At a national level there is a unique policy priority that almost every politician, on both sides, will avoid discussing. At a national level a single policy priority determines all other national policy outlooks. That policy is the national economic policy.
The national economic policy of a presidential candidate determines all other national policies that flow from the presidential candidate. The national economic policy impacts the obvious policies like energy and trade, and also determines the lesser obvious policies like regulation and even foreign policy.
It is specifically because a candidate’s national economic outlook impacts all other issues, that most national politicians never talk about it.
It would be impossible to support Main Street USA, a popular talking point, and still support the Paris climate treaty, the transpacific trade partnership (TPP) or the transatlantic trade and investment partnership (TTIP).
To avoid the contradictions most democrat and republican politicians avoid discussing their national economic policy. It is an unspoken rule within the billionaire club and donor game, an economic code of omerta amid most political candidates.
President Trump broke the rule and even went so far as to campaign on an America-First economic policy agenda. That core outlook forms the Make America Great Again foundation. MAGA is based on a national economic policy outlook that determines every other national policy as carried by President Trump.
While most Americans may not be able to articulate how the national economic policy impacts them, almost every American feels the consequences through gasoline prices, energy prices, employment, wage rates and the expenses within their everyday lives. To try and hide this reality, often media and economic analysts will say the U.S. President has no control over gasoline prices; however, this is unequivocally false.
Yes, it is true that oil prices are determined by the global market for the product, the supply and the demand. However, the energy policy of the president determines the domestic investment in natural resource development and extraction by oil companies. The energy policy determines domestic supply. The regulatory policy determines the expansion, or lack therein, of oil and gasoline refinery capacity. So yes, it is ultimately the U.S President who determines gasoline prices indirectly through energy and regulatory policy.
If this were not the case, then gasoline would cost nearly the same in almost every nation. It doesn’t. Right now, gasoline in Mexico is almost $1 less than gasoline in the United States, specifically because Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez-Obrador is not trying to reduce oil resource investment, development and/or gasoline refinery capacity.
President Trump was the first presidential candidate who campaigned on a domestic national economic policy. He even went one step further and stated the T-word, tariffs. Yes, the commerce department holds tools to support a national economic policy.
The tariff tool is another aspect to national economics that most politicians avoid discussing because the toolbox is counter to the interests of Wall Street, multinational corporations and hedge fund managers.
For a reference point you might remember the apoplectic fits from financial and economic punditry to President Trump’s 2017 and 2018 steel and aluminum tariffs.
Economic security is determined by national economic policy. National security is also an outcome of national economic policy. Again, President Trump was also the first modern president to put that outlook to work when he said, “economic security is national security,” and then began constructing a foreign policy agenda using the cornerstone of national economic policy. The result was quite remarkable and led to what eventually became the Trump Doctrine.
It was inherently the US national economic policy that underpinned President Trump challenging NATO to meet their financial obligations. It was national economic policy that drove trade policy and created the north American USMCA trade agreement. It was national economic policy that led to countervailing duties on Chinese and European imports. Which had the remarkable effect of actually lowering prices inside the United States.
We began importing deflation through lower priced goods as the value of the dollar increased and China/EU central banks devalued their currency to avoid the impact of tariffs. Asia and the EU also subsidized their export manufacturing with incentives in order to lower costs as an offset to the tariffs, while simultaneously Asian and European companies began investing in production facilities inside the U.S. as a long-term approach to retaining access to the U.S. market. To put it succinctly, this was MAGAnomics at work.
U.S. wages increased, U.S. job growth increased, U.S. energy prices dropped with increased energy development and a massive cut in regulations, and that in turn lowered the cost of domestic goods. Suddenly we were importing goods at lower prices and generating goods internally at lower prices. More MAGAnomic outcomes, which, not coincidentally, was the exact opposite of all Wall Street claims and predictions.
Making America Great Again, was an outcome of national economic policy. At its core, MAGA is a national economic dynamic within a political movement that is represented by President Donald J Trump.
It is critical to understand, the MAGA economic policy is essentially a national policy completely, and uniquely, under the control of the office of the President. The impact to the lives of Americans is a direct outcome from national economic policy. If a president wants to lead an independently wealthy country, he/she applies a very specific economic outlook to all other policy areas including energy, regulation and foreign policy.
It is also true that opposition to President Donald Trump is uniquely connected to the America-First economic agenda.
Multimillion-dollar lobbyist firms like the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the Business Roundtable, along with dozens of economically established SuperPAC’s funded by Wall Street and multinational corporations, are vehemently opposed to the America-First economic agenda.
All of the national politicians and political candidates taking money from these aforementioned groups necessarily bind themselves to a position that stands against the America-First economic agenda.
In essence, if you take money from the multinationals you cannot deliver on MAGA economic outcomes for banking, trade, finance etc. And that’s exactly where we run into the problem.
Because MAGA national economic priorities conflict with the multinational corporations, hedge funds and the Wall Street donor class, all of the politicians who accept the influence checks from these self-interested groups cannot run on, or deliver, a MAGA national economic agenda.
At a local, county and state level you have direct impact on the political policy agenda in your community. Who you elect to the city council, school board, state house and senate as well as governor’s office has an impact on those local and state priorities. However, national economic policy, national energy and trade policy and national foreign policy are not under your control.
As a result, the same skillset, or policy outlook, that makes a governor a successful state politician doesn’t carry into a federal office, [see the example of Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker]. Yes, there are some executive and administration skills that carry over; however, on the bigger issue of steering the national policy agenda, almost every candidate for office comes with the baggage of having accepted donor contributions from a class of people who are paying for economic policy influence.
MAGA cannot be purchased. It is a political outlook that seeks only to enhance the best interests of the American people, regardless of consequence for the multinationals or foreign beneficiaries of globalist U.S. economic policy. Unfortunately, as a result, all of the beneficiaries are aligned to make sure the MAGA economic policy outlook is extinguished. There are literally trillions at stake. This reality underpins the opposition to Donald Trump.
When you understand why the national economic outlook of the President is so important, you can also understand why every political candidate is told not to discuss it by the handlers and campaign managers who are essentially selling their candidate to a millionaire and billionaire donor class who do not want an America-First economic policy agenda.
There is no easy solution for this problem, and ironically this core economic issue is where you find supporters of both Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump in alignment.
Where the Sanders and Trump camps split is on the solution. Team Sanders wants the government to play the role of economic referee (regulation), while Team Trump wants the government to change the rules of the economic game (countervailing duties, tariffs etc).
Before Donald Trump entered politics there was no home for people voting on the issue of a national economic agenda. Both Democrat and Republican candidates had essentially the same worldview on national economic policy because they are all getting money from the same multinational corporate trough. However, President Trump changed that dynamic by presenting an alternative national economic policy called America-First.
For decades middle America was begging the McConnell’s, Ryans, Boehners, Romney’s, McCain’s, Bushes, et al, to make America-Fist economic policies their priority. All of our shouts for help fell upon deaf political ears plugged by corporate donations and influence. Our communities were literally collapsing around us (see rust belt), and yet no national politician would do anything of consequence.
By the time Donald Trump arrived decades of frustration exploded in an eruption of massive applause because he was articulating the central economic issue that was being ignored by the professional political class. The America-First agenda is the restoration agenda. From Trump’s national economic policy, the middle-class erosion stopped. Economic security, specifically U.S. employment stability and wage rates, goes hand in glove with border security and immigration controls.
MAGAnomics is the core of the great MAGA republican coalition, a working-class coalition that cuts through all other distinctions and divisions. It is not republican because of political affiliation, it is “MAGA republican” only because the republican party was the political vehicle selected by Donald Trump to install the policy.
This reality creates a problem for the DC professional political class and the corporate media. Because MAGAnomics is the fundamentally binding principle there is no way to fracture the Trump supporter coalition.
I am a “MAGA republican” by default of my wanting a national economic agenda that looks out for the economic interests of American’s first.
Donald Trump is the irreplaceable Great MAGA King because Donald Trump is the only one who holds that same outlook.
The anti American people, Cabal, wants to torture the majority of the American citizens,
So we will give up our support of an America first economic policy.
Murdering us, is not only on the table, it is part of the plan.
The Lazy Leftist Elitist Slavers (LLES), can’t stop attacking us,
For the decades of criminal acts against human beings,
These evil miscreants have left in their path of destruction to power.
Truth be told, the left counts on these horrendous acts as unfathomable,
As their defense against what they continue to do.
They also count on, the media continually defending the left by spreading the viscous myth,
Their enemies will do the very same horrible deeds, to their supporters, they have inflicted on us.
The lefts desperation of actually being found out, is a very powerful force to contend with.
Take voter fraud, millions of people and organizations are directly involved in the fraud.
The defense of this fraud is, millions of people committing the same crime is, impossible,
Therefore, they must be doing these terrible deeds, for the common good, and thus, it’s not a crime.
We have our work cut out for us to end this evil. AS the war, started in 2016, the next big battle is Nov. 8th. Be careful out there, stay sharp, protect your family and you dirt and be ready for anything.
We have not seen the worst of it, because right now we are ahead of the means to an end.
Sid Powell dropped from Dominion suit. She has the goods on the machine cheat.
Just on venue grounds, not on the merits.
Our commonality as Americans is their demise. I to believe we are ahead of them, despite what the enemy MSM has to say.
What is not discussed intentionally is that outsourced factories increases carbon emissions more than all the vehicle emissions in the world. It does it because the Asian factories use dirty coal for power to manufacture and then they put the goods on huge diesel burning polluting cargo ships to send those goods all around the world.
The Chamber doesn’t want to talk about that. They want to distract you with promoting “carbon credits” or solar power support.
The other dirty little secret that the Chamber won’t allow to be discussed is every single illegal from Mexico or Central America increases his/her carbon footprint 100 fold upon coming to the USA.
The Chamber has been my enemy since I watched them destroy our schools and middle class in California during 80s and 90s. I am glad other people are now wising up to the damage they do.
CO2 is irrelevant. Everyone knows that, even the CoC.
CO2 is plant fuel, an asset to a green world.
My God, with Republicans like these
We are screwed

The multinational corporations who are undermining the USA – were they hurt by America First? The stock market was in better shape when we had POTUSDJT. I’m not sure what was the actual impact on these anti-Trump corporations and why they’d benefit from an idiot traitor like Biden.
Scarlett, Imho
Many of the corporations had already moved much, if not all of, their production overseas. Lost American jobs meant (for one thing) the “MultiNationals” labor and supply “Costs” were less.
Yes, they were doing well under President Trump.
However moving production and supply back to America, as President Trump wanted, would have cut into their profits going forward. (labor costs/American suppliers/more stringent “Regulations” would put an ongoing drag on profits now flowing to said “MultiNationals” who benefited from the offshoring)
Under FJB, there would be no repatriation to America necessary. The flow of $$$ would continue flowing offshore leaving the American economy to flounder.
“Under” FJB, any loss of profit realized by the MultiNationals (because of FJB policies in America) could be subsidized through their bought off politicians (Uniparty majorities in both houses) in the form of “Aid Packages”, “Legislation”, “Pandemics Responses” and other questionable means.. See Ukraine)
Imho, The “MultiNationals” are not interested in Making America Great Again. Imho, their ONLY interest is Making Everyone BUT America Great. (Patriotic commercials and catchy tag lines notwithstanding)
Your answer makes sense…

In a fair election, MAGA would win in a landslide. Just like we did in 2020 and were forced to endure Obamas third term instead.
Posting this here because they Uniparty and their globalist allies will be completely reliant on election fraud this Nov So share.. If MAGA loses its key races, its obviously fraud. Its not because we dont have the support.

Speaking of Jeb where has he been? He’s been awfully quiet these past few years. He has to be up to something. You know the Bush clan will never go away quietly. Anyway, I wholeheartedly agree with your message here, Sundance. The only tragedy of it all is that if and when Trump gets in, we will only have him for one term. So the question, must be asked, who will be the successor of this great movement?
I’m so worried that after this man is constitutionally limited and off the scene, the usual actors will try to go back to the way things were. Probably one way to snuff these new actors in this play out is to ask them about two things: 1. Military adventurism and 2. Trade deals. If they waffle on this, and give the same CATO institute/CoC line about tariffs hurting the consumers, then you know that ain’t our guy.
We’ve got some interesting times ahead.

And we are supposed to believe MAGA is a threat to Democracy?
I’m not a republican and neither are the other 15M people like me that voted for Trump in the last two elections.
If people insist in turning this into a ‘republican’ movement you will be screwing yourself.
If people insist in turning this into a ‘conservative’ movement you are … delusional.
There is only ONE MAGA politician. If you think there are more then you are … well, a typical dumb republican.
There is only one Reagan and one Trump. They come along every 30-40 years. Don’t wreck the opportunity by claiming MAGA as a republican possession.
“Dont wreck this opportunity by claiming that MAGA is a Republican possession”.
Evocative verb choice. Perhaps this verb choice inspired muse can minimize the number of wrecked opportunities caused by good hearted Independent minded Americans who share a similar framing of our current reality.
Since we are facing immediate existential threats we no longer have the luxury of lots of time.
Consequently, in order to successfully Save America from these threats, MAGA needed a vehicle or, more accurately, a fleet of vehicles owned by an already existing entity.
Since we are in a REAL war right NOW and under REAL attack on multiple fronts right NOW, there was and is not enough time to create a new national entity that could or can provide the needed fleet of vehicles needed by MAGA.
The entity that owned and exclusively controlled those vehicles used to be the Establishment Republican Party. With MAGA Republicans doing a hostile take over of the Republican Party, MAGA “Republicans” are gaining control of more and more of those vehicles.
When MAGA “Republicans” are in the drivers seat of the Republican vehicles ALL MAGA hearted Americans are welcome to hop in and join our MAGA road trip adventure.
MAGA Road Warriors. Every MAGA American is welcome.
https://theprecinctstrategy.com.
PDJT and MAGA are a POPULIST movement. Like under Reagan, PDJT & MAGA attracted millions of Blue Dog Democrats, Independents, former MAFA’s like myself/Populists. agree with you
I’m sorry the “raccoon” analogy falls far short of our dilemma.
We have cartel running the government I’m thinking John Wick, or something of that nature to deal with this. These are not hungry wild animals these are evil demonic dirt sacks who have nothing but evil on there minds 24/7. Pedophiles, murderers, human trafficking, drug pushers, Marxist, communist, killers. They plan and prod for years to destroy and kill.
Yeah, Jesus is close or we couldn’t even see these hell beings.
And we, the MAGA voters are his weapons…..
This is political. They know if they hit Trump – he will hit back 10x harder and his MAGA voters will vote back 10x harder!
Trump only attacks those who attack him or are weak kneed/corrupt and stand in the way.
The dude in the pictures with white hair looks like Ted Baxter from The Mary Tyler Moore t.v. show.
I have been reading Treehouse articles for several years. There have been thousands of articles filled with what I consider to be vital information for successfully navigating life in a Country in decline. Truth lives and breathes freely here in the Treehouse. President Trump miraculously reversed the decline against massive forces that are aligned against you and I. I have never commented until now. This article so perfectly encapsulates why our loyalty to President Trump will never change.
That letter is not from the Steve Harvey you think it is.
Trumps the man when it comes to removing vermin, parasites, varmints and swamp creatures. Trump has the plan, he’s the man. Trolls be dammed.
MAGA.
Why did he promote Milley to CJCOS?
Who should Trump have promoted? A specific name, please, not a generic “anyone but Milley!”
Further, CJCOS, is one of those appointments that has to be confirmed by the Senate, which would have involved getting the Turtle Mitch involved. If Mitch wouldn’t bring a nominee to the floor, Trump wasn’t getting him. Most seem to forget that POTUS cannot just appoint whomever he wants. The Senate must confirm most posts that could actually get anything done as far as cleaning house. No way would a Deep Stater like McConnell let Trump appoint anyone who could actually help drain the Swamp.
Did President Trump at any time use the bully pulpit to pressure The Turtle in his home state? He barely won re-election in ‘20.
As I recall, Trump held his nose and endorsed McConnell to drag him over the finish line. McConnell then stuck a knife in Trump’s back.
I don’t think Trump should have helped him. Am I missing some reality besides the knowledge that the deck was stacked against the President. Then what have we got to lose by focusing an all out attack on Mitch?
“Choose, Mitch. Your allies here or your re-election? You have 24 hours to decide and then I’m flying to Kentucky monthly for the next 4 years.”
I dunno; I thought that was always a President’s hole card.
Well there were those 2 impeachments that turdle would have been happy to help out with
Exactly this. How quickly we forget that the entire deck was stacked.
Weak effort.
Try harder.
And if you are incapable, ask them to send someone competent.
Lol
McConnel is sooooo misliked…..
Bingo. Mitch is the reason Trump had a screwy Cabinet! Mitch and Kevin gotta go!
Exactly, but did President Trump hold anti-Turtle rallies in KY to get the voters to ditch Mitch? I don’t think so. I mean if the guy doesn’t wet the President’s beak, you act like a President and declare war on him. Don’t you think?
He was trying to keep the Senate behind his second term.
He did the same for Graham and Tillis and other RINOs as well. He made a deal with the Devil(s) and so it goes. I likened voting for Graham in 2020 to taking one for the team… the idea made me ill but what choice did I have?
I would expect he felt something similar.
When the dust settled (after Georgia special), we got the 50-50 Senate with The Dimwit Witch of the West as deciding vote.
President Trump seemed to make great efforts to work with and assist Republicans… it would have been nice had they done the same for him.
The McStupid Twins!
I love Trump, but IMO he did not handle getting at least some MAGA people in at the top.
Here is one answer to your question: No one.
Leave the spot vacant. If Mitch was unwilling to compromise at least on some of these top roles within Trump’s administration, then F it, put forth the person that Trump wanted and leave it there. When the Senate rejected that name, put forth another MAGA name. Rinse, repeat.
Then, hit the pulpit and explain to the masses what is happening. Put the ball in Mitch’s court and force him to explain to the masses why our “friends” in the GOPe aren’t voting for clearly qualified candidates.
Here is another answer to your question:
Put into these roles temporary leaders. Doesn’t require Senate approval. When the time period runs out, rotate in another MAGA temp leader. Rinse, repeat. This can be done while the Senate plays their games with the submitted names.
Trump did not do either, except a little at the end.
Come on, let’s accept that Trump (no doubt in hind sight for most of us) did not do an excellent job at playing the game and getting a reasonable MAGA leadership in place. Most of them were deep state snakes.
Well then since Trump can’t deliver MAGA who are ya gonna vote for ? DeSantis?
I dont think he will make those mistakes again. He is a counter puncher. But believe me he will use every tool available, this time. Including, appointing temp. Positions to get good people, America first patriots.
Start leaking all the corruption of MCConnel, Miss Lindsay…the list goes on.
You are assuming he had no other obligation, when choosing MAGA leadership. Any leader serves more than one master when making hiring choices.
agreed
Your question applies to a number of questionable people that PRESIDENT TRUMP appointed. With “leaders” like mcconnell, mccarthy, and mcdaniel (RNC), it was a miracle that PDJT was able to accomplish anything. However, the nation got to see how deep, corrupt, and ugly the Uniparty is, and during his next term in office, PDJT will have a much better opportunity to drain the Swamp of that scum. That is true of agency appointments, appointed judges, military promotions, and political endorsements, such as willard. The next term for PDJT will help to cleanse the Republic of the sewage that infests DC.
I would hope that a second term would be better than the first but how would it turn out any differently? Trump still has that SSCI problem described by Sundance. Even with that problem, with Trump’s popularity following election in ‘16, don’t we believe that threatening The Turtle with monthly hit jobs in Kentucky would have softened up his shell and made him cave to Trump’s demand for his own people? Once upon a time Presidents used their power to twist arms. I have a hunch that RDS might be better at that than Mr. Trump, but I can’t know for certain.
Who would I have selected instead of Milley, Wray, Haspel, Fauci, Barr, etc., is something that Trump and his advisors have to answer, or we can ask DeSantis the question.
Just curious how President Trump got most of his way on judges but not cabinet and intel nominations.
I have a hunch that RDS might be better at that than Mr. Trump
I have a hunch DeSantis will be bought. In fact, I don’t just have a hunch, I’ve seen the massive amount of cash he’s raking in.
We will see about that.
But how is another four years of Mr. Trump going to be any different? How is he going to change personnel? And why on earth did he not unseat McConnell? I mean, his campaigning skills should have crushed the chinless wonder.
Hopefuly the following can help repair some still prevalent psyop damage:
Presidents can only hire personal staff without SENATE approval.
Consequently, the SENATE actually HIRES the Presidents administration, including the Presidents cabinet.
In reality, the SENATE refused to even give initial job interviews to some people President Trump wanted.
Hence Trumps war to wrest control from DC Wicked Witch Mitch and his Senate Winged Monkeys. Hence their primary and general election battles. Hence the IMPORTANCE of Trumps guys, especially Oz in PA, winning in 60 plus DAYS.
DC/Federal rules =/= Tallahassee/Florida state rules.
Example?
Trumps/DCs AGs are HIRED by the SENATE and must first be approved by the Swamps most powerful guardians, the SENATE Intel Committee.
Florida’s AGs are ELECTED by the VOTERs.
Btw Team Trump began planning for his second term in 2017 and they havent stopped since.
Since 2021 they ramped up their planning and began shifting from the abstract/theoretical to the operational phases.
In other words, those planning to successfully blitzkrieg the Swamp as soon as Trumps Inaugurated have been building the necessary infrastructures and resources for several years now.
Recently axios published a detailed, well researched two part article by Jonathan Swan.
This two part article covers what’s known about President Trumps second term plans based on publicly available records which Jonathan includes.
Jonathan’s Establishment bootlicker audience reacted to his two part article with fear and raging seethe.
MAGA readers reacted with fierce joy and renewed appreciation for Trumps genius, OCD tier planning, persistence and courage.
Your first eight paragraphs were not necessary.
Thank you for providing the rest. The Swan article might be helpful.
I found Cozette’s post helpful in its entirety.
The Axios article was also very helpful.
Wow! You are the authority, Retired?
He had McConnell’s support with the judges. About the only thing He did support the POTUS on.
President Trumps Project MAGA involves many phases; some overlapping.
Phase One: Drain the Swamp involved REVEALING what had been hidden beneath the Swamps Surface including junk and dangerous Swamp denizens plus Swamp Guardians, Swamp feeders.and Swamp networks.
Project MAGAs Junk Removal and Restoration/Repair Phases depend on enough people UNDERSTANDING what’s being revealed during the Drain the Swamp Phase so they have the MOTIVATION to do the hard, but rewarding, work that the Junk Removal and Restoration/Repair Phases require.
Exactly.
Mr. Trump can only do so much. He exposed the Swamp in all its fetid, murky, nauseating, demonic splendor.
It is up to us to do what is necessary to guard our nation against all of her enemies, foreign and especially, domestic.
We were too busy earning our livings and raising our families and being good, productive citizens to notice how our culture and institutions were being infiltrated by the demonic Left. We were tolerant of the evil oozing into our nation, into politics, business, education, media, and religion.
God used Mr. Trump to show us just how filthy and defiled our nation has become.
We won’t fix this by holding our noses and voting for the lesser of two evils.
We need to personally repent, pray, and ask God for forgiveness and direction.
We need to be guardians of liberty. We need to look to the heroes of our past to see how it was done.
Most of all, we need to follow God and love what He loves and hate what He hates.
There is no outrage—that’s the problem. I’m afraid that him getting to sit after being elected a third time isn’t going to work. The whole government is arrayed against him
He made a choice that he thought was right at the time and it wasn’t.. However in the end it’s bore fruit and this sh## bag Milley has been exposed.
I read where Trump said Milley was the best of his choices but Trump thought the choices were not good choices. Remember Obama was in office 8 years. His SecDefs were the ones recommending officers to the upper echelons of the General Officer Corps. None of the guys in there were promoted w/o Obama’s support. If you despise the military you will not promote the best officers!
Dumb. Even Trump underestimated the insidious awful deep state.
He won’t do so again.
“Insidious awful deep state” didn’t go far enough for me, so it can’t be dumb to ask the questions that I and many others are asking about Trump’s personnel problems that frustrated many MAGA supporters. Please note that a reader suggested I read Axios reporter Swan’s 2-part analysis of the situation where he interviewed Trump personnel who experienced the resistance and are now making plans to adjust. My conclusion about Trump has changed as a result of information that I have been looking for.
Great Awakening?
Narrative shift?
When on the debate stage, he was the adult in the room. So many of the others were unqualified, all, by comparison.
“national economic policy”
Trump’s economic policies and skill at running a national economy – Those were the best part of the Trump Presidency – until the engineered virus was released – and Fauci-Birx-Pence-Congress-China conspired to take it down.
When Trump took over – the US economy was like a classic auto found covered up with a dusty tarp and cobwebs in a barn…a car that had great design and potential, but hadn’t been cranked up for decades.
Trump was like the old mechanic who knew what to do – taking out some bad parts (NAFTA, trade deficits), cleaning, oiling, re-tuning, filling the tank, then starting it up!
Man – how she purred and then roared to life! Record after record in the stock market, new factories, steel industry reignited, hopeful families starting new small businesses….it was glorious!!!
Until the ruthless bastids conspired to stop and put it back in the barn.
These people have shown human life and happiness means nothing to them.
Children, born and unborn, mean nothing to them, but an end to their agenda, for their grotesque gratifications.
They are like their father the devil – they will lie, steal, kill and destroy to achieve their agenda.
BAMN is their motto – By Any Means Necessary.
Well said.
ccp-communists, rinos, and democrats have all of those traits traits.
like Ivermectin works for the body, Trump is for the body politic!
Nice one!
Well stated. Thank you for that.
Classic Alinsky.
Just like carbon credits sold in the EU, so they wish it here. Call it ESG scores. If I have a high score I could sell some for those who need it-AND I just invested another money making scheme, you see. Bingo! We could trade man-made carbon credits just like we trade fiat money.
Qui bono? Well, the wef people, the multinational owners, the soros/sorrows of the world, the kerries, greta, bloomberg, wyss from Switzerland-donor to the loser cheney, and so on.
The little people just buy from the windmill people and scrape by. A new society is being invented!
That’s why MAGA and President Trump are a danger to their world. So simple-yet few see it.

They don’t care about anything but stopping our President Trump.
How I feel about Trump article needs to be sent to every R candidate every election cycle, Steve Harvey nailed it.
Loved it. Very funny.
I was going to pass along this statement by Steve Harvey… but decided to send it directly from a Steve Harvey site. Sadly, it appears Harvey did not write this. Bummer. 🙁
If he didn’t whoever did should step forward as even more now feel that way.
Our way is with Trump and not the establishment as they are the cause our problems.
Biden might cause the awakening that we need as his corrupt administration isn’t fooling anyone anymore.
Remember too that Steve Harvey is a comedian; maybe the statement is supposed to be a joke and that may be why someone else wrote it.
I looked this up too. Snopes has an article written by Dan MacGuill that claims the raccoon comparison article was posted on Facebook by a person from Tennessee named Steve Harvey. It went viral and the comedian Steve Harvey was given credit for it. The cancel culture left descended on comedian Harvey. He denounced having anything to do with it and proceeded to tell everyone who would listen that he did not vote for Trump not was he a Trump supporter. So will the real Steve Harvey who did write it please stand up?
I don’t think anyone of any journalistic or political stature ever claimed that Steve Harvey the comedian wrote it.
It was written by someone else who was 80 y.o. at the time, sent to the RNC but also found its way into and published by the website “100percentfedup.com” in March 2016.

President Trump is like a grand & glorious, patriotic parade going down a tree-lined street in the heart of America and the imposter is like a death march to a prison camp.
I’ll take the former.

I don’t think there’ll be a 🔴 wave — maybe a trickle.
Except AZ, FL, & NV, it isn’t looking good.
People tell me, “I would give up everything for this country.”
Those same people won’t knock on doors or become Election Day Workers.
Unless voters DO SOMETHING, I see no wave.
Is it Scott’s opinion/perspective that people have to be told to vote?
I’ve never thought it made sense to depend on the votes of people who don’t have the brains or gumption or motivation to vote without being told to, without being talked into it. I’m 78 years old and have never missed voting in either a primary or general election since I was first eligible to register.
Why does anyone want such clueless people voting? There must be another associated assumption–that once “talked into voting” they will “vote the way you want them to”.
I suppose those opinions make me a troll now, based on what I’ve seen here lately.
He’s new to politics and thinks like the left. There are lots of people that will come out and vote against the current administration and don’t have to be told. I’m more worried about the vote theft they have planned/perfected.
“New to politics”.
Old politics =/= NOW politics.
Old politics was a variation of team sport entertainment.
NOW politics are actually very REAL battles in our very REAL war with humanity despising psychopaths; battles that determine the fate of millions and whether America, our Constitution and our freedoms continue to exist or perish from this earth.
God bless newbie Scotts ability to SEE reality. God bless his willingness to keep trying to wake up neo antoinette normies who are still unaware of the very GRAVE danger they’re in.
Some people don’t follow politics. They know things are going very wrong in our country but don’t know whom to believe or who stands for what. Knocking on doors is a way to reach those people and get more votes for our side.
It is his opinion that the lazy people need to get their lazy asses off the couch and do something to avoid this coming wave of globalists intent on killing us and installing a one-world communism controlled by them. We are a lot closer to that than people realize. I am donating money, researching, and I am going to see about being a poll watcher. I have researched about Dan’s precinct strategy and we already have a MAGA republican for our precinct. I find it hard to believe people want their kids and grandkids to live in communism because they don’t want to do anything.
Chile says Scott Presler doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
“Although rejection had been expected in Sunday’s plebiscite, the almost 24-point margin was a shocking repudiation of a document that was three years in the making and had been promoted as a democratic effort to replace the constitution imposed by Gen. Augusto Pinochet 41 years ago.”
Rejected 62% to 38%.
Klaus Schwab’s said quite proudly that the current president of Chile, along with Justin (from Canada), are his two “most loyal” subjects.
He just got a dose of reality.
Sorry, but it seems Scott has either been “got to” or, as someone who still thinks like a “progressive”, is just plain stoopid.
Chile =/= United States.
Using referendum results in 1 recent Chilean election to aggressively assert that Scott, of ALL people, “doesn’t knew what he’s talking about”, is as the armchair stated ” just plain stoopid”.
Yes, I am MAGA.
January 6th I changed from Republican to PND-Party No Designation–Independent.
I refuse to associate in any way with the Republican party after the way they treated President Trump.
And by sitting back and allowing the Democrats to
continue to demean MAGA is NOT changing my mind to change my party affiliation.
The majority of the Republican politicians now in office are just as corrupt as the Democrats!
That is why it is important to Vote this November. No early voting, no mail in voting, no drop off ballots.
Vote MAGA approved candidates.
Show up in person!
Get involved in your local and State politics. Be informed and educate others every opportunity you can.
Me, too: MAGA but no longer Republican as of 18 months ago.
Same here. My family registered unaffiliated in 2016 after the first GOP primary debates and then candidate Trump’s treatment by Faux News debate “moderators.” In CO unaffiliated voters can now vote in primary elections. We only stayed Republicans before 2016 so we could vote in primaries.
I’m in PA I changed it back to vote in the primary.
I did the opposite; went from Non-Partisan to Republican in order to vote for MAGA candidates in the primaries; when not registered for designated party, unless in an open primary State, primary ballots are provided depending on what party a person registered to vote in.
You make a very important point. People who live in states with closed/semi-closed primaries really ought to affiliate, just as you did. Thank you for doing that!
Vote all-GOP on your ballot. Get rid of as many Dems as possible. Dems are always worse than Republicans, even RINOs.
Democrats honestly hate us.
RINOs pretend to love us and embrace us while shoving a knife in our backs.
I’d rather face a known enemy than a traitorous “friend.”
Those claiming to support President Trump and his MAGA project while proudly proclaiming they REFUSE to do one of the few things President Trump asked them to do are a puzzling and hopefully small subset of his “supporters”.
Here’s what President Trump asked ALL his supporters to do https://theprecinctstrategy.com.
Hopefully, all of President Trumps supporters will:
Read it. Share it. Do it. Keep praying. AND vote on election day.
Link does not work for me
This InterRegnum Period answers the first question about what happens after Trump, he will be the King Kong of MAGA politics until he dies. But what about the second question … who will follow Trump?
This Is Significant, as I always say, “How did we go from Reagan to 0bama in only 20 years? A: one word, Bush.
Remember the1980s? yeah, that ended quick.
If not DeSantis, then who? we really need to start paying attention now.
Especially so that, “We Don’t get Fooled Again”
Remember 2016-2019? yeeah, that went by quick!
GOPe forced Bush on Reagan, cannot allow again. Reagan accepted for the Big Prize (hmmm, Pence?)
Obtw, it’s so moronic to keep shouting Best Ever — what are you, 10 years old?!
Time itself doesn’t change but 5 years, 10 years, 40 years …
always seems like forever into the future and so near in the rear-view mirror
Freting NOW about an unknowable future is a psyop encouraged and potentially Fatal Distraction.
The more hard edged he is about all this corruption the better
Best to have as much realist smack these sleeping sheep in the face
How’s the grocery bill? Up up and up
“Peace, prosperity, liberty and morals have an intimate connection.”

Who ya gonna cal? DJT NOW!
LIKE NO OTHER, Donald Trump is the “indispensable man.”
There are so many good lines in this article. I plan on using them.
well said, sundance, very well said.
Here in West Palm Beach, President Trump has solid support across the Republicn spectrum. He is a Unifier.
He has awesome hair.
In my limited personal experience the anti-Trumpers are not part of the elite (I just don’t know any elites) but rather people who are disconnected from the American Project—tenured ivory tower professors tucked up snug and safe with their incurious adolescent acolytes, and Koolaid-haired dartboards with atrophied brains checking Walmart’s prices with sagging ‘whuh-happun’ jaws, and taxpaying middle-aged anger bombs still thinking Democrats are the party of the people when that party, if it ever truly existed, long went the way of the quagga, and a handful of seniors/churchsitters still glued to television sets believing that network news tells it like it is and that racist fascist Orange Man is in league with the Russkies.
All of the above trust in mainstream media (even if they deny it) and could probably be deprogrammed within the space of a year if the media switched the message.
I know and am ‘friends’ with a lot of brain dead lefties, and some who are just watching too much TV.
They are so indoctrinated they think Trump and his followers are evil. They don’t want to know the truth.
Let’s hope he gets the right personnel this time.
I’ve read here that that won’t happen.
No personnel, no policies.
Nixon said he was going to rid DC of CFR members but ended up growing their population there, including globalist Dr. Kissinger. See the video.
“I’ve read here that won’t happened”.
Either the That-Won’t-Happen nostradoomers were malevolents or careless, low info guessers.
Those who aren’t malevolent, can improve their guessing game by reading Jonathan Adams recent two part article about Trumps second term published by axios.
Btw good basic video. Fortunately Trump understood these basics by the time he was 17.
MAGA is mostly and foremost an economic plan to safeguard the well-being of American families. This HAS TO BE HAMMERED in peoples’s minds and it’s the best way to neutralize Biden’s handlers schemes to portrait MAGA as a fringe ideology. THIS is important.
Servicemembers know a CINC when they see one.
Psalm 1
1 Blessed is the man
who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly,
nor stands in the path of sinners,
nor sits in the seat of scoffers;
2 but his delight is in the law of the Lord,
and in His law he meditates day and night.
3 He will be like a tree planted by the rivers of water,
that brings forth its fruit in its season;
its leaf will not wither,
and whatever he does will prosper.
4 The ungodly are not so,
but are like the chaff
which the wind drives away.
5 Therefore the ungodly will not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6 For the Lord knows the way of the righteous,
but the way of the ungodly will perish.

Well after watching President Trump’s awesome Saturday night rally & reading over all the CTH posts & Sundance writings since then I feel so energized, filled with love & respect for a man that has been relentlessly persecuted since 2015. I am angered about the MAL smash & grab FB LIE op and yes angry at Dark Brandon for that targeted speech to us MAGA people.
But we the deplorables are an army of many more than the dims think.
We need President Trump back now more than ever to turn our country around. May God bless President Trump & his entire family!
If you want the swamp drained you have to hire a guy that isn’t afraid to get into the swamp to drain it.
The violent reaction of the Marxists to Trump, even when the marshaled all the mot powerful of their resources against him is the clearest indication that MAGA is winning. Keep it up MAGA.
I would like to have you do more research into the quote above that is attributed to Steve Harvey. Snopes says it was not him that said it. Although they also are a very shady group that leans left with bias towards conservatives. On You Tube There is a clip of Steve Harvey discussing his meeting with Trump in 2017. He was immediately shredded by Black Hollywood. Maybe he did say it but was losing his career and had to deny it. Either way I think he is a very smart man for working with President Trump and Dr. Carson even if his politics is different. ADDED LAST NAME BUT WOULD LIKE YOU TO REMOVE IT FROM MY COMMENTS
Hi Tara….I removed your last name per your request.
There are many people named Paul Harvey. Establishing that one of those Paul Harvey’s did not write something does not mean another Paul Harvey isn’t the author.
Frankly, the words are what matter to me. The author neither adds to or detracts from those words unless someone only values words when they’re spoken by an “expert” or “star”.
It is Steve Harvey, not Paul. Since Steve Harvey, the celebrity has made comments about his meeting with Trump and was publicly scorned, I just think it is worth clearing up. I agree that the comment is very good. The words are what matter to me too. But posting a huge celebrity as the author should be vetted first. This site is usually very good at supplying accurate information. I just want to know if it really the Family Feud Steve Harvey.
I’ve posted this before, but it bears repeating given this discussion.
Some years ago Paul Volker spoke to the Economics Club of Florida. He spoke as the Chairman of the Trilateral Commission (yes, that Trilateral Commission). During the Q&A portion of the program he was asked about the Commission’s position on Social Security reform (a hot topic of the day). His answer was telling – that the Trilateral Commission did not concern itself with domestic political issues – only with “free” trade and international commerce. See why Trump and the deplorables are a threat? Judges, guns, abortion, schools, trans, etc are NOT important to the Big Club – only international business profits – and thus the Chamber moving our factories and jobs to China while our GOP pols talk “conservatism” and the DEM pols talk “progressivism.” Also note that Trump has been speaking out against the Big Club agenda as outlined by Volker for decades, and therefor he was marked as a threat the minute he came down the escalator.
— Marshall (social status: not in the Big Club)
I actually like the way Trump does things.
At first, yes, it was a bit hard…. “Come on Don…say it, don’t go around in circles..” but eventually, he grew on us.
Sure, he can be very honest, to the point. Fine with me, no need to beat around the bush… Miss Manners is BS when your opponents have a rusty 9 inch knife ready to bury deeply between your shoulder blades with their, oh so nice!, smiles.
When you got to deal with banks, unions, plumbers, city inspectors… well… that’s where the shoe meets the road. You gotta be to the point.
And, Trumps idea of win-win negotiations is spot on as well. Always leave a bit on the table, “you gotta spend money to make money”… those are the marks of a businessman with a healthy, constructive and profitable long term view.
So, yeah, I am a “MAGA conservative“… I dunno know you could call me a Republican anymore.
I need help understanding the rising tensions concerning DJT and the Covid non-vaccine. Alex Jones is the latest to proclaim that he can no longer support DJT because he continues to tout the “success” of said shot despite the huge numbers of deaths, injuries and obvious sterilization side effects. This issue has been bubbling just beneath the surface for some time, and for moms like me who’s children were duped and coerced into taking it, I can’t say I disagree. He must know by now that the products they produced at his behest where far more dangerous that the illness itself. I know he didn’t make it mandatory and that he tried to promote life saving therapies like Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine and that without a “vaccine” lockdowns would have led to catastrophic consequences, but that does not change the reality we face today. Millions poisoned, dead, injured, permanently damaged and infertile.
Why can he not admit that what we know now must call for a halt to further use of these products. I’m sure there is some reason, I need to know as do millions like me who love DJT and MAGA but are horrified by the carnage. Sundance surely you have a sane explanation. Thank you all!
What’s your point of posting this?
Do you think someone else will be a better candidate than Trump? lol
Uh huh.
Maybe you should spend your valuable time holding the people who forced you to take the shot accountable.
Donald Trump NEVER forced you to take any vaccine, in fact he was, and still is against any mask or vaccine mandate.
“I need to know”.
Fortunately, I want =/= “I need”.
Perhaps start giving thanks that you, as you yourself described, have been getting and continue to get what you NEED.
Perhaps pray for the man who’s risked EVERYTHING to help you get what you NEED rather than wanting him to indulge “I Wants” too.
We are in a very REAL WAR with humanity despising NWO psychopaths.
Perhaps leave decisions around this wars strategy, tactics and timing to our courageous and savvy leader, President Trump.
Doing so will free YOU to focus on doing everything you can do to help him so the psychos are defeated.
While he, and we, may not need your help, your help would still be appreciated.
I think Alex Jones is in survival mode and is thus… susceptible to suggestion.
I think Mr. Trump sees his intentions regarding the vaccine as being noble and humanitarian.
I think he is bewildered that some of those who previously supported him seem to be judging him not by his intentions, but by the terrible outcomes of the vaccine.
I recall the horrifying videos coming out of China very early in the pandemic.
A mystery disease that caused seemingly healthy people to suddenly fall to the ground and start shaking violently and die seemed to be a new and terrifying threat to the entire world.
I think Mr. Trump was trying desperately to halt the threat of this disease and unfortunately listened to the wrong people. His motives were noble, but those of his advisors were not.
I think he deserves praise for his desire to do what seemed best at the time. I don’t know that I would have made a different decision under that sort of pressure.
He seems to have a hard time admitting mistakes, true, but the error was not in deciding to act quickly in such a seemingly dire crisis.
Rather, it was in trusting those around him to love this nation as much as he does, himself, and that they would look out for our welfare as he himself was doing.
I can’t fault him for that, as I share that same flaw.
But I am learning, and I think he is, too.
Victor Davis Hanson was talking about economic nationalism in what he was saying during a Tucker Carlson interview that aired in part tonight. He was praising Trump’s policies and I am hoping that some people saw that.
This was a great Article. It perfectly summed up the situation. Kudos to Steve Harvey!!
I wouldn’t change a hair on his head.
Bless every hair on Donald Trumps head.
Yes….or,
As Victor Davis Hanson tells Tucker, “Trump is like Shane or one of the Magnificent Seven….”
And the great MAGA army said Amen! Amen! Amen! Amen! A-M-E-N!!!!!
Not sure this is as germane today. The global economic structure is changing – very fast. The foundation for Wall Street is built on shifting sands: energy is the national economy. Energy security is national security. Wall Street/Congress is trapped by its own machinations: massive, unsustainable debt; a dollar which is strengthening in the short-run but will collapse as BRICS+ commodity based payment systems supplant the Eurodollar; supply side discontinuities that are driving re-nationalization of major industries (e.g., energy, pharmaceuticals, etc.) with a reestablishment of fundamentals over debt fueled growth; debased currency/sustained inflation; recession possibly degrading into depression; impending famines in Africa and elsewhere.
The probability the EU will implode moving into 2023-2024 is immense. The underlying alliances that represent the political arm of Wall Street (EU, US, Canada, Five Eyes) will deteriorate.
Yes, there are trillions at stake. MAGA economy is not the primary threat to Wall Street! The restructuring is going to drive MAGA outcomes!
Listen to the politicos who understand the shift in play. The US is better positioned than EU to weather the impending global economic system collapse. That said, the odds grow each day that the factors listed above are heading our country toward possibly deep stagflation – not transitory but for years. The oligopolist global pricing system that Sundance described well over a year ago when he initiated his Wall Street versus Main Street analysis is based on structures that are rapidly changing. The pain this causes is going to force the politics and the discussion toward recognition of the changes and proposed responses.
It’s the Energy Economy stupid!!
Yes. But. The unknown here is the escalating probability for superpower war
Keep in mind the “Global Banking Cartel” is literally trying to do so much DAMAGE that even Trump cannot save us. The fiscal and energy damage being done now in the name of ESG may put us so far in DEBT that an actual collapse of our system may happen. The elite wealthy don’t care, but the average person having 50-60% of their net income going for gas/groceries will take years to undue. As Trump as always said, ENERGY is national security, the LEFT and GOPe could care less……
I assume that the system will collapse.
My trust is not in the system, but in the Lord.
However, I do what I can to avoid interfacing with the system, like raising a garden and chickens, living in the country, having my own source of water, etc.
If the Lord tarries, we need to be like those who survived the disintegration of the Roman Empire.
Spit yourself out of the system as much as you can.
