Well, 2 impeachments did help either.

The Deep State and Congress blocking him every step of the way.

Not to mention disloyal staff.

That video ought to be required viewing in a required Economics class in high school.

Elementary school viewing, perhaps.

But it only tells a small part of the story (and it does that for a reason). I'd show it in third grade.

That could be interesting. Trump has his libertarian side, maybe he'll speak to that.

Will RFK speak to that convention as well?

Or is that only if Trump will debate him there?

Well the Revolutionaries executed the ruling class. And, I wandered why. But the prospect of seeing a few of these traitors swing from a rope is heartwarming.

Thank you. I’ll check it out.

It is the most contrived war in history.

The first thing Biden did in office was sign an executive order launching his energy policy-oil was 10% higher 5 days later and is currently 50% higher in price.

It is our energy policy (which resulted in Russia GDP up 50% under Biden and $91billion/yr extra in oil revs to Russia) vs our tax dollars.

They spike energy prices enriching the likes of Russia, Iran et al and war ensues most of the time.

If Republicans in Congress were living up to what they always said they believed they would have supported restraints on spending and cuts in budgets, but McConnell and Ryan didn’t want to do that.

There were objections to Trump early on because he wasn’t a “real” Republican or conservative. “Real” Republicans and conservatives in DC concentrated on fighting Trump, rather than in implementing what they said was the Republican or conservative agenda.
