Trump was elected the President of the United States in November of 2024, and the result has been a wave of a new way of thinking and American strength throughout the country … and the world. The last gasps of the old guard ran out of air during the battle over the new spending bill, and while the final product was not perfect, the fact that it went down from over 1,500 pages to 118 pages and it passed both Houses of Congress easily is evidence of how the Trump Effect is already in play. Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, while under a lot of scrutiny and criticism, to his credit was in constant communication with Trump and his team-members like Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy. Legislators largely fell into line, clearly fitting into three categories: those who support Trump’s Agenda, those who hate Trump and plan to be resisters to his policies, and those who may not be a fan of Trump’s policies but realizes that they better vote along with the Trump Effect or find themselves out of office during the next election. They understand something that the Democrats don’t seem to recognize – the court of public opinion is watching.
The world is watching, too. There is only one thing the eyes of the world is watching: the resurrection of Donald J. Trump as President of the United States. While some may be counting down the days to Christmas, most of us are also counting the days to January 20, 2025. The rest of the world is doing the same, and has also responded to the election of Trump as President. Ukraine and Russia are ready to pull back militarily, perhaps not completely, but the light at the end of the tunnel of the war in that region of the world seems to have appeared on the horizon. Ukraine’s Zelenskyy is talking peace with Russia as Israel suddenly finds itself not being lectured by a weak American President. Gaza has indicated they may plan to talk about a release of the hostages they are holding. The political landscapes in Syria, Iraq and Lebanon (to name a few of a long list) have changed dramatically. Iran has pulled way back from their funding and influence of Middle East terrorism. The attacks against Israel have become nearly silent.
The threat of tariffs have countries like China, Mexico, Canada and other worldwide trade-partners willing to play nice when it comes to not only trade policies, but other policies as well – like immigration and border policy. Countries in Europe are feeling the Trump Effect, with many of them moving away from their leftist perches. South American countries are also taking notice, and their general populace are calling for moving in the same direction as Argentina of late. Nigel Farage is gaining momentum in Britain as the leftists see their power slipping through their fingers. Global CEOs and investors are embracing Trump’s economic agenda. American business titans suddenly want to follow Elon Musk’s lead and work with the new President. Crypto-currency is rising in value, as is the general mood of the stock market and a long list of other investments. The business sector around the world is poised for growth and the larger players are already starting to move in the direction of investing in growth. NATO is listening, and the United Nations is showing a bit of a nervous twitch. Tax cuts, deregulation and a stronger international voice both at the border and abroad is on the way and the world is responding. The “State of Emergency” that the United States Government has been using as an excuse for destructive leftist policies is on its way out the door, and the world has taken notice.
There is a way to be strong and prosperous and the path is not through war, appeasement, nor socialist or social justice policies. A new day is dawning. Trump’s Agenda is all that matters, but as it happens remember we have checks and balances in our system, and the game still needs to be played and the opposition of Trump knows it and will try to obstruct at every turn. Let’s not underestimate Trump’s opponents. The enemy may look like it is breathing desperate final gasps, but be aware the war against Trump by the hard left, the identity politics purveyors and jokers like those at the New Republic and the left-wing legacy media is going to heighten. They fight dirty, they lie, and they are willing to use diabolical methods and tactics to protect their communist and/or Anti-Trump narrative. As they have proven regarding the January 6 Insurrection narrative they are willing to destroy lives to maintain their narrative, their power and their ability to enrich themselves. This is no time to be weak, or apathetic. Trump’s famous words are now fully in play – Fight! Fight! Fight! Let’s remain a part of the movement. All hands on deck. A new dawn is in fact on the horizon, but (to borrow a phrase from the leftist social warrior idiots), it takes all of us.
