[Order David Horowitz’s new book, America Betrayed, HERE.]
One day, when unbiased, non-woke, not-in-the-tank-for-the-Democrats historians appear once again in our nation, they will draw apt comparisons between former President Donald J. Trump – before, during, and after the sham show-trial forced upon him by the Democratic machine seeking to keep him off the ballot – and the likes of Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and John Hancock.
While some may find that a stretch, it is not.
Just about two years ago, I authored a book titled: The 56 – Liberty Lessons from those who risked all to sign The Declaration of Independence. The sole purpose of that book was to not only warn of the far-left’s increasing attempts to cancel the 4th of July and our Founding Fathers, but to outline how to stop them.
For over a year prior to its publication, I spent endless hours researching the men who eventually signed the Declaration as well as those who did not. Men, by the way, who were all flawed and imperfect human beings, as are we all.
In many ways, it was the mindset of the men who refused to step up to sign the most famous document in our history, which ultimately highlighted the incredible courage, fortitude, sacrifice and genius of those who did sign. Most especially, the wealthiest of the Signers.
Back in 1776, the vast majority of the wealthy in the Colonies either remained silent, or openly became “Loyalists” to the British Crown. Why? They did not want to rock the boat or risk their wealth and privilege.
Fortunately for us, our wealthy Founding Fathers decided they could not live with themselves if they did not step out from that pack of entitled silent sheep to take a stand against the tyranny of the Crown. Each asked the two most critically important questions of their lives: “If not me, who? If not now, when?”
Now, let’s flash ahead to June of 2015.
At that time, Trump was one of the wealthiest and most well-known men not only in the United States, but in the world. He was a multibillionaire with a global business empire. Why in the world would he rock that boat? Better – like the wealthy of 1776 – to play nice with the entrenched establishment elites in both political Parties so as to secure his wealth and privilege.
I was told by friends of Trump that as he traveled the country in 2015 he was truly shocked and saddened by what he saw. That being countless Americans suffering under the failed policies of a broken and corrupt political system. And it was then, I was told that Trump asked himself those same two questions: “If not me, who? If not now, when?”
So, he declared himself a candidate for President.
And from the second he did, he was savaged by the forces from the left as well as Republican “Never-Trumpers” who knew they could not control him. As we know, once he shocked the political world with his victory in 2016, those vile attacks only intensified. By 2020, it was clear that there was no line the Democrats and their bootlickers in the liberal media would not cross to “get Trump.”
Come 2024 Trump did not have to guess what some Democrats had in store for him if he ran for President because they openly telegraphed the strategy. They had a bloodlust to imprison him by any means necessary.
Now, think about that for a moment. Trump knew they were marshaling an army of activist liberal judges, prosecutors, district attorneys and state supreme courts against him in a desperate attempt to imprison him and he still chose to run for president.
Many have forgotten – or are not taught – that a number of Founding Fathers paid a cruel price for signing the Declaration of Independence. As in: having their homes and crops burned to the ground; their livestock slaughtered; being imprisoned; being tortured; having their wives arrested and sexually abused; and their sons arrested.
In spite of that – and because of that – our Founding Fathers believed that unless and until they imprison us or take our lives, they cannot silence our individual voices. They can’t stop us from speaking out in the defense of our liberty and our rights.
Trump would not be silenced. Illegal gag orders or not, he spoke out for his rights while highlighting the threats against his liberty and…ours.
And as his voice still echoes, we should all think: “There but for the Grace of God go I.” For if the forces of the far-left can do this to a multibillionaire former President of the United States, they can do it to any one of us.
Sadly, there are multiple conservative, Republican, and faith-based billionaires with broad reaching talents who have chosen to remain on the sidelines. Who have chosen to “not rock the boat.” Who have allowed themselves to be cowed into silence by the forces of the far-left.
Trump was – and is – not one. Honest history will one day record that when the United States of our time needed a champion with the traits of a “Founding Father,” Trump stood up and fought the good fight against the entrenched establishments and overwhelming odds.
A fight he is still waging.

Bidens done nothing but make things worse but he is like Obama helping Gun Sales
kathy says
First-rate article, and so needed today! As crude as Trump can be at times (we’re all human) one FACT shines forth:
HE LOVES AMERICA! He is tough, but you’d HAVE to be to go against the evil forces that are ruling in today’s world. TRULY the LEADER we need!
THX 1138 says
I love Donald Trump. I thoroughly admire his courage, fortitude, stamina, and endurance.
His heart is in the right place, unfortunately, he does not have the intellect, erudition, or eloquence of a Madison or a Jefferson. He is inarticulate and all too often puts his foot in his mouth.
How I wish that he would choose Kari Lake as his next vice president, she’s a street brawler just like President Trump, her election was stolen just like Trump, but unlike Trump she can destroy an opponent with a single sentence.
Ed Cane says
He is the ‘right man’ for the job at hand. No other human being could have handled the constant pressure from every direction, every minute of every day for almost 10 years. He’s a leader, not a politician. That’s what America needs right now. Democrats are destroying our country.
Intrepid says
Is there ever a time when you tell the truth about anything? The only thing you love is yourself and the moronic childish comments you post
Yeah, you love Trump except you want to change everything about him. That resembles Obama’s fundamental change. He supposedly loves the country but wants to fundamentally change it.
Unfortunately for you, but fortunately for America, Trump doesn’t need to be an intellectual fairy queen professor. He needs to be a fighter which he already is.
As for Kari Lake she would be the absolute wrong choice for VP. She can’t seem to win her cases in court and her personality turns everyone but you off. And much like you, she is not ready for primetime.
MuggsSpongedice says
You never met Kari Lake and talked to her I suppose because if you did you soul would be uplifted to such a pure spirit to person she is. Integrity beams out of Kari and you don’t get that with duplicity and hypocrisy that leads to lies lies and a lifetime of lying. . Kari Lake would be an awesome working VP. Kari is gladly being mentored by President Trump and would be molded into the MAGA beast we need to run after President Trump’s second term as POTUS 47. Two terms with Kari Lake as POTUS after one more term with President Trump will get this nation on a solid course. There is a lot of wars to be one and things to be corrected in USA and it’s going to be ugly if you listen to the main sleze media!
Intrepid says
I have met Lake on numerous occasions. Her office is right next to Republic Monetary Exchange in Phoenix. Even our morning KFYI radio host has her on less and less.
She has been ineffective when it comes to the courts and the judges regarding the fraud in the election. She doesn’t win her cases. She has gone about it in a very haphazard way and she will never be the governor. She needs to win elections. She hasn’t won anything yet.
As for you, you might try an ESL class. Your spelling is terrible as is your syntax. Plus I think you have a crush on her.
MuggsSpongedice says
I too think Kari Lake would be the best choice for POTUS Trump’s running mate and a willing to be mentored by Trump and the perfect candidate in 2028 to carry on MAGA corrections to our nation. However, I thumbs down the comments that Trump is crude and inarticulate. Donald J. Trump is man of GOD in an inarticulate, fallen, demonic, corrupt, swamp coup d’etat that has taken USA without firing a single shot. First salvo was the pLandemic and cinching salvo was the rigging and stealing of the 2020 election as well as the 2022 election in Arizona where Kari would be governor now! President Trump simply tells the truth in plain street language not political doublespeak and political correctness woke bullshit. Check your zipper and check your mentality on what path you want to see the USA go! As USA goes so goes the world. Were we better off with so-called mean tweets or the lying commie demonic ilk stooge puppets installed in the White House and CONgrAss that we are suffering with now?
MuggsSpongedice says
Incredible and unbelievable parroted remark sans any critical thinking – a flaw we all must patch when we come to i Let me set you correct on critical thinking critical outcome:
1. How do you know how Madison or a Jefferson spoke or gave talks and speeches?
2. I would rate President Donald J. Trump as the most articulate POTUS in history and sets the Expected Bar of POTUS. President Trump does what he says he will do. Donald Trump was trained thus in business. A self discipline and standards by which he gained his sustainable perpetual success and will continue to defeat every foe and right the USA Constitutionally, well armed and ready for the demonic onslaught of possessed humans he will face as POTUS 47!
Prof. Dr. Thomas Sowell said Obama is a great orator but what is he saying and what he said never happened. Because what Obama did in secret is the results we have today!
The network of globalists and jihadists ready to strike as the stolen election of 2020 had Joe Biden installed who is a stooge puppet whore and always has been, a blatant treasonous crook, with open borders letting in jihad terrorists and MS13 cartels.
Tucker Carlson’s interview with El Salvador’s new president Nayib Bukele last week, with Bukele saying MS13 is no longer in El Salvador where it began. Bukele got rid of them. So where is MS13? In USA, in Mexico, in other central American nations. The easiest nation to get set up in right now and for the last n3.5 years? USA. And MS13 gets paid to bring terrorists and gangsters into USA and operates with impunity in USA. That is the plan youngsters.
Miranda Rose Smith says
Is he acting like GeorgevWashington or is he tilting at windmills like Don Quixote?
MuggsSpongedice says
President Trump is acting like himself. The only adult in the room with the right and hands on experience to get the job done or we lose USA.. The main sleaze media and the enemies within and without USA are the Don Quixote as those who are lower vibration thinking
Steve Chavez says
Senator Cory Booker during a reparations hearing (Actually the Democrat’s BRIBE$4VOTES PROGRAM! One of many!): “Our Founding was rooted in White Supremacy!”
Didn’t he, and many others, take THE OATH to protect the DOCUMENTS those White Men wrote and from enemies, foreign and domestic? Isn’t he, and many others, THE DOMESTIC ENEMY our White Founding Fathers warned us about? THIS DUE TO THE RISE IN BLACK SUPREMACY! They are now OPENLY ranting against and blaming Whitey! If a Whitey DARED to say the same against them… OH GOLLY!

We didn’t just magically wake up living in China when Xiden took office. Trump put all those pieces in place. He signed an expanded NDAA in Nov 2017, giving the IAs greater surveillance powers and ability to share data with other agencies and outside contractors. He signed CISA into existence in 2018 in a stand-alone bill, formalizing the Censorship Complex in advance of the scamdemic (the fact that it was a stand-alone bill and there was no political pressure to sign it proves who he serves and it’s not us). He got rid of Epstein in 2019, forever protecting himself and his partners in crime. He unleashed the scamdemic in 2020 and printed $7 trillion for Wall St while poisoning the populace. His newly created CISA agency oversaw the censorship of both the dangers of the vax and Hunter’s laptop. On his way out the door, Trump reversed his ban on lobbying, pardoned a long list of deep state trash, and most egregiously, had his base deemed terrorists by setting them up with the J6 op. Finally, the CISA agency Trump signed into existence issued a report that validated the 2020 hand-off to Xiden by stating it was “the most secure election in history”.
It’s also important to note that before handing us off to Xiden, Trump closed off our every avenue of recourse by further compromising SCOTUS which refused to even protect our most basic right to have our votes counted, eliminated free speech with CISA, deemed patriots as terrorists with Jan 6, and destroyed our voting process by normalizing mail-in voting, which his CISA agency endorsed. CISA also whitewashed the 2020 hand-off to Xiden by issuing a report stating that the 2020 election was “the most secure election in history” which then gave our comped SCOTUS reason to refuse to hear the voter fraud cases.

another fing troll
DLC says
No, I’m someone that pays attention to actions instead of talking points. Try it sometime!
Daniel says
Oh, I wouldn’t go that far. Trump is a typical Jew billionaire business man who can’t hear the word no. And it got out of control. He might not be Jewish per se, but like me, he grew up with them, only he became one. He surrounds himself with them despite them stabbing him in the back every chance they get. He’s used to the Jews in the media laying accolades at his feet from his apprentice days, He knows how shallow they are because he’s pretty shallow himself. That’ changed when he got into politics but it’s the same people. That’s why he goes after them. They really pissed him off and he considers them jealous piss ants. And he would be right about that. Pence was supposed to be this devout Christian and that’s all Trump needed. That was the only reason he was tapped for VP. It was purely political and had nothing to do with what was right. There were plenty of flags with Pence and it came back to bite him. No Democrat would ever do what Pence did.
Intrepid says
Oh for a blocking feature.
Roger Mall says
Please, just please. How much of Trump’s record, personal and as president would the founding Fathers have anything to do with? Not that some did not have some of his failings. He might be considered a reprobate by many of them, Perhaps a power aggrandizing unconstitutional operator. by all of them. Billionaires running for president just might see it as a capstone as much as ‘service”. Trump did not invent MAGA nor is he a great CEO. There are more failings with him than the founding fathers would likely have fallen into — his personnel perceptibility, subject to flattery and enchantment with celebrity.. They actually risked their lives and fortunes. Trump has actually done neither.. We have covered his legal expenses and his convictions are appealable. . Running again is the best way for him to sustain himself. That said he is far superior to the utter evil of Democrat leadership.

MuggsSpongedice says
so you’re voting for President Trump, right?
Chris Shugart says
Love him or hate him, he has the one quality that most of Washington lacks. When he threw his hat into the ring in 2015, we wasn’t a politician. I think that’s the main reason that ordinary people like him and status-quo bureaucrats hate him. And it should be pointed out that this distinction is something he shares with our Founders. There was a time when running the country was considered a part time job, not a career designed to envelop your entire life. I’ve always thought that the worst invective you can throw at a candidate running for office would be calling him a “politician.” They all should go, and give the country back to the citizens.
