It’s not very hard to understand why they keep going after Donald Trump. If only people would open up their eyes and cast aside their prejudices.

Trump was the proverbial “ugly duckling.” He didn’t belong. He was too radical. He didn’t fit in. But the average men and women in this country understood where he was coming from. They saw their jobs sent overseas. He roiled the waters and made the “in crowd” feel uneasy. They knew that their shenanigans were going to be exposed. He was an outsider. He didn’t need to be invited into their social circles. They had lost control.

He wasn’t going to go along to get along. He was going to bring about World War III, the pundits told us. Instead, he brought peace to the Middle East with his historic Abraham Accords.

Russia wasn’t involved in a war. China wasn’t causing havoc in the South China Sea and threatening Taiwan, and North Korea wasn’t firing missiles and threatening to test nuclear weapons again. This was infuriating the “military-industrial complex” that Dwight Eisenhower had warned us about — the same people who sent our men and women off to wars to be killed or maimed.

His southern border wall forced the migratory patterns to change, reducing human trafficking and fewer deaths among migrants. Look what’s happening now.

In the White House we now have the poster boy for term limits.
