Click here for Mr. Hammer’s analysis and retrospective of Donald Trump’s victory, what it means, and what it could mean going forward. You won’t find a better one anywhere.
Let me show you just the first three, and last two, paragraphs of Mr. Hammer’s piece.
In a just world, Donald Trump would have won the Nobel Peace Prize for securing the historic Abraham Accords peace agreements of 2020. So too, in a just world, would A-list Hollywood studios now be bidding for the rights to produce the film adaptation of the single greatest comeback story in American history: Donald Trump, the once and future president.
Trump’s electoral landslide this week is one for the history books. His myriad foes illegitimately spied on his 2016 campaign. They fabricated a “Russia collusion” narrative out of whole cloth, then spent years “investigating” it. They impeached him twice. They prosecuted him across four separate jurisdictions, 91 criminal counts in total. They have tried to humiliate him, bankrupt him and incarcerate him. Assassins have tried to kill him — twice.
They have failed — repeatedly and catastrophically. Trump has solidified his status as the most consequential American political figure since Ronald Reagan. He has become the first Republican presidential candidate to win the national popular vote since George W. Bush in 2004. He has scrambled America’s political coalitions for a generation or more, expanding beyond his white working-class base to reach the full tapestry of modern American life.
Republicans are about to control the White House, the U.S. House and the U.S. Senate. These opportunities are infrequent, and Republicans must take advantage. Each and every day, the presidential and congressional agenda must be oriented toward prioritizing the common man who has been left behind for decades by both parties. Let the Democrats continue to navel-gaze and morally preen about their “virtue.” Just enact tangible policies, from the economy to trade to immigration and everything in between, that will better the common man’s lot in life.
The opportunity to refashion the Republican Party as America’s majority party is ripe for the taking. And what a Hollywood ending that would be.
