Editorial by Summer Lane |
One year ago on January 8, 2024, I spent a few hours at the sprawling Palm Beach estate of the Trump Family, the sparkling and lovely Mar-a-Lago.
It was an adventure. It also marked the calm before the storm of election year intensity. With just a handful of days to go before the Iowa caucuses, I met with President Trump in his office. Just one day after we met, his mother-in-law, Amalija Knavs, passed away.
I found it quite remarkable that amid such a difficult time for his family – and a busy schedule – that the president had time to meet with anyone, let alone me, and I think it’s a testament to just how much President Trump really cares about the people in the movement of MAGA.
I always believed that he could win in 2024, and I think his massive landslide victory in November proved not only me – but many allies – absolutely correct: the people are with him, because the people want to see the country returned to greatness and peace once again.
As we are just 12 days out from Inauguration Day (hooray!), I have re-shared the article I wrote one year ago immediately after I met President Trump, when I put my thoughts on paper right away to capture the experience as best I could for my readers.
I stand by every word I said then, and I am so glad Americans embraced him wholeheartedly in 2024 and that we can look forward to four years of prosperity and sanity in America as he takes office this month.
January 8, 2024:
This week, I had the honor of meeting with President Donald J. Trump at his beautiful home, Mar-a-Lago, in Palm Beach, Florida. The president and his staff were incredibly gracious and warm. I was able to watch the president from a different perspective outside of covering speeches and rallies. Meeting him in person and listening to his interactions with the people around him confirmed what I already knew: Donald Trump is a good man who genuinely loves the country.
He’s also a fighter. If you’ve read my editorials, you know how strongly I argue for Trump’s tough-and-clear approach to negotiations in the political sphere and particularly in the realm of foreign policy. As the only uncontrolled and non-establishment candidate in the GOP race, Trump is hated vehemently by the RNC and the DNC alike. This is one of the biggest reasons why the people love Trump. He’s a man of the people, rather than a representative of the oligarchic Washington globalists.
He’s a man of “common sense,” as he often says. He has a broad populist appeal. He has a strong track record of success in the White House, and now that Joe Biden has recklessly destroyed and denigrated the sovereignty and dignity of the United States, Americans can see now, more than ever, how much of a difference one president can make.
We stand on the precipice of World War III. We also stand on the edge of economic collapse, devastation, and depression. Our country is threatened and weakened by the influx of millions of unvetted illegal migrants – many of whom have been tied to terrorist organizations and even communist China. Christians and people of faith are routinely belittled and attacked by the radical left as they push their fringe agenda in our schools and workplaces.
President Trump has unflinchingly stood up for the rights of religious Americans, worked to treat our veterans with respect, and pushed hard for common-sense border policies that protect our people FIRST.
This election is about the survival of the country – period. This is not a time to wax poetic about days of yesteryear or pivot back to establishment hacks because they’re “nice.” Trump is a tried-and-true fighter. He is the man in the arena. We need someone tough. We need someone who will bring despotic dictators to heel and wipe out the bureaucratic corruption that has rotted our three-letter agencies and legal system to the core.
Whether you like it or not, he’s the only man who’s willing to take on the corruption of the D.C. aristocracy and political mafia that is hamstringing American potential and prosperity.
Consider, if you will, what Trump is up against: 91 felony charges in four different indictments. Unprecedented legal battles on every front – all of them, brought after he announced his 2024 reelection bid. He’s also up against the entire media machine and the full might of the entertainment industry, publishing industry, and even Washington itself is pushing against Trump 2024.
Making America great again threatens the goals of globalist elites who want nothing more than to hoard power for themselves, destroy middle-class America, crush the Constitution, and push us into more endless, bloody, foreign wars for the purposes of moving us closer to global destabilization, fear, and control.
It is our moral responsibility as American citizens to reject the desecration of our sacred liberties, to stand uniformly against the injustices of a corrupt system, and to push onward and upward toward a better and freer tomorrow for the next generation.
After all, Thomas Jefferson wisely warned us long ago, “Every government degenerates when trusted to the rulers of the people alone. The people themselves therefore are its only safe depositories. And to render even them safe their minds must be improved to a certain degree.”
Americans must educate themselves and look past the harsh and largely untrue lies pushed in the media every day, analyze the facts, and search constantly for the truth.
President Trump is the man who exposed the “Fake News” and showed the world just how disgusting the Washington swamp and the military-industrial complex really are. A vote for Trump is a vote against the establishment. A vote for Trump is a vote to bring back secure borders, American military might, energy independence, economic success, and worldwide balance and peace. A vote for Trump is a vote to protect the American churches and the rights of people of faith. A vote for Trump is a vote for parents and parental rights. A vote for Trump is a vote for lower taxes, better living wages, and the bolstering of American manufacturing and farming.
With Trump, there are no surprises. The man has been as transparent and as clear as anyone could possibly be.
It’s ALL on the line this time, America. Trust me – you NEED this man fighting for you in the White House because nobody else has the strength or the integrity to get the job done.
A vote for Trump is a vote to SAVE our country. This is our 1776 moment. We MUST reclaim our American heritage and our freedoms.
Let’s MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.
