They laughed at him the first time.

When Donald Trump came down the escalator of Trump Tower nine years ago, the commentariat thought is was all a big joke. Or at best, a publicity stunt for his world-spanning commercial empire.

It wasn’t.

Despite having to run against more than a dozen Republican primary contenders, and then the female half of the Clinton dynasty, he crushed them all. And on Tuesday night, he did it again.

Not only did the 45th President boggle the pollsters to defeat the incumbent Democrat Vice President and blast through the requisite 270 votes in the Electoral College, the brash real estate mogul and reality TV star crushed Biden’s diversity hire in the popular vote too. By more than 4,000,000 votes! And it was utterly delicious to be with my former Boss Tuesday night at the MAGA HQ that is Mar-a-Lago to watch the results come in, along with the likes of America First stars like Elon Musk and Dana White.

So how did the man the “elite” wrote off twice pull it off again, against all the odds? What’s the secret sauce to his double-header of victories? Easy: Donald Trump.

People can remember the four years of the first Trump Administration. They remember gas at $1.90, not $3.00, or even $6.00. They remember the President unleashing energy exploration, including fracking on Federal lands, which led to us having so much energy we became an exporter of the “black gold” for the first time in history, beholden no more to the cartels of OPEC or Communist regimes like Venezuela.

And of course, oil and gas are the lifeblood of the economy, which meant that, along with record deregulation, the monkey of government was ripped off the back of small business owners, entrepreneurs, and common or garden taxpayers. Subsequently, President Trump would preside over the biggest economy the world had ever seen, and we all lived in an America with the lowest unemployment figures for women since the 60s, and the lowest for minorities since record-keeping began!

Internationally, with a man who loves America and her armed services at the helm as Commander-in-Chief, the world was a safer place. For four years, there were no new wars. Putin didn’t invade anyone, Chinese warships weren’t harassing anyone in international waters, and innocent Jewish men, women, and children weren’t being slaughtered by Hamas Jihadis. We had to wait for the senile old geezer and the California DEI hire for that to happen.

If the above isn’t enough, then the border invasion could explain Tuesday in and of itself. Biden made Kamala Harris his “Border Czar,” and as such, she is responsible for a dismantling of our national sovereignty that makes the UK’s immigration woes seem petty.

At least 10 millions illegals were allowed into our nation in the four years, with the real number likely double that. And thousands and thousands of them were murderers and sundry dangerous criminals. Just ask the family of Rachel Morin, the Maryland mother of 5 slaughtered by an illegal. Or Laken Riley’s loved ones, who will never see their precious 22-year old daughter marry or gift them grandchildren after another illegal raped and strangled her and dumped her in a ditch. Or the mother of the beautiful 12-year old Jocelyn Nungaray whose naked body was found, wrists and ankles bound under a bush less than two miles from her home, having been raped and killed by two Venezuelan illegals welcomed into our country by Czar Kamala.

Lastly, President Trump likely won a second time because he was persecuted for eight years straight, his home raided by the FBI, charged with fictional crimes adding up to a potential 700 years in prison. And Democrats tried to murder him. Twice. People looked at that and said: “If the Establishment hates this guy so much, he must be a good guy.” And I’m sure millions were pushed over the edge because Biden and Harris et al smeared them as “Garbage,” “Fascists,” and “White Supremacists” because they dared not to support the anointed Democrat. Black men and Hispanic voters probably didn’t like being called Nazis.

The reasons for Tuesday night are legion. But the most important one is Donald J. Trump, a man who clearly loves his country and was willing to even take a bullet to save it.
