novel and miniseries, then early twenty-something, Queens-residing Trump declared to himself: “I’ll Take Manhattan.” He meant to conquer and redefine the Manhattan skyline. Cue more rolling of the eyes by pompous real estate columnists, “experts,” local politicians, and business competitors.
Except, Trump did take Manhattan. Big time.
More than just taking it with his vision, toughness, and larger-than-life personality, many believe that Trump also “saved” Manhattan. New York City and Manhattan were falling further and further into disrepair and depression from the mid-70s until the early 80s. What started to turn it all to the better? Trump.
The iconic brand he established not only brought millions of tourists into the city but was copied by other builders anxious to have some of Trump’s success rub off on them. The flagship of the empire he built in Manhattan being Trump Tower.
Once again, when Trump first proposed building the gleaming residential and business skyscraper next to Tiffany’s on 5th Avenue, eyes rolled across the city.
They declared in unison:
No way, that this brash young man can get the proper architect, the permits, and the zoning approvals to build such an amazing structure. It can’t and it won’t be done.
Except…Trump got it done. More than that, Trump Tower not only came to symbolize a revitalized New York City and Manhattan but became the number one tourist attraction in the city for over twenty years. Literally millions of people from around the world came to visit Trump Tower to see its stunning lobby and six story waterfall. Why? Because Trump had made it world-famous.
What is truly noteworthy is that Trump had envisioned this world-famous skyscraper on that exact site on 5th Avenue while in his teens. He built it and much of his NYC empire while still in his 30s.
Then, he turned his eyes toward saving the country he loved. As with his first presidential run in 2016, countless “experts” and haters rolled their eyes at the prospect of Trump winning the Republican nomination and presidency in 2024. But of course, he won both.
Against all the false smears, against the faked ‘lawfare,’ against the corrupt media, against the entrenched elites, against two assassination attempts, and against all odds, Trump was reelected to become our 47th President. Amazing.
During his inaugural address to our nation and the world on January 20th, President Trump touched on the attacks upon him and his very life:
Over the past eight years, I have been tested and challenged more than any president in our 250-year history, and I’ve learned a lot along the way. The journey to reclaim our Republic has not been an easy one, that I can tell you. Those who wish to stop our cause have tried to take my freedom and indeed to take my life…
Thanks to divine providence or Trump’s own quick reactions, his life was spared as a bullet ripped into his ear in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13, 2024. A life that has challenged the norms and defied the “experts” and doubters for decades while rising to the top.
That said, here is a prediction from , the original author of this life story, regarding President Trump—one that the remaining delusional Trump-haters will immediately “roll their eyes” over:
When we once again have non-biased, honest historians back on our airwaves—keeping in mind that most of those you see today are deeply and unethically in the tank for the [communists/globalists] and the entrenched elites—Donald J. Trump will be recognized and celebrated as the ‘Greatest President in the history of our country.’ Period.
Final thoughts: As close as America had come to its very own demise, whether that would have been succumbing to communism, globalism, or simply tyranny, nothing short of a miracle was required to pull our beloved country and We the American People back from the edge of the precipice.
Many of us see the rise of Donald J. Trump as a God thing. Our once and future great nation was blessed with its very much needed miracle. And as I add these last few words to this wonderful story of our survival, my eyes are moist with tears of gratitude and joy.
Thank you, God, for sharing Donald J. Trump with America.
