Is Trump Wrong? Choosing Politics Over Reality

In government, military or civilian life, important decisions are best made using information you have at hand, but decisions are based on many factors, including gut feelings. Mainly, the elements are reduced to two factors, what we would call looking through a political prism or a reality prism. A political prism is usually based on what is good for the individual or the group, looking inward. A reality prism is what is best for the whole, looking outward, based on facts. In today's political correctness, considering facts has been reduced to a mere option. On Sunday, February 28, former President Donald Trump gave a speech to CPAC. The tone of his speech was of optimism and assurance of victory in the future. He spoke of 2022, and 2024 and his withdrawal of any support for a third party. He hinted several times of his running again for president in 2024. The crowd was enthusiastic, especially to have heard someone of presidential rank speak with lucidity for the first time since the official election certification on January 6. Most who heard the speech were either lifted up or cautiously optimistic.
