They both managed to get media attention-------people are attracted to that

"Are you attracted to Trump.." Not sure what you mean. Are you saying "What do you feel that people who are attracted to Trump...etc.."
Tarzan no understand.

I think that Trump is a good guy,

Yes, he is obnoxious,

Yes, he is wrong to oppose abortion.

Yes, he is wrong to use vulgar language (as when he used an earthy word to describe certain developing nations).

But he is right that our immigration policy is a mess; he is right that the street violence in 2020 was outrageous; he is right that the media have often printed outright lies about him; he was right that suddenly voting for President by mail would cause a lot of "confusion"; and he was right that every American should have equal rights but not special rights.

He would be wrong, however, to run in 2024.

He should be satisfied that he was the President, even for only one term. He joins an exclusive club of other people who had that privilege, such as Mr. George Herbert Walker Bush, Mr. James Carter, and no doubt Mr. Joseph Biden.
