    He met the qualifications so yes, he was qualified.

    And, like Cletus, I think history will remember Trump more kindly as time passes and the democrats get us in more trouble as a country.

    Obama stirred the pot with Russia. Trump tempered it a bit. Here's Biden, ready to go to war with Russia.

    Face it -- the democrats' agenda is a mess. They whipped their cult following into a frenzy over Trump's vulgarity. Yes, Trump is vulgar--not as vulgar as President Johnson was, but still vulgar. But, Trump wasn't a racist, and he attracted more blacks to the GOP than any other Republican in the recent past. Virtually nothing they say about his is--or was-accurate.

    No, I don't think he should run again, but he put a little oomph back in Republicans. Let's hope they can maintain that.

    It is interesting what people think qualifies an individual to run a country and be the president. Honestly, no one is qualified but some appear to have better qualifications than others. However, it seems more important to consider who that individual decides to place as their top advisors (the people who actually should be the top of the field for military/defense, healthcare, economy, science, climate, and so on).

    Only a "qualified" president will allow 100's of American citizens to be trapped behind enemy lines, who would destroy our energy independence, who would insult our allies and would allow the Chinese to spread its hegemony across the globe.

    Yes yes Richard, you know how to pick them.

    I think the opposite is actually true. Right now, about half the country continues to view January 6 through hyper-partisan, pro-Trump blinders. As time goes by, more and more people will recognize that Trump’s actions leading up to that day and on the day of the insurrection were the most egregious attack on American democracy by a sitting US president in history.

    Well, as our 47th President he will have had plenty of experience as the top performing president in my lifetime.

    No one considers Trump Enterprises to be a small business.

    Like it or not the government is a business. You have to understand how to make money and how to invest or spend money.

    Your customers are like the voters.

    You spend your time protecting your business from your enemies and using alliances

    As far as the Generals go; they prove their goal is job security by extending conflicts and not ending wars. Now their new battle is for social engineering.


    So when the Democrats think their heroes, like Obama who voted Present so he would not leave a legacy of votes or Biden who has screwed up everything he touches.

    Then I'm taking trump anytime. Even if he makes Democrats cry.
    Let's go Brandon !!!

    The only time I even think about Jan 6th is when I am laughing at the Karens that bring it up.

    You guys are brainwashed. Future generations will see Trump for what he really is, an amoral charlatan.
