Enthusiasm for Donald Trump ‘like Nobody’s Ever Seen’
by John Nolte
There’s a favorite expression of President Trump’s — some variation of “Nobody’s ever seen before” or “Nobody’s ever seen anything like this.” He says it to emphasize the good (unemployment numbers) or the bad (illegal immigration) or something that in the future could be good (your 401k if Trump’s elected) or bad (your 401k if Biden’s elected).
Sometimes, he’s right. Sometimes, it’s hyperbole, his version of You won’t believe your eyes, but never has the expression been more true than when it comes to the enthusiasm we’re seeing for this president. It’s literally something nobody’s ever seen before, and I say that as someone who remembers Ronald Reagan’s triumphant 1984 reelection, when he ended up winning 49 states.
Reagan’s reelection was more of a thank you tour for the president on top of an acknowledgment by America that Americans made the correct decision in 1980 to fire Jimmy Carter. We don’t fire a lot of presidents in this country. Before Carter, there was Herbert Hoover all the way back in 1932.
Reagan almost singlehandedly lifted America out of the tortuous sixties, the hell of Vietnam and Watergate, the energy crisis, and the misery index. He lifted us into an era of peace and prosperity unseen since the end of World War II, one that would last until September 11, 2001.
We were America again, and 1984 was about doubling down on having made the right decision four years earlier.
But even Reagan… Sure, he attracted large crowds, but nothing like this. Sure, people waited to wave at the presidential motorcade, but nothing like this. Add to all this the organic and truly grassroots boat and vehicle parades we’re seeing… Miles and miles and miles of cars and boats. Imagine committing yourself to something like that. The logistics. The waiting. The inconvenience of losing an entire day. And we’re seeing these expressions of support all over the place, even Beverly Hills, and they’re yuge.
