America is sinking among the waves of incompetence, impotence, and fiscal incontinence of democratic socialist President Joe Biden.
It is jarring to recall how much brighter things looked just 27 months ago, after four years of President Donald J. Trump’s triumphs, and before Biden arrived and wrecked everything.
From A to Z, here are 26 things that Trump got right:
- Abraham Accords: Trump brokered four peace agreements among Israel and its neighbors — Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Morocco, and Sudan.
- Border Wall: Trump’s 458-miles of concrete and steel fortified the border and curbed illegal immigration before Biden obliterated America’s southern frontier.
- Consular offices in Jerusalem were upgraded to a U.S. embassy, thus enforcing the relevant statute that presidents Clinton through Obama circumvented.
- Deregulation: Trump promised to kill two old regulations for every new one imposed. American Action Forum counts 4.7 existing rules junked per new one implemented.
- Energy independence: Trump achieved the impossible dream of U.S. self-reliance and then made America globally dominant as a net exporter of energy for the first time since 1952.
- Freedom-of-speech protection, per Trump’s executive order, became a prerequisite for colleges to receive federal funds.
- Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett joined the Supreme Court. Meanwhile, 223 other constitutionalists whom Trump nominated reached the federal bench.
- Historically Black Colleges and Universities scored an advocacy office in the White House, a permanent stream of federal funds, and year-round Pell Grants, to aid their summer school students. HBCU presidents begged Obama in vain for these things. Trump invited them to the Oval Office in his fifth week in Washington, listened, and approved their requests.
- Iran nuclear deal: Killed.
- Javelin anti-tank missiles that Trump provided have helped Ukraine stymie Russian invaders.
- Keystone XL Pipeline: Approved.
- Little Rocket Man, Kim Jong Un, met thrice with Trump. While North Korea did not scrap its nuclear-weapons program, it conducted zero atomic tests after this odd couple first huddled in Singapore on June 12, 2018. Kim detonated four nukesunder Obama-Biden.
- Mexico, Canada, and the U.S. signed a new trade deal that replaced the North American Free Trade Agreement.
- NATO’s finances soared, as Trump prodded U.S. allies to boost Western collective defense by $400 billion through 2024.
- Opportunity Zones incentivized $78 billion in private capital to 8,768 largely low-income, minority communities.
- Poverty fell to a rate of 10.5%, the lowest since 1959, when federal figures began. Before COVID-19 unleashed Hell on Earth, the strongest economy in 60 years drove black poverty to 18.8%, a record low.
- Qasem Soleimani, Iranian Revolutionary Guard chief, was droned to smithereens on Trump’s order. Tehran’s ayatollahs promptly learned some manners.
- Right to Try legislation freed terminally ill patients to use promising cures that awaited FDA approval.
- Space Force: Trump’s out-of-this world promise became reality as the Pentagon’s newest armed service.
- Tax Cuts and Jobs Act: This $1.9 trillion tax reduction unleashed massive economic growth that most benefitted lower-income Americans.
- Unemployment hit all-time lows for blacks and Hispanics and triggered the least female unemployment since September 1953.
- Veterans secured broader medical freedoms through VA Choice and swift punishment for abusive VA employees.
- Washington, D.C.’s school-voucher program was reauthorized with a $45 million appropriation.
- Xi Jinping and other Chinese Communist Party members restrained themselves when Trump deployed his Peace through Strength strategy. Under Biden, Red China does whatever it wants, from an unprecedented mock blockade of Taiwan to spy balloons vacuuming intelligence over America to US-based CCP “police stations” that terrorize dissidents.
- Yes votes for the First Step Act totaled 358 in the House (including 176 Democrats) and 87 in the Senate (among them, 47 Democrats). This overwhelmingly bipartisan criminal-justice-reform measure let non-violent prisoners, many black, return to their communities.
- Zero American wars began under Trump. The dovish consequences of his hawkish command were exactly opposite the “Push the nuclear button NOW!” belligerence that his deranged critics forecast.
Wouldn’t four more years of Trump be better than four years of Biden?

Controlling Protein Is One of the Globalists’ Primary Goals
Between the globalists, corporate interests, and our own government, the food supply is being targeted from multiple angles. It isn’t just silly regulations and misguided subsidies driving natural foods away. Bird flu, sabotaged food processing plants, mysterious deaths of entire cattle herds, arson attacks, and an incessant push to make climate change the primary consideration for all things are combining for a perfect storm to exacerbate the ongoing food crisis.
The primary target is protein. Specifically, they’re going after beef as the environmental boogeyman. They want us eating vegetable-based proteins, lab-grown meat, or even bugs instead of anything that walked the pastures of America. This is why we launched a long-term storage prepper beef company that provides high-quality food that’s shelf-stable for up to 25-years.
At Prepper All-Naturals, we believe Americans should be eating real food today and into the future regardless of what the powers-that-be demand of us. We will never use lab-grown beef. We will never allow our cattle to be injected with mRNA vaccines. We will never bow to the draconian diktats of the climate change cult.
Visit Prepper All-Naturals and use promo code “veterans25” to get 25% off plus free shipping on Ribeye, NY Strip, Tenderloin, and other high-quality cuts of beef. It’s cooked sous vide, then freeze dried and packaged with no other ingredients, just beef. Stock up for the long haul today.
XYZ says wake up
Trump is an idiot, who I will vote for again if he is the nominee because the other side is pure evil and they are destroying this country. Trump had the opportunity and mandate to clean this up once he took office. The dummy kept Comey there for 3-6 months then took the advice of the tub Christie and choose the corrupt liar Wray, who Trump never fired. Trump said Clinton would be in jail, but then he appointed people that protected her, her husband and their criminal enterprises. Session was a world class dummy who immediately betrayed Trump and more importantly the country, yet Trump kept him on for a year. Then with great flourish, he appointed Barr who has made a career as ass cover for the Bushes, Clinton, Obamas, and Bidens.
Trump is a causality of his own stupidity.
And clearly, he has learned nothing, and the Dems know that and want him to be the nominee. The Dems will clearly try to again steal the POTUS and other elections in 2024, with a lot of funding coming from the money being sent to Ukraine that is being funneled back here. There is no accounting whatsoever on this money or equipment sent to the Ukraine, just the way the Dems, Rhinos, and people like Soros like it. Trump makes a steal much easier and however absurd the claim will be that the election was fair, with Trump that absurdity gains slight plausibility. They will steal in any case, but they will have many more allies in doing so if Trump is the nominee. If Trump was a not the gigantic narcissist that he is, but a decent, responsible, intelligent person, he would realize he is a perpetual distraction from all the egregious ills and crimes of those running Biden and the rest of the Dem establishment, and he would drop out for the good of the country.
Trump failed miserably in his four years in several critical areas: DOJ/FBI/DOD/CIA to name four. Not a single indictment of anyone of any significance and not a single day in jail for anyone despite the massive, clear and obvious crimes committed by the Clintons and Obama and those crimes committed by the FBI and DOJ and their cronies; These departments and agencies are under whoever is POTUS, and for his four years it was Trump in charge, and he accomplished nothing, made things worse, helped the election to be stolen through negligence and stupidity. His failures were so great it almost seems they could not have been unintentional, but Trump’s accomplished these calamities through astonishingly mindboggling bad judgments and decisions, which has never improved over the four years and beyond.
It is like having invested money with Madoff, losing everything and then Madoff comes back and says he has a great deal and will fix everything he lied about before. Who would be nuts enough to go along with him again? It is the Dem dream for Trump to be the nominee.
As has been said, “Personnel are Policy”. Let’s look at Trump’s judgment. It was clear there would be a vigorous attempt to steal the 2020 POTUS and other elections. Trump who was betrayed for years by Wray and Barr, kept them in place and not only did they betray him, they betrayed the American people and allowed a coup to take place voiding our Constitutional Republic. Not only did they stand down during and after the election, they helped facilitate and protect the steal in advance of the election. Trump has learned nothing. Trump’s character is gold leafed crap….he is narcissist and an idiot who cannot tell friend from foe, who cannot rise above his pettiness and adolescent petulance, who is never, ever man enough to take responsibility for the consequences of his horrendous judgment and decisions, that led him to having four very difficult years and beyond, and the country to a stolen election with Biden installed, run by people who hate this country, its citizens, the rule of law, and personal freedom, except for themselves. It has been a disaster in pretty much every way; an attack on reality, objectivity, fact, truth, fairness and all else that are the foundations of decent and healthy social and civic structures, with equal opportunities, secured by the rule of law. The judgment of Trump put us in this situation: Ivanka, Kushner, Sessions, Wray, Barr, Bolton, Mathis, Kelly, McMasters, Milley, Rudy, the CIA directors, Tillerson, McDaniel, all three SC appointees, none come close to Scalia, Thomas, or Alito. All three voted against the TX 2020 election lawsuit supported by 18-20 other State AGs. Kavanaugh and Barrett are far closer to Kennedy than to Scalia. His WH staff, with few exceptions, and his WH lawyers. Fauci and Birx were both stupid choices to lead when the health and the economy of the country were at stake. Fauci in particular has a history of terrible failure on many important health care issues, including AIDS. Trump’s Warp Speed initiative was a stupid man appointing corrupt people that created massive immediate problems and grave long-term health and economic concerns as a consequence of lies, suppression of information, manipulation and worse felonies. Another idiotic Trump decision, for which he denies any responsibility, and as has become his custom, claims his stupidity has led to wonderful results, despite all the evidence and tragedy to the contrary. A responsible, decent, intelligent person would withdraw.
DeSantis 2024: intelligence with integrity and outstanding judgment. Nobody’s fool, rather than everybody’s fool.
