The desperately want to stop him. They want him in prison or worse. They call his supporters MAGA-Extremists. But it just doesn’t matter. In fact it makes President Trump stronger than ever. Iowa is proof.
Lowest temperatures in state caucus history. Snowstorms to boot. It didn’t matter. President Trump trounced all challengers with the biggest win in the Hawkeye state history, 51%, 98 of 99 counties.
Why? Easy. Two reasons.
The first is what Ronald Reagan taught us in 1979 in his race against the then, at the time, worst president. The Gipper asked one simple question: Are you better off than you were 4 years ago? It worked then, and it’s working now.
Just remove politics from the equation for a moment. Pick any aspect of government and ask Reagan’s question.
How’s the economy? Miss $1.98 gas prices? Shocked by 7% mortgage rates? What about crime? Fed up with hardened recidivist criminals walking free thanks to Democrat prosecutors and “Defend the Police” mayors? What about immigration? Had it with drone footage of hordes of illegals crossing the border daily, especially if you immigrated legally? Or what about the state of the world? After 4 years of peace under the 45th President, are you shocked by Biden’s surrender in Afghanistan, war in Ukraine, war in Israel, and the Iranians attacking US ships?
Right now, the 2016-2020 years look mighty good.
Then there’s the more important reason: Saving America.
The return of President Trump is being labeled by the “elite” as a fall into fascism, a dictatorship just over the horizon. Which is strange given that he already was President and didn’t do any of these things:
- He didn’t call half of America “extremists” simply because they love America
- He didn’t use the FBI to raid his predecessor’s private residence
- He didn’t arrest, leg-shackle, and strip search a former presidential aid to his predecessor
- His federal agencies didn’t illegally surveil innocent Americans more than 200,000 times
- He didn’t sentence January 6 “insurrectionists” to more than 20 years in prison despite them not even being in Washington DC on that fateful day
- He isn’t trying to illegally remove his political challenger’s name from election ballots
- And he didn’t array a number of charges against the current Leader of the Opposition that totals more than 730 years in prison.
Biden and the Democrats did all of the above and much more. And now they are openly discussing using the military to counter the will of the American people should they choose to put President Trump back in the White House. That is why Iowa. That is why the nomination is President Trump’s after one caucus, and has been his ever since he announced it from Mar a Lago over a year ago.
We’ve heard the cliché too many times to count: “This election is the most important in your lifetime!” This time it’s true.
If the millions of illegals are amnestied by the Democrats, turned overnight into indentured voters, if the FBI, DoJ, Jack Smith, Fani Willis, Judge Engoron, and Judge Chutkan can get away with using the awesome power of the state for transparent political purposes, if ballots can be cancelled unilaterally by Democrat-nominated judges or unelected secretaries of state, then we will have arrived at America as police-state. That is why even Iowa – which chose Ted Cruz in 2016 – wants Trump back. They want to be prosperous again. They want their families to be safe. And they don’t want to lose America.
That’s what happened last night. And these are the stakes.

Excellent article Dr. Gorka and right on point. The reason the Democrats keep yelling fascism and about dictatorial policies is because THEY are simply projecting what a second term of Biden or any other Democrat would be like. Not that this administration hasn’t already started to crank up on their authoritarian desires so far. Everything you listed is merely a prelude of the full-bore style of socialism they intend to unleash in a second term.
A friend said something I thought was rather insightful.
Trump began a movement – MAGA – which will live long after him if we ever get it restarted. It doesn’t need Trump after 2025 to 2029. It can go on forever. Because it is an idea – one worth continuing – and any good conservative can lead it forward.
All a President has to do is turn his back on Communism, one worldism, and keep America and the free world safe and Make America and Americans take first place remembering we are the best.
Trump began the movement. We must keep it going long after he is not in charge.
Excellent article telling the TRUTH.
Hey, left, next time you think our rights aren’t being violated go on You Tube and post something about negative Hunters laptop or Facebook post about how COVID cae from a lab leak or how vaccines don’t stop the spread of the disease. Dare ya!
it has been trumps party for 9 years the RNC, Romney, Cheney, and Ryan were just too stupid to figure it out.
We are are Extreme Maga!
We want America Great Again!!! Biden HATES america, because thats what he is selling
Everything is right this country is in big trouble and people like Biden and his people need to be taken out of office we need President Trump back to get this country on a good path to what it used to be not like it is now, our country is becoming a third world country under Biden and his people. They are so corrupt the say the Trump family is bad look at the president and his son and the rest of the family time to get our country back to where it used to be.
Rename
MAGA REPUBLICAN PARTY
I’m not as concerned about the written mistakes, as I don’t know who edited it. BUT these mistakes are far less harmful to our country than the all the mistakes made by this administration and the left!
Everything he said, and wrote are true, and I am hoping that if the Lord God puts our beloved President Trump back in office that there will be a place for Dr. Gorka as well. Thank you for all you do, Dr. Gorka, your radio programs and TV programs are great!!!
You are so wrong with the title. It is not “Trump’s Party” it is the people’s party. DJT just happens to be the leader at this moment. If this nation is to survive, as we know and love it, populism must expand and last long after Trump
Trump is the best thing that ever happened to this country . I pray for him & his family daily . To think of all the patriots who have died for this countries freedom & have a bunch of liars & communist take it over . If they can come after PRESIDENT TRUMP & do to him what they are doing & all the January 6th people then were next . Just like the Nazi’s did , persecute Jewish people , take over the news & spew propaganda , arrest anyone that doen’t agree with them ..Ban books & religion , indoctrinate the children … It’s all happening … History is repeating itself .
Donald Trump is an amazing patriot that truly loves this country. Something the radical left knows little to nothing about. The left is now calling evangelical Christians radicals and national extremists. I have one thing to say to the radical left: Watch what God will do. This country (and world) belongs to Him, not the radical globalists. Only God can save this nation now. Just watch how He does it.
As President Trump said, it is not conservatism, but “COMMON SENSE” That has been lost by our government but a lot of our locals also. Can we get it back?????
2020 wasn’t such a good year.
Maybe the question should be edited to ask: ‘Are you better off now than you were five years ago ?’ My IRA is certainly better than it was in 2019 but everything else, not so much.
The “elite “ are a small number of people. The “muscular “ are the work a day AMERICANS that keep this country running every day!! There are more of us than there of them!! The elites fear us because they can’t control us!! I would NEVER tell anyone who to vote for BUT we are not as dumb as they think we are!! Look around at what has been done!! YOU KNOW WHO TO VOTE FOR!!!!
As a Conservative…we have stayed quiet too long…time to make some noise and stand up for Our Country that is falling to pieces right in front of our eyes. We need the Man of Truth back in the White House but the Democrats know he has a lot of bad on them. They want to shut him up anyway they can even if it is down right evil. We need to stand for the rights of everyone. We need our Old America back…and we need it back fast.. I stand with President Trump through the good and bad. Not one of us are Angels, but he loves this Country, to and through his bones. Stand for the Truth and let God’s hand be in everything he does. God Bless.
MAGA/TRUMP
P.S I would put a flag here but for some reason this platform interprets them as question marks.
Why is that AMAC?
Yes, I am.
It has to be Trump, so our citizens can afford food for their pets. Of course, I want to see “American great again” before I die. President Trump you can do it!
Not too old to rock and roll. One more comeback term for MAGA and then hopefully keep the ball rolling with the next generations.
Donald Trump has my support and vote!!
Illegals are eating up all resources. Hard working Americans are using their taxes to pay for their welfare. This older generation after WW2 (baby boomers) are going to hospitals and now have to wait for hours to get attention because undocumented are eating up all medical resources. Case in point, my wife had an emergency and she had to ride an ambulance to the hospital and was placed in a bed in the lobby because they were short of staff and had no rooms. Is this a way to treat the American citizen elderly? This influx should have been prepared for a long time ago.
It’s not “Defend the Police” mayors, it’s “Defund the Police” mayors. Try proofreading your copy. You’re not alone in this. We expect a little more from people calling themselves professionals.
Treason is still treason and thats what the left, the deep state and all these players are guilty of! I hope one day they face the music!
Defund the Police mayors
Message received, and all worthy, truthful information, but if a professionally written piece is not what you’re aiming for, then mission accomplished.
Don’t you mean “Defund the police mayors”?
I love Gorka but can someone PLEASE proofread his work before publishing? This time there was an error on word 1.
Trump only dates attractive females. Trans need not apply either.
The next AMC series: The Walking Dead: the Biden Years.
Good article. But would have been better if quote of Reagan was accurate and correcting words like worse that should have been worst.
I know I am being picky, but a Ph.D. should know to reread his work before publishing.
Need human to SPELL CHECK article posted in pm 1/19/’24 re Trump.
I won’t debate anything that was said in the article other than to point out that he is NOT President Trump. He currently is former President Trump. Interestingly, the writer of the article is “A former Strategist to…” Yet the writer and many others keep calling him President Trump.
I am an independent that can hardly bear to watch the news and hear about a senile criminal president vs. a morally bankrupt president as our only choices. I was so disappointed that Sen. Scott has now endorsed Trump instead of Haley, that I have had to cross off, whom I thought would be a great candidate in up coming elections, from my list of people that run for president. Where are the Statesmen in our Country, where are those who will do their job in office?
