“Say, What?”… 30 August 2025

	*Say, What?
     By: Bill O'Reilly / July 13, 2025

     It is lazy writing to begin a column or letter or email with
the word "I."  Therefore, that sentence shields me from accusations
of sloth because, now, this column really begins.

     "I" am an American who likes to hear opposing points of view
if they are honestly presented.  No propaganda, however.  No
tolerance for deceitful people who spout gibberish for money. The
so-called "pundit class" in this country is rife with corruption.

     Also, I choose my associates carefully, having been betrayed
as we all have been. Among my crew are a number of liberal people
who are making the same mistake: they get agitated every time
President Trump says something provocative, which is "a lot," as
the Donald might opine.

     Every day, I get missives bemoaning the President's over-
the-top rhetoric: crocodiles in the Rio Grande, invading Green-
land, 800 percent tariffs on Paraguay.

     Mr. Trump's verbal bombs drive his detractors insane, which
very much amuses the Chief Executive.

     I explain all this in my book "The United States of Trump."
For decades, Donald Trump has created chaos among those with whom
he is negotiating or opposing. The tactic has generally worked
well for him.

     Best example. The first Republican debate back in August 2016.
There's the political neophyte Trump on stage with a slew of career
politicians who generally believe he's a nitwit.  Trump's strategy
was simple: channel Don Rickles.

     Remember Boring Jeb, Lyin' Ted, Little Marco?  Trump's verbal
grenades unsettled his competition, throwing them off their game,
especially Jeb Bush, the favorite at the time.  The Bush family
harbors a deep grievance against Trump to this day.

     When my anti-Trump associates wail and gnash their collective
teeth, I respond simply: evaluate what the President DOES, not what
he SAYS.  His words and tone can change from hour to hour.

     Ask "Little Marco", who is now Secretary of State.

     There has never been a President like Donald Trump, as I have
pointed out in this space.  He's not going to tone it down or
change his strategy.  He's taking his flamboyant style to the grave.

     In three and a half years, we will be able to historically
evaluate Mr. Trump.  But I can assure you that bombastic rhetoric
will only be a footnote to his legacy.

     What he actually does and how well that works for the American
people will define him for the ages, as it should.*

     Trump compounded his rhetoric because he was a pragmatic
realist so he hired and fired people to complete tasks he had for 
them and then he moved onto his next project.

     People, to this day, don't get him so they hate him without a
logical reason, all while he knew and knows exactly the result he
seeks. To do that he never lets the corrupt Left or the corrupt
media know what his right hand is doing.

     That is how a businessman accomplishes so much while the blind
politician make up lies and run in circles.

     God and Trump are on the same frequency and if all things were
equal he just might get that third term.

     America must pray for God's plan and America's survival.

  Conservatively,
  John
