Awaiting the return of the Time of Trump

It is practical to consider that Donald Trump is a man created for combatting the Democrat party’s progressive march toward totalitarian control of our country.  Created for combat?  Why is that the case?

Consider that Trump was a successful builder on the island of Manhattan in New York.  Is succeeding as a builder of skyscrapers in New York City an easily accomplished feat?  Are hundreds of successful builders among the millions that call New York home?  Of course not.  Roadblocks exist to keep the pretenders from participating in building big in New York.

It is said that New York is a town run by the Port Authority, the entity that controls transportation into, around, and out of New York.  I’m a Californian, and even I know that.  Unions control what happens in New York, who gets to play in New York, and they decide if you will have a tough time being successful.  Corruption, graft, and political gifts go a long way in New York.  The ethic of Boss Tweed has never left the city.  If we understand that Trump has succeeded in the swampy underbelly of New York politics, union control, and city governance, it’s because he’s learned to get things done in spite of the roadblocks erected in the path of anyone wishing to play in that arena.

Trump’s experience in getting the Central Park Wollman ice-skating rink rebuilt is a lesson in why Trump is uniquely gifted to vie for the presidential election of 2024.  Detailed in the New York Times in May of 1986, Democrats ran New York, and they squandered six years and $13 million in a failing non-effort to rebuild a Central Park icon of winter wonder, enjoyed by multitudes of New Yorkers for decades.  Trump offered to Mayor Ed Koch a takeover of the project, providing construction and operation of the rink, at no profit to himself, and promised completion for the holidays in less than six months.  Trump announced to the Times that he’d do it, and he delivered.  Trump finished the project in four months and at 25% below the $3-million budget.

Sound familiar?  Trump announced his campaign promises in the Republican primary of 2015 and delivered on every promise with the exception of draining the swamp — an impressive list of accomplishments, considering the obstruction by the politically entrenched Deep State for the entire four-year tenure of his presidency.  Trump naïvely believed there were patriots in D.C. eager to Make America Great Again.  Now he knows better.
