TRUMPISM
"[D]efined as secure borders, economic nationalism, interests-based foreign policy, and above all judging every government action through a single lens: does this help or harm Americans." - Journal of American Greatness

THIS DAY IN HISTORY
October 23
1942 – The Battle of El Alamein began: WWII.
The battle lasted until November 3rd, and is one of the first WWII battles the British were able to defeat the Germans...As such it is one of the great turning points of the war in the West European Theatre.
Prior to El Alamein, Churchill muttered these famous words: "Is it really impossible to find a general who can win a battle?"...Sounds like President Lincoln in the American Civil War prior to General Grant.
Luckily, Churchill assigned a new commander to North Africa, replacing General Auchinleck with General Montgomery, who has been rightly criticized for his slowness in the European campaigns...That said, it is undeniable before he was given command of this British army the Allies won scarcely any battles, and after he was given such command the Allies lost hardly any battles.
El Alamein was Monty's finest hour, and showed the brilliance of the soon-to-be British Field Marshal...Unfortunately, it was one of the last times his brilliance matched his testicular fortitude.
