Elon Musk’s America Party: Democrats will never recover, Republicans will thrive

You can imagine how it was for Elon Musk. Many believe that he was befriending President Trump to ensure the future of electric cars. However, once Tesla suffered a significant loss in market share because Musk was associated with MAGA, the shareholders became very concerned.  Then, when the Big Beautiful Bill came out, it seemed as though Musk had not influenced Trump at all.  Musk has been a Democrat for years and has even called himself a socialist.  So all this MAGA stuff was new to him, and he was losing employees at his companies because of his political affiliation.  So I understand Musk’s need to distance himself from Trump because it was hurting his companies, and the fun wore off.  I do think he was sincerely a MAGA supporter, but the DOGE effort was much more difficult, and the government spending was much worse than he understood it to be. The criticism that there wasn’t a trillion dollars in savings found in those first couple of months was something he couldn’t deal with.  Tesla dealerships were being bombed by radical Democrats, people who had formerly supported Musk. Not that he felt Trump had abandoned him on the EV mandate.   From his point of view, it was all for nothing, and he lost billions of dollars in the process, with the added consequence of losing market share in his brand.  However, the EV car mandate was never going to be implemented during the Trump administration, and the critics of Musk were never going to let him live it down.  I understand his anger; it costs a lot of money to have values in the world, and that is a price that Musk just isn’t willing to pay.  He was a converted personality who moved from Democrat to MAGA.  So, none of this fighting is in his soul.  And when things got rough, he wavered. 

But with all this fear of a third party being created and that it’s going to rot out the Republican Party, that’s not how it is.  Elon Musk’s America Party is likely to turn out to be another DOGE, an ambitious project that has a lot more political reality to it than will ultimately work in his favor.  The Republican Party has already gone through a renovation period, and it is now the MAGA Party, and that’s how it’s going to emerge over these next four years.  It’s the Democrats that have the problems, and they are now going through what the Republican Party went through during the last thirty years.  I remember it well because I was part of that change in the Republican Party and I can say with confidence that Musk’s America Party will split the Democrat Party in two, and even then, many will not join because their lives will be so good under President Trump, that it will stay a fringe effort that never really gets much traction.  When George H.W. Bush was in the White House, right after Reagan, he wasn’t very effective, and the Reform Party started as a response under Ross Perot.  And I was one of the very first members, and I had a front row seat to how it formed.  And over the next decade, people like Pat Buchanan and Donald Trump joined the party to try to run as kind of independent candidates alongside mainstream Republicans.  As a result, Democrats had a period where they won majorities because Republicans were splitting their votes. 

The Reform Party evolved into the Tea Party, and again, mainstream Republicans attempted to co-opt them and pull them back into the mainstream.  However, it didn’t work, and that effort evolved into the MAGA party with Trump’s announcement that he would run for president in 2015.  And we know how hard that has been.  Up until a few months ago, it was a death blow socially to admit that anybody supported President Trump.  It wasn’t easy, and then some.  So these political parties are not for the faint of heart.  I remember in just the last election, the RINO label hung heavy on mainstream politicians, and most of them have been pushed out of office, people like Thom Tillis and Mitch McConnell, people who used to be political heavyweights, but were washed away by the tide.   Instead, you can see the kind of misfits who are talking about joining Musk in the America Party, people like Mark Cuban and Anthony Scaramucci, all former Trump rejects.  The next thing we’ll hear is that Omarosa is going to join, too, and perhaps even Stormy Daniels.  Putin might be next, and maybe the former country of Iran.  What the America Party is going to look like is the island of misfit toys who have fallen out of Trump’s orbit and are upset about it.  It will turn out to be the crybaby party and will run out of steam relatively quickly as everyone involved realizes how hard it is to accomplish these things.  I used to spend time with the Perot family during the early days of the Reform Party, and let me say, even brilliant people underestimate how difficult it is to beat the two-party system.  Because two parties emerge for a reason, by mathematical necessity, not sentiment, you could have in America many parties, as they do in Europe and elsewhere, but the problem is, nobody ever wins a majority, and those experiments usually fall apart quickly.

But when Musk’s America Party splits the Democrats in two and harms them much more than it will the Republicans, people in the MAGA movement will see the distinct benefit.  As I have been saying, if Trump can get election reform to prevent cheating, Democrats may have a hard time winning everywhere, because they have been counting on election fraud just to stay close for decades.  So I say let Musk have his America Party and bleed away Democrats.  Because the Democrats are destroyed right now as they are turning hard left toward open communism and socialism, they were always Marxist oriented, and now many of them are without a Party, and they aren’t happy about it.  And Musk is one of them.  It was fun to be “Dark MAGA” until he realized the cost of that, and for many people, it’s just too great a burden day to day.  It might be fun during elections, but politics is a rough life, and Musk will find that it takes more than an engineer’s mind to solve the problems, because they are primarily psychological.  I think the America Party, with MAGA, will only get stronger, and there will be greater majorities in Congress during the midterms.  So I think it would be a healthy exercise for the former Democrats to explore, let them fight it out between socialism and communism, and show the world what they have always been.  It won’t be MAGA Republicans who peel away, and the RINOs will stay where the tax burdens are least.  They won’t be joining Musk.  It will only be those who are already considered Democrats, as Musk has been.  His self-interest drove his conversion to the Republican Party, and it didn’t work out the way he had hoped.  So he was always at best a fair-weather fan.  And the creation of another political party only hurts Democrats.  I don’t care what the polling says, because they don’t know how to ask the right questions yet.  This is a new political climate, and the old models are not adequate measures.  With the creation of the America Party, it will destroy the Democrat Party and will leave many little disjointed parties grabbing for power for decades.  By then, Elon Musk will be living on Mars, and history will be blaming him for destroying what was left of the Democrats, because they will never recover.

I Feel Sorry for Elon Musk: CEOs build culture, and are extremely important

I do feel sorry for Elon Musk. I would say to him, the government is a very negative experience, full of losers.  And that fixing it will take a lot more work than he can give in short spurts.  People who choose to work for the government are quite different from those drawn to the private sector.  Government is filled with entitled losers who want to make a lot of money off taxpayers without the risk of earning it themselves.  Therefore, it will require significant reform, which is just getting started with the Trump administration.  But it will take decades to unwind the mess that has been given to us.  And I can see that Elon Musk began his DOGE campaign with a lot of bright ideas.  But making the cuts permanent that he has identified isn’t as easy as it would be at one of his companies.  The government is full of parasites, and you have to play the long game with them.  Elon Musk can do the world a great deal of good if he focuses on what made him great to begin with.  He needs to be back at SpaceX every day, sending Starships into space every three weeks.  It has been evident that he has been absent from those companies; they have been experiencing a decline.  The job of a CEO is often not well-defined; they create the culture.  It’s not the work they do but the culture they make in their wake.  And SpaceX has slipped significantly since Elon has been frequenting the White House daily since Trump’s return to office.  It will take more than CEO stunts to save the government.  However, some business success on the frontier of innovation is the best way that Elon Musk can make the world a better place and establish a civilization to save by going to Mars. 

I thought it was astonishingly short-sighted for Disney-run ABC to characterize the Starship 9 mission that launched this past week as a series of failed missions.  The process SpaceX uses for data collection involves launching these Starships to see what works and what doesn’t, so that every configuration of the problem can be witnessed and designed, modified in real-time.  Drawing on extensive experience with this very issue in the aerospace industry, the world is fundamentally flawed in its approach to manufacturing processes.  And SpaceX has taken a noticeably different approach, one that is much more akin to the Skunkworks at Lockheed Martin many years ago.  The world has learned the wrong lessons and incorporated them into its management systems, and the entire industry is in desperate need of an overhaul.  And if Elon Musk wants to change and save the world, he can do it most effectively with Tesla and SpaceX.  The big secret is that you can’t put engineers in a room and get everything right the first time, which is the assumption in aerospace that began with NASA and the need to avoid any accidents that would become public relations nightmares.  When you can automate flights, you can afford to have launches to measure cause and effect, and approach the whole process of technology development much more aggressively.  Even though Starship 9, which launched at the end of May 2025, burned up during re-entry, as did the booster rocket, much of what SpaceX needed to achieve was successful, leading to the technical adjustments that need to be made at the engineering level. 

However, the way the industry operates now is very risk-averse, and, of course, the least risky thing to do is to do nothing, which is why things are so slow in aerospace and why cost overruns are so common.  And when ABC says that the previous SpaceX missions were failures, they are speaking from the vantage point of the administrative state —the kind of world that the government has created for us, with over-regulation and a world shaped by insurance industry lobbyists.  From that world, exploding Starships are a bad thing.  For the innovative SpaceX world, they provide a lot of information, and when you look at the rate of innovation that is needed to build Starships, you need to collect a lot of data to get repeatability outside of engineering tolerances, because until you see all those inventions working together, there is no way to know how stable a process is.  When it came to the NASA approach, you get lucky with a design and then never deviate from it, fearing the unknown, and that is essentially how they built the space program.  SpaceX is seeking complete, automated redundancy that remains reliable after thousands of trips.  To achieve that, SpaceX needs to be launching a new Starship every week, which is why Elon Musk has been so crucial.  Since he has been at the White House, doing good work that often goes unappreciated, SpaceX has been addressing engine bay leaks that have compromised spaceflight, and the Starships have been exploding.  Not a great way to have a space program.  However, the best thing about this most recent Starship 9 mission was that much of it had become so commonplace now.  The Starship was able to undergo stage separation and space flight, solving many of the problems it previously had, so now the other lingering issues can be addressed. 

The best engineering is to do things and fix things as you see problems emerge.  And for something as complicated as Starship, it will take Elon Musk to foster a productive culture among the many great people at SpaceX, guiding them toward corrective actions to address the numerous problems that must be solved for stable space flight.  It’s fantastic that we’ve had only 9 Starship missions and that they’ve made getting them into space so routine.  Now, getting re-entry right, with stable space flight, will be the key, and it will take a full-time Elon Musk to pull it off.  However, when it comes to cutting the deficit, given the current state of affairs, the first step in fixing the American economy is to achieve magnificent growth through new market sectors.  The SpaceX Starship is the best way to reach that point.  China, in their wildest imaginations, won’t be able to copy SpaceX, because they don’t have a person like Elon Musk to act as the CEO.  Just like other considerations of the administrative state, people cannot be swapped out.  Great people are irreplaceable; when they take vacations or are absent from work, things don’t run smoothly.  Exceptionalism comes from unique people.  Not process controls that allow losers in life to be just as good as winners.  Exceptionalism matters, and Elon Musk needs to stay on the cutting edge at SpaceX for it to continue its success.  And if he wants to save the world, he can do it best in the private sector.  DOGE will still be a good idea that will do good work.  But it’s going to be a slow boil.  What we need most is Starship, and missions going to space so routinely that people take it for granted, as usual.  And with the recent Starship 9 mission, that is becoming the standard.  Normal is launching the biggest rocket humanity has ever produced into space, routinely.  Now, getting it to do what we need it to do time and time again is the next challenge, which is very close to being completed.

Hansel and Gretel: The danger of the Oedipal Mother complex

We would do better to teach kids about fairy tales so they wouldn’t be so gullible in adult life.  People need to understand that all governments tend to become the famous Oedipal mother and that if we continue to feed it, it will seek, due to its unconscious directives, to become a destroyer of our very existence.  Government has to be managed and cannot be left alone.  Doesn’t everyone remember the story of Hansel and Gretel?  The story of the kids being taken into the woods and left there to die by a trusted caretaker?  Why are people so trusting?  Well, the answer to that one is that they are too lazy to scrutinize because action requires effort, and it is easier for the lazy person to trust everything will work out OK than to do the work of managing it.  When I see all this criticism of DOGE and Elon Musk, I hear people’s desire not to think about just how bad some government figures are.   When we used to tell fairy tales to children they were stories meant to help them see the truths of life, and to make them better people which is certainly the case of the Hansal and Gretal story of a couple of children living with their father, the woodcutter, deep in the woods with a second wife who was jealous of his children from another marriage.  Something that kids these days are undoubtedly worried about, since so many families have divorces in them and marriages to step-parents that are not as satisfying as their biological ones.  But this was a case where the woodcutter’s first wife died, and he married someone else, but they weren’t living so happily ever after.  The new wife wanted to erase the first wife’s memory, starting with the kids. 

So while the woodcutter was working in the woods, the stepmom took the children out into the forest disguised as helping their father, to lure them into her scheme, and left them there.  But the resourceful Hansel had put rocks in his pocket, knowing the stepmother was up to no good, and he left a trail back to his house in case they got lost.  And by following the trail of rocks, they could return to the house to their father.  The angry stepmom did the same thing the next day, and this time Hansel left breadcrumbs.  When the crazy woman left the children alone in the forest, the brother and sister thought they would return the way they had the previous time.  But this time, forest animals ate the bread, so the clever trail was gone.   Now the kids had a big problem.  They searched and searched but could not find their way home.  But they found a gingerbread house, and they were very hungry, so they endeavored to eat from it, which provoked from within its contents the classic Oedipal mother, who invited them inside to care for them with great kindness.  But the kindness wasn’t because she was a good woman; it was meant to hide her great evil desire to eat the children, because she was a psychopath.  Her gentle kindness was a lure to lower the defenses of the children and earn their trust so that she could bring their demise to her profit.  And many kind people like this evil woman who lived in the gingerbread house exist, everywhere.  The kids were hungry and distressed, missing the comfort of their strong father.  But what choice did they have? They were lost.  And when people are in such a condition, there is always someone trying to take advantage of them.

The Oedipal mother complex is a classic case of the overbearing mother who saturates a child with too much love, not because she loves the child, but because she wants to consume them for her own needs.  In this case, the crazy woman was very kind because she wanted to fatten up the children with too much food and coddled them so they wouldn’t want to run away from her.  But her intentions from the start were evil and exploitive.  There are many parents, especially women, who will try to give their kids everything not because they love them, but because they want to use them as a mask for their insecurities, so they hide their malice behind kindly motherhood to cripple the kids so they never want to move away from her and live their own lives like Norman Bates’ mom in Psycho.  Their goal, these evil mothers, is to create failure-to-launch kids, kids who hang around the house and can never leave.  Their intent is not to raise friendly, healthy kids who function well in life.  But to make dependents.  And from there, everyone knows how the story ends.  Thinking the kids are fat enough, the kind woman tries to put Hansel into an oven to cook him.  Gretal sticks up for her brother and pushes the woman into the oven instead.  And they kill the woman and escape with their lives.  Eventually, the father finds the kids, and they live happily ever after.  But not before the father gets rid of his problem, the other woman who has been plotting the demise of his children.  And once he does that, everyone lives happily ever after, but not before death and divorce. 

And that is what DOGE is uncovering with our government, and there isn’t any way not to avoid pushing her into the oven and killing this crippling Oedipal mother.  Our government has been trying to make us into dependents not to help us, but to cripple us.  And it certainly wasn’t for our own good.  To understand these things, we have to be willing to admit that everyone isn’t looking out for our best interests, and that the best thing to do would be to have healthy skepticism as Hansel and Gretel did, about the adults in their lives and to take precautions regarding their motives.  In the world of fairy tales, we have told stories designed to help children recognize deceit in their adult landscape, to teach them how to manage such a crisis when they see it.  But the government, wanting to exploit the world for its designs, wishes to conceal why it intends to make dependents from all its subservients.  Not to help people, but to harm them.  To eat them.  And as we uncover all the waste, fraud, and abuse that DOGE finds, we learn that we should have never trusted any of these people.  And that the over-coddling mother complex of government was not for any reason but to eat us and live off our carcasses.  This is how we should view taxation and the role of government in general.  Just because we have women in our lives as mothers, or wives, and they appear kindly, we can’t trust them.  They very well could be trying to eat us.  And often, at best, they are trying to lure us out into the woods to leave us for dead so they can replace us with a new man, a sturdy character who works all day chopping wood, and the women do not want to share the food earned with the children. So she plots to kill them so she can have the man all to herself.  Given what DOGE is uncovering, we would do well to return to fairy tales for guidance.  Because obviously, a lot of people need them.

It Takes “Big Balls” to Reform Government Efficiency: To have a job, high performance matters

To answer a question that has come up recently from government workers shocked by the DOGE exploits of a 19-year-old young man who is known as “Big Balls,” this debate is already too late to have.  The wasteful practices of the federal government and all the massive amounts of terminations that need to be made to make government much smaller and to push those workers into the growing private sector employment will not be fought in the courts, as many hope.  It will be fought in public relations.  For instance, the poor-performing government workers at USAID will not be able to hide behind polite society and continue to underperform for the American taxpayer without exposure any longer.  I’ve been warning about this day for decades, and here it is.  Everyone was told, and they chose not to listen.  So, don’t be surprised when some wiz kid that Elon Musk hired right out of high school can come in and eliminate many government jobs with the push of a button on a laptop.  Nobody in the world is better at finding overachieving engagement from employees than Elon Musk right now; he has been very successful at finding those types of people at Tesla, SpaceX, and just about everything else he has touched.  And, of course, we see the same practices from people like this: Edward Coristine, the young man who has the world melting down as he calls himself “Big Balls.”  Well, it takes a lot of guts to step into a very corrosive work culture with the power of government behind it and tell them all that they are worthless and that they need to go.  They have been underperforming, and in the case of USAID, the Pentagon, and many other places that DOGE will be analyzing for President Trump, if you want to be great as a nation or at anything, you can’t accept underperformance.  There must be standards that define winning, and employees must meet or exceed those standards.  But coming up short was never going to be acceptable.

I’m not surprised that Musk has hired many bright-eyed young people to perform these analysis jobs, such as in the case of Edward Coristine.  I know many young people like this “Big Balls” kid.  They remind me of the old hot rod culture we used to have in America, where kids coming of age to drive could get their hands on an old car and hot rod it up so they could race on the weekends.  That kind of car culture has been taken away from kids so they have turned to computer coding.  Getting computers to do things better and faster than stock options right out of the store is what many kids like Big Balls spend all their time thinking about.  Elon Musk has given those kinds of kids homes in his companies.  They can take their passion and put it to good use right out of high school.  So, they end up with a pure view of the world that makes things easy to see.  Edward Coristine has an advantage as a young person who has not yet learned to fail.  Many people who have failed a lot in life seek a government job to hide those failures even from themselves, and they hope all their lives that nobody notices.  So, government employment has become a joke over time, and nobody feels confident in criticizing it because the power of the government might crush them for doing so.  I’ve been through all that myself, where I have been very critical of the government and have seen its wrath firsthand.  Not that it did them any good.  But I can see why Musk has people like Big Balls on his team.  It takes a person who has not lived long enough to accept failure sometimes and the ambition to change the world without learning to hold back so as not to hurt other people’s feelings to walk into a roomful of government employees and tell them they are all worthless and could be removed immediately and all their jobs could be done in the corner of the room with one guy and a second-hand laptop.  It takes Big Balls to be that honest.

I have received a lot of hate mail these last few weeks, much more than usual, which is usually quite a lot.  But the hate comes in the form of an almost mirror mirror on the wall complex where they are trying to convince themselves of their point more than me.  They think government jobs are protected and the courts will protect them from the realities of performance measures, a standard labor union fantasy.  Through mass collectivism, they can be insulated from the rigors of reality.  But of course, I say to them, generally politely, that these fights won’t be conducted in the corrupt courts, but in the realm of public opinion.  The next time we get to a government shutdown, for instance, and Congress has to vote for more appropriations, how are they going to do that when it is a PR nightmare now that people know how useless a lot of these government workers are?  They aren’t worth the money wasted on them, and the fear of continued services lost because those employees aren’t there will be removed. 

The low-engagement people will lose whenever you have a high-engagement culture fighting against a low-engagement culture.  You can’t fight against people who work 7 days a week, 24 hours a day because they love their job with people who barely work 8 hours per day, 5 days a week, even if they still report to the office, which many of them have been working from home.  Those low-engagement people will get slaughtered in the process, which DOGE brings to the table.  Not just in the one young man, Big Balls, but in many like him.  And behind him is a vast army of like-minded people who don’t want some stuffy adult government worker culture holding back their future from them.  They have more than a few reasons to be angry about how they approach their job of performance revolution.  If people are going to be in a government job, we always expect performance.  Not to hide behind some social constructs like a worthless college degree in basket weaving so that they could get into one of these government union jobs and sit on their butts for the next thirty years until they retire with a ridiculous benefits package for essentially doing nothing that whole time.  Those days are over and have been for many years.  But it’s catching up now because it took people like Big Balls to expose how useless those government workers were.  They need to be removed from that comfortable, expensive position and put into the private sector, where they must compete for a job every day.  And if they fail there, it is because in competition, they didn’t make the team.  If you want a great country and economy, you have to make it so that the people doing the work are the best.  And those who don’t work so hard are not just sitting around milking the system from the taxpayers who worked so hard to provide the funds.  Regarding Big Balls and the kind of people Elon Musk typically surrounds himself with, they are not losers who have learned from society to lose.  They are rebelling against that premise, which I think is fantastic.  This is why I have been a fan of Musk for a long time.  And I love what he is doing with DOGE.  We don’t want losers doing these government jobs; we want winners.  And the best way to do that is to put people in place to analyze these jobs who have not yet learned to lose.  Big Balls has yet to learn how to lose, much to his credit.  And we need in the world a lot more people like him.

The Tariff’s on Mexico, Canada, and China: Stopping the looting of Marxist countries and their unearned merit

Let’s do some basic math to understand the genius of Trump’s economic proposals of using tariffs to replace internal taxation, and to put the wealth that America generates back to the people who make it, not the leeching socialists, communists, and Marxists who have been living off America for over a century with unearned merit.  President Trump is talking about getting rid of the ridiculous Jekyll Island progressive income tax system that was devised in 1913, which generates around 2.4 trillion dollars a year.  The new proposed tariffs for Mexico and Canada are around 25% to deal with a trade deficit of around 200 billion dollars for each country.  DOGE is discussing cutting around one trillion dollars from the budget, which I think is a very conservative start.  There is much more to get, but it’s a good beginning.   And with China, Trump is imposing a 10% tariff on top of an already maintained limit of roughly 10.1%.  So there is a long way to go to get all these countries up and over 20%.  And we haven’t even started talking about Europe, specifically the EU, and the lack of support they all have poured into NATO, which we have almost funded at 100%.  Socialist economists, just about everyone coming out of the university system, can’t get their minds around this.  But essentially, enough money would be generated to take America back to wealth levels before the creation of the Fed and the Internal Revenue Service.  Enough money will be generated to create an External Revenue Service, allowing us to eliminate the federal income tax and replace it with better revenue generators. 

The problem with Jekyll Island was that it was created by very wealthy people who were globalists in their assumption about where the world was headed, and it essentially planned to use the United States to fund a one-world government off the backs of Americans.  And even if America were left a carcass in the end, it would be, from the socialist point of view, for the greater good.  And that’s where we find ourselves today.  Only, they never planned for Americans to ever put someone like President Trump in office with a promised platform to undo it all.   I think the Jekyll Island participants were trying to do what they thought was right when they came up with the Federal Reserve and the Progressive Income Tax system.  But most murderers could also justify their crimes in the same way.  It sounded like a good idea then, but upon reflection, over a century later, it was a disaster.  And we’re tired of it.  What Trump is talking about doing is brilliant and well-needed.  It will be earth-shattering for the world.  It will cause some short-term disruptions in the supply chain and profit margins.  It will drive up prices a bit, but that’s OK.  There are a lot of costs that will snap into shape quickly, and people will be pleased with the result.  We have needed as a nation to cut ties with all these socialist and communist countries who, by design, were set up to loot and pillage American capitalism to choke it off and destroy it and call it good, friendly international relations. 

Watching Justin Trudeau speaking from Canada about the pending tariffs was quite a spectacle.  That Canadians would cry over tariffs from America, which would undoubtedly be painful for them, indicates how out of touch they have always been.  They have existed off the good work that America has produced, which has allowed them to spread Marxism to every corner of the planet while not paying the price for too much-centralized government.  In many ways, Mexico has enjoyed the same liberties, which is why the country is run essentially by drug cartels.  Their trade imbalance with the United States has allowed them to make bad economic decisions because if they stumbled and fell, it was the United States that always picked them back up.  It is through the theft and looting that China has gained superpower status from emerging as essentially a third-world backwater armpit of a country, as it was during World War II and would have easily been conquered by Japan if America had not intervened.  The same people who put together the plan for Jekyll Island are the same type of investors who propped up China to become a world power of dominant communism and the global, centralized government model.  And these efforts are over a century old, but they didn’t just start there.  They emerged with the Marxist movement as soon as transportation allowed for easy travel and communication from country to country.  Globalism planned to loot off the success of America, steal American wealth, and redistribute it through centralized government to every corner of the world.  That is the hard fact of centralized banking and their intentions at Jekyll Island.  It was an early form of predatory lending to destroy the host for some lofty investment in social construct.  China didn’t earn its wealth; it was created by the very same global investors who purposely tried to destroy America without firing a single shot in a military campaign.  And President Trump is doing as he promised he would upon re-election; he’s stopping the carnage. 

America’s best years were around 1870 to 1913.  After that Jekyll Island mess, everything started going downhill from there.  And it is back to those policies that President Trump is proposing to return.  This is the period of western expansion, gold coming out of the west, railroads, and great optimism.  It’s why progressives want us to think of that period as an imposition on the American Indian.  At that time, boatloads of Marxists were stepping off ships in New York from Europe and trying to convince everyone what a brilliant idea Karl Marx had.  Because Americans were personally wealthy, compared to other places in the world, they could afford to listen, and the poison was injected into our political system, which has stayed there for more than a century now.  However, President Trump is finally starting to remove that poisoning from our political and economic systems.  And it will happen quickly because the value of what is made in the world primarily comes from America—and consumed.  So goes America, so goes the world.  It might take a minute to untangle the mess given to us.  However, Trump’s tariffs are the first step toward a much more excellent economic recovery package.  Not one that looks at the 80s and wants to replicate Ronald Reagan.  However, one that steps back to the 1870s, the period of Reconstruction, where more people of all places and colors could elevate their lives through personal wealth than had occurred at any point in history.  The economy Trump is proposing to build and do it quickly will be the greatest that history has ever seen anywhere in the world at any time.  But best of all, these countries getting tariffs to cover trade imbalances are all losers who have adopted Karl Marx’s thoughts about economic development.  America is turning away from that garbage, and it will force those other countries to do the same, or they won’t be able to compete.  They have avoided that fate up until now because America funded their communist fantasies.  But with Trump’s moves, that isn’t happening anymore.  And that is great news ahead of an exciting future.
