AMAC Exclusive – By Seamus Brennan

Trump

For the first time since he left office 18 months ago, former President Donald Trump traveled to Washington, D.C. on Tuesday, delivering the keynote address at a summit hosted by the America First Policy Institute (AFPI). In his remarks, he railed against Democrats’ failures on crime, and promoted a detailed policy agenda to restore public safety.

“There is no higher priority than cleaning up our streets, controlling our border, stopping the drugs from pouring in, and quickly restoring law and order in America,” the former president said. “Under Democrat rule, in Democrat-run cities, Democrat-run states, and a Democrat-run federal government, the criminals have been given free reign more than ever before.”

“Our country is now a cesspool of crime,” he added. “We have blood, death, and suffering on a scale once unthinkable because of the Democrat Party’s effort to destroy and dismantle law enforcement all throughout America. It has to stop, and has to stop now.”

Trump offered eight concrete ways a Republican Congress and the next Republican president – which may very well be Trump himself – could “defeat violent crime in America.” Among them were calls to strengthen qualified immunity for law enforcement officials, rehire police officers who resigned as a result of hostile Democrat policies, and waging a “no-holds-barred campaign” to clamp down on gangs and thwart organized street crime.

“If radical politicians at the state and local level refuse to protect public safety and instead turn criminals on the loose to prey upon the innocent, then the federal government will have no choice but to step in,” Trump said. “Under these circumstances, the federal government has the right to do what they want to do…it’s a duty for us to use every tool, every authority, and constitutional power at our disposal to defend the citizens of our country.”

The former president also reprised his previously stated call to execute convicted drug traffickers. “If you look at countries throughout the world, the ones that don’t have a drug problem are ones that institute a very quick trial death penalty sentence for drug dealers,” he said. “You execute a drug dealer, and you’ll save 500 lives.”

Trump also took aim at what he called the left’s “perverted sexualization of minor children,” alluding to the Biden administration’s support for youth sex change surgery for children and Democrats’ broader effort to push radical gender theory in K-12 schools. Trump derided such developments as a “hallmark of cultural and social decay,” calling on Republicans to focus on cultural renewal along with a restoration of public safety.

On immigration, Trump called for major reforms to tackle the disaster created by the Biden administration. Border patrol officials have estimated that more than 500,000 “gotaways” have entered the U.S. in FY 2022 alone, referring to those illegal aliens who are spotted entering the country but never captured or encountered by border agents. Among this number are likely scores of drug dealers and known criminals who are now moving undetected into American communities. To address this threat, the former president called for mass deportation of illegal aliens and a return to his administration’s border security policies, most of which have been reversed by the Biden team.

Tuesday’s speech at AFPI follows a series of recent Trump addresses that have honed in specifically on public safety and law and order. At a July 8 event in Las Vegas, for instance, the 45th president slammed the Democratic Party for its weak-on-crime policies, urging the next Republican Congress to prioritize legislation that protects police officers and curbs violent crime. “A Republican Congress should help local communities hire tens of thousands of new police officers,” Trump said at the Vegas event, repeating the call to action during his Tuesday remarks in Washington.

Notably, prior to his recent diagnosis with COVID-19, Joe Biden was also scheduled to give a speech on the subject of public safety, in which he, curiously, was similarly expected to call for the training and hiring of 100,000 additional police officers. It seems that the effectiveness of Trump’s message is clear to everyone, even the current occupant of the White House. Unlike Biden and many Democrats today, however, Trump’s focus on law and order as a major campaign theme dates all the way back to his first presidential run in 2016—and particularly to his nomination acceptance speech in Cleveland, where he declared himself “the law and order candidate.”

Trump’s return to Washington—where he spoke just a mile from the White House and in the company of dozens of congressional allies and former administration officials—notably came as Joe Biden’s approval rating has continued to dip into the low 30s and as speculation continues to mount that Trump may soon launch a campaign to reclaim the presidency. “America’s story is far from over, and in fact, we are just getting ready for an incredible comeback,” he said, after teasing a 2024 run several times throughout his remarks. Just days before Trump’s AFPI remarks, he overwhelmingly won a 2024 GOP straw poll at the Turning Point USA Student Action Summit in Tampa, Florida—an event at which he also spoke.

Whether or not Trump ultimately decides to seek the White House a third time, however, Americans of all political stripes are increasingly coming to miss the Trump years and coming to see the anti-police, soft-on-crime Democrat agenda for the disaster it truly is.

President Trump always up front with the AMERICAN citizen’s.
You’ll NEVER see President Trump bowing down to Communism or woke losers or CRT LIE, Global Warming LIE, or Selling OUR OIL to Communist, or to environmental losers who do NOTHING on INVASION of ILLEGAL ALIEN TERRORIST. Look at the environmental irreparable damage done by DICTATOR Beijing biden open borders policy.

Trump is of course right. However, it remains to be seen if the American people are truly listening and want a return to the sane, rational policies implemented by a person who you know actually means what he says and deliver on those promises. That seems to be the real issue.

Many Americans seem to think that simply electing anyone with an (R) after their name will yield the same results as Trump delivered. Which of course we know from history is NOT the case or every Republican President would have been just like Reagan or Trump. Most professional politicians forget all their campaign promises the instant they get elected and deliver next to nothing while in office. So it all comes down to has the American public learned anything at all or will they just default back to electing anyone from the professional political class who gives a couple of good speeches or the left says they don’t hate that much (until they get nominated and then that person is the second coming of Hitler)? We have 2.5 years to find out.

DeSantis comes the closest to Trump in terms of both policies and delivery on his commitments. It will be interesting to see how he holds up the increased pressure from all sides of the left as 2024 gets closer. The basless smear campaigns, the unrelenting vilification by the MSM and every Democrat, if it looks like he might get the nomination will be 100x what he has faced so far and if elected, it won’t stop. So we have to see if he really wants to put himself and his family through that h*ll.

Virtually no one else in the existing list of potental 2024 contenders would come anywhere close to being able to stand up the constant attacks and pressure to comform to the “way Washington wants things done”. It would be nice if more people from the private sector would step forward, as more people like Trump is what this country desperately needs. Even is most people aren’t smart enough to realize it. Unforntately, after seeing the level and viciousness of the non-stop and unjustified attacks Trump has had to endure 24×7 since he first announced his initial back in 2015, no one is likely to ever step forward. The left has been highly successful in that objective.

Trump is right on all accounts. Now, I can see the Democrats are going to use a bait, and switch on the gullible Americans. They know they are in trouble, so they will act like we have a problem, then legislate it, get the votes to make it look good. Hey, the Dems woke up. Get voted in, and wham, go back to where we are now. Stabbed in the back again. So, do your homework on all candidates that are coming up in the midterms . Vote smart and right. If I were Trump, if he runs again, not to declare it until the midterms are over. We cannot go on where we are now.

It’s gratifying to know that (rightful) Pres. Trump hasn’t compromised his values like so many politicians do. He’s steadfast in his positions. This is a major reason that his so-called allies in the GOP have distanced themselves from him. The GOP has been infiltrated by panty-waisted RINOs whose main purpose in life is to cling to their government positions. He scares the hell out of the RINO population and the entire dirty Democrat Party.

This means absolutely nothing. As long as mail-in ballots are ok with everybody for TWO WEEKS following the election, this means nothing. As long as ballot harvesting is ok with everybody, this means nothing. As long as Nancy Pelosi is still alive and able to summon money to cheat at every level, this means nothing. The voting protocol in America and Canada has been compromised. Taxpayers do not have a voice and they sure as hll don’t have representation.

“Border patrol officials have estimated that more than 500,000 “gotaways” have entered the U.S. in FY 2022 alone,..” And without a doubt, such high number of illegals can be noticed in every part of US. I notice them as new homeless Hispanics living in park in Chicago, right next to my home. And 50 K illegals per state can easily be noticed – unless you are Democrat, Biden’s supporter. Then you’ll lie that you don`t see any difference.

Why do 30%+ still view Biden positively? Are they smoking weed or are they just plain stupid? I do not want lawless cities, an undefended border, streams of fentanyl pouring in, spineless policies like the Afghanistan debacle, inflation, and $5.00 per gallon gasoline. Do the woke really want these things? I say God bless President Trump and protect him from evil. If they tried to kill Justice Kavanaugh, they will try to kill President Trump too. The party of Satan always devises evil. We need to vote these people out!!!

The first, THE FIRST, duty of every President is the safety of America and its citizens.
That is all and everything necessary for a President to do. Anything short of that makes the President illegitimate.

Every generation must fight to maintain the freedoms our forefathers won for us. They won because they were willing to give their lives and predominantly they believed in the God honoring principles of the Jude’s Christian ethic.

We old people have been trying to raise the alarm, but the fighters must emerge from those who are in the prime of life. They must value freedom enough to sacrifice comfort, ease, and dependency on the government. The left has been unrelenting in efforts to corrupt, mislead, and propagandize through all the cultural institutions they control.

We need a miracle of God to “wake up the woke”, and I don’t believe that is humanly possible. But if God has mercy on us, a spiritual revival might break through the collective stupor. I pray that multitudes will humble themselves and confess their need for God’s forgiveness. Then maybe we can really “build back better” with solid families, propaganda free education, law and order and the rest of the things the left as undermined.

Everything DJT said should be done by whomever becomes President. This current environment we have under JB should never happen again. Other countries are also hurt because of it. We need new leadership all the way around..Let’s start to turn it around on Nov. 8th!

Trump failed to address the Jan 6th assault on the Capitol Police. And Hannity says Trump gave okay for 10K NG troops to DC that day : but Pelosi & Schumer decided not to call them out”. Then at Jan 6th hearings this week, Defense Dept. said Trump did not put out call for NG troops. What is the truth here???? And regardless of what Trump said, these were not peaceful loving protesters.
