The America First movement started in 1940.

I am sure there are varying degrees of Trump cultism out there. Some are totally under his spell and would jump off a cliff if asked. Some I’m sure just vote Republican because they are Republicans and dislike Dems. In general though Trump IS the party and whatever he says is the stance of the party even though he holds no office.
I don't think there are anyone that is quite that extreme of jumping off a cliff, and if there is, I would be totally surprised by that. I really think the cult thing is made up in people heads and overplayed.

Trump is the leader of the party, but the America First movement is one that started recently and not the one from 1940 that no one alive even remembers. That would be like people saying that the Tea Party movement started in 1773.

I think most if not all the stunts that have been pulled recently by the GOP have already been used by the Republicans in earlier decades. Your favorite Democrat Racheal Maddox has shown us this. In her podcasts.

More like historical facts you can look up in a dictionary… if they weren’t all fake of course.

Just think of it. If I donate some money to Trump it will have a 1000% impact. How could I possibly miss that opportunity?

That would be funny. Donate -$5,000 get -$50,000 in return in impact and make money for yourself.

❌ Breaking News! ❌

Trump has declared the Bud Light War over.

https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrum ... 9919700704
The Bud Light ad was a mistake of epic proportions, and for that a very big price was paid, but Anheuser-Busch is not a Woke company, but I can give you plenty that are, am building a list, and might just release it for the World to see. Why not, the Radical Left does it viciously to well run, Conservative companies - and people! Very nasty, but it’s the way they play the game! On the other hand, Anheuser-Busch spends $700 Million a year with our GREAT Farmers, employ 65 thousand Americans, of which 1,500 are Veterans, and is a Founding Corporate Partner of Folds of Honor, which provides Scholarships for families of fallen Servicemen & Women. They’ve raised over $30,000,000 and given 44,000 Scholarships. Anheuser-Busch is a Great American Brand that perhaps deserves a Second Chance? What do you think? Perhaps, instead, we should be going after those companies that are looking to DESTROY AMERICA!

It used to be an American brand years ago.

Now we know why the war is over. A lobbyist for Anheuser Busch is hosting a fundraiser for Trump. Now they aren’t so bad. Trump affection is definitely for sale.

Big uproar over tic toc in the US. Its parent company is in China and many believe it is an instrument to spy on Americans and shape US policy. When Trump was President he tried to ban tic toc unilaterally with an executive order. His attempt failed. That hasn’t ended the discussion. Democrats and Republicans cannot agree on anything right now but, a bill came up to ban tic toc that just passed unanimously in the House. Biden says if it reaches his desk he will sign it.

Wait…hold on. This just in. Trump has announced his support for tic toc and now doesn’t support a ban? What? How could that be? What could possibly change Trumps mind like this? I’ll give you one guess….

https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trumps- ... =108013785
As Donald Trump reverses his position on potentially banning TikTok ahead of an expected House vote this week on legislation that could lead to it being blocked in the U.S., the former president has been rebuilding his relationship with a GOP megadonor who reportedly has a major financial stake in the popular social media platform.

Trump met with the donor, hedge fund manager Jeff Yass, earlier this month at a Club for Growth donor retreat in Palm Beach, Florida, on March 1. The Club for Growth, a conservative political organization to which Yass has donated millions of dollars, has opposed anti-TikTok efforts.

How about not banning any social media? Internet censorship is something that dictatorships like China do! How could anyone think that it is American or Constitutional to do so?

I think it's just the Chinese spy angle. Just get it in the hands of Americans.

It just blows my mind that so many former Cabinet members and workers for Trump can say these kinds of dire warnings about him, and yet he still remains popular. Like, these people worked right next to him for years. This is his former Secretary of Defense talking, not some random bozo. And he's saying that Trump wanted to deploy the military and shoot people, shoot Americans. And it barely makes the news. Baffling. If any other President in American history had done this, and had his former cabinet members saying things like this about him, it would instantly sink their campaign.

How many times in history has a former President not been endorsed by the VP who served under him? I guess it's also rare to lead a violent mob trying to kill said VP.
