Want a Tough Guy to be President?

So, now we have exactly five days until we find out whether Trump is going back to the Oval Office or going to jail, which is really what this Presidential campaign is all about.

But for those of you who have been concerned by the alt-right narrative about how Trump will receive what is called a ‘secret vote’ from Democrat(ic) voters who don’t want their family or friends to know that they are switching from blue to red this time around, I actually believe there is a so-called ‘secret vote’ out there, but it happens to be women married or connected to pro-Trump men who will vote the other way.

Why do I say that? Because Trump has created a public persona which is based entirely on the image of himself as a big, tough guy. I just was driving around this morning, and I happened to pass a house where someone had hung a pro-Trump banner between two trees in the front yard and it read, ‘Peace through Strength — Trump 2024.’

Now this is a guy who dodged the draft and never wanted to be seen or photographed next to a wounded military veteran because it wouldn’t ‘look nice.’

This is also a guy who routinely tells rally audiences that they should ‘kick the shit’ out of anyone in the audience who holds up a pro-Biden or pro-Kamala sign, and once described his supporters as people who wouldn’t be upset if he shot someone…
