Trump Supporter on the 2016 Victory, Political Strategy and Devotion

I support Donald J. Trump. I really love Trump.

By July or June, more so than just party loyalty.

No, I think the Trump strategy was absolutely brilliant.

Well, it was just ecstasy, to say

the least. Indescribable, the feeling. People were in mourning.

People were depressed. I walked outside and with my Make

America Great Again hat to gloat after the victory, and it just ruined

people's day when they saw. You could see their faces, which were

already melancholy, just drop to absolute

misery. Um, and I, I loved it. I just...

Oh my gosh, that feeling to see at long last the

pretentious, uppity, judgemental liberals

now absolutely defeated and crushed.

It was the greatest feeling in the world.

And you know, while we would love to have unity,

and one day we would

love to come together as Americans,

to have that one week where we just, where you could say,

"Screw you, we won, and you lost," so rich.

And what we witnessed was history in the making.

I mean, that, that was akin to watching Osama bin Laden get

shot a few

years ago. Or akin, I mean, to... and obviously carries negative

connotations, but 9/11 or the Berlin Wall coming down or Pearl

Harbor. But I mean, that was one of those moments where you

were seeing

world history being made. I mean, this was Brexit, this was Trump's win,

this was, um, you know, the Italian referendum,

which failed yesterday.

I mean, this is, this is something that is in the history of Western civilization

that will be written about for years. So a- absolutely incredible to watch.

I think that we have to continue to, to put pressure on him.

We can't be sycophants, or we'll end up with the same broken

promises that liberals

saw with Obama. I, I love Donald Trump, and it's sort

of scary because I have a really good friend of mine from high school,

and we were

on the Trump train. He actually sort of convinced me to get on

the Trump train.

And, uh, I asked him one day on Twitter, 'cause we were, you know, we were trading

memes, and we were talking about how great Trump

is and how awesome everything was

going to be. And I said, "Are we in a cult?" You know?

Because there is sort of this godlike devotion in a

certain sect of the party. And, and for a lot of people it's ironic,

but for a

lot of people they really do see him as sort of a savior figure.

And you have to caution against the excesses of

sort of a messianic political movement.

Strategically, we need to be supportive of Trump,

and we need to

overlook the bad things that he says for tactical and pragmatic

purposes. Because if we jump in on it with him,

there's no one

standing for Trump, and it's CNN and the world versus Donald Trump.

It's the Europe, it's the Vatican, it's the president, it's his own party,

and then

his people against him. So you know, we sort of have to be very

much devoted to him. And even the things

that ideologically I'm not totally on

board with or, or I disagree with some of the ways

that he does things, I,

I have to admire the fact that

in totality he is this courageous lion

who is just sheer strength, who has no fear.

Um,

and you have to sort of look at it in a holistic way.

I think that's the only way to look at it.
