While Donald Trump meticulously rebuilds the American economy and culture and ends the forever wars, the media, the judiciary, elements of the Pentagon, and the Federal Reserve remain in open revolt. They take measures to crash the economy, continue the Ukraine war and start a new one with Iran, build a militant British imperial agent in Canada to war against the United States, and generally sow the seeds of their own destruction. Trump's approval, however, continues to advance because the population isn't buying any of their nonsense. Now, we need to get the Congress to perform their intended role under the Constitution, that will kill the judicial insurrection.
