Donald J. Trump Sr. “Pulls A Grover Cleveland” As He Gains A Second Presidential Term Having Won 8 Years Ago And Lost 4 Years Back. “He’s Back”– Apolitical notes follow

It ought not to be a brain twister to figure why often cryptic me, “leads” with this from Wikipedia.

Stephen Grover Cleveland (March 18, 1837 – June 24, 1908) was the 22nd and 24th president of the United States, serving from 1885 to 1889 and from 1893 to 1897. He was the first Democrat to win the presidency after the Civil War and was one of two Democratic presidents, followed by Woodrow Wilson, in an era when Republicans dominated the presidency between 1869 and 1933. Cleveland won the popular vote in three presidential elections: 1884, 1888 and 1892. In 1888, Benjamin Harrison won the electoral college vote, and thus the presidency, in 1888, before Cleveland won the electoral college in 1892, making Cleveland the first U.S. president to serve non-consecutive presidential terms,^[b] and the only to do so until the expected second inauguration of Donald Trump after having won the 2024 presidential election, following his failure to win a consecutive second term in the 2020 presidential election.

Donald J. Trump Sr. (he opened -130 or so presumably vs Biden, was as high as -270 or so after a certain debate and attempted assassination and an underdog of say plus 120 vs new candidate Harris (her name evokes polls and they proved correct this and most times)–oh the “middle” possibilities in this and most elections, unlike sports the fickle, “prisoner of the moment” mentality of so and too many in this republic is “baked” into the line) did pull a “Grover Cleveland” and win elections 8 years apart after losing one in between.

I confess thinking Cleveland was a Republican (as noted by Wikipedia, he was not) and “vibing” Trump as a Republican, would win much as Ronald Reagan, who played the great pitcher Grover Cleveland Alexander, surely named for President Cleveland, in the movie “The Winning Team,” co-starring Doris Day, won 2, of course, consecutive presidential elections, the second now forty years ago.

Perhaps down the road, I will recall a nice brief encounter with Mr. Trump, nearly forty years ago when he was a USFL (United States Football League) team owner and perhaps “channel” him for dating advice.

Stephen “Grover” Cleveland, pictured above and now Donald J. Trump Sr. are the only people to win, lose and then win. U.S. presidential elections. Both did so in 3 consecutive elections, 132 years apart.
