President Trump delivers a T47 policy video covering the topic of homelessness, drug addiction and dangerously deranged. [Direct Rumble Link]
“For a small fraction of what we spend upon Ukraine, we could take care of every homeless veteran in America. Our veterans are being treated horribly.” ~ President Donald Trump
We should do the same thing with all our social service programs: “Here, you own this house now. You have a real stake in the future of your community.”

I have known of people who were given darling homes for very little, and they turned around and sold it for more money. I’m not sure that is particularly fair.
Trump has put forward A LOT of policies. I wonder which ones other candidates disagree with. It all seems like they run on being nice and not being Trump
He pretty clearly said work with the states. I don’t see it as bad. America will be great again whe you don’t have to walk through human feces in what were incredible cities of the past
I think back to the speech Eisenhower gave about the cost of one B52 being able to build 30 schools.
But talk for a minute about shrinking the defense budget and everyone howls.
Trump isn’t talking about that. No one talks about that.
“He pretty clearly said work with the states.”
Using what extended federal authority or what expanded uses of present federal authority????
If Presidents just stuck to truly federal issues, and had budgets that reflected that, every state would be better off minus all the strings that come with federal meddling and “aid”.
The next president needs to secure the southern border and there is no greater national immediate domestic need than that. A president may comment on how certain states are mishandling what is in their responsibility to handle, but we need to reverse the many decades of the growth of the federal government in domestic affairs, not continue anything as is or add to anything that is already being done.
The poorly run states will continue to lose people. That’s tough, but that is not a federal issue, because 99% of what ails them is not derived from federal policies.
Unfortunately running on cutting the “defense” budget would kill any republicans chances of being elected.
DeSantis is dangerously deranged with TDS. That’s why I call him Ron Derangement.
I agree 100%.
Patriots need to get ill-advised Trump up to speed on unconstitutional federal taxes so that he can put a stop to such taxes, ultimately leading the states to repeal the 16th and 17th Amendments to put a permanent stop to such taxes.
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
“If the tax be not proposed for the common defence, or general welfare, but for other objects, wholly extraneous, (as for instance, for propagating Mahometanism among the Turks, or giving aids and subsidies to a foreign nation, to build palaces for its kings, or erect monuments to its heroes,) it would be wholly indefensible upon constitutional principles [emphases added].” — Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2 (1833).
”Simply this, that the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Constitution, is in the States and not in the federal government [emphases added]. I have sought to effect no change in that respect in the Constitution of the country.” —John Bingham, Congressional. Globe. 1866, page 1292 (see top half of third column)
Pelosi: "We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it." (non-FR; 6 sec.)
“Cherish, therefore, the spirit of our people, and keep alive their attention. If once they become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, judges and governors, shall all become wolves [emphasis added]. It seems to be the law of our general nature.” - Thomas Jefferson (Letter to Edward Carrington January 16, 1787)
Democrats Are Terrified Of An Educated And Informed Public (3.12.23)
The states need to eliminate the unconstitutional middleman, the unconstitutionally big federal government, from "helping" the states to manage their revenues.
Once unconstitutional federal taxes are stopped, then the states will ultimately find new revenues to deal with their elite Democratic and RINO-manufacturd problems instead of regularly having to beg for vote-buying "federal" funding that is arguably stolen state revenues anyway.
In fact, Justice Louis Brandeis had introduced his "laboratories of democracy" metaphor to emphasize the 10th Amendment powers of the states to serve the people.
"[...] a single courageous State may, if its citizens choose, serve as a laboratory; and try novel social and economic experiments without risk to the rest of the country." —Justice Louis Brandeis, Laboratories of Democracy.
In the meanwhile, when Trump-47 finishes draining the swamp by working with the states to surrender state powers that the feds have been stealing from the states back to the states and cleaning up the judiciary, he can spend the rest of his 2nd term on golf course, appropriately symbolic for a peacetime president of the constitutionally limited power federal government imo.
The poorly run states will continue to lose people.
That’s tough, but that is not a federal issue, because 99% of what ails them is not derived from federal policies.
Thanks for posting the reality versus the verbage!
I love and respect this man! He confronts issues that seem untenable and pledges to fix them. He knows it’s a gargantuan task, but he does not shrink from it. His is a solitary voice that understands the need to stop wasting our time, treasure, and resources solving the World’s problems while ignoring our citizens’ and our country’s needs. God Bless President Trump. God speed his re-election.
