i’m perfectly comfortable with an older, wiser, more docile Trump.

A wee little man can’t say, I’m sorry. A big man owns his mistakes and apologizes.
A wee little man trusts himself and his own discernment. A big man is humble enough to know that he needs the counsel and input of others.

Very touching and inspiring speeches, so hard to see her suffering yet strong and she was so appreciative of the award.


Apparently since President Trump was in Jerusalem, and then Egypt Monday he had asked that they have the ceremony on Friday this week for Charlie Kirk receiving the metal. But he had found out Charlie’s birthday was on Tuesday, so he was in the midst on Monday and made sure to be there for Charlie’s birthday to give the award. I’m sure Erica would’ve not minded it being on Friday knowing President Trump‘s travels but he wanted it to be on Charlie’s birthday. So he put himself through that kind of taxing traveling for that reason. See the books that have been written about him revealed how much he does for other people this was before he ran for president and it’s evident and instances like this.

Who could tell by viewing he had anything on his mind but CK and Erika?
i’m aware of some of the surprising under-the-radar decisions he’s made all his life. This wasn’t under the radar. But, he’s doing his best with understanding he has.

I thought Trump did bad. He seemed tired and was going everywhere. Erika did well ... again.

My take home was that our Dear Leader likes the sound of sirens.

i would prefer that Erika be protected from invasive cameras+mics. none of this is of my choosing. no one asks me.
i worry about Trump physically over doing things. for a man half his age.

No one seems like they could keep going at his pace. A young black man at work mentioned he was going to his doctor Friday. I said to Seth we need to pray for him. Seth replied.” I pray for him every night” I was touched.

Considering she's the CEO of TPUSA, she's probably capable of protecting herself, if she wishes to.
