President Donald Trump is in the business of winning. He won in 2016 despite the prognosticators universally giving him no chance. He won again by a landslide in 2020, but the powers-that-be stole the victory from him. He’ll win again in 2024 if he decides to run, and hopefully by then we will have sniffed out enough of the voter fraud elements to prevent a repeat of 2020.
But it’s not just him who does the winning. He likes to pick winners and losers, especially when it comes to Republican candidates for public office. It’s more than just a hobby to him. He does so to solidify his position as the de facto leader of the Republican Party even if Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy are anointed to lead the Senate and/or House in the midterm elections.
Over the past few weeks, he has been making some peculiar endorsements. Some of them make a lot of sense; he had a big night with a pair of true America First candidates in Michigan. But oftentimes he has selected people who are clearly not aligned with the America First agenda or the MAGA movement. He’s chosen some who are essentially Democrats with a false (R) next to their names on the ballot. Dr. Mehmet Oz comes to mind as being the next Mitt Romney as a total RINO who will work against the policies Trump would put into place in 2025.
I’m going to explain why he does this, but I need to offer two disclaimers. First, I am not in any way trying to express approval for his endorsement style. It may seem like I’m trying to justify his moves by explaining the logic behind them, but as an America First purist I would never sacrifice my political worldview for the sake of an endorsement strategy. If I were advising Trump, I would recommend endorsing the best person to fill the office for the sake of their jurisdiction and the nation. I’d rather endorse someone who will likely lose but who would do an amazing job than a probable winner who will be a Democrat-lite in office.
The second caveat is this: I don’t really care about his endorsements. Knowing what I know about why he’s picking who he’s picking, his and pretty much every other endorsement of a candidate is completely worthless in my books. I hold it somewhat against him that he’s taking the strategic route rather than the ideologically sound route, but by no means will that dissuade me from supporting him should he choose to run again. He’d be more likely to lose my support by continuing to promote the jabs than by endorsing RINOs for the midterms.
With that said, here are the reasons why he’s making so many bad endorsements. The first and most important one is his desire to always be on the winning side. This isn’t just ego. It’s part of his strategy in maintaining the highest position of influence over the GOP. If he makes too many endorsements that don’t win, corporate media will be blasting out for weeks about how he has lost his importance in the eyes of Republican voters.
Moreover, he’s a numbers guy. He always had an unhealthy obsession with polls and statistics, and having the highest possible success percentage is extremely important to him. He wants to emerge from the primaries and then the midterms by being able to say something to the effect of, “99% of the people I endorsed won their races.”
The second reason he’s endorsing some RINOs is because of donor considerations. There are two groups of people in his ear about candidates: His advisors and representatives of his potential large donors. They make their recommendations based on what’s best for them. For his advisors, political considerations are more important than ideology. They’re supposed to pick winners. For his donors, it’s all about influencing Trump to back their people, and they’re willing to promise campaign and PAC contributions in exchange.
This second reason behind his endorsements may sound like shady politics, but here’s the thing. It’s just politics. I don’t like it but that’s really just the way it is. Trump is solid when it counts. His policies promote an America First agenda and he will hold the RINOs’ feet to the fire when the time comes. We saw what he did to Mitt Romney. Lest we forget, Trump endorsed him, too.
The third and most important reason is a personal situation with Trump. It’s both a strength and a weakness that he accumulates allies for the purpose of future consideration. He loves loyalty and expects those he helps to be there for him when he calls. In business, it was a tremendous strength. In politics, it yielded Rex Tillerson, Reince Priebus, Jeff Sessions, Omarosa Manigault Newman, Anthony Scaramucci, and a long list of other friends and allies who ended up being awful as part of his White House.
Dr. Joseph Mercola said, “Synthetic meat is the epitome of ultraprocessed food, and it seems naïve to think it won’t have health effects similar to other ultraprocessed junk foods.” For All-American REAL beef raised in pastures, sous vide, then freeze-dried for long-term storage, visit Whole Cows and use promo code “no junk” at checkout.
While I’m not concerned about his endorsements, I’m extremely concerned if he continues the practice into his second administration. They only way he’ll ever be able to drain the swamp is if he stops propping up swamp creatures. Mike Pence, John Kelly, and Bill Barr come to mind as people he surrounded himself with who were actually working against him the whole time. That can’t happen the second time around. He needs better discernment and a willingness to stop making promises.
The fatal flaw in his political style is that he’s a loyal person who expects others to maintain their loyalty to him. But other people generally aren’t like him. They will do what’s best for themselves, and if that means working against Trump behind his back, they’ll do it.
I was interviewed by Chad Caton on Brighteon TV to discuss this very topic:
We need to help America First candidates win their primaries, and sometimes that means going against Donald Trump’s endorsements. In the long run, he and America will be stronger because of these actions.

Trump was originally a Democrat and supported democrats including Clinton’s. He’s playing you all by pretending to be American first Republican style political figure. In business, just like politics, acting skills go far. Oh yeah, he was on tv so he was able to follow a script and act to… Hmm. I love his charisma and he cracks me up when he makes comments to intentionally push the buttons on the left. But make no doubts, he is still a swamp creature himself and a snake. He surrounds himself by the people he picks on purpose so that he can say “it wasnt my fault, I tried…” On top of all that, He still pushes the clot shots! I wish we had a truly American first option but he seems the only choice given the uniparty politics we have in reality.
Shut up you moron!

Much of what you say is true but this is his very weak spot
A great manager is judged by the people he appoints under him to run things and this is where he fails
It will not change
That is why only his family help him in his business ventures
I also will vote for him a third time, but if and when he wins I am positive we will be left with a Biden act a like when he leaves
That will be to bad because he had a chance to be a great President
again with the “Trump is a democrat” BS, give it up pal, you only look stupid
Sometimes Trump endorses people to put the spotlight on them, then the truth comes out later when people do their research. Dr. Oz has major problems and will not be elected when people find out what he does and believes. DYOR on Oz & Marina Abromovich and his belief to support young children to have sex change operations. No, I don’t think he’ll be elected.
Trump has slithered in the pit and knows what a viper is and how evil these creatures are. Just you wait to find out who Trump is. The LORD is using Trump in a mighty way. He is leaps and bounds ahead of the crowd before they even realize they’ve been played. He was trying to provoke the left on Twitter to expose themselves. I’m sure they all had blanket pardons from BO. They’re all going down. I do believe some have already had trials and been executed for being a traitor. You don’t really believe FauxJoe is the real Joe Biden do you? You need glasses if you think he, his “wife”, HRC, and the whole crowd are still around. I’m just expressing my opinion.
