America deserves a badass commander-in-chief right now: Vivek Ramaswamy

Washington, Nov 7 (PTI): Of the view that the comeback of president-elect Donald Trump is the American comeback, entrepreneur-turned-politician Vivek Ramaswamy on Wednesday said that the country deserves a "badass commander-in-chief" right now and that’s exactly what it got. Trump, 78, not only won the November 5 presidential elections in both popular votes and electoral college votes but also got the Republican Party control of the House of Representatives and the Senate. “Here’s the reason why Donald Trump won by the largest margin of any president in modern history. He’s not an ideologue. He’s not a policy wonk. He’s an American badass. They tried to DQ him, jail him, kill him (twice). None of it worked.

One of them, he said, was to do with the conduct of war in Gaza. Gallant long said the best way to get the hostages released was to accept a phased ceasefire even if it ...
