Who Should Trump Pick as His VP: It’s all about continuing the MAGA movement beyond 2028

Now that we know Trump will return to the presidency in 2024, people are wondering who his VP should be.  Yes, don’t take anything for granted.  We still have to win the election in such an epic landslide that the political left will be knocked off the face of the planet in the aftermath.  Don’t take your eye off the ball.  But as things stand, after the Iowa Caucuses and the blowout Trump won there, it’s evident that people want Trump back in the White House to finish what was started, then robbed from us.  Even China realizes what’s happening, and they won’t be able to cheat so easily this time.  They will try, but it won’t be as easy as it was in 2020, that is for sure.  Remember, Trump, did not lose that election in 2020, in which polling in Iowa asked voters what they thought about Biden and 2/3 of them believed that Biden was put in the White House for election fraud.  He was inserted as president, not elected.  I have verified this political sentiment over these last three years, and it’s true.  There was no mathematical way that Joe Biden could have had 81 million votes.  Even Fox News, reluctantly, now that they know there is no Nikki Haley or Ron DeSantis in 2024, is jumping on the Trump Train for their own relevancy, even though they now have to discuss all the forms of election fraud that did take place, particularly with the ballot stuffers directly connected to the loose Covid rules.  So without that same kind of chaotic mess as we saw in 2020 and a push for as little voter fraud as possible, there simply is no way Biden can generate enough votes to beat Trump.  To answer Kamala Harris when asked about Trump’s Iowa results, “no dummy, you did not beat President Trump the first time; you cheated.”  And 2024 is going to expose that racket, especially.

So, of course, the next logical question is who the VP will be. And instantly, Kari Lake’s name comes up because she is like Trump in many ways. It would be my advice, and yes, quite a few people who read from me carefully and do care about and influence these kinds of things, that we keep Kari Lake as the hot hand in the Senate. Once Trump is in the White House, he needs a counter punch in the Senate to Mitch McConnell, someone who will give that old establishment a Trump-type person in those hallowed halls. Bernie Moreno is one of those future Senators who will dramatically improve the landscape. But Kari Lake needs to win the Arizona seat and use it to change how the Senate works. She would be best used not to play a second fiddle to Trump, who will soak up all the attention. With Trump, we only get to have him for four years, so we also need to set the stage for the next few decades. That means whoever is positioned for VP this time is simply placing the stage for a presidential run in 2028. Which at this point is not very far away. That VP pick will carry the Trump MAGA platform to the next level. Trump will retire, but the political movement must continue, and that is where things can get tricky. I think Kari Lake is there for the fight, but for how long? How long does she want to do this kind of thing? It’s one thing to fight for the injustice done to Trump. But we’re talking about the rigors of day-to-day management here, so whoever the VP is needs to be ready for at least eight years in office and to normalize the Trump agenda into a change state United States policy.

My first pick would be Kristi Noem for a lot of reasons. She has run a good state in South Dakota and is loyal, but she also knows how to take the lead. She has been very helpful to Trump and could certainly run for president on her own as a continuation of the MAGA movement. She is the kind of person who could keep the machine running once started with the second Trump term. Not that it matters so much, but it would be great for the Republicans to be the party that put a woman first in the White House and to take that away from the Democrats for history to remember. Just as it was Republicans who freed the enslaved people during the Civil War, I don’t care about identity politics in the least. But I always did think that Elizabeth Dole should have run for president in the past, along with a few others who were great in public and could give Republicans a woman in the White House. Kristi Noem would be excellent as she represents the rough-and-tumble cowboy image that America currently needs. After what she did a few years ago when riding that horse through Deadwood and onto the stage holding an American flag, Kristi Noem would be an excellent support to the Big City Trump and make a fantastic VP. A perfect “one-two punch.” And something that wouldn’t end after Trump’s second term.

The other pick and I think that Trump is already leaning in that direction, is Vivek Ramaswamy. I happen to know Vivek a bit. I’ve met him several times, and we know many of the same people, so I was not concerned about the “anti-Vivek” talk before the Iowa Caucuses. I had a pretty good idea about Vivek and what he was trying to do before he finally dropped out of the race after the election results from Iowa came in. Vivek wants to do good things, and he’s young and can speak very well. During this campaign, he would be a perfect VP attack dog, setting him up nicely for 2028. A guy his age who is, like Trump, independently wealthy is how you lay the foundations for a continuation of the MAGA political platform. I know how Vivek became wealthy; he had learned a lot in his young life, and I was present with him when he made a political transition. So, I can say that I trust Vivek in ways other people might not understand yet. You know, you get into some of these situations as Vivek did when he was a biotech firm CEO and worked closely with Wall Street and your perspective changes as you win the game and see what’s really going on. Elon Musk is going through a similar process right now, where you gain the kind of money that gives you freedom enough to see things clearly, and Vivek is one of those guys. I’ve personally talked to him about it, so I know where he’s at. And he would be a fantastic VP. And a great president, another person who could take from Trump what was created and carry it far into the future to not only Make America Great Again but to keep it that way, even grow it over the coming decades. But to do that, we have to have the right person, and if I had to pick, it would be one of these two people, Kristi Noem or Vivek Ramaswamy. But no matter what happens, Vivek has to be part of the economic recovery. He has some of the best ideas regarding that vital category of anyone on earth. And the real fight we are facing, which is the needed destruction of BlackRock and its grotesque global influence, Vivek is the guy who must be part of the oncoming Trump White House.

It’s Up to You Iowa: A chance to make Donald Trump president and why you should

Iowa, this is your time on the stage.  Really, the next election for President of the United States begins and ends with you.  If you were to take a moment from preparing for the spring planting period, from life on your farms and industry to vote in the Republican primary on February 1st, you could put this thing to bed right now.  This particular site that you are reading gets particularly busy during election periods because most people don’t have time to pay attention to critical issues regarding politics.  Prior to elections they usually do an internet search, and they run across my articles.  They read them as opposed to other publications because I usually provide 1500 word articles that cover the details of an issue deep diving into the psychology and politics behind whatever is on the ballot.  People have lost faith in the mainstream news, and their local newspapers, but they do tend to trust me and it shows up in voting results usually with a small swing in percentage to the passage or failure of an issue.  In close elections—sometimes that’s all it takes.  At this point, I’m not sure that Iowa will be close for Republicans but just in case, you should take the opportunity to go out and vote and you should cast your support behind Donald Trump.  If you watch the following videos about Trump, you can see easily that he is already more presidential than anybody we’ve had the opportunity to vote for in several decades.  And he is the best option for 2016 on either side.  But, it takes feet on the ground to actually vote and you should after you’ve watched the following videos completely.  Then, pass them along to a friend to make sure they vote for Trump as well.

Trump is a successful person and as just a candidate he has shown that he can hold massive rallies.  It is easy to see what kind of president he would be—all encompassing and hard-working taking up the charge personally to jump-start our economy in America once again.  The best way to do that is to make the American brand something of value again just as Trump has made his family name nearly household recognizable before he ever ran for president.  If Trump can repair the American brand across the world, instantly, many of the things he is declaring that he’ll fix will resolve themselves.  Part of the concept of building a wall between Mexico and America is to make entry into the United States more valuable.  Any time there is market saturation of something its value goes down.  Open border advocates do not like the American concept so they count on lowering the value of the United States so that Mexico can diffuse Constitutional limits through elections and changing demographics.  Trump has the experience to ensure that limited access is the best way to command respect of a nice penthouse apartment in one of his buildings in New York.  Nobody respects something they get cheaply, or even worse for free.  Trump is the most poised of anybody to restore value to what being an American truly should have always been.

There are other good candidates running in the GOP primary.  But they just don’t have that next level of ability that Trump has.  Not only can Trump identify a problem, but he knows how to talk to people, even those who don’t like him.  I think he alone would make the House and Senate work properly with his sheer charisma.  I do not think I will always agree with him, but I think he will be very close to what all conservatives have always wanted because as a private sector guy, who owes nothing to any lobbyist, he can actually afford to resist the temptations to enrich himself with K-Street deals where every other candidate must acquiesce to some extent making them much less effective on a day-to-day basis.

The great power struggle in the beltway–what they really fear about Trump, is in losing power to a person elected by a majority of the voters for really the first time in over a century.  K-Street truly rules the beltway of Washington.  It’s not the House and Senate—it is the lobbyists who run our government and nobody has an opportunity to end that rule better than Donald Trump.  For the sake of our country this process of lobbyists controlling our politics in a constitutional republic has to stop.  If we don’t end it during this next election cycle, we will lose our country.  There is only one way out of our impending fiscal crises—which $19 trillion on the United States debt clock is looming over all our futures—and that is tremendous GDP growth that can only come from a dynamic personality like Trump.

Just prior to the Iowa vote the conservative publication National Review committed an entire edition to hit pieces against Trump from people like Glenn Beck Dana, Loesch, Bill Kristol , and other so-called conservatives.  Let me tell you something dear Iowa voter—nobody on that list is more conservative than I am.  Not a single person writing for the Nation Review beats me on conservative values.  I like a lot of those people the way I might like a typical liberal.  I might talk to them about a football game, or a popular movie, but they don’t want to talk politics with me.  They are not more conservative than I am.  I am extremely pro Second Amendment, anti-abortion, anti-entitlement, pro-American exceptionalism, anti-drug, and I’m against men crying…………..Bill O’Reilly to me is a bleeding heart hippie liberal.  My wife is a happy housewife who brings my dinner to my chair every night and we are happy in that traditional role.  I’m so conservative that I don’t even show up on a graph measuring conservativism—because I’m to the right of even that.  And I’m too smart to be considered a right-winged loon so that description doesn’t fit either.  These people, many of whom came into the national stage through Glenn Beck and are simply backing his vision of a constitutional republic that falls in behind a George Washington presidency—and that’s just not realistic or relevant in 2016.  Beck thinks he’s doing the work of God, but in reality he’s a former drug addict who is trying to rectify his past with a born again Christian optimism that does not have the ability to combat the problems on K-Street.  You can’t throw Bibles at the crooks and loons in Washington—you have to beat them at their own game.  The National Review is the proof of why conservatives have been losing for years—because they fail to identify the proper targets to attack and when they do they cannot come up with a strategy to deal with it.  Like Beck, they look for guidance through prayer instead of with their own eyes paralyzing them to act properly against evil.  While religious values are fine, the reality must be confronted that fewer people than ever can identify with religion and the 2016 election has to be about fiscal issues, not religious ones.  One thing certainly comes before other things and their priorities are strategically off at the National Review.

Being a conservative I’m also quite accustomed to being around people who make things in business and I understand why they donate money to politicians.  Because of the socialist polices embedded in the United States business people have to pay politicians off otherwise they won’t get their zoning approved, government regulators show up to shut down their businesses, and even worse the IRS shows up to destroy a company through the audit process—so job providers have to pay the troll or face serious ramifications.  I see in Trump a person so sick of that process that he has an opportunity to destroy it from within.  Aside from inflating his brand I think this is the other big reason that Trump is running for president—to take away the crony shackles that he had to navigate around in New York politics—and replace it with a more free market option.  Trump had to support democrats in New York, particularly the various mayors he’s had to deal with over the years otherwise his real estate investments would die awaiting approvals that those politicians had the power to control.  For the first time in his life, Trump is truly free—he has enough money that he doesn’t have to depend on anybody for his sustenance, which has allowed him to publicly discuss his politics.  Most people during their money-making years—30s through their 50s–avoid public declarations of their political leanings because it gets in the way of dealing with other people.  Older people can afford to make people angry with their opinions, so it is usually they who are the most vocal.  Trump is now one of those older guys who has all the money he will ever need, so he can afford to let his tongue fly which is why a lot of his opinions are now clearer on things than they used to be.  Why would Trump give money to Hillary Clinton—because she was a senator from New York and she could help him get things passed?  If he needed a New York mayor to get out of his way, he could call up Hillary and apply some pressure.  That’s the way it works.  It should say a lot about Trump that he’s been willing to attack the Clintons to get this far in the race.  It’s just business for Trump and he has shown that he’ll put American business in front of everything.

So it’s up to you Iowa.  You have the facts, you’ve seen the videos.  You know what you have to do.  Go out there and vote for Trump.  Put an end to this election from the very first vote.  Be the first and last state to decide who will be President of the United States in 2016.  If Iowa goes for Trump the rest of the states will follow and that will be it.  All you have to do is show up and cast your ballot for a real opportunity—the one last hope of saving America from a fiscal crises and a detrimental political system that is imploding as we speak.  Trump has accomplished more than any of the individuals writing for the National Review.  Trump is a conservative because of the way he runs his businesses and manages his family.  His actions tell the truth about who he is.  The interpretation of his actions are often read by people who aren’t smart enough or conservative enough to see what he is up to behind the curtain.  But it’s not hard for me to see.  And hopefully, Iowa, you are smart enough to see it to.  History is in your hands—so make the right decision.
