I have gone on the record, on this site, that I did not want Trump to run in 2024. Though I supported him in 2016, I still think his Pre-COVID term will be considered one of the most successful administrations in history. But, and that is with a capital “B,” I felt a third Trump run would be too divisive for the country. I felt comfortable with the many qualified Republicans who want to run that we would elect a strong Republican President in 2024. I have changed my mind. I think this country needs Donald Trump. We need him to come in and correct all of the mistakes made by Joe Biden, get this ship righted, and set the table for DeSantis in 2028. I am buying my ticket on the Trump Train!

Let’s look at what needs to be done, and after you review the list, I think you might be sitting next to me in the Club Car.

1. The Economy Joe Biden blew this economy up with Trillions of dollars that we do not have. His foolish policies have resulted in inflation that may still be double-digit if you don’t filter out essential commodities like home energy, automobiles, air travel, and gasoline. Our growth is anemic, and we are finding more ways to guarantee people a guaranteed income that we have killed the need to work. The Fed has raised interest rates to a level forcing the bank failures we have seen already, with more to come. Those interest rates are halting the real estate market and making credit unaffordable for many. Biden still claims the economy is the strongest ever, but 68% of Americans disagree.
2. Bank Failures and Bailouts. We have already touched on the failures, but the recovery or relief by the Biden Team is a failure. Biden says all deposits will be covered, which would cost $6 Trillion. Yellen contradicts her boss and says the Government will decide which banks deserve to be made whole. Who wants this White House to pick the winners and losers? See East Palestine.
3. The Military Nobody wants to see a war with Russia or China. Still, the only way we can avoid their aggression is by having the greatest military in the world ready to put down anyone who threatens us. Our military wants $114 Million to school our military in DEIJ while we have a 15,000 deficit in recruitment in 2022. Our military equipment is breaking down. We are retiring battleships only six years old because we cannot afford the maintenance. We allowed a Chinese balloon to traverse our country and Russia to sink a $34 Million drone and force our jets out of International Airspace. We are a weak military under Biden, and our enemies sense it.
4. Energy Plan Trump left us energy independent and a major supplier of LNG to Europe. Biden flipped that on Day 1. We are back at the mercy of OPEC and are even looking at Iran and Venezuela as possible suppliers. We are concerned about gasoline-driven cars while China is building coal plants. The world is not on board with our green energy plan.
5. The Former Border We cannot call it the Southern Border, as the Border no longer exists. Trump’s wall materials, which are already paid for, are waiting for him to restart construction, shut the Border and reinstate some sanity to our Mexican Border.
6. Ukraine Trump will stop the flow of Billions to Kiiv and get Russia to the table. NATO needs a strong Trump back in Washington.

Give Trump four years without a Pandemic and phony impeachment trials, and he can get America back. Biden made me do it. I have my MAGA hat out, and it looks beautiful.
