As a billionaire who has spent the majority of his adult life in the company of celebrities, CEOs, and world leaders, Donald Trump has managed to maintain an image of a man who genuinely cares for the average American citizen.
This is a quality that many believe former President Biden lost a long time ago.
According to RedState, it is hard to imagine Biden engaging with the public in the same way Trump does. Biden, along with Vice President Kamala Harris and predecessor Barack Obama, has been accused of displaying a disturbing arrogance towards the average citizen, treating them as underlings to be ignored or worse, canceled.
In a recent event, President Trump surprised visitors on a White House tour, addressing them as equals and not as mere subjects. He welcomed them warmly, saying, "Welcome to the White House. What an exciting group we have here. Is everybody having a good time? There's nothing like the White House, no matter where you go... the First Lady worked very hard in making it perfect and I think you're going to really love it. And I heard you were here and I said, 'let's stop by and say hi.' Maybe someday you'll be here as a president, right?" The crowd responded with cheers and chants of "USA! USA!" to which Trump mouthed, "Thank you."
While it is important to avoid idolatry or hero worship, Trump's recent resurgence indicates a strong desire among Americans for a return to the glory they believe has been undermined by the Obama and Biden administrations. Critics argue that these former presidents could never have created such a moment due to their elitist attitudes and progressive ideologies, which they believe are out of touch with the daily struggles of ordinary people.
Interestingly, it is wealthy individuals like Trump and Elon Musk, whose lives are vastly different from most, who seem to have a better understanding of the pulse of America.
The media has often portrayed Melania Trump as disinterested in her role as First Lady and wanting out of her marriage. However, recent evidence suggests otherwise. Melania has been credited with reopening the White House for tours, a move that has been well received by the public.
Despite the inevitable mistakes and backlash that Trump will face, particularly from Democrats and the media, there is a sense of "joy" in the country. This is a stark contrast to the extreme leftist politics of Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, who promised to bring joy but have been accused of falling short.
Trump's approach to greeting White House visitors may seem small, but it is symbolic of his overall approach to governance - bringing the "Peoples House" back to the people. This is a testament to his commitment to traditional values, limited government, and individual freedom, hallmarks of a conservative perspective.
