…Rule two, there is no bigger rule than the first rule.
“It must be remembered that there is nothing more difficult to plan, more doubtful of success, nor more dangerous to manage than a new system. For the initiator has the enmity of all who would profit by the preservation of the old institution and merely lukewarm defenders in those who gain by the new ones.”
~ Niccolo Machiavelli
Never has that Machiavelli quote been more apropos than when considering the MAGA movement and the rise of Donald Trump.
Thankfully, we are now in an era when the largest coalition of American voters have awakened to the reality that, to quote the former president: “Economic Security is National Security.”
As we live through the economic mess of a Biden administration hell bent on eroding the middle class of the United States, there are numerous pundits contemplating 2024 Republican presidential candidates other than Donald Trump; consider this group the lukewarm defenders Machiavelli noted.
At the same time the leftist coalition, writ large, are apoplectic about the base of the Republican Party now belonging to Donald Trump. This group consists of those affluent Wall Street agents and politicians set on retaining the profits derived from decades of institutional objectives.
Institutional Democrats hate Trump, and institutional Republicans are lukewarm, at best, in defending Trump. Both wings of the DC UniParty fear Trump. Extreme efforts at control are a reaction to fear. In this outline, I rise to explain why Donald Trump is the only option for the America First MAGA coalition; and I make my case not on supposition, but on empirical reference points that most should understand.
Everything, is about the economics of it.
If you accept that at its essential core elements the phrase “economic security is national security” is true – meaning the lives of the American citizen, person, worker, individual or family are best when their economic position is secure – then any potential leader for our nation must be able to initiate policies that directly touch the economics of a person’s life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. As a result, economic security and economic policy must be the fulcrum of their platform.
Now, look around and ask yourself this question: “What separated Donald J. Trump from the remaining field of 17 GOP candidates in 2016?” An honest top-line answer would be immigration (border control), and his views on American economic policy. In essence, what set Donald Trump apart from all other candidates was his view on the U.S. economy, and that was the driving factor behind ‘Make America Great Again’, MAGA.
Now, look around. Look at every other potential candidate for political office. Is there another person in the field of your political view who comes from the starting point that economic security is national security?
Put aside all other issues and shiny things that may change from moment to moment as the political winds swirl and settle, and ask yourself that question. Who can deliver MAGA, if not the central person who lives, eats, sleeps and thinks about U.S. economic security from every angle at every second of every hour of every day. That’s Donald J. Trump.
Trump knows the extremely consequential sequence of BIG things that lead to a structurally strong American economic foundation.
We don’t have to guess at whether Trump can deliver on that policy sequence, we have reference points.
♦ Donald Trump knew that independent U.S. energy policy was a condition for a strong U.S. economy. He also knew there would be negative consequences to allies and partners if the U.S. energy policy was independent. Trump knew that OPEC nations in general would be negatively impacted, and he knew that Saudi Arabia specifically would be weakened geopolitically. That is why the very first foreign trip by Donald Trump was to Saudi Arabia and the Gulf States that make up the majority of OPEC.
Look at what President Trump did on that trip. First, he assured Saudi Arabia that the United States would stand with the Gulf Cooperation Council and Mid-East nations as it pertained to their security. Trump knew making the largest energy consuming nation independent from foreign oil would be adverse to the economic stability of the Mid-East, and as an outcome, could open a door to destabilization from extremist or ideological groups therein.
Take away top-line economic revenue from Saudi et al, and the leaders of those oil economies have a more difficult time remaining stable and controlling unrest and extremism. Generations of Arab citizens know nothing other than the trickle down benefits of oil exports. President Trump knew this, and he approached our need for energy independence by first assuring the Arab states of his commitment to their stability and safety.
President Trump delivered to those states a list of approved arms and defense agreements during that trip. In essence, what he was doing was putting the promise of security into actual delivery of tools to retain that security. Actions speak louder than words. President Trump also promised to work diligently on peace in the region; a real substantive and genuine peace that would provide security in the big picture.
Over the course of the next few years, Trump delivered on that set of promises with the Abraham Accords. Yes, economic security as national security applies to our allies as well as ourselves. Again, actions speak louder than words.
With the U.S. energy independence program in place, President Trump then moved in sequence to the next big thing.
♦ Donald Trump moved to face the challenge of China. A major shift in U.S. policy that is likely considered the biggest geopolitical shift in the last 75 years. Trump strategically began with Trade Authority 302 national security Steel and Aluminum tariffs at 25% and 10% not only toward China but targeted globally.
The entire multinational system was stunned at the bold step with tariffs. But remember, before Trump went to Saudi Arabia, he held a meeting with Chairman Xi Jinping in Mar-a-Lago. The global trade world was shocked by the tariff announcement, but I’ll bet you a doughnut Chairman Xi was not.
That February 2017 meeting, only one month after his inauguration, was President Trump graciously informing Chairman Xi, in the polite manner that respectful business people do, that a new era in the U.S-China relationship was about to begin. New trade agreements, new terms and conditions were to be expected in the future. The tariff announcement hit Wall Street hard, but not Beijing – who knew it was likely.
U.S. financial pundits proclaimed the sky was surely falling. These tariffs would cause prices to skyrocket, the global order of all things around trade was under attack by Trump. They waxed and shouted about supply chains being complicated and intertwined amid the modern manufacturing era that was too complex for President Trump to understand with such a heavy handed tariff hammer. Remember all of that? Remember how cars were going to cost thousands more, and beer kegs would forever be lost because the orange man had just triggered steel and aluminum tariffs?
Did any of that happen? No. Of course it didn’t. Actually, the opposite was true and no one could even fathom it. Communist China first responded by subsidizing all of their industries targeted by the tariffs with free energy and raw materials, etc. China triggered an immediate reaction to lower their own prices to offset tariffs. Beijing did not want the heavy industries and factories to start back up again in the U.S, so they reacted with measures to negate the tariff impact.
China’s economy started to feel the pressure and panda was not happy. Eventually, as the tariffs expanded beyond Steel and Aluminum to other specific segments and categories, China devalued their currency to lower costs even further for U.S. importers. The net result was something no one could have imagined. With lower prices, and increased dollar strength, we began importing all Chinese products at cheaper rates than before the tariffs were triggered. Yes, we began importing deflation. No one saw that coming…. but Trump did.
While all that initial U.S-China trade shock was taking place, Donald Trump took his next foreign trip to… wait for it…. Southeast Asia.
Just like in the example of the trip to Saudi Arabia, economically-minded Trump told partners and leaders in the export producing countries of Japan, Malaysia, South Korea, Vietnam, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and ASEAN nations to prepare for additional business and new trade agreements with the U.S., as factories inside China might start to decouple. Look at how they responded, they did exactly what Trump said would be in their best interests.
To seriously gather the focus of this SE Asia group, President Trump started direct talks with North Korea and Chairman Kim Jong-un for peace and regional stability. It’s easy to forget just how stunning this was at the time, but generations of people in Asia were jaw-agape at the U.S. President confronting China, engaging with North Korea, and opening his arms to new trade deals with ASEAN partners.
On the world stage of geopolitics and global trade, any one of these moves would be a monumental legacy initiative all by itself. But together, simultaneously, you can see how the entire continent physically stopped midstride and stood staring at this, this man, this American President, who was just about to step across the Demilitarized Zone in North Korea and shake hands with Chairman Kim…. and, wait for it…. they are smiling.
√ Energy security triggered and friends in Mid-East supported.
√ Mid-East peace initiatives triggered.
√ A return of heavy industry and manufacturing security triggered.
√ A confrontation of Chinese economic influence triggered.
√ Stability between South Korea and North Korea, triggered.
√ New trade deals and economic partnerships with Japan and South Korea, triggered.
And then, as if that was not enough… just as multinational investment groups started realizing they needed to change their outlooks and drop the decades long view of the U.S. as a “service driven economy”… just as they realized they needed to start investing domestically inside the United States for their own growth and financial security… as if all that wasn’t enough… President Trump kicks off an entirely new trade deal and renegotiated standard for all North American trade via NAFTA.
We don’t have to guess at whether Donald Trump can put together a program to ensure Economic Security is National Security. We don’t have to guess at whether Donald Trump can deliver on economic policy. We don’t have guess if Trump’s policy platform, proposals and initiatives would be successful. We have the experience of it. We have the results of it. We have felt the success of it.
We also don’t need to guess at who is the best candidate to lead Making America Great Again, we already know who that is.
There is no other 2024 Presidential Candidate, who I am aware of, who could possibly achieve what Donald John Trump has achieved, or who could even fathom contemplating how to achieve a quarter of what President Trump achieved.
Do not tell me Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is a better option. DeSantis is an unknown commodity, a blank slate, when it comes to big picture economic outlooks. DeSantis doesn’t have an economic agenda inside his administration from which to contemplate or analyze his economic views.
Governor Ron DeSantis has a lot of really good skills and policies on the domestic front unique to his position in Florida; however, it is not a slight toward him to point out he has never expressed any larger economic proposal that would give any confidence in a national economic policy.
Look at the sum total of it, and there’s so much more that could be outlined to what Donald Trump achieved and could yet still achieve, it’s not even a close question.
And that my friends is exactly why Donald Trump is under relentless attack from both wings of the UniParty in DC. Additionally, it is clear the Wall Street Republicans are trying to position Ron DeSantis as an alternative to another Trump term. Look carefully at the current advocates for DeSantis, Nikki Haley and/or Kristi Noem, and you will note every one of those early voices are attached to favorable Wall Street politics and multinational corporate advocacy.
Look at what Donald J. Trump was able to achieve while he was under constant political attack. Just imagine what Trump 2.0 would deliver.
They, the leftist Democrats and Wall Street Republicans, are yet again absolutely petrified of that.
The part of President Trump’s strategy that is always overlooked is that he supported, nurtured and enabled a was possible the replacement of national leadership within OPEC and other nations, which was the core of the Global Volatility funded by Obama and that was kicking back aid money into the pockets of Congressional Uni-Part members, Obama, Biden, the Clinton Foundation, et al. One of President Trump’s major international achievements was to enable other nations to focus their own internal “MAGA” movements vs causing international volatility.
President Trump literally acknowledged that ALL national governments have an internal Nation First duty and that his job was to find common ground between US MAGA and the INTERNAL goals other Individual Nations.
The new economy in LA is the homeless and low income housing projects. They are going up everywhere. Talking to a developer of about a 100 unit project, he said this was his smallest project. He called it a keep the guys busy project between the big ones. The big ones are 400-600 units.
The new guy running for mayor of LA is running on declaring a state of emergency on day one. State of emergency for the homeless. This will ensure mandates forever.
The new economy will create a permeant flow of government money.
Now couple this with millions crossing the southern border. This is the new economy. It rewards property developers, and minimum wage and no wage people. The middle class of course is excluded from the new economy!
The current CA state law requires cities to build new housing units for homeless people. Some of these projects in LA are upwards of $800,000 per living unit to house one person. Insanity.
bertdilbert: I’ll let the cat out of the bag. It’s Rick Caruso who says he would declare a state of emergency over homelessness. I wrote to Caruso (I used his businss e-mail address; no response, of course), expressing my strong disapproval of the idea.
We cannot trust elected officials or bureaucrats with states of emergency, other than those resulting from natural disasters. Even then, SOEs need very specific and explicit guidelines and timelines.
No you aren’t. They’re counting you to pay for it!
Yes. President Trump knows that a nation must remain sovereign by maintaining its own economic & border security.
We already saw the precarious state of European nations who have been collapsing under the weight of large alien invasions and tyrannical socialist government dictates using the covid Plandemic as the cover / excuse. We are also witnessing that happening here under the illegitimate Biden coup/regime. They want our national sovereignty dissolved and this country to merely be a satrapy under a Eurocentric One World Government.
I am absolutely convinced the “color revolutions” in the ME, with the arming of ISIS by the U.S., were for the purpose of driving migration up into Europe.
I think Fast and Furious was just an operation to monitor a much larger effort, to funnel military grade weopons to the Cartels, in order to ratchet up the violence, again in order to drive a massive increase in illegal immigration, this time up into the U.S., as “economic migration” wasn’t sufficient.
They were HERDING people, and funding the operations for human smuggling, AND “ressetlement” of the “refugees”; it was ALL INTENTIONAL.
Your theories can’t be dismissed given the high levels of corrupt cooperation between malign players in far too many positions of power in western governments.
I agree with you, GB. I recall President Trump saying that if he is president again he will actively seek to remove all illegal aliens who came in under Biden. I just hope he doesn’t just stop with the Biden alien army but goes for all of them.
Patty, I thought at the latest rally he said he’d remove them all. My impression was not just those brought here by Biden. Let’s pray it happens.
One of the main, underlieng arguments for “free trade” is;
“Free Trade stops WARS”.
The idea being that countries that are buying and selling products to each other, don’t exchange bullets and bombs, cause it would interupt commerce.
Firstly, of coarse we know what they CALL “FREE” trade isn’t free or fair, is corrupted and CCP in particular USED Trade as a weopon for Unconventional warfare.
Beyond that, for the U.S. to pursue a National (and Nationalist) policy of “Economic Security is National Security” actually IS a way of avoiding wars, as other countries responce indicates.
PDJT was the first President in a long time, to NOT engage us in new wars, and to reduce tensions around the World, as Sundance has outlined.
And yes, I agree with Sundance on PDJT vs ANY other candidate in 2024.
My only reservation is, unless we wrest control of the RNC and Congressional Republican leadership away from the Rinos, I fear a second PDJT term, will be a reprise of the first, with Mitch frustrating his efforts, every step of the way, and another Brandon in 2028 quickly undoing his many accomplishments.
On a side note, PDJT campaigned, prior to the 2020 election, for National School Choice, presumably a voucher system.
I believe if we had had true representation, we SHOULD have won this debate, 10 years ago, and with the way the Teachers have exposed themselves as leftist indoctrinators, we should easily win this battle, on the second go around.
In addition to destroying the Public teachers union, a major force for the Dems, this could bring a LOT of “inner city” parents into the MAGA movement.
In order to insure PDJT’s second term isn’t a reprise of his first, we MUST destroy the Rino’s.
Trump is the only one for me.
Nothing can separate my vote from Trump … except a “funny” vote tallying machine
Love is an emotion. Logic is excluded. Protect yourself at all times.
All those “experts”, pundits, and know-it-alls who sneered and pontificated about how wrong President Trump always was and how disaster was sure to follow…
Dunning-Kruger Effect
…a type of cognitive bias where people with little expertise and ability assume they have superior expertise and ability. This overestimation occurs as a result of the fact that they don’t have enough knowledge to know they don’t have enough knowledge.
They knew nothing then, and still know nothing. Which is why we as a country we are in the sorry state we’re in.
Exactly 💯 💯
I’m In!!
May God let it be so.
Remember too how Trump was viewed by many of us as an untested candidate, a donor to Hillary, a New York Republican etc. He had to prove otherwise.
Ron will have to do the same and round out his ideologies in public policy specifics. So far he’s been a true brawler and showing wisdom in his appointees. Trump continues to confound me in that area.
His full throated endorsement of Barr, when all of us could easily see differently, greatly impacted my sense of his judgement. Of course he’s miles beyond the other 2016 candidates, but I won’t marry that nomination for 2024. I’m all ears, and eyes for a fresh start. If Trump can hold his own, great! Let’s get him back.
Please remember that Trump could only choose between nominees that the Senate would confirm. He couldn’t choose the best person. Only choose among those he was allowed to choose from. So, my guess is he picked the “least worst” person from a pool of drooling idiots and toadies all aligned against him.
The only way around this is to gain control of the Senate with MAGA people, and/or, he fires every senior person who will not “get on board”, then nominates the “least worst” again, then fires them, rinse/repeat, until there are no more losers left to consider.
One of his first actions ought to be to interview, personally, every possible acceptable candidate , in every agency, and then appoint them to SES positions. Then “detail” those people into every key agency possible. Let them get 1 yr under their belt. That could be the future pool of nominees for critical position after he’s cleared the decks of everyone else in line.
The problem Trump had was not a merely a Senate confirmation process but few were willing to work in his administration plus Trump has poor judgment on choosing who to surround himself as advisors. Do you honestly think John Bolton was a wise choice? That was a White House senior staff position that doesn’t require Senate confirmation. Was the decision to keeping Eric Ciaramella, Biden’s ex staffer, on his national security council was smart? He is the alleged whistleblower that triggered the first impeachment. Was keeping Lt Col Vindman a smart decision? Again these aren’t Senate confirmed positions. Do you think not asking for the resignations of ambassadors, like commonly done, was smart. It why Marie Yanocovich stayed in Ukraine. How about Trump’s decision not to ask every US Attorney to resign on his first day in office like many of his predecessors did?
Then we can move to cabinet nominees. Rex Tillerson was Trump’s first Secretary of State. He despised Trump as a candidate and often spoke out against him. Yet Trump nominated him and he barely made it through the confirmation process. He nominated Pruitt and he was a disaster and another who was thought to be incapable of running the EPA. The Senate was correct. Trump nominated Gina Haspel as his 2nd CIA Director even though Durham found his she and another colleague destroyed the videos of the water boarding done during the Bush administration. Her confirmation hearing was rocky but she eventually made it through. So many Trump nominee confirmations were held back a year and many resigned their commitments because they could no longer wait for a confirmation vote. The confirmation process became so contentious that McConnell had to abolish the filibuster rules for lower cabinet appointments because so many positions were left unfilled 2 years into Trump’s presidency. At the time Covid was declared a health emergency in the US a key position in HHS was still without anyone and the Senate had to take an emergency vote to confirm a person.
While I liked Trump’s policies and voted for him in 2016 his employee choices left much to be desired. Also if you’re wondering who I voted for in 2020 it was no one. I intended on voting for Trump in person on Election Day but was hospitalized days before the election and missed voting completely. I truly didn’t want Biden and was hoping for better cabinet and senior advisor choices since Ginny Thomas and others started giving Trump input during his last 18 months of his presidency.
President Trump 2024!!! PERIOD!
.
His full throated endorsement of Barr…
Oh please stop. What was he supposed to do? Make a public squabble with Barr and reap even worse? What is it that people don’t understand about having to put forth nominees for various positions that would not be nixed by the Senate et al. (How did GEN Flynn work out.)
.
I’m thinking most of this comes with backroom agreements. Mitch to Trump – you can’t have X, but we’ll take Barr AND let him close out the Mueller investigation. What was unsaid – we won’t let him touch any other investigations against the Democrats or Republicans.
Impressive!
Pretty sure this is a narrative started to divide Trump and DeSantis supporters. A split that would weaken both. Best to put paid to that right now…good.
.
I am a HUGE DeSantis supporter — as governor of Florida!
.
I’d support DeSantis as Trump’s V.P.
But only if he really wants to learn from the Great Man.
Imagine that. 12 more years of Making America Great Again.
And a hell of a lot of swamp cleaning.
He’s smart and strategic.
To jump the SS Florida now as he is just getting started would send the wrong message…that being, he’s in politics not governance for the people who elected him. That he went into this solely to use his governorship as a stepping stone to higher office.
In other words, that he’s just another career, self interested, money grubbing opportunist…
And NONE of that is he.
He’s an honourable and capable CEO who has been in Congress and understands perfectly what the occupants of that corrupt body are. And he wants no part of it.
I think he’ll certainly run one day. But for the moment, he is working FOR his state. I admire his principles and dedication. There are no flies on DeSantis. Whatever is best for his state, he’s doing…and at speed.
How lucky are the people of Florida? Extremely!
I would love to see DeSantis as VP for four years so he can learn from Trump, then be POTUS for eight years.
On the gateway pundit.
Sundance again demonstrates the complicated is in plain sight.
Thank-you.
Everything President Trump did was to improve the USA. Everything Resident Biden has done is to destroy the US economy and cover up his family’s crimes.
When I was a kid we used play stump the chump. Well nowadays the chumps are trying to stump the Trump and it’s not working out very well for them.
Actually rule #2 should be there can be no economic security or national security without energy security. They are attacking all three.
✅️”Economic Security”
✅️Due to President Trump’s successful energy policy from day 1 it is apparent to me that President Trump has “Energy Security” as a foundational part of his “Economic Security”
Look at what Donald J. Trump was able to achieve while he was under constant political attack. Just imagine what Trump 2.0 would deliver.
Lord, hear my prayers.
Amen.
Amen
PT is the GOAT, period!
energy security = national security.
food security = national security.
economic strength provides soft and hard power.
DJT the King of common sense.
The reasons I chose Trump early on from among all other contenders for the Republican nomination in 2016 were his pugilistic debating skills and intelligent positions which I believed were necessary to defeat the existential threat known as Hillary Rodham Clinton. Everything else he accomplished were added miracles. I like DeSantis, but it is yet unknown whether he can take on the snake pit in D.C. and the globalists around the world with anything close to President Trump’s extraordinary combination of fight and genius-level intelligence.
The reasons I chose Trump early on ..
…’’ transcript of the remarks by Donald J. Trump on immigration in Phoenix ….
“Then there is the issue of security.
Countless innocent American lives have been stolen
because our politicians have failed in their duty
to secure our borders and enforce our laws like they have to be enforced.
I have met with many of the great parents
who lost their children to sanctuary cities and open borders.
So many people, so many, many people. So sad.
They will be joining me on this stage in a little while
and I look forward to introducing them.
These are amazing, amazing people.
Countless Americans who have died in recent years
would be alive today if not for the open border policies …..”
“Do not tell me Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is a better option. DeSantis is an unknown commodity”
I’d be perfectly content to keep him as our Gov for a couple of decades or so. Ain’t happening but I would be content. DC is a wild card for most.
Donald Trump is not a former president. He is POTUS until 21JAN25.
So true and thank you for pointing this out so eloquently! Happy Easter.
“There is no other 2024 Presidential Candidate who I am aware of who could possibly achieve what Donald John Trump has achieved, or who could even fathom contemplating how to achieve a quarter of what President Trump achieved.”
Amen.
“Additionally, it is clear the Wall Street republicans are trying to position Ron DeSantis as an alternative to another Trump term.”
BINGO! It’s been clear for some time that the Deep State (of both parties) would love nothing more than for Trump supporters to dump him in favor of DeSantis. That alone has made me very wary of the guy. Plus, I just get a funny vibe from him. He’s a bit too polished; like a skilled actor playing a role. He may be the real deal, but I’m not convinced.
Has DeSantis weighed in on 2020? Has he ever said if he thinks Biden legitimately won? Or has he avoided the topic?
Exactly 💯 💯
✅️ As a purely political barometer I would say this explicitly defines and separates at least the new minimum of political expression from our list of Primary candidates.
✅️If a politician is ready to leave behind the fraud and antiConstitutional elections of 2020 without significant commentary on it and current plans to support accurate elections and Ballots 🗳 security then those politicians are not ready for MAGA which demands all political bureaucrats current and consistent efforts regarding security for elections(they are supposed to be our public servants in protecting our Constitutional Republic).
✅️Without accurate and secure elections we have no real practicing Constitutional Republic.
I’m not a fan of demanding Republican politicians publicly declare 2020 was stolen as some sort of purity test… there are plenty of scenarios where that simply won’t help get them elected or get their agendas passed. DeSantis has been doing a great job for Florida and he’s always been gracious and positive about President Trump. He also has the support of a significant % of Democrats in most Florida polls.
We’ll need somebody like DeSantis in 2028. That gives him plenty of time to demonstrate whether he’s really that guy or not. I’m all in for Trump in 2024 and so are the overwhelming percentage of GOP primary voters. The manufactured Trump vs. DeSantis debate is intended to harm Trump, sure… but it’s also intense to harm DeSantis. I’d rather avoid both of those outcomes.
i don’t care what any of them are trying to promote—-I don’t think De Santis WOULD RUN against PDJT. Has anyone asked him that question ?
By trying to split off some of Trump supporters to support DeSantis is part of their divide and conquer strategy.
Thank you Sundance! I was hoping, just a few days ago that you would revisit your “Economic Security IS National Security” essay very soon.
I’m going with –
you read my mind. 🧐
Others talk.
Trump does.
American does not need more talkers…
America needs more doers.
America needs TRUMP
Thank you, yes, it’s the doing that matters. So sick of “we need to have a conversation” Republicans. I want people who get it done!
while we are busy giving credit for the American spirit to Trump, let us also remember that through ups and downs, the desire for liberty and justice and love of our God-loving liberty-loving nation has always been with us. All I’m saying is, let’s not forget that our fathers and forefathers also struggled, bled, suffered, sacrificed, and died for the just cause of liberty and prosperity. By contrast, we of today have not yet begun to pay the price for liberty. Trump can’t save us from it, nor suffer it in our place. We must all declare where we stand, put our feet down, and damn the consequences, be willing to sacrifice too, in order to preserve liberty.
A while back someone posted a list of President Trump accomplishments. It was quite lengthy. Need to re-post so I can print and hand out to friends. Much appreciated in advance. FJB!!
https://trumpwhitehouse.archives.gov/trump-administration-accomplishments/
Thank you!
You can always check the CTH archives search too.
Sundance has written more indepth, and more brutally honest analysis about President Trump than anyone else out there.
This is a very good resource –
https://www.magapill.com/
Thanks Rob!
Just ask Mr Google.They are available.
One of PDJT’s most fun accomplishments was when he blocked Pelosi’s trip overseas and that forced the bus she was on to circle the Capitol building until all the other congressfolk and their aids finally had to get off the bus. Good times, good times.
That move still makes me laugh!
This is still the best twitter thread to date, and every now and then it’s good to remember all the things PDJT did in such a short period of time:
https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1295146699321745408.html
I have been, and continue to be, a huge Trump fan. I have always believed that his being in this place at this time is not an accident. As someone else said, God doesn’t choose the best man, He chooses the best man for the job. That having been said, I tire of all the rah rahs about how the demunists are going to get their clocks cleaned etc since to the best of my knowledge Dominion machines have yet to be removed from any states who used them in 2020. I’m in GA and Kemp has even expanded Dominion’s presence here by hiring them to count the mail-ins. So why should I believe things will be different this time around? As for my political hero Donald J. Trump… I fear for him. I fear that if we were able to surmount the voter fraud and he were elected, the 4th branch of our “government” would have absolutely no qualms about ensuring that he would no longer be available to finish out the 1st year of his term. I continue to pray for him on a daily basis.
👉 Apparently President Trump has “counted the cost” and is courageously and intelligently leading the MAGA movement for another victory 👈.
👍At least he’ll have the “at least he tried” attempt to MAGA. Some of us are already giving up and at best won’t even try and apparently will even work against President Trump for some type of Globalist style uniparty acceptable political class of candidates 👌.
✅️So don’t “fear” for President Trump s georgia but rather work and pray for him and his ongoing efforts to MAGA.
It looks you have written a new dictionary definition for the word, “Supine’.
Very few people can distinguish prone from supine.
In your case, it surely doesn’t matter.
Huh?
I’m convinced
SD, what about a Trump / DeSantis ticket in 2024? Would you support that? I think it would be a good option and might help counter DJT being 78 years old at election time.
Three words: You. Are. Wrong.
If the Republican Party rules that Impeached Presidents cannot be candidates, how to overcome that.
Am. I. Wrong.
Sundance has argued, again and again, that the Republican Party is a private organization.
Amazingly, this simple argument never sinks in, with Will_in_CA types.
s
Run along, troll.
Run.along.troll.
I fixed it for you
You might actually want to study the Constitution. Denying future office is an optional penalty that can be applied when convicted by the Senate after a House impeachment.
President Trump stands fully Constitutionally eligible to be reelected and serve a second term.
Impeached is like being indicted. Yes, he was indicted but he was found not guilty each time. On what basis is a person found not guilty ineligible for president?
Trump. No one else.
I’ve seen some grumbling about his endorsement of Oz, but Trump will back the candidates he thinks have the greatest chance to win the general election. Fighting the good fight and losing is still losing.
Trump 2024
You make a good case for Trump 2024.
“DeSantis is an unknown commodity, a blank slate, when it comes to big picture economic outlooks. DeSantis doesn’t have an economic agenda inside his administration from which to contemplate or analyze his economic views.”
Still, I’m a fan of what I’ve seen from DeSantis so far. I’d like to hear him articulate his big picture economic outlooks. It’s still early and we don’t yet know if Trump is running.
One of the main reasons I am for President Trump is his ability to stand up to the likes of Xi and win. Very few politicians, if any, have the business acumen President Trump possesses. As Ann Landers used to say, If it isn’t broken, don’t fix it.
Years ago when PT first came down the escalator , whom I knew nothing about, it was so very confusing time.
Breitbart was the go to for some insight. Someone posted a link to this sight and pow! We ran towards the light.
Candidate Trump was written off every debate and primary. We hung tough here in CTH, however.
We are about to go through another roller coaster ride. Fasten you seat belts and stay focused on the desired outcome.
It was not long after that ride down the escalator that I knew he was different.
Want to know when that was? It was noted by our own Sundance when then, candidate Trump started discussing immigration and economic policy.
Indeed R F
And I remember he was always taking about how China was scr*wing our country seven ways from Sunday. First time I ever heard any one point that out.
I also remember his comments about blaming China less for taking advantage than our (supposedly) elected members of Congress selling us all down the river.
That’s exactly how I arrive at the Treehouse, as well! It’s been my daily news source ever since!
A symphony written by the greatest of geopolitical composers.
Don’t know what will happen in 24. Don’t know if I will even be around. I hope DJT is President Trump in 24. I know living in fl. I feel somewhat protected from the evils of this horrific group of idiots of that is in charge of our USG. Desantis certainly seems to have fl. best interests in his decision making. Live your best life day by day. For me that is all I can handle @ the moment. Pray and pray more.
😳Best let President Trump know before he loses to these Globalists and and their wicked devices again.🤔
Otherwise I’m going with the already proven MAGA President Trump.👌👍😎
The districts using Dominion voting machines has actually gone up.
I’m convinced.
There is no human being on earth who can save the sinking Titanic that is the former USA. When the totally corrupt and utterly criminal US government allowed The Big Steal to happen on January 6th 2021 our country died then and there. The Constitution is a dead letter. The Bill of Rights is no longer in force. The Rule of Law is over. There will never be another legitimate election ever again. We can wish it were otherwise but rational men must face the facts. Like the fall of thr Roman Empire that was in its final downward spiral, we can only watch as our country becomes more and more untenable. The only way forward for those remaining people who value their liberty and freedom is nullification, non-compliance and secession from the tyrannical junta Uniparty that has usurped power in Washington DC.
✅️You MAY be correct regarding the current endgame results BUT…
✅️You WILL be accurate if we don’t work and pray and support our MAGA President Donald J Trump in this battle for our Country’s survival.
✅️You AND all of us commenters on this site won’t be posting any more comments nor reading anymore Sundance posts 📫 if President Trump fails along with us in this MAGA movement.
✅️😳 You AND all of us will be too busy trying to survive the new Globalist American antiConstitutional government.☠️😵💫
Raptors, two words that will bypass your negativity.
Faith and God.
Bless you.
While the early Christians accepted their fate against the immensity of the Roman State, I’ve yet to hear the Christian theologian who argued why defeat and destruction was inevitably locked into Christian scripture.
Instead, I am baffled why Christians meekly accept their continual defeats in the face of a tiny number of radical leftists. I’m sure you’re finally the Christian who can explain why you guys only retreat?
All that … and Biden has ducked it up completely in a tad over one short year. Imagine for a moment if Biden & Company were as dedicated to fulfilling the oaths of office they swore on the Holy Bible, as they are to their agenda of American emasculation. We’d be resting peacefully at night, knowing our assets were secure, our borders were a reality, and our allies were truly our allies. FJB. FBHO. FKS.
.
BRAVISSIMO!! Perfect.
.
In a word, WINNING!
Time to start taking our winamins so we’re ready.
TRUMP 2024
Donald Trump will never be POTUS again.
Although it is inarguably true that the economic policies of his administration were a resounding economic success for this country, what were the political, social, and cultural consequences of his presidency? Those consequences are as clear as the economic successes.
Now, if one were to accede that the 2020 elections were fraudulent (don’t kill the messenger), and one were to agree that extreme control is a reaction to fear, it is not unreasonable to believe that those now in power would stop at anything -ANYTHING – to prevent DJT from ever occupying the White House again. In fact, one could reasonably argue that the preventative foundations have been, and are, being laid as we speak, write, and read.
It is Easter weekend ladies and gentleman, but the United States is not the Christ – it will not rise again. It may, however, be born again, but as a continent of disunited siblings.
I bet you’re a lot of fun at parties.
I’m generally not invited to parties because of my facility with the tossing the wet blanket. Sometimes I simply can’t help it…the tea leaves haven’t lied since the lunar eclipse of July, 4 2020, and I try not to either.
If history (most recent history especially) is any indicator, we are living in the shadow of the American century. Perhaps we will be able to salvage some of what was good when the dust finally settles.
P.S. I appreciate this site very much, and thank you for your work…and for not removing my post. That gives me hope.
I love you, man!
Despite the fruit juice on the keyboard..
Hanging parties, maybe.
They’d have to illegally keep Trump off the ballot, or kill him. In any fair election following the dementia patient’s disasters, Trump will annihilate all comers.
Desantis is the Uniparty’s play, I agree. They know a splitter strategy can’t work now, so how do they play it? They probably have to destroy Trump somehow.
Without exception, the “political, social, and cultural consequences of his presidency” were the direct result of the Deep State FBI, CIA, NSA, MSM, DNC, Hillary Clinton, Adam Schiff, John Warner, Mitch McConnell, etc, and the nest of rabid cowards protecting their ill gotten power and control. It was created out of thin air by anti American scum, not by DJT.
Blaming Trump for the evil wrought by others is imbecilic in the extreme.
And you are Wrong.
The United States WILL rise again, by the Power of Christ and the Will of God, if America will humble itself unto Him.
Majes’ comment is similar to Cicero’s a bit earlier.
Interesting thing to me is that neither comment contradicts Sundance’s post. They are about completely different things.
Sundance outlined PDJT’s very impressive accomplishments. He made the case that for us there should be no contest between Trump and DeSantis. And he mentiioned that the elite / left viscerally fear Mr. Trump.
I agree with everything Sundance wrote. I hope I’ll have a chance to vote for Mr. Trump again.
That said, there is the separate question raised by Majes and Cicero: How can President Trump govern given the swamp’s proven effectiveness in sandbagging him? How can he even be elected considering Dominion and other voter fraud?
I hope that at some point this question can be addressed separately, as it deserves to be, and not be confused with the important fact of President Trump’s virtues — which I do not dispute.
President Trump knew and warned us about voter fraud before November 3, 2020; yet, he is still holding rallies in 2022 saying, “ the best is yet to come.” Why would he do that if there is no realistic chance for him to be our President again? If it’s impossible in our eyes, it’s a challenge in his eyes. He knows something…and this is what pulls me out of the depths of gloom that I read about each day.
Our daily prayers to our Heavenly Father for our President Trump will continue.
Exactly 💯 💯
I hope you are right about what PDJT knows. I’m praying along with you.
We didn’t know how big the steal would be until it was over. We do now, and so does a lot of the country. It’s my believe it can only be successful once. If they do the same things again-millions of votes dropped at 3am for the Democrat- I don’t believe this time the public would wait to see if all the lawsuits etc would make their way thru the courts by early December. I believe there’d be an uprising in all the state capitols over the electors and fraudulent ballots, and then if necessary in DC.
I just don’t think people will take another steal lying down. At the point that 2024 rolls around, inflation will be crushing 90% of the people in this country and more overseas. Germany has had 30% inflation over the last year. If our statistics were more honest we’d have the same number. Would anyone believe a majority of people voted for the Dem? Not on your life they wouldn’t.
😵💫 Please read my post above for Cicero 🤔
Please watch our 6 if at least you are not walking point.
We need the support for our Constitutional Republic Citizens.
You’re right. And apart from the reason you mention, the 19th Amendment would have to be repealed for him to get elected again in a legit election. Too many women, particularly college-educated women, simply won’t vote for him no matter what. It’s simply not going to happen. There just aren’t enough of us.
Boy, oh boy, are you wrong! “simply won’t vote for him no matter what. It’s simply not going to happen. There just aren’t enough of us.”
Boy, oh boy are your wrong!! But I repeat myself.
IF the powers that be are in charge and IF the machines continue to be rigged, you are correct.
BUT IF, We the People, having one vote each, legally vote, and our vote is correctly counted, then it’s Donald J. Trump all day long and 6 times on Sunday.
Just sayin’.
What WE need to figure out is how to defeat the Swamp at every level, starting locally and working outwards, because our lives do depend upon it. Remember that Zuckers, Bezos, and yes, even the Walton children, are what we used to call “new money”. They’d sell their souls for a buck, and they have. There used to be a thing called Integrity and it is in very short supply. As well, money is not the root of all evil. It is the LOVE of money that is the root of all evil.
my two cents
Finally, a sensible response.
I rarely check back because most answers come from trolls.
Supine versus prone? Welcome to the inane.
Born Free: we need to recapture the country at every level.
Rush Limbaugh was plagued with boycott campaigns. He demonstrated to advertisers that the boycotters were a few people, sometimes one nut. The advertisers were sadly affected by even one boycotter.
Trump is over. The country must be recaptured.
Thanks for the affirmation on President Trump!
President Trump saved our Constitutional Republic when he made the personal decision not to concede the fraudulent 2020 election.
Everything else follows that.

This man Sundance writes one hell of picture, puts out his thoughts on paper, stands to defend them and adjusts when he discovers an error in his thinking.
A real American, sharing his thoughts, bringing others’ thoughts to his site, arguing with those who disagree, but only presenting sane, objective ideas, facts and opinions.
This person, Sundance, is more than a breath of fresh air–he is a vitamin powerhouse! Look at what he and his immediate staff have created for all visitors to explore, contemplate and participate…
I love this site and have since I first found it years ago!
Thank YOU Sundance for this Beautiful Post!
Every word is TRUTH!
Let all the NAYSAYERS out there who cry that PDJT has no idea what he is doing, he listens to bad advisors, he cannot possibly know or understand who he is endorsing or why he has chosen that MAGA candidate for this or that office.
Just keep laying it out there Sundance.
Easter Blessings coming your way.
if not Prez Trump ..then who….
I can not think of anyone I want in that office but him……..I hope he runs and wins and has learned better who to trust ,,,,whom to appoint….
like all us humans he has and will make mistakes…….
Great outline. Short and sweet.
And MAGA brings peace, too. Instead of the globalist blob’s mindless expansion of NATO, we get Trump’s 3 Seas Initiative in eastern Europe, economic growth and competition instead of war. Same thing in Asia, economic competition and cooperation instead of corruption and saber rattling.
That’s why the blob wants Trump destroyed. They like the corruption, the wars, the chaos, and they hate competition. They just want to harvest money and power from their subjects.
One key that we miss is that Trump’s change represents a return to America’s Greatness.
Trump works to restore America.
But, there is NO status quo.
Everyone else is working to change America.
Change for the worse.
Make us weak.
Return us to European control.
Impoverish us.
Destroy all that is good about America.
More than Trump, They are the ones trying to install and manage a new system.
That is a big weak point.
Fine. We know Trump’s strengths; his foreign policy achievements are Nobel-worthy. But he did not bring manufacturing back to the US in any meaningful sense. He made some terrible appointments on the domestic and foreign intelligence fronts, appointments that not only did not serve his presidency but weakened it.
He did not win re-election. He was fired, if only because he and his people did not pay attention to the political game.
And I do not buy the argument, boo-hoo, that he was limited in his appointments by Mitch and crew. We don’t know that because he didn’t even take the fight to them. He “made a deal” with them, apparently, and see where that go him. Haspel and Barr and Wray and endless Russia, Russia, Russia.
Like me, President Trump is getting up there in years and it is probably time to let a younger man take the reins. If Trump runs, I’ll support him, but he would make a great Secretary of State and senior advisor to DeSantis. And by the way, DeSantis has more political experience and conservative bona fides than Trump did when he first ran; it took me a while to warm to Trump because I was convinced he was a wolf in sheep’s clothing, a Democrat at heart.
*** “But he did not bring manufacturing back to the US in any meaningful sense.” ***
.
Sure he did, foreign capital investment spiked 18% almost immediately. That’s a decades long process, but one the multinationals recognized immediately had initiated, as the data showed. And Tier 2’s and Tier 3’s follow that lead eventually, and then small shops and material men, and then services, then donut shops and gas stations.
But it all starts with those big capital investments.
Uh, what about American corporations building their products in America? Go on Amazon (don’t hate me for that) and try to find any electronics or mechanical product not made in China. Even our trading partners, say South Korea, have many of their products made in China.
President Trump 2024! 🕊💕
