President Trump Is Waging War on a More Than Entrenched Deep State
On Inauguration Day 2025, Jan. 20, President Trump wasted no time as he began his term.
Our nation's now 47th commander in chief immediately addressed the so-called swamp monsters (a/k/a, the Washington D.C. professional class) with the "Declaration of Independence 2.0," a message We the People sent him to deliver.
As the declaration sunk in, the outgoing regime, "Uniparty" officials, Marxists, Neocons, lobbyists, law firms, bankers, and others — covered their ears, recoiling from the announced dismantling of DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) programs, climate scams, lawfare, reckless spending, futile wars, corruption, censorship, and more.
Meanwhile, the real "cannons" were being prepared across town at the Capital One Center: executive orders (EOs) aimed, point blank, at the swamp and its globalist allies.
The onset of Trump's war on the status quo did not disappoint.
The swamp's quick reaction force leapt into action as multiple executive orders were volleyed across the Potomac.
Thousands of supporters braved freezing temperatures to rally at Capital One, eagerly awaiting the president’s bold moves.
Predictably, CNN, MSNBC, and other media outlets resorted to their usual playbook, filled with smugness that belied their outright panic.
Cries of "racism," "dictator," and "threat to democracy" echoed, while the most outrageous reaction was reserved for the president's decision to free over 1,500 political prisoners. (Note to the Marxist apparatchiks: political prisoners are a "no-no" in a constitutional republic.)
The swamp’s counterattacks persist to this hour.
In the U.S. Senate, "Uniparty" loyalists are doing everything they can to obstruct or delay the confirmation of the president’s team.
Key senators, risking their careers in upcoming primaries, stand against the "Make America Great Again" mandate.
But these senators seem oblivious to their own precarious positions — many will be lucky to avoid criminal investigations for their activities over the past 11 years.
Why 11 years?
Because Jan. 1, 2014, marked the beginning of the Biden and Fauci pardons.
It also preceded the orchestrated Maidan revolution in Ukraine, another front in Trump's war that promises to expose many swamp-dwellers.
The third prong of the swamp’s counterattack comes from the deep state.
Unelected bureaucrats and senior executive services personnel, more loyal to their own agendas than their constitutional oaths, remain determined to undermine the president.
Early skirmishes — delaying Jan. 6 prisoner repatriations, shuffling job titles, or confronting the whining about losing the Milley portrait — have revealed a formerly formidable force reduced to desperate show clerks clinging to their taxpayer-funded perks.
Perhaps it’s time for a review board to evaluate federal employees before they retire?
Meanwhile, Big Pharma, Big Food, and K Street lobbyists scramble to adjust to a communications blackout at the NIH, CDC, and FDA.
Over 120 National Security Council staffers are now idle, awaiting reviews of their fitness to serve. As the swamp watches with mounting horror, President Trump has already moved the his warlike campaign overseas, delivering a pointed Zoom call to what many consider the head of the snake: the World Economic Forum (WEF).
Globalism and the worship of elite, high priests of the top 1%, appear to be out of fashion this year. Attendance at the WEF is at its lowest since its inception in 1971, during the Kissinger-Schwab heyday.
But that didn’t stop the president.
He grinned like the Cheshire Cat (in "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland") as he delivered a 14-minute speech, leaving WEF attendees moribund.
Trump lambasted unnecessary wars, the climate scam, unfair trade deals, violations of national sovereignty, the corrupt Paris Accords, signed on April 22, 2016, and even transgender ideology.
He delivered a particularly biting blow to private jet-owning elites who want Americans to eat bugs, declaring that the U.S. will no longer foot the bill for their globalist schemes.
Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan, singled out for de-banking (or de-risking, as entrenched banks call it) conservatives, received a personal rebuke.
Ouch!
We the People, who sent Trump back to the swamp as our champion, are largely pleased with these opening days of his refreshed war.
There will inevitably be setbacks — like creepy Larry Ellison's glowing praise of mRNA vaccines in the White House — but the president is clearly donning our armor and wielding our voice to restore our nation and its liberties.
What amounts to the outright theft of America by the swamp and globalists will be reversed.
The guilty will be held accountable.
After all they’ve done to him and his family, who better than Donald J. Trump stand for America and finish the job?
