Over the past few years, I have been reminded that Donald J. He claimed to have shown it.
In July of this year, Eric Trump appeared on “Jesse Watters Prime Time” to discuss his father's assassination attempt, emphasizing: As a modern-day George Washington, I believe so. ”
Eric Trump is right. Aside from all the haters, liberal media, corrupt professors and historians, Trump is the modern-day Washington and Jefferson. More than that, it can be strongly argued that it is a tyranny of the far left. deep state. A college campus full of hatred. The lies emanating from the Democratic Party and the Biden-Harris White House as federal, state, and city prosecutors push false “legal” charges are truly appalling, far exceeding the tyranny and danger of the British Crown in 1776. It was like destroying freedom. method.
“Political prosecution”: Republican AGS calls for an end to “legal” prosecution of President-elect Trump
I know how the Founding Fathers thought. Because just over two years ago, I wrote a book titled “56 Freedom Lessons from the People Who Risked Everything to Sign the Declaration of Independence.'' The book's sole purpose is to not only warn of the increasing attempts by the far left to cancel the Fourth of July, the Founding Fathers, and the Star-Spangled Banner, but also to advise how best to stop them. It was to give an overview.

Having “lived” in that 1776 time frame for several months while researching and writing this book, I saw the same patriotic traits in President Trump as in Jefferson, John Hancock, and Benjamin Franklin. I did. Back in 1776, the vast majority of the wealthy colonies remained silent or openly “loyal” to the British Crown. why? They did not want to shake up the situation and did not want to risk their wealth and privileges. They chose to do nothing or hide in the shadows while those with courage and vision stepped forward.
People who not only saw the evils of tyranny, but also the future of their fellow colonists under that tyranny. And to do so, they asked themselves the two most important questions in life. “If not me, then who? If not now, then when?”
Earlier, businessman Trump rode the Trump Tower escalator for the first time on June 16, 2015. He had already asked and answered those questions. The billionaire who built a global business empire knew enough was enough. He became convinced that the entrenched ruling elite was destroying the country he loved from within. Rather than hiding in the shadows to enjoy his wealth and luxury, he burst onto the political scene with an overriding “revolutionary” message and mission. To “Make America Great Again.”
And with that declaration, he sparked a movement of tens of millions of Americans who felt abandoned by career politicians, special interests, and elites. Men and women who genuinely feared for the future their children would inherit.
And in a very real sense, that MAGA movement became today's “Minutemen.” A group of citizens who band together under the watchful eye of an ever-watching censorship state to respond as quickly as possible to threats to their freedom and welfare. Millions of new Sons and Daughters of Liberty educated themselves, organized themselves, and spread candidate Trump's words and warnings.
But they needed help. I have also pointed out over the years that over the past 50 years or so, the left and the far left have controlled the majority of what I call our country's “big five megaphones.” They are media, academia, entertainment, science, and medicine.

Candidate Trump delivered the best message possible. But it needed to be amplified and spread. Back in 1776, Jefferson, Franklin, and James Madison relied on “committees of correspondence” to spread warnings throughout the colonies to educate and inspire colonists. To let them know that if they come together, their voices will be heard and their freedom will be achieved. In 2024, Trump produced hundreds of podcasts, “X,” and appeared on several established news sites as a new “committee of communications.”
While CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, NPR, and hundreds of far-left newspapers tried to shut him down, smearing his reputation and perhaps fueling his deranged mind, candidate Trump calmly called them out. I gave it a kick. Who needs a dying and corrupt media model when new “commissions of communications” are being established in each state, providing a platform that can literally reach more than 50 million people at once?
Rather than hiding in the shadows to enjoy his wealth and luxury, he burst onto the political scene with an overriding “revolutionary” message and mission. To “Make America Great Again.”
During the American Revolution, Paul Revere issued his famous ride warning: “The British are coming. The British are coming.” In 2024, President Trump's “Committee on Communications” continued to warn, “The woke ones are coming. The woke ones are coming.” But more than that, they blasted candidate Trump's words and policies. Founder and leader of the MAGA movement. “It's a people's movement.”

Returning to Eric Trump's point, if one day our country again has an unbiased, non-woke, non-Democratic historian, they will liken President-elect Donald Trump to the Founding Fathers. . . And they would be right to do so.
Don't step into the MAGA movement.
