In order to win the 2024 election – and avoid multiple criminal convictions – Donald Trump needed American voters to forget about his failed 2017-2021 reign & ruin. He succeeded. Below are some reminders of what people said then.
1]. “Focus is on Trump, immigration, health care” [Mary Claire Jalonik; Assoc. Press; 11/7/18]: “Nearly two-thirds of voters said Trump was a reason for their vote…Nearly four in 10 voters said they cast their ballots to express opposition to the president, while a quarter said they voted to express support for Trump..”
“A majority of voters overall said the country is headed in the wrong direction..”…..
“About 6 in 10 voters said it should be the responsibility of the federal government to make sure that all Americans have health care coverage.”……
“The survey found that 44% of voters approve of Trump’s job performance…largely consistent with recent polling…only about a third said Trump has the right temperament to serve as president. Around the same see him as honest and trustworthy.” [Note: re-read this: America headed in wrong direction; Trump not honest & trustworthy]
2] “69% stressed about nation’s future” [Isaac Stanley-Becker; Washington Post; 11/1/18]: “That marks a relatively steep increase from the share of people, 63%, who felt this way last year.”….
“..concern about the state of the country cut across party lines. “A majority of Democrats, Republicans and Independents see it that way,” Evans said. “People don’t believe the current political environment is getting better and may in fact be getting worse.
“He said unpredictability and uncertainty magnify stress. “We have a leader who is not predictable and who does create a certain amount of uncertainty and stress,” he said.” [Note: do research on Trump’s mental health; on what psychologists said; about how Trump failed leadership tests]
3]. “CEOs tell recent survey they apologize for Trump’s actions” [Jena McGregor; Washington Post; 12/18/18]: “Donald Trump may have entered the White House with a background in business, but a new survey of business leaders shows little praise for the president from his fellow executives.”……..
“..a majority..were critical of the president on his leadership of national security, his tactics with allies and his administration’s diplomatic communications….a noticeable shift..to more disappointment on..the overall divisive tone of the administration.”….
“..roughly three-quarters of business leaders disagreed with a statement that Trump was effectively leading U.S. national security. 87%..agreed that President Trump’s negotiating style had cost the country the trust of allies, and 75% said they often had to apologize to international partners for “embarrassing diplomatic messages” when traveling abroad for business.” *****[NOTE: read this again!!!!!! What is happening NOW, in 2025? – the EXACT same thing]
4]. “In Two Years, Norms Vanish” [Jonathan Lemire; Assoc. Press; 12/28/18]: “…Trump has rewritten the rules of the presidency and the norms of the nation’s capital, casting aside codes of conduct and traditions that have been held for generations.
“In Trump’s Washington. facts are less relevant. Insults and highly personal attacks are increasingly employed by members of both parties.”…
“He’s dynamited the institution of the presidency,” said Douglas Brinkley, presidential historian at Rice University. “He doesn’t see himself as being part of a long litany of presidents who will hand a baton to a successor. Instead, he uses the presidency as an extension of his own personality>’…
“..Brinkley predicts “no future president will model themselves on him.” [read the full article – more coming!]

SO – here we are in 2025, under the thumb [or is it the fist] of ‘PROJECT 2025″. and various billionaires supporting THE. DESTRUCTION OF. AMERICAN. DEMOCRACY – some of which occurred in Trump I. Already, in early March, 2025 – Americans are awakening to what “government efficiency” REALLY. MEANS. It’s too early, but Americans are beginning to see WHO. the REAL. WINNERS will be in an America created by Elon Musk and “true believers” imposing PROJECT. 2025″ on them. Much of this could already be seen by the 2020 election – which is why Trump lost by 7 million votes. And – as will be shown in coming posts – by 2018.
*** “All these years of Republican rule have had a profoundly negative impact on the federal system, literally destroying many of the government’s operations.” [John W. Dean: “Broken Government…How Republican Rule Destroyed The Legislative, Executive, Judicial Branches”]. !!!***!!! NOTE: this was written in 2007!!!!! written in 2007!!!!!!!!*****
