Were you ever sold a mortgage by someone you thought you wouldn’t want to socialise with? Was he a bit of a loudmouth with a cocky ego and plenty of spiel? Even so, was the mortgage package still ideal for your circumstances and pocket? If it was, it doesn’t really matter whether the mortgage advisor’s personality was agreeable or not. The important point is that he did his job well and provided you with customer satisfaction. With me so far?
I’ve spent over eight years watching Donald Trump in front of the world’s cameras. My conclusion is that he is an individual I wouldn’t particularly like to converse with over a drink in my local pub. He’s narcissistic, brash and cursed with a penchant for verbosity. Then again, so are most world leaders. You don’t get to a position of leading a country by holding the same personality traits and following the same societal codes as most of the rest of us. It takes ruthlessness and oodles of self-confidence, whatever of outward appearances.
So you’ll forgive me if I contemptuously brush away the criticisms of Donald Trump’s personality: Criticisms and focus that are rarely applied to such a degree over, say, European leaders. I’m not concerned with what Trump’s personality is like. I care that he relays a message that not only millions of Americans enthusiastically endorsed on Tuesday last, but undoubtedly resonates with myself and many millions more across the Western world.
I’m sick of living in a country that, culturally and socially, is becoming an alien land to me. I’m sick of both state and economic institutions designed for generic public service retreating to woke echo chambers, eager to tick one politically correct box after another. I’m sick of being told what I can say, or write, or think. I’m sick of being labelled as politically and morally degenerate by a powerful Leftist elite that would perform somersaults in order to defend the ‘rights’ of those who hate this country, yet wouldn’t donate a penny of their own income to help folk who have lived and paid in here all their lives.
‘How did Donald Trump win?’, cry the liberals as they head-scratch so much, their scalps bleed. The answer is straightforward: Trump won because ordinary voters like you and I are fed up with having our views and opinions ignored by a transnational political class far keener on open borders, Net Zero and minority causes than listening to their own people. America has just rejected a Democratic presidential nominee who, when tasked with protecting Uncle Sam’s southern border as VP, presided over an influx of approximately seven million illegal migrants!! Nobody, and I mean nobody, who cares a jot for the health and endurance of their own nation-state allows such an atrocious scale of hostile invasion. But that’s the problem! Biden and Harris didn’t particularly care for the social wellbeing of the United States, anymore than Starmer and assorted European heads of government care for the collective social wellbeing of their respective lands. Had they done so, they would never have endorsed a borderless Europe; or shrugged shoulders as legions of incompatible people from incompatible lands with incompatible cultures descended like flies on their once-culturally harmonious societies. For example, we heard only this morning how Amsterdam held its very own contemporary incarnation of Kristallnacht (https://nypost.com/2024/11/08/world-news/israeli-soccer-fans-ambushed-in-amsterdam-after-europa-league-game-in-netherlands/) almost 86 years to the day since the original abomination. The ghastly sight of pro-Hamas scum on the streets of our own country every single weekend has its genesis in the experiment by politicians here to facilitate as many nasty ingrates to our shores as possible (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDUX-ULUKO0) for purely globalist reasons. However, we are told we cannot utter any words of dissent, lest we lose our livelihoods at best or our very freedom at worst!
Americans looked at the UK and Europe, and decided they didn’t want their own country following a similar path. Not just on the immigration front, but also on the imposition of high taxation, woke ideology, regulation, submission to criminal elements and so on. A Trump victory is what happens when elites talk about threats to democracy, whilst simultaneously denouncing anyone who doesn’t sit in their political groove as a ‘piece of garbage’, or a ‘Nazi’, or a ‘deplorable’. A Trump victory is what happens when Democrat apparatchiks stage a coup against an incumbent president and replace him with a candidate who had absolutely nothing by way of a popular mandate. A Trump victory is what happens when those who helped to wield power behind the scenes of what was (self-evident for a lengthy period of time) a mentally-failing Commander-in-chief are also – like their European counterparts – more preoccupied with the sense of Left-wing self-righteousness that comes with open borders than the earning power, earning potential, and human rights of their own citizens.
Cultural institutions, state bodies and universities may be heavily dominated – both here and in the United States – by apostles of Left-wing groupthink. Nevertheless, they do not represent the dominant belief systems in wider society. And wider societies across Europe, as well as America, are angry at being continually ignored by politicians who think they know better. The first and overriding duty of any government is to protect its own nation. There are, I believe, two crucial elements to this protection: Border security and energy security. Can anyone seriously articulate a defence of the British political class since the Millennium on either of these two fronts? A British political Establishment that has both harvested migrants like sheaves of wheat by an industrial thresher, and done away with our fossil fuel power stations thus making us more reliant on the foreign import of energy sources to keep our lights on? Donald Trump is, without question, far from the nicest of men. It matters not. For what he believes in is the potential, the power, and the renewal capabilities of his own country. They’re things beyond the wit of men like our Prime Minister. That’s why Trump won over 50% of his country’s electorate, whilst Starmer could barely scrape a third in securing his own Pyrrhic victory here four months ago. Food for thought, eh?
