Following a disappointing 4th place finish in Iowa, presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy announced he was suspending his campaign for the presidency and has endorsed President Donald Trump. WATCH:
.
(Des Moines) – “There’s no path for me to be the next president, absent things we don’t want to see happen in this country,” he said in a speech announcing that he was suspending his campaign after coming in 4th place in the Iowa Caucuses.
Ramaswamy said the next president must be an “America First” president. He said he would throw his support behind former President Donald Trump.
As he announced he was ending his bid, Ramaswamy had 8,093 votes, or 7.7%, in the Republican caucuses with 91% of votes reporting. (MORE)

Deport yourself fake American
Bad form MP lets stay focused on the opposition still at our 12 o’clock.
ANY non-natural born citizen who runs for president IS the opposition. I don’t care HOW much he claims to support President Trump now or in the past! He has seen that he cannot get elected as president so now he’s hoping he can con Trump into making him vp.
Oh, and attempting to violate the Constitution by running for president despite not meeting that document’s presidential requirements is pretty bad form itself!
Not gonna argue with either of you, only gonna say he served his purpose today. Kept the 2 non-loyals from getting any significant showing in this first race.
He provided no further advantage in New Hampshire or South Carolina.
Sorry, but HE didn’t do any such thing. Today was ALL Trump’s doing. HE has an excellent history of Presidential achievement, HE had massive rallies, HE started the MAGA movement. Vivek is just, and has been just, riding his coat tails. If he were truely a MAGA person he’d never have run in the primaries.
“…he served his purpose today.”
This.
Sundance has been telling us for years — for many Presidential elections — about the RNC and DNC splinter/splitter strategy.
Viv-ick is just one of many candidates who will be used by the deep state to try and divide and conquer the support of our lion king, President Trump.
“… RNC and DNC splinter/splitter strategy …”
This ^^^ … so important!!!
👍
For someone to consider themselves “more American” because their parents were born here as opposed to someone born here but their parents weren’t … they don’t have much going for them. We see every day how that’s been working out for us.
Bill Clinton, George HW Bush, George W Bush, Hillary Clinton, Woodrow Wilson, LBJ, John Kerry, Michael Dukakis, Al Gore, Paul Ryan, Mitt Romney, Bernie Sanders, John McCain, Kamela Harris, Tim Kaine etc.etc.etc.
It’s the law and I’d obey it but it’s a stupid useless law.
Useless only in the sense it’s been ignored since Zero and the deep sociocultural understandings of our nation have been so degraded that we are all too ignorant of the tides of history and the forces that have driven conflict and change for all of mankind’s existence.
Culture Counts.
Right on.
Traitors versus Patriots.
Exactly, Maquis!
Zero proves why rules must be followed.
You have “American” and citizen of the USA mixed up.
There is a difference.
Just because you’re a citizen doesn’t make you American.
He is both American and a citizen. These are incontrovertible facts. If you or others deny he is an American, please define what you mean by American, because it isn’t the common sense meaning of the term.
The slippery slope of compromise always leads to destruction … demand rules be enforced on everyone, everyday, for everything … or it isn’t a rule.
well we just endured one president who was not a natural born citizen for 8 years who is still trying to take this country into oblivion. And he’s having a good laugh living in Georgetown with Valerie Jarret pulling strings for this current administration.
So true.
True but obama totally got away with that. Pelosi made sure of it in 2008 in Hawaii.

Thank You for the link. It will shock some people, but those of us who did due diligence knew!!
President Trump knew !!!
Excellent!
Thank you, WSB.
You’re concerned with form as the enemy slowly wraps the noose around our necks. Biggest opposition are misled Conservatives all around us.
Battered Conservative Syndrome, still with us unfortunately.
Re “Biggest opposition are misled Conservatives all around us.”
So true; and, most of them don’t have a clue they’re being referred to there….
Oh, and there are several right here on this thread!
Who said we weren’t focused?
No prisoners 🚩
Boo.
Hes laughing at you and you are oblivious to it.
He can’t help it.
He’s not a real American because of his heritage?
No, it’s because his parents were not U.S. citizens when he was born here. The only reason he’s even considered to be a citizen himself is due to the currently accepted misinterpretation of the 14th Amendment.
Were his parents here legally?
Yes, but not citizens, unable to bear a Natural Born Citizen child.
Maquis, see my posts down.
Citizens, but not one was a natural born citizen. Big difference should one want to run for President.
This is the best understanding of what this means.
https://publiushuldah.wordpress.com/category/natural-born-citizen/
Interesting blog. But the concept of citizenship as expounded there would not be accepted by our current Supreme Court, who is as textualist as we’re going to get. So what does it amount to other than a fringe legal theory?
I am afraid it also would not be accepted by Congress. As outlined in that Article, the courts have so far refrained from asserting their opinions/decisions from what they consider a “political process.”
Thank you … my personal understanding of this issue
Both my parents were legally born American Citizens to legally born American Citizens
My father was a military officer stationed in Morocco Africa.
The US Military Base Hospital did NOT have maternity/newborn facilities … so two of my siblings were born in a civilian Moroccan hospital in Casablanca … meaning my siblings were American Citizens – but neither were LEGALLY born American Citizens.
Literally the day after we were State-side, my father went to the Military Base Legal Office and LEGALIZED my siblings as American Citizens … neither can be President as neither were born in the United States of America – or – on an American Military Base.
Actually, Publius Huldah teaches a false definition of the term, natural born citizen. The U.S. Supreme Court, in Minor v Happersett, cited Vattel’s definition of the term in a way that made it legal precedent; thereby, also making it the one and only legal definition. That definition is ““those born in the country, of parents who are citizens.”
Paraphrased specifically to the USA, that is “children born on US soil to two US citizen parents.”
Note in Vattel’s definition the word “parents,” plural, TWO parents; and this was way back in the day when it was understood by all that parents meant a mother and a father, not two fathers or two mothers as we often see today.
But, I digress… My point is that Huldah believes the mother is not to be included in that definition despite the FACT that ParentS includes BOTH mother and father.
For proof of her belief, please go to your linked article from above and scroll down to the following heading:
Who Makes the Ruling that Someone is not Qualified for the Office of President of the United States?
Under that heading you will find the following words from Huldah…
“According to the original intent of our Constitution, Ted Cruz & Marco Rubio are not eligible to be President because their fathers weren’t US citizens at the times they were born. So they are not ‘natural born citizen’.”
As I said above, in order to be a natural born citizen, one must be born on US soil to TWO US citizen parents.
JesseTMims
For God’s sake, Vivek is a US Citizen. Going by your interpretation of the Constitution, Donald Trump could not be president, because his mother was born in Scotland. Unless you can furnish some proof that Vivek wasn’t born in Ohio in 1986, then he’s a US citizen.
You’re getting it way wrong.
PDJT’s mother was naturalized before his birth, he is legit.
Anchor baby citizenship is not Natural Born Citizenship, the Constitution specifies this requirement only for the highest office in the land and for very valid and serious reasons.
Maquis
Any proof she was naturalized when DJT was born?
And, are you certain that Ramaswamy’s parents were not naturalized?
No, I’m not a Vivek voter. Trump 100%. And I’m dubious of Obama being born in the US.
But we are getting down to splitting hairs. Another poster thinks the Supreme Court has misinterpreted the 14th Amendment, and Vivek shouldn’t even be a US citizen, despite being born in Ohio.
That the Fourteenth has been abused and perverted is well known.
None said he should not be a citizen at this time, only that he shouldn’t have been afforded anchor baby citizenship simply because his non-citizen parents birthed him here.
These contentions have been visited here in great detail for a very long time and I am not going to go searching for every iota of evidence presented over the past decades to satisfy demands of anyone that clearly wasn’t paying attention.
Maquis
No, another poster stated that Vivek shouldn’t even be a US citizen, in addition to not being eligible for the office of President due to the “natural born citizen” language.
Vivek is a US citizen by virtue of jus soli. Period. End of story. Until 2/3 of Congress, or the Supreme Court, rule otherwise.
Vivek and Nikki, as others stated, are probably not eligible to be President. But to state they’re not even US citizens is wrong.
You’re tilting at windmills now.
Bless you.
Playing word games?
You’re mistaken about a number of things. Hopefully, the following articles published right here on CTH can help guide you in the right direction…
President Trump Considering Immigration Executive Order Removing Birthright Citizenship (“Anchor Babies”)… – The Last Refuge (theconservativetreehouse.com)
Please note the following from the 14th Amendment…
“All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.”
It has been affirmed that “subject to the jurisdiction (of the US)” means 100% total jurisdiction, not partial jurisdiction. In other words, jurisdiction that is not shared with any other entity. If the Framers meant partial, they would surely have made that clear.
A non-US citizen while in the USA still has at least some allegiance to their home nation. So do any children born to them while here. If their home country is at war with the USA and has a draft in affect, they can potentially even be conscripted to fight against America! Therefore, the US cannot have total jurisdiction over either child or parent. Thus, according to Senator Jacob Howard, who authored the 14th Amendment citizenship clause, persons such as Vivek and Haley who were born here to non-citizen parents are not granted citizenship by the 14th Amendment. If they’re not citizens, they’re certainly not natural born citizens who can serve as president.
BOOM – Mark Levin: Congress Can “End” Birthright Citizenship Without Amending The Constitution (Audio/Video)… – The Last Refuge (theconservativetreehouse.com)
In that second one please note the following written by Senator Jacob Howard (Author of the 14th Amendment citizenship clause)
…”Every person born within the limits of the United States, and subject to their jurisdiction, is by virtue of national law a citizen of the united states. This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers, credited to the Government of the United States; but will include every other class of persons. It settles the great question of citizenship and removes all doubt as to which persons are, or are not, citizens of the United States. This has long been a great issue in the jurisprudence and legislation of this country”…
Here’s more… Senator Ted Cruz Was For The Constitution, Before He Turned Against It… – The Last Refuge (theconservativetreehouse.com)
One parent must be born of the soil. Please, everyone, wake up.
NOW… lol… you’re MISquoting the very person you earlier said (albeit mistakenly) wrote the best article about that topic…
Sorry, I mean no disrespect. But, you ARE confused on this.
Maquis, PT’s father WAS born on the soil. Mother was not. None of this has ever been adjudicated. We have no idea who Obama’s father actually was.
I believe it was Subud. An Indonesian Citizen.
https://stateofthenation2012.com/?p=72280
PDJT didn’t need adjudicated, his mother was naturalized well before his birth.
Zero was deliberately never adjudicated, those that created him and his path ensured that no objections were ever investigated.
Mother had nothing to do with his eligibility. Being naturalized negates anyone from being a natural born citizen, His father did. President Trump’s father was born on the soil.
The new chicken or egg question:
Did Professor Gay copy Obama or did Obama copy Professor Gay ??!!
Wow !!!
This is a first for me … I’ve never heard of Subud. But that picture is quite telling!!!
I have always believed it was Frank Marshall Davis … and definitely NOT the Kenyan. !!!
Isn’t this discussion about citizenship requirements moot though as the USA already had Barack Obama as president and nobody got one thing done against it. Because the machinery willed it.
Arguing about interpretation of citizenship is a waste of words, and if it mattered at all it would be in a court of law, and we know such a case would not get to a court of law for the anointed ones.
So we abandon the Constitution because the Communists violated it?
Zero violated America and this supposedly arcane and outdated provision alone, understood and abided, would have spared us all four of his terms.
So very very TRUE!!!
If we had law.
We have law. We we do not have is enforcement.
One bad point does not mean this is legal. and the courts suck.
A wrong does not make a right,
The problem was in part that no judge would rule for discovery when attempts WERE made to present evidence to the court about obama and his ineligibility. The courts were sown up very very tightly against any lightbringer. I was on 2 online grand juries who tried to find just ONE judge to do what had to be done. NADA NIL ZILCH!!
So if one person gets away with murder – everyone else gets a pass ??
Maquis, there is nothing about naturalized citizenry. It is all about naturally-BORN people.
Spend the time to see this. Not certain if even President Trump is a natural-born citizen. But since his father is, he should be.
I know I am. Both of my parents are born of the soil.
https://publiushuldah.wordpress.com/category/natural-born-citizen/
I’ve been through Publius Hulda’s excellent work many times. She is amazing.
The Founders gave the authority and duty to create the naturalization process to Congress, and they settled on five years legal residence as part of the process; far too little time in my estimation, but little wisdom comes out of Congress.
President Trump’s mother was naturalized all before his birth. He is full legitimate, zero doubt.
If you want to explode heads, consider that the Founders relied upon Vattel’s Law of Nations as they composed the document, and his definition of NBC only requires citizenship of the father to confer NBC status; the mother followed her husband in the sense of fealty to nation.
Yes, but only that she may be the husband’s property, and at the time that the Constitution was organized.
Not property, his responsibility, the man led and his citizenship prevailed.
Different age.
We are so much more civilized now . . .
🙃
LOLOLOL!!!! You are funny!!!
PS We have no law of Nations as we have Law of our own US Constitution. One defies the other.
And this is what Publius Hulda concedes.
And what is so wonderful about her essay is that she believes BOTH parents should be of the soil.
The beauty of the wife being property of the husband is at this point negotiable?
That would be quite a case!!!!
PPS Is marriage a legal contract or just a personal promise?
Oh, just re-reading your post. Five years after the Constitution was ratified, if I am correct.
PS People get this wrong all of the time. A Naturalized citizen is not a natural-born citizen. Two very different things.
Fully aware of that, but a properly naturalized citizen can confer citizenship on their child, even NBC.
Naturalized is not natural born. Two very different things.
Citizenship but not natural-born citizenship.
As a nation of immigrants, the Founders had to negotiate this concern carefully, they couldn’t be as restrictive as they might have liked in order to protect us from foreign intrigue and alien sentiments.
Naturalization was a fully legitimate process that enables the conferring of NBC; that piece of paper might have appended to the naturalized citizen, but not to their subsequent children.
We’re that not so, only those now tied ancestrally to those born in and living in America in 1789 could seek the highest office; the Founders would have created an aristocratic class to rule us, the opposite of their intentions.
Naturalized has a piece of paper attached. Not a Natural-born citizen. Of the soil.
Yes , but not natural born. Just a citizen.
Vivek is NOT a natural-born citizen. Neither is Nimrata. Both parents were on working visas when they were born. Neither are eligible to run for office of the President. Or Vice-President.
Never been adjudicated. Natural Born-Citizen is on whose parent, father, from what we know, is born on the soil.
President Trump’s father was born on the soil. His mother was not.
Obama, we have no idea who his real father was.
Neither, Nimrata’s or Vivek’s parents were born on US soil. Period.
Natural-born, of ‘parents’ born on soil. The adjucated question is if a wife was property of a husband at the time the law was instituted.
This is really the only question.
No, no, no. He is not a Natural-born citizen. Trump is a natural-born citizen because his father is born of the soil.
Vivek is NOT!!!!!
His parents were Indian citizens when he was born in the US. he is NOT a natural-born citizen. His parents were not born on US soil.
PLEASE understand this.
But that don’t make him American.
Nimrata and Vivek are both not natural born citizens.
Their parents would have to be born of the soil.
Neither are.
The parents must only be U.S. citizens before the birth of the child in order for the child to be a natural born citizen. Where they were BORN is immaterial as long they were U.S. citizens when the child was born here.
On the other hand, in order for the child to be a natural born citizen, the child must be both born on U.S. soil AND born to two U.S. citizens. How the parents became U.S. citizens has no bearing on their child’s ability to rightly claim the status of being a natural born citizen.
The reason neither Vivek nor Haley are not natural born citizens is because neither of their parents were citizens before they (Vivek and Haley) were born.
His parents were not even born of the soil.
Yes. His parents were from India.
He holds no allegiance to this country. Totally transparent to me. potus isnt fooled and thats all that matters now. Although I would prefer he be swatted like a house fly.
I meant it
No argument here.
Chipper chatty conman charming the chumps will never curry favor with me.
That is hysterically funny!!!!
I don’t get it, why that attitude if the guy is gonna try to HELP Trump from here on out? Unless you think his plan is to sabotage the campaign? Maybe I’m naive, but I’m more than happy to accept Vivek’s assistance the rest of the way.
swampy is a bad actor, works for k. shwaab and shouldn’t be near Trump in any capacity
Ivanka Trump is a 2015 Young Global Leaders WEF grad. There’s more in Vivek’s background that disqualify him like his involvement with Big Pharma, being an Ivy leaguer et al. To see his true identity ignore what he says and watch what he does, actions speaks louder than words. His background says corporate fascist globalist
100% he’s grooomed and it’s not hard to guess by whom
he obtained the rights to a 3x failed PHASE II drug rhat made not a penny for nearly a decade and pulled the pump and dump for his riches
blacckrock, teacher’s unions et al threw money in that slush fund
gee, wondering it was all on the up & up…
lolololol
And Ivanka is now out of daddy’s orbit since the steal.
🤔
And a recipient of a Paul Soros scholarship !!!
Vivik called out climate change as a hoax in the debate and everybody heard it. I don’t think Klaus Schwab is his employer!
so sorry you haven’t seen the recent Matt Kim or dr. Shiva videos for proof
if those videos don’t change your above opinion then, sadly, there’s nothing left to say
Saying and doing are totally separate.
You are not displaying naivety, you are displaying grace and decency.
So are you and it’s refreshing to see!
Teamwork 👁️
I dont get how you can be so naïve unless you were doing it intentionally.
Help … like Jeff Sessions & JUDASpence ??!!
Shame on you mass psychosis! Also, Vivek may be Trump’s running mate!
Follow the money, I get it, but seriously follow the money.
Always.
Bite your tongue!
If not that, Ramaswamay would make a fabulous bookend to Peter Navarro leading the restructuring of federal government agencies. The kid from Cleveland has done good so far. The kid has real chops; serious executive chops.
We need all the champions of the golden rule we can muster. He’s the only one that comes close to Trump’s vigor, personal strength and phenomenal candor.
As for the derision, rumor and rumbling about CIA connections, he’d most likely be one of the White Hats if such was so.
but where did swampy’s wealth originate?
from government agencies
They are all government things.
The kid from Cleveland has done good so far.
To whom do you refer? I’m confused.
watch Matt Kim’s recent videos on x and see why that vp thing for swampy no way happens
And who is he?
Just a guy, but a legit voice like we enjoy here, the clip referenced tracks with my own research.
he’s a brilliant presenter well researched facts and information on the platform x
I wouldn’t go that far.
Lay off the goofy pills.
They make you say stupid things!
If he’s WEF, which is likely, given his funding, then no.
He can help the campaign, but it’s too big a risk putting him close enough to be another Mike Pence. I wouldn’t even suggest Vivek for a cabinet position.
I don’t want President Trump to spend another four years pulling knives out of his back, knives put there by — yet again — naively trusted Republicans.
If PDJT can use Vivek to help in Making America Great Again, without allowing him any opportunity to derail the plan, then he should. But Vivek should be on seriously closely-watched probation, and for *years*.
or someone more sinister might suggest to use him to relay false information to his handlers because what other use for him could there be
He can’t be any worse than Jared Kushner…. Jared Kushner is a disgrace and Trump has nobody to blame but himself for having him in that White House. Trump made a huge mistake with that wessel and he can’t blame the Swamp GOP on that one.
By that time Trump knew 99% of the people around him were traitors … he had to trust family for help.
My God I hope not.
Ok Charlie Brown.
I doubt that very much.
MP is right.
VP slot – Not a chance. President Trump himself said Vivek is NOT MAGA.
🙄
Never.
Indeed.
and kindly cut m.s. slack cuz anyone can be misinterpreted some days
meant m.p., not m.s.
Sorry, not certain what your comment was.
exactly
was just trying out new material for an act in my upcoming obiden spokesperson’s absudly ambiguous. meaningless statements tour and you busted me
impressive catch, WSB!
He was born on US soil, in Ohio. Love him or hate him, that makes him a US citizen. The good ole USA only follows “jus sanguinis” , ie the rule of blood, for the children of US citizens that are born overseas. Such as, the child of two US citizens born in Germany while one of the parents were serving in the military. That child is a US citizen even though they were born in Germany.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jus_soli
Vivek’s parents have never been American citizens. Being born on US soil & being a plain old US Citizen is not sufficient to quality one as a Natural Born Citizen. Natural Born Citizenship is the highest category of citizenship which is required of the POTUS to ensure the highest degree of loyalty.
That is just plain hilarious! It ensures NOTHING. How many members of Congress now and in the past have been super duper atomic natural born citizens? Read my post up above where I list some of these wonderful grade “A” citizens. It is an absolute joke. I could throw a dart into the crowd at the Super Bowl and find someone better than Obama,either Clinton, Mittens etc.
Let us admit the NBC requirement is inadequate, granted, it most certainly is.
Nevertheless, ignoring it has not improved our circumstances and in fact has dramatically worsened them.
What is most lacking is American’s comprehension of civilization and history, of the significance of culture in human societies, we have been dumbed down to believing everyone is the same and opening our doors to mischiefs the Founders would shudder and rage to see.
NBC requirement applies to two offices.
OK fine.
Two.
😝
LOLOLOL!!!! You are a gem!!
Natural born citizen applies to President and Vice-President.
And that makes total sense — since VP would become P if something happened.
indeed!
Oh, and I understand. Yes. We are in a mess. Yet we still have a Constitution.
Not required for Congressional seats.
Moot point.
That is not a requirement for holding a seat and Congress and Americans who know their history and Constitution know that.
No, parents must be born on ‘US’ soil. What does anyone not understand about US natural born person.
Are you all stupid?
GD, where do you come from???!!!!! Are you under 30 years old?
Your post is crazy. What are you posting?
Wikipedia = Soros Drivel
Using Wikipedia is like the Air Traffic Controller DEI-WOKE chick arguing her WRONG point with a pilot – trying to land a plane full of people – that she was right because she “googled” it … which is against FAA requirements!!!
Fake American? The guy endorsed Trump swiftly and here you are crapping on the guy. Uh-huh. Anytime I see volatile folks like you, the first thing I think of is fed.
So many new faces on here promoting VR.
Who paid you to come here to promote him.
I didn’t promote Vivek. Where did you get that from that comment? I just don’t like lies. So buzz off, please. Go touch some grass.
Busted!
😭
How do you know it’s a lie – if you’re not promoting Vivek ??
Nobody is going to pay anyone to comment here.
That has to be quite false.
We’ve had numerous campaigns of influence operations here at CTH over the last decade plus.
Feds and operatives and influencers, all over the net, over Twixxer, and most certainly here.
Happens all the time and has been for a long time.
Another attempted subtle deflection?
🤔
Chicken and the egg
&
🐈 and 🐁
Are you serious?!!?
You are kidding right ??
Get a Clue Charlie… Can you really be that dense or are you just accusing others of that which you are guilty? The punk endorsed Trump because that was the best hand he had left. and swiftly? WTF are you talking about? Why is he even pretending to run when we all know Trump is the rightful President. Cmon Charlie Brown!!
Vivek is not really an election fraud denier. He knows Biden Didnt Win…He just pretends not to notice, like you ….fed
Those 7% must be those Dems shipped in to vote for Nikki or Ronnie.
💥^^^^^^
Are you happy that Trump won, or angry that Vivek dropped out? Cause the normal reaction should be pleasant one. You obviously aren’t gainfully employed, considering how much time you have to spam these threads. Fly away, fed.
Is trolling considered being gainfully employed ??
Only after running against Donald Trump, and suffering a crushing pathetic loss.
Even then ‘Swampy’s endorsement was phony and contrived.
MP has been here a long time and is well known. You should know that if you’re a regular.
You on the other hand?
And when I saw comments like this, I think bitter influencer.
Remember folks!
Donald Trump’s mother was born in Scotland. And his father was, I believe, 1st generation here from German immigrants.
Legal immigrants, of course. That matters. And there’s no evidence Vivek’s folks came here illegally.
And yes, I’m voting Trump 100%. But let’s not attack Vivek for non-merit factors.
I havent said a word about where he was born so why are you trying to stick that card in front of my face? suspicious
Not sure why so many here are hypnotized by Eminem unless there is a more sinister motive.
I can smell his Bull Sht from a mile away.
Mass psychosis
You said, “deport yourself fake American” regarding Vivek.
A US citizen cannot be deported. Read Title 8
In order to be deported from the United States, you must be a foreign national, with a foreign country to be deported to.
So yes, you did mention his place of birth, that being, wherever you propose to deport him to.
In my 26 year career, I deported literally thousands of people, issued thousands of Notices to Appear, reinstated thousands of prior deportations, etc. Reading all these comments from WSB, Maquis, and others, who are confidently posting away based on crap they read on the internet is hilarious to me.
Only a few posters to this thread are actually passably familiar with Immigration and Nationality law.
I’m no supporter of Vivek. I distrust him as well.
But if he was born in Ohio, and his parents weren’t diplomats, he is a US citizen. Not a fake American.
I said deport yourself fake American because its the right thing to do.
Maybe he has dual citizenship.
Disgusting and juvenile comment
The Fly has been swatted!
As stated by the President himself “VIVEK IS NOT MAGA”
Repeat after me BFD… VIVEK…IS… NOT… MAGA
BFD …. hmmm ??
Ha ! So true. He is such an idiot.
He will be helpful to Trump in NH. We welcome all who supported Vivek! America First 🇺🇸
Funny you would say something so backwards…..Whoever you are…Lets break it down shall we?
“He will help Trump in NH”
“America First”
—Dufus..t
“Vivek is Not MAGA”
“Dont get duped by him”
“A vote for Vivek is a vote for the other side”
—President Trump
Is that the best you got?
Speak for yourself
Nimrata and Vivek could get on a plane…
The coveted Ramaswampy endorsement.
Don’t mock. It’s actually a big deal to those of us who’ve been waiting.
Exactly right. I would love for *all* of the other GOP candidates to wake up, suspend their campaigns, and unite in endorsement of Donald J. Trump.
I’m not holding my breath for that outcome, but I would certainly welcome it with joy and renewed hope.
DeSantis and Nikki will be knifing each other soon to get the other out!
There are only 2 left … totally financed by RINOS, swamp, deep state, and establishment aka Traitors.
Waiting for what ??
Ramaswamy said the next president must be an “America First” president. He said he would throw his support behind former President Donald Trump.
Does this mean Vivek is not “American First”?
Think you’re reading too much into this?
No, he said there were two such in the race, himself and Trump, he’s getting behind Trump because he is the only America First candidate who can win.
That, and apparently he is not a humiliation whore like Runt DeSanctis who is in it until the bitter tears end.
Wow, you said it. So right.
Time to move on with Vivek, let’s see what happens.
On his speech he said that only and he and President Trump are America First candidates.
“Vivek Is Not MAGA”
–President Donald Trump
Saying and doing are completely different.
Well, let’s see his campaign for cabinet position officially get started. He’s all talk, but outside of dropping out, he hasn’t had the ability to do anything else.
I won’t be anything but suspicious of him until or unless he does some real actions.
I still think there’s a role for him in the PDJT cabinet as either Fed Secretary or other financial related position. There are enough Wolverines in PDJT financial teams to keep Vivek on task e.g. Managed Supervision.
.
As if right now, he doesn’t actually want a role in the administration. He wants to be on Trump’s good side when it comes to his business ventures and foreign dealings. That may or may not end up with him being offered and taking something that further boosts what he really wants. So we’ll have to see.
.
perhaps, but hard to believe – dig deeper and find he’s of the same cloth as soterro
swampy has been officially and undeniably outed as usda prime d.s.
can’t wait to see how or if he continues the pretending
Some people are never satisfied.
Ain’t that the truth!
Considering whose hand is up his backside, that endorsement is worth approximately nothing.
Time to unite. DeSantis and Haley will drop out after New Hampshire.
I’m not as confident that Bird Brain would follow suit. She is a stubborn individual who is commonly ‘Confidently Wrong’.
https://babylonbee.com/news/after-lackluster-showing-nikki-haley-bombs-iowa
Haley will be in through SC. DeSantis does not have money. He spent 35 mil in Iowa ads and got a distant 2nd. The PACs backing him will move to Haley. Watch the ad spending in NH for DeSantis. Beyond what is already contracted, he’s done. Back to Florida and a probable run against Rubio in ’26. It’s a shame because he’s been a decent governor here, but he bought the McConnell Kool-Aid and now everyone knows he’s not ready for prime time.
I read where RDS is not going to NH but moving right on to SC.
Yes, today he is in Greenville, SC and then on to New Hampshire.
I don’t believe Nimrata the birdbrain will drop out…the strings about her will keep her in.
Smart move, Vivek. We want more of you, just not right now.
Get that necessary insider seasoning and then take on this lethal deep state swamp. Hope you get a great position inside the Trump administration. Great getting to know you. Don’t leave us.
You’re trying too hard.
A whole bunch of them are on here trying very hard tonight.
They stick out like sore thumbs!
So what? We got bigger fish to fry than someone who endorses trump. I mean THINK
Yep, isn’t that interesting!! And some of the harpies with such sharp tongues…where did they come from? Funny stuff.
I have never commented on TCTH before but tonight or this am however you want to look at it, I felt the urge to pile on in agreement with you Marquis and the other treepers that I’ve come to recognize as a very true and faithful bunch of wolverines. Idky, but there are a LOT of new unusual commentators on here that seem to be cheerleading for VR and it’s just too freakin weird. I will likely just go back to my viewing from afar as I have done for some years now , as I’ve grown a great deal of respect for those filling up the branches of the tree in which the treehouse sits
Kapla!
Yup … the Vivek avalanche of “supporters” was obvious and orchestrated … it’s as if Rove was in the background with his whiteboard telling them what to say … on to New Hampshire was great !
Agreed. The movement must continue after Trump is gone.
Ain’t happening.
Where’s Sparky?
Still don’t and never will trust this person.
Those are good instincts. You shouldn’t trust any politician, no exceptions.
Why not read what Navarro says about Jared Kuschner.
Can you please expand on that? I read Kushner’s book and found it fairly interesting but would be interesting in another point of of view.
Who cares?
Why … is he running for office ?
Never is a long time. Would you have trusted Trump when he was a registered Democrat and contributing to Clinton?
He’s done for now. Let’s see what he does next. I’m betting Trump puts him to work.
Trump does enjoy allowing double-speakers to burn their own bridges … we shall see.
So quick to jump into national politics. So quick to jump out. Was he ever really a candidate? Maybe he’s best described as a paid agitator. Against and by whom yet to be confirmed.
“There’s no path for me to be the next president,……………. Backhanded way of asking/begging for the VP position?
“……………absent things we don’t want to see happen in this country,” Something happening to Trump?
He did an extremely good job of red pilling the country club Republicans and massacring Nimrata Haley in the debates, while President Trump remained aloof.
Mission completed.
Whether it was a volunteer mission is a different question. Maybe someone struck a Bernie Sanders like deal, to avoid prosecution.
The next question isn’t really the outcome after NH, or Super Tuesday. It is what will the next DS gambit be, now that the primary season RiNO hunt is effectively over.
Nothing good.
Then why not support Desantis or Haley? I think it’s helpful that he dropped out and immediately supported Trump. Even Sundance had Vivek in an early draft of Trump’s appointees.
He outlasted quite a few others in the race, many of whom had been in politics decade longer.
Dear President Trump don’t even consider this snake for a place in your cabinet. You had enough backstabbers last time. God bless and protect you.
100%
Damned if he does, damned if he doesn’t.
Ramaswampy got swamped.
If Desanctis & Bird Brain were smart they’d follow suit immediately!
Their hubris in staying in this race & not allowing conservatives to focus 100% of efforts on defeating the Crook in Chief will continue to frame the demise of any & all of their future political aspirations.
This defeat was not only massive it was historic…read the room
Crenshawsidiots!Meant to state the “Crook in Thief”
He was never going to win, but his self-immolation yesterday with that Save Trump Vote Da Vek stunt destroyed him.
It would be useful to have Vivek stay in the race. I think he takes votes from Nikki.
Split the Indian vote?
Nahhh, 90-95% of VR’s voters going to PDJT.
He was closer to MAGA (in name only) than the other 2 imposters.
Finally, he kept his promise; dropped out and endorsed President Donald J. Trump and MAGA.
I do not fault him for his ability to make a reasonable decision when faced with the odds.
MAGA!
The odds were not on his side to begin with.
And he did do right after trump called him out. His comments quoted above indicate he was staying in the running only in case trump goes to jail or somehow is unable to run. After trump said that tho he immediately bowed out. VR is an ally.
It was not ‘Swampy’s decision. He got the tap on the shoulder from RNC/CIA.
Did you see his expression? That was clearly not a person whose brain agreed with what his mouth was saying.
Kiss the ring.
Quoi?
“…absent things we don’t want to see in this country…”
Forked tongue comment.
Do you want to see Trump jailed or short of that, assassinated? Because that’s on the table now and Ramaswamy knows it.
Their lawfare tactics are falling apart. They are determined to stop him. As SD is fond of saying “There are trillions at stake.”
Thse people would kill their own mother for a lot less.
So we vote Ramaswamy to appease them ? No. I will not comply.
I heard it quite differently: He doesn’t want to become the only America First candidate in the race. He apparently fears (and rightly so) what tragedy would have had to occur to create those circumstances. I appreciated Vivek taking that spotlit opportunity to remind us America First has too few friends among those competing for power and control over the electorate; those who seem willing to do anything to destroy the life of our champion who is among the most significant and able Presidents to ever hold that office.
I say a prayer for the safety and well being of Our Great Lion every evening, and wake each morning glad to learn he is safe and still among us. I do not take his devotion and willingness to task for granted.
Perhaps I am paranoid about the mortal risks that Trump faces in his quest to revitalize America and our nation’s timeless first principles.
We shared a common adage in the 1960s: “If you’re not paranoid, you don’t know what’s going on.”
I certainly don’t know it all, but I remain grateful for every voice of support that faithfully joins our mutual cause.
“Absent things we don’t wanna see happen in this country” wtf! Bro, shouldn’t even be suggesting things like that. Bye 👋🏼
He not only suggested things like that, he got the T-shirt!!
Literally!
I didn’t like the stupid t-shirt stunt. But as for the subject itself, I actually don’t have a problem with people talking about the possibility. Not as fear-mongering, but as a WARNING.
Like Trump says “They’re not after me, they’re after you, and I’m just standing in their way.”
But there’s something else that so far has gone unsaid. “Trump is the only thing standing between we Trump supporters and the anti-Trump scum. If they DO take out Trump, they’re taking down the only protection they have against US. If Trump isn’t here to tell us to stop, we most definitely will NOT stop.”
So yeah, I’m fine with people talking about the danger Donald Trump is in, as long as our enemies know THEY are in just as much danger if they play that game!
Understood, I am uncomfortable with the talk, especially in light of the suspect goals of those that say it.
What I am comfortable with is asserting loudly across the board that we will mercilessly destroy the entire Derp State with our own bloody hands if they harm our President.
They must know that we will assemble at every MarxMerdia location and begin a terrible purge.
They must be made to fear that so much that they themselves go out of their way to protect him at all costs.
Proud to be in the foxhole with you, Maquis.
You too, Brother.
👊
Agree Maquis…just not sure THEY (DS) realize how many of us there are. Washington DC has a lot of high-end restaurants…would be easy to find some of them and make their dinner uncomfortable.
He’s saying that’s why he remained in the running so long
This is a good thing. Whatever Vivek may be, I believe his supporters are genuine. They probably feared Trump couldn’t beat Biden, and Vivek offered America First, and they supported it. His immediate support of Trump may bring those people around. I’m happy to see any and all support for Trump.
Happy to see support for Trump, and many of Da Vek’s supporters may be sincere, but his influencer army here most certainly is not.
… so … his supporters are clueless.
I suspected he was a surrogate for Trump anyways. Just didn’t think he’d drop out until super tuesday.
As a Canadian, great supporter of PDJT, I found VR extremely smooth kind of Obama. Not a good thing in my mind. At least Vivek did not go on thinking he would win, great job, supporting PDJT another great job. Let’s all watch and see. Praying always for the Real President, Donald John Trump!! God Bless!!
Totally agree!
A surrogate ??!!
The RINO establishment thought they could turn Florida Guv DeSantis into RINOlite – but – unknown, Paul Soros scholarship Vivek comes out of nowhere, and WeThePeople are gonna believe he’s America First … really ??!!
Did Karl Rove tell you to say that ?
I’ll give him this…during the debates, he took it to the dirtbags who are still grasping to stay in the race. He slapped them upside the head on national TV almost as a surrogate to our VSGPDJT. Whether there is a genuine bone in his body is still yet to be determined, but he echoed a lot of what needed to be said. Perhaps he’ll learn from our Lion.
Exactly. I agree wholeheartedly. People need to chill and give the man a chance. When’s the last time you heard anyone, even Trump, say they were gonna abolish the FBI? I support Trump 100% but Vivek still has a possible future. Time will tell.
So funny … the Vivek landslide of trolls “all” support President Trump !!! … I smell a Soros op.
The Trump “competition” were losers – all … NONE debated President Trump … now … we are down to – LOL – DeSantis & Nikki … your point ??
Watch carefully, the bodylanguage betrays him, clenched lips when saying “I called Trump to tell him”, the blinkering eyelids and again clenched lips saying “i congratulated him on his victory”, the closed eyes when saying “he will have my FULL endorsement”. He says he wants to work with Trump but will be the proverbial “enemy within” backstabber. “Et tu Vivek?”. This guy can NOT be trusted ever! Nice though unmasking Ronna Delecto-Romney and Nimrata Haley. This is pure unfiltered unprepared reaction: he just realized he lost, body language in slow motion is valuable insight. And what a rat: “Save Trump, Vote Vivek”. No, he does NOT deserve the benefit of the doubt. Now prepare for BigMike Moochelle to be catapulted into the fray this spring.
Thank you – 100% on 🎯 !!
Do you really think the Mooch would actually want to work ?? … I know it will be all vacations, parties & photo-ops … but … it would no longer be her schedule – it would be the WH schedule … and they now have a “dead” personal chef.
So much for Vivek the CIA asset.
Classy move.
This helps Trump in New Hampshire, but Vivek was not polling very well there.
Trump and his supporters need to be gracious winners. We need to unite all the Republicans to win in November.
You nailed it.
I think the MAGA message should be expanded to be bigger, better more inclusive and most important more HONEST. My suggestion: MAGAGA!!!!!
MAKE AMERICA GREAT and GOOD AGAIN!
Goodness has always been a key component of making American great again.
It’s the very foundation of it.
I know that and agree with you. Still the battle is NOT about our greatness it is a battle between good and evil and I just think it behooves us to make that very clear.
Besides we the People – who else ???
Have a rally … and tell us how many Patriots show up – then we’ll talk.
Vivek of course had no prayer, but he could be a player in the future assuming Trump is allowed to win, assume, and exert control from the presidency (none of which I believe will be allowed to happen at this point).
Anywho, looks like (per Decision Desk HQ) that Trump only lost a single county of the 99 in Iowa (Johnson) to Nikita Haley (by a single vote); were Vivek realistic (as he did hurt Haley in the debates — they hate each other — Dot Fight!), he would have dropped out prior to Iowa and asked his supporters to support President Trump.
Oh well, Trump needs to dump his Secret Service protection unit (not to be trusted) and hire a bunch of John Wick-like personal security because (unlike Woodward in All The President’s Men): His “life is in danger.”
To presume omnipotence is to grant omnipotence.
Just don’t.
Trump can’t dump the Secret Service. They provide too much useful access. He can augment them. I highly doubt Trump trusts any current govt employee. No sane person is stupid enough to try and pull a Kennedy on him. They don’t want a martyr. They want him gone without a real insurrection on their hands. He needs a food taster or radium detector, not a bodyguard.
The bushCARTEL were players – what’s your point ??
People need to get a grip. The main complain of Vivek is that staying in distracts from Trump and takes votes from him. He got out and endorsed Trump, which is what we want. I support Trump 100% but some people need to chill.
All of the avalanche of Vivek supporters on this site “support” Trump “100%” … why would any REAL Patriot need to “chill”.
Do not walk in daylight.
I just don’t trust me. he has mike pence written all over him.
I’m waiting for Ben Carson. That gets my vote. I can feel confident that should succession happen FOR ANY REASON, a solid Christian Man not beholden to big money is standing by to lead the country is what would be most certainly the most critical and dangerous moment in presidential politics.
I am a contingency planner by trade and practice. I just don’t trust vivek has the integrity and the will power to stand up against the powerhouse corruptors that will come at him…offering him silver…threatening him. We have never seen him operate under that kind of pressure AND IT REALLY MAKES ME WONDER WHY THAT IS!
God Bless America
Because he tried to start at the top and avoid working hard to rise.
What does that mean??
He’s nothing like pence y’all are too wound up to the point you’re acting fanatical
Imputing emotionalism to impune the motives and thoughts of others is a tried and true tactic of the Left.
Ben Carson is a good man.
While I think Vivek is hoping to become Mike Pence part 2 (for the DS) which I am not a fan of, I will gladly take his messaging and supporters on the Trump Train.
Yes, we need his supporters. But why is Vivek saying we need an America First President? He’s inferring that if something happens to Trump, he is the only other America First candidate and therefore should be VP to carry on. But I don’t believe he’s truly America First and I don’t trust him. Words are cheap. I hope he is never in a position in the admin where he could undermine President Trump.
Who are the JUDASpence & Session supporters on the “Trump Train” ??
Vivek’s response was more gracious than Haley’s:
You can always count on the Babylon Bee to capture the moment perfectly. 😉
The Bee ROCKS!!
They remind me of The Wittenberg Door. An incredible Christian satire magazine of the 70’s.
Vivek can’t be trusted. His money came from brother Soros. He’s saying all the Maga/ Trump stuff to get into the administration… Infiltration. I hope Trump doesn’t fall for it. Seems like he recently understands Vivek as an imposter.
Trump was a statesmen tonight. May he be protected by angels.
🙏🙏🙏
Everything he says is so bloody .. . PERFECT. BUT I just can’t get past my INSTINCT … that says he probably committed SEC
FRAUD in pumping and dumping his useless cancer drug … but he’s too smart to actually behave like Elizabeth Holmes, who donned the uniform of Steve Jobs to SELL her FRAUDULENT magic blood machine. Vivek got away with what Holmes was trying to do. … to DEFRAUD investors in his magic cancer drug. She’s in JAIL … and Vivek is endorsing PDJT from his luxury suite in some hotel.
Sorry … all my spider senses are up on Vivek. He’s “too good” … too slick for my instincts. He needs a lot longer track record … like that of PDJT … before I buy any of his snake oil.
He needs about forty more years to grow up first.
But still won’t be a natural born citizen in my book
Indeed.
In forty years he may respect the wisdom of it.
“Vivek Is Not MAGA”
–President Donald Trump
I spent the entire day posting stuff against him on Twitter but now I’m happy that he conceded and endorsed Trump – although did he have any choice after copying DJT the entire tine? He made a name for himself…we’ll see what happens.
I fully expected him to endorse Donald Trump at some point since he has been vocalizing all the America First issues as if he believed them.
.
I didn’t hear any applause when he endorsed Trump. So much for “America First”. So I ask: who are these supporters.
.
Mass Psychosis- Yikes!! I was planning on voting for Vivek. He is exceptional . I am a Trump supporter but I was impressed by him and his age is more in line with he age our leaders should be. Mass – Think for yourself. Your attitude is beyond belief.
You lost me with the age discrimination. So, younger makes a candidate more qualified??
She lost me with being a “Trump supporter” who wanted to vote for Vivek
🎯🎯🎯
.
???? You are a Trump supporter but you were going to vote against Trump, and instead vote for a man who never has done anything at all in public service, who gathered Goldman Sachs hedge fund buddies to form a pharmaceutical startup that is essentially a conjob (ROIvant = “return on investment”) and made themselves hundreds of millions of dollars on the backs on investors who lost that money because they were impressed by his talking. That to me is a “yikes”.
.
Do you even realize that if you sub Trump for Vivek in that rant, it’s the same script the swamp used against Trump in ’16? Almost word for word except for the names.
except it is true.
are you dense?
.
Thank you. And Donald Trump did a lot for other people, including “diversity” hires on actual merit.
.
Weak.
Nice try, not!
^^^THIS^^^
“Vivek Is Not MAGA”
–President Donald Trump
MAGA for all the marbles.
Either you are with us or you’re not.
Looks like you’re not.
Glad it’s gone. His endorsement is only for the $$ he thinks he can make after Trumps win.
F Me Hard
I think everyone’s given up on their campaign mgrs, reading CTH for guidance instead
“Hurr durr, but he’s deep state!”
Where is DeSantis’s endorsement?
Who cares?
I like him. I don’t feel good about electing him until he has proven who he is and that he can perform
at the level required of a successful president. I haven’t seen a criticism of him in this section that is without merit.
He brought that doubt on himself by going for the top job to soon and some decidedly self centered actions.
Only time I’ve seen the wife. He seems to have a better spouse than Ron and Nikki’s husband.
But, I can’t put my finger on it, but he reminds me of Richard Nixon. Can’t explain why.
.
It’s the nose.
.
.
Or maybe the two fingers up “v” thing.
.
She’s a highly regarded medical doctor in her own right.
A lot of people liked RDS too and he did perform….until we realized his performance was just a facade created by the deep state to make us think he’d be a winning president.
“Vivek Is Not MAGA”
–President Donald Trump
You are good. Clap clap. You should ask for a raise.
Hey Vivek, to think I knew you when you were nothing which is exactly 15 minutes from now.
Bye, bye.
In news threads I see conversations hijacked & people always take the bait.
I expect far better here. What’s going on tonight? This community is better than many of the comments dictate.
Thank you Mr. Ramseorthy
But the real story of the night is why this post occurred.
Donald Trump won 99/99 counties in a heavily contested race in Iowa! ($77 million spent by opponents)
I’ve never see this in a contested race. He improved his 37 counties won in 2016 and swept the State!
Well done President Donald Trump!
Today, the only relevant take away was that Vivek helped Trump pull votes from Nikki and Ron and then endorsed Trump to those same (and other) voters.
All good today.
Tomorrow is another day.
PDJT didn’t need that help, and what Da Vek did do was in helping himself, not PDJT.
Before Vivek began speaking up on Jan 6, DoJ/FBI, fake media, we had DJT and MAGA folks. Who outside of MAGA was a significant voice spreading such truth, to networks who routinely censor those topics? Vivek, for whatever his intent, was a huge blessing, in my opinion.
He’s preserving his political future whether traitor or patriot. Smart move. Never show your hand.
Vivek would be a drag on Trump. I hope he wanders off into obscurity.
Vivek is a globalist. Example:
GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy told Elon Musk Friday that he favors more immigration into skilled U.S. jobs and that former President Donald Trump made a “poor decision” by exiting the Pacific-region free trade treaty.
“I think we should re-enter it,” Ramaswamy said to Musk about 94 minutes into the conversation on Twitter.
“I think this is a little bit different than what, you know, the course of action taken by Trump in exiting the
TPP [Trans-Pacific Partnership]. I think that was actually a poor decision.”
https://www.breitbart.com/2024-election/2023/07/29/vivek-ramaswamy-touts-pacific-trade-deal-urges-more-migration/
Shows he’s not exactly America first.
given his recent comments, i think enough people saw the luminescence off viv to make his usefulness moot.
IOW, he blew his cover.
Sounds like something an establishment mole would do……
Cmon guys, get a grip. Also, I had 2 other posts blocked. Why the censorship?
You really want to go there?
Filters and poster’s errors put things in the bin all the time.
Few jump straight to the censorship conclusion . . .
We shall see. I’ve had 2 posts not show up.
Be all that as it may, I wonder how fast people will have this sudden change of heart when Trump picks the kid to be in his administration. Suddenly, all these same people who are skeptical will, as if divine providence played a role, praise Vivek.
My theory still stands, and it is just as good an explanation as anyone elses:
Vivek got in the race with the blessing of Trump. Vivek essentially acted as a sort of John the Bapist, spreading the MAGA message to amplify Trump. I believe Trump was totally fine with Vivek in the race, and I think Vivek will get a post in the Trump administration.
I think Trump did have to do a little bit of bloodletting on the eve of Iowa JUST to make sure he won comfortably. He was very gentle with Vivek compared to his other competitors (be it in 2016 or 2024).
And while I don’t think Trump will pass the MAGA reigns to him. I think he did enough to at least have what could be considered a reasonable claim to be the leader of the movement once Trump is done. And that’s all Vivek really wanted in the first place.
The rest of it, to me, is paranoia on behalf of really punch drunk Trump fans.
One man’s paranoia is another man’s fever dreams.
You are full of 💩
