All the way from Tornado Alley to the Taconic Parkway, I saw too many Trump flags and signs last month to keep count. Most of them looked too fresh to be leftovers from last fall’s campaign. I even spotted a couple of white flags expressing hope for “Trump 2024,” and several signs proclaiming “Trump won.”
That was all very discouraging. While I never was a Trump admirer, I could appreciate his appeal as the antithesis of those professional, pandering politicians who have now resumed control of our government. He was pretty good at pandering himself, of course, but he definitely wasn’t very professional. His reckless antics repelled many of those whose support gave him his precarious victory in 2016, and if he won the nomination for 2024, he could anticipate a sufficiently resounding defeat to convince his most ardent followers, if not him.
