Donald Trump’s continued involvement in American politics is a waste of the conservative movement’s political energy, the Republican Party, and the American Right. This energy could be better spent on causes that matter to ordinary Americans and advancing conservative institutions. It’s important to note that political energy is finite, and there are only so many people engaged in American politics. Therefore, it’s critical to choose leaders who won’t waste the precious resources entrusted to them.
Unfortunately, Trump has a history of wasting energy on petty personal feuds, unnecessary scandals, and pointless lies. While he has accomplished some things, such as securing the border and protecting gun rights, he has also spent a significant amount of time and resources on personal matters that don’t benefit the conservative movement. This wasted energy has contributed to the decline of his approval ratings and has distracted from important conservative causes.
Furthermore, Trump’s legal troubles present a significant drain on Republican resources. He will have to spend time and money defending himself, and the legal defense will likely consume a large chunk of Republican donor money that could have been spent on party-building and elections. Additionally, Trump’s legal troubles may damage his image with persuadable voters and lead to alienation among Republicans.
Trump’s divisive nature is also a waste of energy, as he has turned his voters against fellow Republicans and caused anger among conservatives. While it’s true that every leader will inevitably waste some political energy, Trump’s old baggage never goes away, and voters who have tuned him out permanently never come back.
There are many things more important than the issues that Trump cares about, and his involvement in American politics is a waste of precious resources. The conservative movement should choose leaders who won’t waste their energy on personal matters and instead focus on advancing conservative causes. America deserves better.
