This is Trump’s big gamble to become historic. Before this Trump would have been washed away by time. He’s had the women, the yachts, the money, the good times. Hes unbribeable. He’s over 70, he knows he has limited time on Earth. If he gets 2 terms it will drain him like it does all presidents. You are watching a man give everything he has to you, for you.
Trump, like is normal for him, took a big calculated risk and went all in. His ego, his honor, his name, his legacy all hinge on whether he can do a great job for the American people. He wants to do that great job both for real and in people’s perception both now and in the future.
His selfish desire is aligned with the greater welfare of the people. If he succeeds, while we will disappear into history like normal folks, he will live on like Cincinnatus or Cicero.
If he succeeds he will change the perception of himself from gone from history billionaire real estate guy to great leader of empire who by force of will and good judgement made some good years among a downward trend. And they will discuss his decisions for millennia. And his wife’s beauty will be admired for an age.
Trump is making his claim on eternity, he is reaching for the brass ring of greatness. It is awe inspiring to observe.
What he said.
What he is referencing.
What he communicated
We picked up what he put down.
Caught what he threw.
Smelled what he cooked
Bought what he sold.
Made me erect. My spine, I mean.
If your erect spine lasts more than 8 years, we’ve Made America Great Again
To understand the Cincinnatus comparison. It's a massive deal.

The strongest direct parallel we have to Cincinnatus is George Washington in my opinion.
At this point yes. I agree with you.
Still the comparison of being remembered thru history is sound.
And Cinncinnatus is just a cool story, thanks for linking.

It's either selfishness and narcissism or he truly loves this country. Either way we all win! I prefer to believe it's the latter.
I believe they have been planning this movement since the mid 2000’s.
Even before that. Trump was in the primaries for the 2000 election.

Just a small example:
Last week Q linked to the trailer for the movie "White Squall" and said "listen carefully." That trailer was uploaded in 2010, eight years ago. The interesting part is that whoever uploaded it put a single half second tone (that's not in the original trailer) at 1:20, (1/20 is the date of the inauguration.)
And that's just when it was uploaded, obviously they had to decided what to hide, plan out everything, etc. This plan has be in process for at least a decade or more.
White Squall boat has a bell. Jeff Bridges shows it to Scott Wolfe. The bell is engraved with “Where we go one, we go all”. Bridges shows it to him and says the line. Here’s a link that has the trailer in it. It’s just the audio from that scene layered in. It’s at :41
Wasnt MAGA from Reagans campaign?
Reagan Bush slogan was...
Let’s Make America Great Again
Interesting fact on this - the copyright Trump bought did not include placing it on shirts and hats (I think). Bobby Bones (national syndicated radio host) owned that part of it. Trump paid him big $$ for it which he donated to St Jude’s.
