I suspect Trump knew there was corruption but had no idea the scale of it until he became president. I am also in that same boat. I always suspected there was corruption but had no idea how pervasive it was in just about every insitution of our government, universities, etc. We have Trump to thank for more and more of the corruption being exposed every day.

He did tell Joe Rogan that it was a surreal experience when he first entered the White House as President. I would imagine it’s tough to be told you have to trust the recommendations of people who haven’t earned your trust.

I can sense it, he’s not let those teaching moments go to waste.

I was apprehensive in 2016 when I voted for him, confident in 2020, and this year I feel like he is the ONLY choice if we want to get our country back on track. It’s “do or die” time.

I also sense that, this time, he is accepting the guidance of God.

I pray that is more than just guidance but acceptance through repentance and forgiveness of his sins that Trump accepts Jesus as Lord and Savior, after as much as Trump has gone through and gotten out of, especially several near-death scenarios, how can one not see the hand of God in this?

That's exactly where I was and am. In 2016 I literally took a clothespin to the polls, so I could "hold my nose" and vote.

My vote for him was so last minute and the thing that got me to fill in the bubble in 2016 was seeing Hilary Rodham Clinton's name on the ballot. I thought, "Nope. Can't let that stand unopposed."

I wouldn't throw water on either Clintons, if they were on fire. I know that isn't Christian, but they and the obamas are just too evil.

I felt the same way about him when he came down the escalator. And then I started to wonder why the establishment, media and celebrities hated him so much. He ran in their circles so why did they want to destroy him? After answering that for myself Trump now has my unwavering support.

I have concluded that Trump being cheated out of 2020 was the best thing that could have ever happened. We would never know the level of corruption in this country if he had won his second term then.

It is a gigantic blessing! It ripped the cover off all the corruption and lunatics. Thank you Lord for this clarity, even with all the pain. I wouldn't change a thing.

Yes, the fence sitters needed sharper contrast. Best thing for this election cycle anyway.

Also what we learned from the Covid experiment. Woke up millions to the vast corruption in our government.

I feel like he had a plan for whatever way it went. But you are correct in that he has way more support now then in 2020.

I remember when reading the book by WSJ writer, Kimberly Strassel, about the IRS scandal under Obama how shocked I was at the corruption revealed in that agency. I remember thinking at the time that I was some super sophisticated political analyst. Hah. I was beyond naive and ignorant. I felt the same way when watching the unraveling of the "Russia, Russia, Russia" hoax and then Kavanaugh and then the Covington Catholic scandal. The list goes on and on. I think I am more wise now but really all that matters is Trump is more wise and ready.

Speaking of boats, I use the analogy of Trump being a cruise line captain dropped onto the liner in mid-ocean. But the entire crew hates the new captain and does everything possible to foil him. He gives an order to the coxswain and the coxswain pretends to turn the wheel, but Trump has no idea if he's following the assigned course. 3000 crew members pee into his food, grease his stairway and generally foul any gear necessary for smooth sailing. He gives orders to crewmen in the engine room and they ignore him. What is he to do? He can't replace the crew in mid ocean. He can't run the ship by himself.
