THE LEFTIST MEDIA is, of course, giving professor Allan Lichtman’s 13 Keys to the White House, coverage, because he paints a picture of President Trump losing his reelection.
You may have heard of him. He successfully predicted the last nine presidential elections, including Trump in 2016, but his prediction of Trump’s defeat is based on highly questionable assumptions on his part. Of course, the lazy news media bought the results of his check list without question. No fact check that they are so quick to use to challenge the president.
To receive a credit In Key #11, the candidate would have to “achieve a major success in foreign or military affairs.” Lichtman denies Trump credit for his list of accomplishments in foreign or military affairs.
President Trump kept his promise to rebuild our military, depleted by the previous administration, and he successful persuaded NATO member countries to pay their fair share.
As commander-in-chief, he successfully ordered the defeat of the ISIS califate and eliminated two key terrorist leaders – al Baghdadi and Soleimani. And he as announced plans to remove the majority of our troops from ill-fated countries
Diplomatically, he removed us from the flawed Iran Nuclear Deal that was never approved by Congress, he opened talks with Kim Jung Un of North Korea, he kept his promise to move Israel’s capital to Jerusalem, and he has received three Nobel Prize nominations for his role in the Middle East Peace process.
In Lichtman’s Key #9, Scandal, Trump loses because his administration was tainted by a major scandal. He was cleared of Russian collusion in the Mueller Report. But, Lichtman told Newsmax that even though the president was acquitted by the Senate, he likely will still have to pay “a political price for impeachment.” Really?
President Trump doesn’t survive Lichtman’s Key #8, Social Unrest, because of the social unrest allowed and in Democrat cities in Democrat states, where responsibility for law enforcement rests.
In Lichtman’s Keys #5 and #6 Short and Long-Term Economy, the president’s booming economy in his first three years are ignored, and he is blamed for the pandemic-caused recession. And the record third quarter GDP increase of 33.1 percent is ignored.
By my account, President Trump has clearly passed muster in 12 of Lichtman’s 13 keys to the White House. You read it here.
HAVE YOU HEARD that Jack Nicklaus has endorsed President Trump’s reelection? “He calls me every once in a while, to see how I think he’s doing,” said Nicklaus. I think he knows I’m sort of a neutral sounding board for him.”
I tell the president, “I think you’re doing great. I think your policies are great. I love what you’re doing.”
While he has to deal with some grief among fans and other golfers, “The comments I have gotten and Barbara has gotten, have been overwhelmingly supportive of what I did,” he said.
WHAT THEY’RE SAYING about President Trump, what he has accomplished and what he’s been addressing in his campaign for reelection.
Dominique Rivas, 42, Mesa, Arizona: “I believe that under Trump’s administration, my business is going to succeed. I mean, I’ve tripled my income since starting my own business.”
Bob Baker, 68, Ohio: “We need Donald Trump is here because there’s a lot of jobs on the line, especially the gas and oil Harris and Biden don’t want.”
Barbara VanSyckel, 70, Sterling Heights, Michigan: “People are grumpy. We’re sick and tired of wearing masks, we are sick and tired of being told what to do and how to do it. I can’t go to church, excuse me? Now that right there, to me, you started to really trample on my First Amendment rights.”
Tom Diehl, 75, Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin: “I like what he did with the renegotiation of the Mexico-Canadian-American trade agreement. That’s going to have tremendous benefits, especially here in Wisconsin with the milk industry because Canada was severely hurting our agricultural industry here.”

Peggy Noonan, Wall Street Journal: “I believe Mr. Trump is about to be fired, most spectacularly by the women of America.”
Jason Lester, 44, Ohio: I support Trump because he’s pro-life, he supports the right to bear arms and because he supports my livelihood, which is oil and gas. I just feel like he’s done great things for the country already. And four more years, if we can get Pelosi to quit trying to impeach him, then I feel like he’s gonna do a bunch more great things.”
Ross Miller, 39, Ohio: “He’s done everything that he said he would do when was campaigning. So everybody’s saying, you know what, this guy did this for the first three and a half years, let’s see what he going to do for another four years.”
Roger Kimball, The Epoch Times: “In championing the goodness of America, Trump defines the choice in this election.”
David Limbaugh, commentator, Fox News: “We’ve never seen a Republican president generate more enthusiasm. He has an electric bond with his supporters, who might recognize that he is uniquely situated for these turbulent times.”
Keith Moore, 64, Dayton, Ohio: “(He’s) doing a bang up job and he’s kept us out of war … and he keeps his promises.”
Tyler Duyrden, Zerohedge.com: “Trump will win in a landslide.”
Bob Casino, 49, Bruceton Mills, West Virginia: “I am going to vote for Donald Trump to help keep my job.”
Heather MacDonald, of the Manhattan Institute, City Journal, responding to the left’s criticism of Trump’s “toxic masculinity:” “Let them fume. Trump is now modelling masculine leadership at its best: upbeat, rational, and unbowed.”
Rick Uphold, 60, New Freeport, Pennsylvania: “Trump is the answer.”
Andrew Yackuboskey, 37, Peters Township, Pennsylvania: “Trump always puting America first.”
Al Perrotta, Stream.org: “I now believe Donald Trump will be reelected with such a resounding victory, there will be no serious disputing.”
Sigal Samuel, Kelsey Piper and Dylan Matthews: Vox.com: “The balance of evidence favors a Trump reelection.”
Ivan Alicea, Pennsylvania: “I’m a working class, Catholic, pro-life Democrat, and I don’t know how to vote.” Really?
May God continue to bless the United States of America.
