BORDER CLOSED!

One thing that genuinely frustrated me was this AMERICA ONLY crowd acting like they were the true America First movement. Let's get something straight. President Trump has consistently pursued an America First agenda. But America First does NOT mean America Alone or Only. And there's a massive difference. Do people actually understand the value of America's international interests? In 2025 alone: • $7.77 TRILLION in international goods and services trade. • $7.14 TRILLION in American direct investments abroad. • $660 BILLION in income earned by American companies on overseas investments. • The US dollar still accounts for approximately 57% of global official foreign currency reserves. And that's before we even begin discussing military alliances, strategic bases, shipping lanes, energy security, access to critical minerals, intelligence partnerships, technology supply chains and diplomatic leverage. These are not insignificant interests. These are trillions of dollars in economic exposure and decades of accumulated geopolitical influence. You cannot dismantle international commitments, alliances and strategic relationships overnight, within two years, and expect America to retain all the benefits while abandoning the responsibilities that help sustain them. There are strategic ways to renegotiate, withdraw, restructure and transfer responsibilities. That's what leadership looks like. A substantial part of America's economic prosperity and global influence is connected to its international relationships. And this is what I believe many people failed to understand. President Trump was pursuing multiple fronts simultaneously. - Border security. - Domestic energy production. - Rebalancing international trade. - Strengthening Western Hemisphere security. - Protecting America's strategic energy interests. - Preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons so America isn't continually dragged into another endless Middle Eastern war. And, perhaps most importantly, challenging an outdated imperial system that has kept major powers and their proxies locked in cycles of confrontation, proxy wars and strategic competition. These things are interconnected. You cannot look at domestic policy in isolation from foreign policy. That's precisely why I wrote my ebook, FOREIGN POLICY IS SURVIVAL. Unfortunately, only a small number of people bought it. I genuinely believe the problem was that the broader messaging never quite connected all these moving pieces for the average American voter. And while Republicans were busy communicating individual policy victories, Democrats stepped in with a simpler, more emotionally compelling storyline. They understood something important: voters don't necessarily reward you for the complexity of what you're doing. They reward you when they understand how it improves their lives. I believe that was a major messaging failure. America First is about putting American interests first in EVERY negotiation, EVERY alliance, EVERY trade agreement and EVERY international engagement. It is not about pretending the rest of the world doesn't exist. AMERICA FIRST. NOT AMERICA ALONE/ONLY There's a difference. And it's time more people understood it.

They are going to dissolve the republic. This isn't some far-out hypothetical, this is an actual plan that's already in motion. They've drawn up plans and had meetings about it. It's very very real and it's already happening. And all the while they'll dissolve our institutions while claiming to be on the side of the constitution and the rule of law.
