New Trump Era Brings Virtue and Greatness
Keep in mind that, if tens of thousands of federal jobs sud- denly ended, the economy would take a hit. Ultimately, Trump’s mission may rely as much on raising GDP than on reducing federal expenditures. That’s be- cause greater economic activity makes deficits more tolerable. During the dot-com boom un-
der then-President Bill Clinton in the mid- to late-1990s, for ex- ample, deficits continued to grow in absolute terms, but declined as a percentage of U.S. GDP. If the Trump administration
can emulate that success, hold- ing the line on federal spending overall while stimulating eco- nomic growth through easing regulatory burdens, lowering cor- porate taxes, and revving up U.S. energy production — it could win on the deficit even if its growth soon resumes. That’s because re- ducing the deficit relative to the size of the overall economy could indeed set the stage for an Ameri- can gilded age.
MAKE AMERICA SAFE
Musk, one of the world’s richest men, stunned the media world in October 2022 by buying X (formerly Twitter). He would go on to expose how the federal government had pressured Twit- ter’s prior management to sup- press free speech. When asked why, in the
presidential campaign’s closing weeks, he threw vast resources and support behind Trump’s bid for a second term, Musk ex- plained that he believed Demo- crats and the deep state were close to importing enough illegal migrant voters to seize perma- nent control of the federal gov- ernment. “If you have a state that has a
10-20,000 vote margin, and you put 200,000 illegals into that
HORRIFIC The murder of Laken Riley, the 22-year-old university nursing student who went for a jog and never returned after being kidnapped and bludgeoned to death by a 26-year-old illegal migrant from Venezuela, stirred fury among Americans at the Biden- Harris administration’s immigration policies. On Capitol Hill, Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, held a poster of Riley and Sarah Root, 21, who was killed by an illegal immigrant who was driving drunk. Due to a loophole in federal law, he never faced justice.
state,” the tech billionaire told radio’s Rogan, “[and] you put 10 times the illegals . . . it’s not a swing state anymore. It’s going to vote blue. And once the swing states vote blue, there is no elec- tion anymore. There’s only a Democratic primary.” If Trump lost, he warned,
2024 would be remembered as America’s last free election. Most voters think Trump’s
border agenda involves building a wall, ending welfare payments to illegals, and stopping the flood of undocumented migrants. While that’s all true, Trump,
like Musk, has a larger objective in mind: defending the territo- rial sovereignty of the United States of America. “The drug cartels are waging
war on America,” Trump de- clared in one campaign video, “and now it’s time for America to wage war on the cartels.” One statistic indicating
Trump’s remarks are not mere hyperbole: Fentanyl smuggled across the border by the cartels
has become the leading cause of death for Americans between the ages of 18 and 45, accounting for more than 70,000 lives lost annually. It’s a staggering number, sub-
stantially more than U.S. deaths during the entire Vietnam War. China ships the precursor ma- terials to the cartels, who then manufacture the deadly narcot- ics and hire mules to carry it across the border. Those cartels, which operate
with relative impunity south of the border — and occasionally north of it as well — also profit off of massive human smuggling and trafficking operations. Anyone doubting the tragic consequences of the current cha- otic state of U.S. immigration need only consider the horrific story of Laken Riley, the 22-year- old university nursing student who went for a jog and never returned after being kidnapped and bludgeoned to death by a 26-year-old illegal migrant from Venezuela.
