If he often sounds dismissive or impatient, it is not because he can brook no opposition but because, just like many of us, he is tired of seeing American ideals torn down. Unlike so many of his foes on the left, he’s very grateful to this country for making possible all of his success. He’s not a barbarian at the gates, to be fended off by the New York Times or the Ivy League. Trump is a man already comfortably at home in America, at home with its people and its institutions. And the people sense that. They know he is one of them, not just another Washingtonian like all the ones he defeated and defied to become president.

Instead, Trump has repeatedly sided with individuals and small businesses.

No More Accepting Decline Trump’s critics may not see in the MAGA Doctrine principles that span beyond Trump’s own lifetime and beyond our own shores — but some people overseas do. Just as the United States was an inspiration to people resisting monarchies around the world at the time of the American Revolution and an inspiration to people resisting communist tyranny during the Cold War, the distinctive red Make America Great Again hats of Trump supporters have found their way to Hong Kong, during the 2019 protests there against some of the ways Beijing, back on the Chinese mainland, rules its less-communist “special administrative region.” Brave protestors wear Make Hong Kong Great Again hats — and borrow other American symbols, including the American flag.

Harris flip-flops as well, sometimes making it difficult to determine what her position is on a given law. She at times opposed California’s three-strikes-you’re-out (for life) laws — but then again, she wanted to jail parents if their kids skipped school. She’s not shy about coming down on people with the hammer of government.
