Presidential candidate Donald Trump does not do retail politics. No glad-handing,no baby-kissing, no phony folksiness at the diner counter, no TV debates. His events are High Masses of the MAGA movement. It is worth one’s while to listen closely,
***
In his speeches Trump portrays a country in decline which has lost in grandeur and power in the world. He is right. The map of geopolitics and the global economy is redrawn. No longer are the US of A necessarily the model for the rest of the world. This hurts. It hurts in a similar way like a lost war. Trump is directing the frustration inward. He holds the political opponent accountable. He shows Crooked Joe Biden (wer are going back to 2016) as a treacherous collaborator with the enemies of America. It is legitimate to draw a parallel to Germany’s Weimar Republic after World War I , Dolchstoss and the rest.

At his last campaign event in New Hampshire, a rally in a resort hotel outside of Laconia, Donald Trump summed up his appeal in a long coda to his stump speech. After one hour, a hurray for “our American Liberty” as “your God-given right” seemed to mark the end of the oration: “This nation belongs to you”, told the Caudillo his followers. “You inhherit the legacy of red-blooded New Hampshire patriots. You’ve really patriots. Incredible Patriots who lived by that very, very simple, but actually quite complex statement. “Live free or die.”
***
This could have marked the finale. But after Live Free or Die a soft music set in, the same kind of music they play in the TV-services of the Televangelists, when the ushers collect the obolus from the flock.

Trump continued. “We stand on the shoulders of American heroes who crossed the ocean. settled the continent tamed the wilderness, laid down the railroads. raised up the skyscrapers, won two world Wars, defeated fascism and communism, and made America the single greatest nation in the history of the world.”
***
At this point, the speaker made a long pause. He marked reverence, the head a tilt, the heavily bronzed face in a thoughtful pose. From the audience came yells. “We love you!” “where we go one, we go all!” “Free the J-sixers!” “Free the J-sixers!”
***
Trump took it all in. “We will’, he said. Then he picked up his train of thought.
“But now we are a nation in decline. We are a failing nation. We are a nation that has the highest inflation in 50 years. Where banks are collapsing, and interest rates are skyrocketing. Likewise, we are a nation where energy costs have reached the highest levels in our history. We are no longer energy independent or energy dominant as we were just a few short years ago. We are a nation that is begging Venezuela and others for oil. “Please please, please,” says Joe Biden. Yet we have more liquid gold under our feet than any other country anywhere in the world. We are a nation that just recently heard that Saudi Arabia and Russia will be reducing their own production while at the same time substantially increasing the price of oil, and we met that threat by announcing that we will no longer be drilling for oil in large areas of Alaska or elsewhere on our lands. We are a nation that is consumed by the radical lefts green New Deal. Yet everyone knows that the green new scam is fake. And it will lead to our destruction. We are a nation whose leaders are demanding all electric cars despite the fact that they don’t go far, cost too much and whose batteries are produced in China with materials only available in China when an unlimited amount of gasoline is available inexpensively in the United States but not available in China. And now we are a nation that wants to make a revered and very powerful army tanks the best in the world all electric so that despite the fact that they are not able to go far, fewer pollutants will be released into the air as we blast our way through enemy territory in an environmentally friendly way. And they also want to make our jet fighters with a green stamp of energy approval though losing 15% deficiency but allowing us to keep our enemies atmosphere clean of emissions as we viciously and unceremoniously attack them at levels never seen before. Who are these people that would do this to us?
Who are these people who would ruin our country?
We are a nation that has ended oil exploration and production in the United States just as the price of oil reached an all-time high. What other country would do such a thing?
How foolish are we?
How stupid are our leaders?
We can be energy independent and even energy dominant, yes. Oh yes, and quickly, says President Trump, we will be there very quickly.
We are a nation that surrendered in Afghanistan, leaving dead soldiers, American citizens, and $85 billion worth of the finest military equipment anywhere in the world, we left it behind and also abandoning Bagram. This is one of the biggest most important military bases anywhere in the world, and only one hour away from China, Where China makes its nuclear weapons. We left Bagram, the best in the world, the biggest. We left it to China and who is occupying it now? China is occupying it now. And we are a nation that allowed Russia and Ukraine to fight. Killing hundreds of thousands of people and it will only get worse. It would never have happened with me as your President and for four straight years it didn’t happen. Likewise, the horrifying attack on Israel would never have happened. They wouldn’t even have thought of doing such a thing if President Trump was in the Oval Office. You know it and everyone else knows it. Iran was broke under the Trump administration. They didn’t have the money to fund Hamas. Hezbollah and all other instruments of terror they gave them so much money. But those sanctions that I put on were lifted by a corrupt Biden administration, and now Iran is a rich country with $200 billion and another 6 billion for hostages that they just got and 10 billion for electricity that they sent to Iraq. All complements of an incompetent Biden Administration. And China, with Taiwan, is next.
We are a nation that allows radical left terrorists to violently attack our cities. Leaving behind massive destruction and death, and nothing happens to the criminals that do these horrible things. There is no punishment, but when people who love our country protest on January 6th in Washington. They become hostages, unfairly imprisoned for long periods of time.
We are a third world nation that has weaponized its law enforcement against the opposing political party like never before. We’ve got a Federal Bureau of Investigation that won’t allow bad election changing facts to be presented to the public, and which offers $1 million to a writer of fiction about Donald Trump to lie and say it was fact where Hunter Biden’s laptop from hell was Russian disinformation and the FBI knew it wasn’t, but 51 intelligence agents said it was. And the Department of Justice that refuses to investigate egregious acts of voting irregularities and fraud.
And we have a man who is totally corrupt and the worst president in the history of our country. Who is cognitively impaired and in no condition to lead and is now in charge of dealing with Russia, China in possible nuclear war and he has no idea what he’s doing. We could lead to World War Three and far more devastating than any war. This will be a war like no other because the weaponry is so powerful. Powerful beyond description. Powerful beyond words.
We are a nation that no longer has a Free Press. Fake news is all you get, and they are indeed the enemy of the people they refuse to discuss the Biden crime family but enjoy covering the false indictments of Donald J Trump who has done nothing wrong except win an election that he wasn’t expected to win. We are a nation where free speech is no longer allowed and where crime is rampant and out of control like never before.
We are a nation that is allowing Iran to build a massive nuclear weapon and China to use the trillions and trillions of dollars that has taken from us to build a military to rival our own. And less than three years ago we had Iran, China, Russia, North Korea in check, they respected us. They were afraid of us. They weren’t going to do a thing against us, and everyone knows it now. Russia and China are holding summits to carve up the world. And perhaps most importantly we are a nation that is no longer admired, respected or listened to on the world stage. We’re not respected any longer. We are a nation that in many ways has become a joke.
And we are a nation that is hostile to liberty, freedom, faith, and even to God. We are a nation whose economy is collapsing into a cesspool of ruin. Whose supply chain is broken, whose stores are not stocked, whose deliveries are not coming and whose educational system is ranked at the very bottom of every single list.
We are a nation that just sold a once great company, United States Steel to Japan. We are a nation whose stock markets continue to success is contingent upon Maga winning the next election. It is contingent on Maga winning the next election.
We are a nation where large packs of sadistic criminals and thieves are allowed to go into stores and openly rob them, beat up and kill their workers and customers and leave with arm loads of goods, but with no retribution. Where the authority of our great police has been taken. Where their families, their pensions have been threatened and their lives would be destroyed for the mere mention of the words “law enforcement”.
We are a nation where fentanyl and other forms of illegal drugs are easier to get than groceries to feed our beautiful families. We have become a drug infested, crime ridden nation, which is incapable of solving even the smallest, smallest problem. The simplest of problems we can no longer solve. We can’t do anything.
And a powerful death penalty, we will put this on. We have to bring in the death penalty if we want to stop the infestation of drugs coming into our country. The only countries that don’t have a drug problem are those with the death penalty. A terrible thing to say. Each dealer is responsible for the death during their lives of 500 people or more. We must institute the death penalty. It’s actually an act of kindness. Mothers will never again be forced to watch their children overdosing and hopelessly dying in their arms. “What can I do? My child is dying.”
We’re a nation who was once revered. Airports are a dirty, crowded mess. You sit and wait for hours and then are notified that the plane won’t leave, they have no idea when they will. Where ticket prices have tripled. They don’t have the pilots to fly the planes. They don’t seek qualified air traffic controllers and they just don’t know what the hell they’re doing.
We are a nation that screens its citizens viciously at all ports. But if you’re an illegal alien, you’re allowed to flow through our country with no check whatsoever. We are a nation that has lost its confidence, lost its willpower, and lost its strength. We are a nation that has quite simply lost its way.
But we are not going to allow this horror to continue. Three years ago, we were at Great Nation and we will soon be a great nation again. It was hard working patriots like you who built this country. And it’s hard-working patriots like you who are going to save our country. We will fight for America like no one has ever fought before. 2024 is our final battle with you at my side. We will demolish the deep state, we will expel the warmongers. Get them out of our government. We have to get them out of our government. We will get rid of the globalists. We will cast out the Communist, Marxist, and fascists. We will throw off the sick political class that hates our country. We will rout the fake news media and we will drain the swamp. We will liberate our country from these tyrants and villains once and for all. They are destroying our country.
Like those patriots before us, we will not bend, we will not break, we will not yield. We will never give in. We will never give up and we will never, ever back down with your support.
We will go on to victories the likes of which no one has ever seen before. We will evict. Crooked Joe Biden from the White House, and we will take back our country on Election Day 2024.
The great silent majority is rising like never before, and under our leadership. The forgotten man and woman will be forgotten no longer. We are one movement, the greatest movement in the history of our country. One people, one family, and one glorious nation under God. And together we will make America powerful again.
We will make America wealthy again.
We will make America strong again.
We will make America proud again.
We will make America safe again and we will make America great again.
Thank you, New Hampshire.
God bless you all.
