It’s a statement I always make and live by: if people aren’t trying to kill you, you aren’t doing a good enough job. The goal in life isn’t to make friends with everyone; they should want rather to kill you instead, and when they fail, as we are seeing with Trump, then they’ll want to be your friend. And when everyone is wondering where the resistance is to Trump this time, in 2025 as opposed to 2017 at this same time of year, at the Inauguration for another four years as president, my old gunfighter analysis of the bar and the room certainly applies. And I know that Trump doesn’t want to send the wrong signal and let the bad guys out there know he had to take measures to protect himself. Even as risky as I am, I would never advise someone like Trump to give a speech from the steps of the Capitol, where for miles around there are thousands of places within a mile or so that could take a shot at him out in the open or for a drone to lock on his position and do its menace. It’s always a good idea to move locations and schedule times when you have a lot of bad guys out there who want to kill you; it is just as good practice.
Just because they want to do something doesn’t mean you let them do it. After the last eight years, they have thrown everything they could at the President, and Trump is still doing what I have wanted to see for many years now: return to the White House. His enemies were reduced to a whimper, certainly not a roar like last time. This time was very different, and Trump played it all right. When you conquer your enemies, keep them close and let them serve you, as was the obvious case with Jeff Bezos, Snoop Dogg, and Mark Zuckerberg, along with many others who made sure they were making friends with this new power, rather than fighting against it, as they had in the past.
But even with all that said, moving the Inauguration into the Capitol Rotunda was brilliant because of the bitter cold. As if Trump needed a reason to say it, the cold weather was setting up a no-win situation for the crowd that traveled all over the country to share in the Inauguration experience. Having a million people in the mall would look great for the cameras, but there are always people who would freeze, even if the percentage was less than 1%. Once everyone starts using porta potties outside in temperatures below zero, you will have big problems, and it was better to avoid all those for obvious reasons. The crowd would either be huge, but you would lose some people in the cold, or it would be smaller than usual because of the cold, and Trump would be criticized for a smaller crowd. When you take all that and consider that there are people from all over the world who do want to kill Trump so he doesn’t change things in a way they can’t deal with, it was best just to move everything inside. All that matters is that Trump gets sworn in, and we start to fix the mess that a lot of flawed characters put forward to destroy our country. Trump’s swearing-in makes everything official and corrects a course that should have never been disrupted in the first place.
But let’s answer the question that everyone who was an enemy is now asking: where is the resistance to Trump? Well, I said all this initially, the first time around in January of 2021, when Trump won clearly and decisively, and we witnessed a coup in America, but a lot of evil people who stole the election, sent Trump packing, then inserted Joe Biden into the office. And they never let him make the decisions. Instead, the White House was run by a globalist committee, and a lot of bad stuff was started, like canceling the Keystone Pipeline, undoing all the patriotic events Trump had planned, disgracing our offices with transgender radicals, Marxist kingpins, and an energy policy that robbed money right out of our wallets.
It was a war against us all by a few very manipulative soothsayers who were committed to globalism and a China-first policy. And it was raw and malicious. They never dreamed there would be a day that Trump would return to the White House with the full support of a country that came together for the effort. But here we are. I said it all along and am very proud to see it all come together exactly as I said. Yes, I was invited to several VIP events in Washington, D.C. I did other events but decided not to go to Washington because I didn’t think I’d get close to Trump this time. It’s much more complicated than it used to be. And I’m not the second fiddle type. So, knowing it was going to be so cold, I stayed regional so I could enjoy all the festivities from relative comfort because I had been waiting for this for a long time. I never just liked to be a face in the crowd; that is essentially what traveling to Washington, D.C., would have been like.
I have several friends who did go, and they had a good time. But when it comes to something like this, which is truly historic, I like to see everything, and watching it on television was the best way to see the details. And I couldn’t get enough of it. I watched the coverage all weekend, especially on Monday, without taking my eyes away, except to shake hands with people I barely recognized because I enjoyed the Inauguration so much, every incredible detail. After Biden was put in place in 2021 with COVID lockdowns imposed everywhere, I was so angry that I packed up my wife and my RV, and we headed out into the desert to write a book and get my mind right. I stayed out there for weeks and returned with a fresh perspective on how to fight this battle. And what happened at the inauguration was a dream come true. And it was gratifying to see all of Trump’s enemies licking his shoes. That’s what real power is, the kind of power that makes people want to kill you. And when they fail, and only when they fail, do they want to be your friend. But Trump isn’t a sucker. He knows this game, and the bad guys won’t sucker him. Instead, we will see what we deserve for sticking with Trump through tough times. We earned the good things that are coming because we had the guts to vote for it. But this time, we didn’t let them steal it from us as we had done in the previous election. And the world should be concerned. They know what they did, and now they are caught, and the shoe is on the other foot. And justice is coming as it always should have.
