CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY NOVEMBER 17, 2022
THE CONTENT OF FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP’S SPEECH TUESDAY NIGHT IN WHICH HE ANNOUNCED ANOTHER RUN FOR THE WHITE HOUSE WAS GOOD. WITH POSSIBLY A REFERENCE TO THE 2020 ELECTION IT HIT ALL THE RIGHT NOTES. HE REMINDED THOSE IN THE ORNATE HALL THAT UNDER HIS ADMINISTRATION, INFLATION WAS NOT A PROBLEM, GAS AND FOOD PRICES WERE MUCH LOWER AND THE WORLD MOSTLY RESPECTED AMERICA.
HE SAID NONE OF THAT IS TRUE NOW.
VERY FEW PEOPLE COME BACK AFTER LOSING A PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. IN MODERN TIMES ONLY RICHARD NIXON DID IT AND WE ALL KNOW HOW THAT TURNED OUT. NIXON AND TRUMP ARE A LOT ALIKE IN SOME RESPECTS. BOTH HAD A DESIRE TO AVENGE WHAT THE MEDIA AND ELITES THOUGHT ABOUT THEM. WITH NIXON IT LEAD TO WATERGATE AND DISASTER. WHERE WILL IT LEAD WITH TRUMP?
THERE ARE PLENTY OF OTHER POTENTIAL CANDIDATES WHO ARE YOUNGER AND WITHOUT THE STREAK OF REVENGE AND GRIEVANCE TRUMP DISPLAYS. THEY BELIEVE IN THE SAME THINGS HE BELIEVES, BUT DON’T HAVE HIS BAGGAGE. TWO YEARS IS FOREVER IN POLITICS AND IN LIFE. HISTORY COULD REPEAT ITSELF, BUT I’M DOUBTFUL AND THE RESULT COULD BE A DISASTER, NOT ONLY FOR REPUBLICANS BUT ALSO THE COUNTRY. I’M CAL THOMAS.
