Not really. No one knew who he was. He had to wear a name tag. Lol

He absolutely is an American in his being. He may have roots in India but he sees the greatness of this country and its history. Check his writings and his comments.

Good question. If not, Ramaswamy’s just another Nikky Haley.

I like the guy, but...

Like Trump and Elon before him, Vivek R. does not have a mature understanding about what happens to center-right business owners who suddenly seek national political leadership.

Here comes the MSN character assassination, the lawsuits, and the indictments!

It’s amazing how many people don’t know the difference between the qualifications for being a U.S. citizen versus the qualifications for being President. They are not the same.

Tech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, who announced his candidacy for president Tuesday during an interview with Fox News’ Tucker Carlson, has revealed what actions he intends to take on day one if elected president.

On Twitter Tuesday evening, just hours after becoming the third Republican in the 2024 race alongside former President Donald Trump and former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley, Ramaswamy said he would end Affirmative Action on the first day of a potential administration.

“As U.S. President, I will end federally mandated affirmative action - full stop,” he tweeted.
America’s strength is not our diversity but the ideals that unify us across our differences. Merit. Free speech. Truth. Accountability. I believe deep in my bones these ideals still exist, and I am running for President to revive them.

In the post, he criticized other Republican presidents who failed to take such actions during their own presidencies: “I will repeal Lyndon Johnson’s Executive Order 11246 which mandates race-based quotas. Every Republican since Johnson had the opportunity to do it. I’ll do it on Day 1 without apology.”

His agenda would also include dismantling climate change, putting an 8-year limit on federal bureaucrats, eliminating “worthless” federal agencies, becoming totally independent of China, protecting political expression as a civil right, and combating and “annihilating” drug cartels.

And yet people still fall for it when the globalists send a billionaire our way. (See also: Thiel, Musk, the Koch brothers, etc.)

Many so called conservatives are under the hood haters of people who look different. It is because they are not confident in their own abilityh to compete with them. Every intelligent American I came across in my 63 years in USA, respected meritocracy. Bigots and racists are low intelligence people who are afraid to compete in a meritocracy.

No one can pronounce the name, let alone recognize it, and watch the Dems go xenophobic when it suits them. But he’s definitely someone to watch. We’ll have dueling billionaires.

This guy is a WEF YGL. If you look now at the WEF you will NOT see his name listed - it was scrubbed. Here is a wayback link of 1/5/23, and it is there:

Are the piano players there to debate (with musical highlights!) or not to debate, just to add musical drama overall?

Hey, it could be interesting!

:-)
