The Case for Donald Trump, Part II

Ending the war in Ukraine and avoiding a nuclear WWIII is my top priority, and it should be yours, too.

Why vote for Trump in 2024?

As I mentioned in my previous article, we are faced with two bad choices for President. But I believe there is a small but vitally important difference between the Trump campaign and the Harris campaign. What’s more, this difference, though compartmentalised, is nonetheless significant enough to warrant a clear choice for Trump and the GOP over Harris and the Democrats.

It’s not just about the President

First, we must consider that a modern day American President is not in charge of much at all. Rather, the “Administration” that a President and his advisors put in place are the one who are tasked with creating and executing policy.

At least, that’s the way it is supposed to happen. In reality, much of what the government does in terms of policy — especially foreign policy — is in the hands of “the permanent state” or what some call the “deep state”. These are the career civil servants and agency power players that maintain a common and consistent US foreign policy throughout a succession of different Administrations, Democrat and Republican alike.

I have written about this reality in my article, “How to Explain the Deep State to Someone Who Refuses to Believe It Exists”.
