Trump: I Want Everyone to Stop Dying


Armstrong Economics Blog/War Re-Posted Jul 24, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

Trump seems to be the only one concerned about the casualties of war. When I went to Mar-a-Lago in March 2020, Trump stressed the fact that he was tired of calling mothers and telling them that their sons had been killed in Afghanistan. Granted, he would have devised a better strategy than Biden of simply leaving, but we avoided war under Trump.

“Do you want Russia or Ukraine to win the war?” the clueless CNN reporter kept asking Trump as if she were asking him who he wanted to win the World Cup or Super Bowl.

No one wins in war. People say they want to see Ukraine decimate Russian troops, perhaps even all of Russia. Do they realize what they are saying? The people on the battlefield are not the decision-makers. They are young men and women who have barely had enough time to experience this world. They have no say in politics or the logistics of warfare. Many do not even wish to be there but have no choice. Every time you hear of soldiers dying, those are someone’s children, grandchildren, cousins, friends — you get the picture.

Trump said he could create peace within 24 hours. I would be interested to hear his proposal. It is a shame that everything Trump says is controversial. It is amazing how wanting peace and preventing mass murder is now a controversial statement. You’re on the wrong side of history for not wanting more people dead on one side. The Neocons are mass murderers. Prigozhinm, while a bit crazed, accurately stated the people who are waging these wars are not sending their children to the battlefield to die. Yet those same leaders are willing to sacrifice a generation of young men to play as toy soldiers in their depraved war games.

Trump Leads with DeSantis Falling to Third Place in Latest South Carolina Poll


Posted originally on the CTH on July 23, 2023 | Sundance 

This poll seems to align with the previous forecast predictions.  Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has spent a great deal of time in South Carolina over the past two weeks.  The result, he’s dropped from second to third place.  The more voters get to see DeSantis, the lower his in-state polling becomes.

DISCLAIMER – South Carolina is an open primary, vulnerable to Big Club shenanigans.

President Trump has a clear lead in the Palmetto state at 48% according to the latest Fox (Shaw Research) poll [DATA HERE]. Nikki Haley has entered first loser position at 14%, followed closely by Ron DeSantis at 13% and Tim Scott at 10%.

Candidate I Don’t Know (4%) is now ahead of Mike Pence, Vivek Ramaswamy, Chris Christie and Asa Hutchinson. While Gas Station Sushi is polling ahead of Doug Burgum, Larry Elder, Will Hurd and Francis Suarez

At 48%, President Donald Trump is 16 points higher in the polls than he was when he won the South Carolina primary in 2016.

NATIONAL OUTLOOK – The latest Harvard Harris national poll [DATA HERE] shows Donald Trump beating Joe Biden 45% to 39%, which includes President Trump holding a massive 18-point advantage with independent voters 45% to 27%.

Meanwhile the New York Times is reporting the controversial anti-Trump attack ad portraying Ron DeSantis as the slayer of the alphabet people was actually created by the campaign, likely inspired by the direction of Ms. Christina Pushaw who has been conspicuously quiet since the rebranding huggy phase began.

[…] One recent move that drew intense blowback, including from Republicans, was the campaign’s sharing of a bizarre video on Twitter that attacked Mr. Trump as too friendly to L.G.B.T.Q. people and showed Mr. DeSantis with lasers coming out of his eyes. The video drew a range of denunciations, with some calling it homophobic and others homoerotic before it was deleted.

But it turns out to be more of a self-inflicted wound than was previously known: A DeSantis campaign aide had originally produced the video internally, passing it off to an outside supporter to post it first and making it appear as if it was generated independently, according to a person with knowledge of the incident.  The DeSantis campaign declined to comment on specific questions about its spending, the candidate’s travel and the video.

The DeSantis campaign has turned to the Utah Mormon community looking for financial assistance.

Politico – Top officials on Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s campaign acknowledged to donors on Sunday that they’d spent too much money and that further changes would be made as they look to recover from a disappointing start, according to three people who were present for the discussion.

Appearing before around 70 of the campaign’s top contributors at the Stein Eriksen Lodge in Deer Valley, Utah, DeSantis’ campaign manager Generra Peck said money had been spent on operations that had turned out to be ineffective and that the campaign would move to a leaner, “insurgent” posture going forward. Among the changes being made were to “expose” voters to DeSantis more, said Nick Iarossi, a Florida-based lobbyist and fundraiser who was at the event. (read more)

Michigan Poll – “Not Sure Yet” Closing in on Ron DeSantis


Posted originally on the CTH on July 22, 2023 | Sundance 

In the latest Michigan Poll [DATA HERE] candidate Not Sure Yet is closing in on candidate Ron DeSantis for first place loser.

[SOURCE]

According to numerous sources in the region, team Undecided has been blasting DeSantis for weeks.  Meanwhile, with Not Sure Yet surging, the Super PAC supporting I Don’t Know is rumored to be gearing up for a major push.

It’s anyone’s guess because the Michigan primary is a long way off, but a neck and neck four-way race between Not Sure, Undecided, DeSantis and I Don’t Know, could make things really interesting.  Keep watching…. and don’t forget, Maybe is the dark horse.

Judge Aileen Cannon Sets DOJ Trial Date -vs- Donald Trump for May 20, 2024


Posted originally on the CTH on July 21, 2023 | Sundance 

There are buckets and buckets of legal contingencies in the fabricated case created by Special Counsel Jack Smith, acting on behalf of Andrew Weissmann, Barry Berke, Norm Eisen and Mary McCord, and the DOJ case against Donald J. Trump.

So many contingencies, there is almost no reason to look at any procedural process with any inclination the date will have consequence.  However, that said, Judge Aileen Cannon has smartly delayed the trial portion of the case until May 20, 2024.  [Full Legal Outline pdf]

I say smartly, because by Mid-May 2024, President Trump will likely have wrapped up the GOP nomination, and that structural reality itself will punt the rest of the gibberish into a time ever more distant.   Smart base-covering and no room for appeal move by Judge Cannon.

Some may see this as a loss or a gain for either side.  Personally, I view this as a structural and procedural win for President Trump, a wrongly targeted American citizen within a process weaponized by a comprehensively corrupt government.

Judge Cannon is no dummy. She knows the stakes, sees the transparency of the effort, and is not an ideologue.  Her earlier rulings, in the document side of the FBI raid, reflected her awareness the system was being manipulated by agents of Lawfare intent.  May 20th, which will never happen, is a good target all things considered.

[ Full Ruling pdf Here]

(Via politico) – […] U.S. District Court Judge Aileen Cannon appeared to split the difference between prosecutors’ request for a December 2023 trial date and Trump’s request to postpone the trial until after the November 2024 election.

[…] While Cannon earned a reputation as being deferential to Trump due to her rulings in a civil case challenging the FBI’s search of Mar-a-Lago last year, her early rulings in the criminal case appear designed to chart a middle course between Trump and the government. She has so far avoided tipping her hand on most of the explosive legal issues likely to arise during the pretrial proceedings. (more)

Ramaswamy Leaps Ahead of Shrinking DeSantis in National Republican Poll


Posted originally on the CTH on July 20, 2023 | Sundance 

Many people said it was likely to happen and indeed it has.  Vivek Ramaswamy has now overtaken Ron DeSantis to become the top loser to Donald Trump in the GOP primary race.  According to a Kaplan Strategies poll [LINK HERE] Ron DeSantis has now dropped to third place in the presidential preference polling.

KAPLAN – “Vivek Ramaswamy, biotech investor, has made significant strides in his political journey, tying with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis in the latest national GOP poll. Both candidates claimed the support of 12 percent of likely GOP voters, coming second to President Donald Trump, who maintains a dominant 48 percent lead.

Doug Kaplan, founder of Kaplan Strategies, the firm that conducted the poll, highlights the rising popularity of Ramaswamy in the face of nine competitors. “Ramaswamy outperformed six other hopefuls by more than double, marking a significant surprise in this poll,” Kaplan comments.

While DeSantis remains a top-tier candidate amongst non-Trump choices, he now shares this status with Ramaswamy. The reactions of these camps in the face of this new dynamic are anticipated with interest.

Despite DeSantis’ favorable rating of 59 percent amongst GOP voters, Kaplan suggests that Ramaswamy may have the potential for a higher ceiling, as he is less well-known amongst Republican voters, with a 27 percent Uncertain rate.

Meanwhile, the poll underscores the unwavering support President Trump holds within the GOP, despite the crowded field challenging him. Trump boasts a combined 69 percent favorability rating, leaving little room for uncertainty.” (MORE)

Sunday Talks, President Trump Interviews with Maria Bartiromo – Full Video


Posted originally on the CTH on July 16, 2023 | Sundance 

President Trump appears with Maria Bartiromo for a lengthy discussion about the current state of politics. {Direct Rumble Link} Within the interview both domestic and foreign policy issues are discussed as well as Trump’s perspectives on the candidates contesting to win the GOP nomination.

It is an interesting interview on many fronts as we look at the republican primary and the candidates who are situated on behalf of institutional and financial interests that oppose President Trump.  WATCH:

The war in Ukraine ends the moment Trump is elected. Russia keeps the eastern part where the U.S. was provoking unrest.  The U.S. stops trying to use Ukraine as a proxy provocation against Russia.  Ukraine stops doing stupid stuff, becomes independent of the USA, and takes care of its own people.  And with Trump’s assurance to Russia – Ukraine will not join NATO. Everything stops. Done.

Rupert Murdoch Panel Struggles to Cope, as Looming Godzilla Trump Eats New York Harbor


Posted originally on the CTH on July 14, 2023 | Sundance 

As Rupert Murdoch begins retreating from the failing Ron DeSantis his team is struggling and destabilized.  The Fox News panel spends entire segments dedicated to group coping and counseling without a clear direction on what is going to happen next.  {Direct Rumble Link}

The transparency of their struggle and visible anxiety is quite humorous, and while it is not my intention to deliver any credibility to their organizational mission, it is genuinely funny to watch them trying to cope.  They are completely flummoxed on what to do next, devoid of direction, feeling abandoned and confused as the quaking footprints of Godzilla Trump can be heard in the background crushing all the buildings and closing in. Furrowed brow Brian Kilmeade is particularly destabilized. WATCH:
