When he took his first step onto the escalator!

Love Bill Whittle!!

Imho, President Donald J. TRUMP is the personification of the “President” of which Bill Whittle speaks so frankly.

And the reason the “Bad Guys” will go to any length to stop him…

Is clear!

I hope to draw breath long enough to see that “President” unleashed!!

🇺🇸Best President 🇺🇸
………….. EVER…………..

Day 1. And never happier then when I found this website! Sundance, thank you for all you do to keep us informed. Appreciated.

I volunteered not later than June 16, 2015. What fun it was, and still is.

From the escalator ride and speech. I remember watching with my husband and our mouths were agape! 😲
Nothing but truth bombs.

 While working in the lumber industry in Northwestern Montana we were encouraged to use politically correct language dealing with fellow employees. 
 When I heard Donald Trump refer to senator Elizabeth Warren as Pocahontas he had me

A REALLY long time after you did…I was more anti-Hillary than pro-Trump cuz “decorum”

I didn’t get it like most of ya’ll did until close to the election

I was open to him from the escalator. But it wasn’t until he was clearly gonna be the presumptive nominee that I became a real supporter, until then I was hoping for him, Rubio, or Cruz and I would take any over Killary. Cruz showed his ass at the convention and you opened my eyes to Rubio.

I was listening to the Michael Savage radio program that day and he covered Mr. Trump’s candidacy announcement. When I heard Mr. Trump state his position against illegal immigration I immediately became a supporter. All of the other Republican candidates were weak on the issue or worse.

As a longtime conservative NYC Republican (born and raised in Queens County NY) I was skeptical of the self promoting DJT though I respected him for his construction in NYC (especially the Wollman Skating Rink) and for 2016 was supporting Ted Cruz. It was not until the first debate when he showed he had the “balls” to say what I and most Americans were feeling particularly on illegal immigration. I thought he may later “clarify” his comments but he doubled down at the next debate and that was it. I especially enjoyed his takedown of Jeb and “that guy whose dad was a postman”.

I first came to the treehouse during the Zimmerman trial (site mentioned in an American Thinker article) and CTH has been my first read in the AM since.

This is my longest of my infrequent posts.

I like to tell people I am the other “Donald J from Queens” (yes my first name and middle initial)

From the get go; I don’t recall how I found TCTH, but I joined sometime in 2015. I went through a period of disillusionment at some point in 2020, following the stolen election, and stopped watching/reading media and concentrated on work. Goodness, now I can barely take my eyes off of it, something new happening every 5 minutes.

When Trump first stated talking about America First policies. Until then, I had assumed everything was on the up and up and Republicans cared about us. My eyes became wide open. I saw the over 30 year old videos of Trump saying the same things, although in a softer way lol. I started reading the Conservative Teehouse where they explained to me what was going to happen to Trump and what to watch out for from the media and republican establishment. And it all came out to be true. Everything changed for me after that. I love Donald Trump and what he’s doing for America. I love The Conservative Treehouse for opening my eyes to the truth.

In 1988, Donald Trump was on Larry King’s show.

There was scuttlebutt that George Bush was going to pick a young millionaire as his running mate — King (haha) asked Trump if the name being bandied about was his?

Donald gave Larry a sly smile and said, “If my name is ever on a presidential ballot, it will be on the top of the ticket.”

I knew then I would vote for him when the time came. . . .

re: “So, when did you join the Trump train?”

From the beginning; I even voted FOR Trump here in the Texas Repub primary choosing NOT to even ‘virtue signal’ like a lot of other conservatives chose to do (at least in forums and online) …

PS. Long time Rush listener too. Got him recorded on cassette tape back pre-year-2000 .. used to set up a 7″ reel-reel recorder on a timer then after work listen time-shifted to the evenings.

He won me over before the official announcement, when he offered to donate $1M to Obunghole’s favorite charity for allowing Hawaii to release his actual Birth Certificate.
STILL WAITING 😂

I , unfortunately voted for Ross Perot twice. I liked Trump because he had a lot of the same values as Perot. Both wanted limited government, and less corruption from the money grabbing Congressmen. I can remember Bill and Hillary were inviting Dem donors to spend the night in the White House, but with one catch– the guests had to make a donation to the Democratic party. Perot campaigned that the White House belonged to ALL the American people, not just the Democratic party. Perot was sabotaged by Dems and Repubs alike. Perot was about 5’6″ with a high squeaky voice. He did not have the commanding presence like Trump. If Trump can survive the full four years and we don’t have another intentional pandemic (I think it was), he will go down as the greatest President of all time.

I was a single, female in my late 20s/early 30s living alone doing the career thing, easily persuaded by the media. It was my brother & dad who talked conservative sense into me in October 2016 (just in time to vote!) & my brother told me about your site. Have been a loyal follower & Trump fan ever since. All 3 of his terms 😜 (also now happily married to a conservative man, raising our babies at home!)

I used to be a fairly active member of RedState, which did, however, have its problems: the head, Erick Erickson, came across as something of a know-it-all, and people were censored at times for daring to have differing opinions on certain things or politicians.

During the nomination race in 2016, I was more than willing – along with other members – to give Candidate Donald TRUMP a chance.

When, in fact, a good member of RedState was banned for writing in favor of Donald TRUMP, I wrote an essay in his/her defense,
and ended up being banned myself.

After a search for another Conservative website favoring the First Amendment 😇, I ended up here, and have been favorably impressed ever since!

Even before he announced. I had been following his views, and his books for some time, and was blown away by his perspective. His view of the importance of private property rights was critical to me, as I see private property rights as the king pin of everything else. The left is anti-private property, and is the underlying foundation of the environmental movement, not science. Along with that, he liked interposing biblical analogies to illustrate points that were foundationally important. No one did that. He was rock solid, a fighter, and above all told it just as it is, point blank, no apologies. And he picked his time to do everything. Philo, a contemporary of our Lord Jesus Christ, wrote “For good men are the pillars of whole communities, and they support cities and city-governments as if they were great houses” (Philo Mig 124). Trump was, and is, one of the pillars!

When he started using the media for free advertising.

I humbly admit that I was for Cruz at first and even voted for him in the Wisconsin Primary. Then, around that time, all the many conservative blogs I followed kept referring to articles posted at some website called, “The Conservative Treehouse.” A website that started out each day with “The Lord’s Prayer.” I’ve been MAGA ever since then. God Bless you, Sundance!

When I watched his first rally. I didn’t really know anything about him other than he had a TV show, 3 wives, a book and a NY construction and real estate empire. I’d never watched his show or read his book. I watched him come down the elevator and said, well, we’ll see how this goes. All the familiar R candidates plus Carson and Trump. Kasich was my governor so I already knew he was a loser. Jeb! Weren’t 2 Bushes enough? Cruz, Christie, Rubio, etc., etc., etc., ugh. My sisters were huge Scott Walker fans, I was so so already knowing all the R candidates were just a shell game. That rally was my aha! moment. I had never heard his points before. Listening to him, I instantly knew he was speaking unabashed, uncompromised and unfiltered truth. I loved it! I’ve never looked back. There is no one like him on the planet. He is one of a kind: unshakeable, unbreakable, unbeatable. Thank you, Lord, that you gave us such an implacable warrior in the hour of our greatest need.

Can you put link in here of his announcement and positions?

I probably didn’t pay too much attention at the time. I do know I have voted for him 6 times.

Living in Austin at the time, Trump came to town with Hannity for a town hall at the Moody theater. Think downtown Austin on Willie Nelson Blvd. Working at the time, I encouraged her to go. She lined up without a ticket. The fellow MAGA attendees couldn’t have been more wonderful she said. Someone was able to get her a ticket & in she went. She was a big Trumper after hearing him. As for me, “He had me at the escalator!”

Also remember the sole media commentator who predicted Mr. Trump would win the Presidency in 2016 – a prediction that nearly got her laughed off the CNN or MSNBC set. That commentator was Ann Coulter.

I have never really cared about politics during my entire youth and early adulthood. I always understood that politicians are essentially the same, regardless of what ‘color’ banner they wave. They take a poll at one site and say what those folks want to hear, then move on to the next site to ‘rinse and repeat,’ and (if they get elected) just do whatever they please (an elected representative that no longer represents).
 
In 1992/1996, Ross Perot came along and he caught my attention. I liked much of what he said, and I began to become interested. But, he started openly commenting about (what seemed to be ‘bat-shit crazy’ at the time) being targeted (which, now in retrospect, was not likely so crazy, though he should have had the public-speaking wherewithal to better scrutinize those comments). Shortly thereafter he went away, and so did any of my interests in politics.
 
Then, Trump ‘threw his hat into the ring,’ and (again) piqued my interest. Initially, I was very skeptical and, with some reservations, cast my vote for him. Well within his first week of office, doing (or, attempting to do) everything that he said he would do if elected (a responsible action/performance that I have never witnessed in my lifetime), I quickly became 100% convinced that he is our first modern ‘President of the people.’  

When they began protecting Hillary Clinton, is when I was fully onboard. I was strongly attracted to him because of his candor on OBVIOUS truth. Like for example, immigration laws are broken. No, there are not broken. The elites broke the immigration laws and amendment 14, is that the birth right citizenship, to dump illegal aliens – by bribery – and keep them here. Then, the elites want to ‘fix’ immigration law which means eliminate our borders and this has been obvious for a long time.

I could go on about the broken schools, the brutalization of blacks, I mean, destroying their culture, religion, family unit, and education and, then for the punch line, blame it on whites. I could write a book on all of these issues and this is before Trump was on the scene.

Now, they formalize, bureaucratize, grooming in schools in order for children to self mutilate with a formalized, bureaucratized organizations of bribed doctors to do it and all the f—king media does is highlight the few pedo priest when the public schools are far worse. I used to read of break outs of the clap by high school coaches with the male students until the media shut it down and this was before the government was trying to brainwash students INTO gender and sexuality confusion. The public schools had far greater homosexual attacks than the Church could ever hope to imagine – I had one hit on me back in the day, a coach dammit- and all the leftist media ignored it.

I could go on but I don’t want to die of a f—king heart attack!!

AAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!

the media switch. it was literally one day they loved him the next day he is Hitler

So, when did you join the Trump train?
When Ted Cruz dropped out.

When did I join the Trump train? Well, I was pretty disgusted that ALL of the GOP candidates before Trump were seen handing out teddy bears and soccer balls to illegal aliens and were completely pretending not to know criminals and worse were coming across the border. As a Texan I knew well about the cartels and the shooting that happens in border towns.

I’m not popular for actually liking the hispanic people I grew up around in Texas. Some were legal and others were not and it was kind of hard to know the difference a lot of the time. So I do NOT have any racial bias — quite the opposite actually. But there’s no way I don’t sympathize with legal and illegal hispanics who hate the brutality of the criminal element.

So when Trump came down and made his “They are not sending their best” speech, I knew EXACTLY what the media was going to say and I knew that HE knew what they were going to say and he SAID IT ANYWAY!

That’s a man of courage and of conviction… literally now! And he’s absolutely not playing for personal interest or gain. CLEARLY.

Once could argue that the founding fathers themselves actually had personal gain in mind when founding this country. But their gain was our gain as they had all of the people in mind when the country was founded. The founders lost the slavery argument because the corruption was there from the start. But they hammered out a great start.

But then comes Trump. NO NEED to compromise on things.

Well, initially I did not know much about him other than his New Yorky attitude, in your face! I worked with many many New Yorkers and always loved there in your face, and honest attitude. I did know that I was not supportive of the other candidates although they’re a smidgen better than the D’s put up. After the first debate, I was sold lock stock and barrel up to today. God bless him, I do believe that God has prepared him for this battle. He went into the wilderness for 4 YEARS, tested and tried by so many. He survived and he will not stop. God bless America for our good fortune.

I joined when he told Hillary she should be in jail.

When? As soon as Trump’s foot hit the escalator step.
I’ve never waivered. President Donald J. Trump is one of a kind.

As Rush Limbaugh liked to say “the media did not make Donald Trump, and for that reason they can’t destroy him.”

I have said it before and I will say it again, when Trump declared his desire to become president that day he was without a doubt the best man for the job because he wasn’t a politician, now unfortunately he is just another political animal.

The day We the People allowed the walking Potato to take the oath of office our “Constitutional Republic” died.

Will we ever be the “America” that most of us was raised to believe in? Only time will tell…

“I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all,”🇺🇲

Previous to Donald Trump announcing his candidacy, I had seen various clips of him. One that stood out I’ll post below.

Anyone that was involved in commercial real estate, in any capacity, knows what the negative consequences were of the 1986 Tax Reform Act.

Trump’s testimony before the House Committee in 1991 succinctly tells the story.

He knew the causes and the solutions to the problems that Congress had made with this legislation.

This is just one of many reasons that I was “All In” for Donald Trump the moment he announced he was going to take on the rest of the jackals.

Here is the link to the video:

I was won over when he had previously stated his immigration position and the usual attacks on him came. Any other Republican would have retreated and “modified” their position. I honestly in those days expected him to do the same and wasn’t sure he was for real. When he stood his ground he won me over. I also wasn’t aware of this site back then either so I never read anything that you would find here.

I probably joined the Trump train in mid 2017. By then a few things were clear. Trump WASN’T going to be another progressive Arnie Schwarzenegger (former CA governor), which was my 2016 judgment based upon Trump’s progressive NYC background, casinos, flash and dazzle, show business background (i.e. his Real Estate cred was less a consideration – I did not follow the man). Second, he was KEEPING HIS WORD, unlike nearly every other GOP politician in my lifetime, and in particular, those from 2000 onward including the ones running the 2017 GOP Congress. Third, Trump’s sworn enemies, those who gain power and wealth “…. by any means necessary” were also MY enemies.

Trump’s still not my favorite cup of tea. He’s different than me in a lot of ways. He’s different in ways that bring a natural distrust, analogous the way my best friend (who was in sales his entire life) behaves. He’s that “deal maker” type. His grade-school playground type insults are over the top and counter productive, in my honest opinion. He’s a flawed human being, a very rich and flawed human being, who ironically, puts other human beings first in his life. He’s also a native New Yorker, who fights like a junkyard dog when he or his are insulted or injured (reference his reaction to Musk and Tucker Carlson’s “flips”).

I pray for Trump. Every ONE of us should think “… there but for the GRACE OF GOD, go I”, when we observe another human being’s faults and psychological frailties, regardless of how we view their impact or criticality. In my opinion, even though he and I may be different as oil and water in a lot of areas, he’s an honest man trying to do the right thing for the country, in one of the country’s most difficult times. There’s been 100 years of Marxist Socialism running the USA, so that even the ideas of the so-called “conservative” GOP come out as supporting socialism WITHOUT RESERVATION, like socialism and Marxism are the human norm we’re all trying to avoid. He’s one man fighting alone, most of the time, fighting the 100 year tide of anti-democratic, anti-freedom Marxist socialism.

Jack Posobiec frequently askes the question about certain people, i.e. “Do they know what time it is?” When Trump was first elected, I don’t quite think he fully understood the time. He saw needs for 30 years, thought that through his leadership, some could be met, some systemic problems overcome. (Again, he DOES have a progressive background, which is why a lot of the “good business leaders” he brought in, were progressive.) His first four years and the succeeding four years of the imposter “President” Biden, were a rude awakening. I’m not entirely sure when he fully understood the massive “deep state” assault upon him, and upon American, for benefit of a greater, authoritarian style socialism. However, after the past eight years, he certainly knows “the time” now. He’s the right man for this time. He’s the right President, for right now. Maybe not the greatest ever, but he’s certainly in the competition for it, just for addressing the problem and taking it head on.

God bless Donald Trump, and God please, bless America through his efforts.

I was on board the Trump train 1 minute into his speech after he and beautiful Melania descended down that escalator. He has not disappointed me yet; I am still riding the Trump train.

He is comfortable in his own skin. I can’t imagine him being purchased like the majority of the office holders claiming to be conservatives. He is confident and a patriot. To me, he is everything a President of the USA should be. I don’t always agree with his style or even some of his positions, but I’m extraordinarily happy he is our President. He’s proud to be an American Patriot, and so am I.

When I saw that first debate and what a fighter he was. Then when he told Hillary she would be in jail, I knew he would win.

I joined the Trump Train June 16, 2016.

I told myself I would never vote again after the disillusionment of watching Obama and his crew.

Shortly after President Trump‘s announcement, I read about CTH on Breibart in the comment section and I’ve been here ever since.

I will always support President Trump no matter what decisions he makes. I know he has my best interest at heart along with everybody else.

It is a blessing to have been alive during his presidencies. God bless him and protect him and his family.

It wasn’t until he really started campaigning that I sort of got onboard. I kept telling my horrified liberal friends that he isn’t serious, he’s just looking for the publicity but doesn’t really want to be Pres. I said no way is he going to beat out all those GOP candidates let alone win.

Then I began watching and listening to him, how he talked about America, his ability to be with and enjoy the people, his stances were aligned more closely to mine, his honesty and follow through on what he said he would do and I liked what he was saying.

I still thought he was too ego driven and bombastic at times, but then began to understand him more and that feeling of annoyance at how he talked started to become admiration. The final push for me was that no one could find anything awful or seriously dishonest the guy ever did really in his whole life nor in his family either. His way with the ladies, lots of ladies, was a bit concerning until that turned out to be mostly false too.

I climbed on the Trump train about half way through the 2016 campaign and have been riding along happily ever since. Do I agree with him on everything? Nope, but he is so much doing what I like for the country as a whole that my quibbles are not great and usually resolve in a positive way.

I never expected him to be perfect, just willing to try and fix this country. So far he has done just that.Are things bumpy at time? Yes, but expected to be in light of the enormity of his task. . I’m still just fine with him right now. Hopefully we get this right and keep his agenda going on into the future.

God seems to have handed this man to America for one last attempt at making things right. We cannot ignore that and we must follow what God has given to us.

As the GOP campaign trail heated up. The things being said about the GOP/RNC started to make sense that the DC Opus was a facade of vetted sellouts.

This occurred when I started to put names to those photographed sitting behind John Kerry announcement of the Paris Climate Treaty.

All major names in CodePink and MoveOn.org who’s roots lay not in the Dem/DNC circles but to the McCain/Rockefeller/Goldwater wing of the RNC.

He was an outsider. At that point I was completely dissatisfied with ALL careers Republicans, being lied: give me congress… give me the senate… give me the Presidency… and we did and they never accomplished what was promised. So, why not give an outsider with good arguments a chance?

He sounded just like someone from Queens to me (had a few friends from there in college), so I figured he was authentic.

B4 the escalator I flip flopped between Ted Cruz and Ben Carson. The escalator got me to 👀.

The first debate disqualified Ted because he walked right around Carson who didn’t hear his name called. But DJT waited with Carson ❤️.

Then the Rosie/pig response, I was THUNDERSTRUCK! That song Sundance … both ACDC and the cello dudes was the sound the train made as it ran right over me. Thank you.

Long before he ran for office when I awakened to the UniParty way back in the mid-90s thanks to an extremely skeptical, critical thinking nature combined with reading some mostly libertarian books.

Later, this helped me to understand how we got here: Righteous Indignation, Chapter 6: Breakthrough

From Day 1 at his speech from the escalator. My wife and I were praying for a leader we could rally to. I knew he was the man, the answer to our prayers. I never wavered through the controversies and the attacks. Thank God for Trump!!!!

Been following PT since forever. Similar business. Hotel/Resort design. Followed him with the Commodore Hotel and Hyatt.

Thought PT would run in 88. NY’rs wanted him to run.

Met Ivana Trump at the Ritz=Carlton Washington DC on the first night of its reopening, after my team refinished the entire place! She loved my persimmon suite!

Worked in Trump Tower for condo owners after 2001. Oddly, the condo owner was the designer of the O-Ring. I know, weird, right?

EVERYONE LOVED their jobs at TT!!!

Met PT at the Poughkeepsie Republican Women’s Club in 2015? He decided to run because he finally could hand his business off to the children.

Made a point of noting that. Our sheriff, Butch Anderson, was in the crowd that day. I believe I see him in the clip. RIP Butch.

Will stay on the train.

History!

When DJT and Melania came down the Trump Tower escalator and he said he would not accept any special interest money, I immediately knew the long-range repercussions of that – “He can’t be bought off!!!!” I was immediately on the Trump Train and started attending rallies all over the Midwest and watched the ones I couldn’t get to either via Facebook livestream or the RSBN feed on YouTube (before they were deplatformed!).
