About The Trump News
Donald Trump announced his 2024 candidacy last night at Mar-a-Lago in an underwhelming speech that lasted over an hour. Major publications covered the event and published countless headlines on the announcement while conservative news sites barely covered it at all. I’ve received many emails over recent months claiming I am anti-Trump despite having Eric Trump, Kellyanne Conway, Mike Pence, and other Trump surrogates on my radio show to support the President in 2020. While Trump would inevitably be implementing better policies than Joe Biden, the elections from 2018, 2020, 2021, & 2022 suggest the messenger is the problem, not the message. Take a moment and listen.
I shared this with all eight of my married children (total of 16 votes with spouses). Kids, these my thoughts about the future Republican ticket for president in 2024. As it stands right now, my dream ticket would be Mike Pence running for president with Ron DeSantis his vice president and Mike Pompeo either his secretary of defense, or Secretary of State.
Here are my reasons why: First, Mike Pence has White House experience. That is not his most important quality however. The most important quality is the fact that he’s a saved man and not ashamed to say so publicly, and very evidently, he is a humble man. He demonstrated his courage and boldness to stand on principles and the constitution rather than bend to the browbeating of former President Trump. I can’t over emphasize the importance of having someone in the White House like that.
Ron DeSantis is a good man as far as I can see, despite what Trump says he knows about him. He has shown he has leadership ability and can make good decisions for his state. My view is that he is young and gaining valuable experience at the state level. If he could mentor under a President Pence that would be very helpful for him in the future running for president. We most certainly need principled and wise Republicans in the White House! As it stands right now, I will not be voting for Trump under any circumstances, if for no other reason than that during his first run during the primaries he denigrated (meaning he sought to blacken the reputation of) too many good men and women in order to advance his own election to the White House. He has once again threatened to do so to Ron DeSantis. In other words, he has not changed. Many of us have been led to believe that President Trump produced such good policies that it was worth putting up with his obvious narcissism. In my view there are several others who can advance good policy without all the self-promotion. Final thought: He’s simply too old. I know he doesn’t look any older, and he is surely much better shape than our current president, but we need not only a clear mind, but principled leadership for the duration, meaning two four-year terms.
I moved into our new house this weekend and threw away my Trump Girl shirt. I am over Trump I voted for him twice but, I’m moving on. I really am.
