Donald Trump, The People’s President

On Saturday night, President Donald Trump strode into the Kaseya Center in Miami to a standing ovation from the raucous crowd attending the UFC 314 event. It was another triumphant Trump appearance at a sporting event. Since his election, he has attended the Super Bowl, the Daytona 500, and a professional golf tournament.

President Trump likes sports, and he likes interacting with regular people. His signature rallies are always well-attended and festive events, with Trump mixing it up with enthusiastic supporters.

Trump has a special bond with the American people, which makes him unique among recent Presidents. Unlike many elected officials, President Trump prefers to be with everyday Americans, not elitists.

The President’s desire to help average hard-working Americans is the reason he is pushing for no taxes on tips, overtime, or social security. At a September 12, 2024, rally, the President said, “The people who work overtime are among the hardest working citizens in our country, and for too long, no one in Washington has been looking out for them.”

Of course, the President is right. In Washington D.C., politicians respond to pressure from well-heeled lobbyists or special interests and dismiss the interests of average Americans. Thankfully, President Trump is different.

President Trump also has a heart for justice, an empathetic attitude toward people in distress. Consequently, in his second inaugural address, he said, “My proudest legacy will be that of a peacemaker and unifier.” Thus, he is trying to bring peace to Ukraine and Gaza, and wants the wars, suffering, and bloodshed to end.

On Saturday, his administration held direct talks with Iran, right after meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Last week, President Trump met with Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu, while his negotiators have even met with the terrorist group Hamas, which is holding 59 hostages, including dozens of dead Israelis.

President Trump has enjoyed tremendous success in bringing home American hostages. Since his inauguration, 26 Americans have been released from captivity. Last week, another hostage, Russian American ballerina Ksenia Karelina, was released. Upon her arrival she said,  “Mr. Trump, I’m so, so grateful for you bringing me home. I never felt more blessed to be American.”

These wonderful stories have happened for one reason: President Trump is in the White House. Of course, this has been an extremely difficult journey for President Trump. He has endured ten years of media attacks, lawfare, investigations, impeachments, an FBI raid of his home, a mug shot, a patently biased conviction, and two attempted assassinations.

The latest individual to threaten the President was Shawn Monper of Butler, Pennsylvania. He was arrested by law enforcement authorities on Wednesday and charged with making threats to assault and murder the President.

These threats are not surprising as a recent survey by the Network Contagion Research Institute indicated that 48% of “left-leaning” respondents felt it was “somewhat justified” to “murder” President Trump.

President Trump has endured this abuse because he genuinely cares about the American people and realized the damage his predecessor did to our country. At the end of President Joe Biden’s four-horrific-year term, America was on the verge of financial ruin, with an open border, a declining military, and a world at war.

President Trump and his administration are working tirelessly to fix the multitude of problems left by Joe Biden, the worst President in American history. None of this will be easy or quick. It will take a determined effort for the remainder of his term.

He is also offering accessibility and openness, a refreshing change from the previous administration. He consistently offers the media opportunities to ask questions at the Oval Office or Air Force One, among other places.

Along with transforming the White House operations and interactions with the media, President Trump has completely remade the Republican Party. Historically, the GOP was the political party for country clubs and Wall Street, known for elitism and snobbery. Average Americans felt unwelcome in the Republican Party.

Fortunately, the old Republican Party is gone forever, thanks to Donald Trump. He has transformed the GOP into a party that represents working-class Americans.

Thank goodness, the Republican Party is no longer represented by blue bloods like George Bush and Mitt Romney. According to CNN political analyst Harry Enten, “within the last decade…since the beginning of the Donald Trump administration…among the working class…Republicans have overwhelmingly gained on this all-important question of which party cares more for people like yourself.”

Because of his policies, his personality, and his communication ability, President Trump has reinvigorated a political party that was losing elections and popularity. He turned the GOP into the majority party today with control of the White House and Congress.

The main reason for this success is President Trump’s immense ability to connect with average Americans. He is truly the People’s President. He is looking out for the interests of the working class and these voters, long ignored, know that they finally have a champion in the White House.
