Breitbart:
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) offered his “admittedly a little tardy” endorsement of President Donald Trump and his cabinet Thursday and praised the president’s nominees, many of whom he said he would have chosen himself.
“A few people may have noticed that I resisted an enthusiastic endorsement of Donald Trump during the election. But now, I’m amazed by the Trump cabinet (many of whom I would have picked),” Paul began.
“I love his message to the Ukrainian warmongers, and along with his DOGE initiative shows I was wrong to withhold my endorsement,” the senator continued.
“So today, admittedly a little tardy, I give Donald Trump my enthusiastic endorsement! (Too little too late some will say, but, you know, it is sincere, there is that.),” he explained, noting, in typical Paul fashion, that individuals should not expect the endorsement to be “fawning.”
“I still think tariffs are a terrible idea, but Dios Mio, what courage, what tenacity,” he admitted. “Go @realDonaldTrump Go!” more
That’s mighty big of him. At least it seemed genuine.
I’ll cut him some slack.
Admittedly, Trump can be an acquired taste. For the buttoned-up country club Republicans, the brash in your face ,”Get on board or get out of the way” approach can ruffle some feathers. And some never figure out that this attitude (and his genuine love of country) is what the unwashed love about him.
Late to the party is better than those Never-Trumpers like Bill Crystal, Paul Ryan, and all those “Bulwark” ass-hats who still don’t get it and actively work to undermine his agenda.
OT, I’m watching the Patel swearing-in. The guy is a rock star and the crowd in attendance is jacked up.
For the first time in a long time, I have a good feeling about the trajectory of America.
I’m withholding my endorsement of Rand Paul until he puts fauxi in prison and takes all his and his crooked wife’s money.
Maybe Rand Paul could think more clearly if he’d take that Rat off his head!
I’ve always liked Rand Paul. I think he’s a very decent human being. I don’t quite understand his father (but I don’t dislike him). Except for the dyed-in-the-wool RINOs, I hope we don’t get to the point the Leftists have — of piling on anyone who doesn’t share the hivemind opinion. It’s good for the MAGA movement to have its rational dissenters. It can only make us better.
He’s openly libertarian and Tarriffs are anathema to libertarian economics. As weapons they have legitimate use, as long-term policy they are economic poison.
