Don’t call it a comeback.

Donald J. Trump never left.

He never quit. He never faltered. He never took one step back.

And he took this entire country, and this entire movement, and millions and millions of people on his back, and he said, “if you follow me, I will lead this country to a golden age of epic proportions.”

And now, after winning not just the presidency, but all seven swing states, not to mention the popular vote – the first time a Republican has won it in 20 years – he has a mandate. Not just from the American people, but from heaven itself. And the reason for that is obvious: we were just right, and they were just wrong.

But friends, saying Trump has a mandate alone is not enough. We must outline what, exactly, he has a mandate to do.

Firstly, President Trump must reactivate the American economic engine and get it roaring again. Frankly, this is the entire ball game. Americans reelected Trump not just to restore wealth, but to restore upward mobility; in a word, to rescue the American dream. If President Trump makes Americans optimistic about their chances to grow their own wealth and improve their own status in the world again, and does it lastingly, then the rest of his agenda becomes not only possible but inevitable. Americans remember who broke the economy; we need to be sure that they also remember Trump fixed it.

Second, there is cleaning up the Deep State. When Donald J. Trump walks into the White House again on January 20, there is no longer any reason not to give the likes of Elon Musk the ability to expose and expunge every inch of corruption, waste, fraud, and abuse within the administrative state. And that’s just the money problems. The national security state – and particularly the three-letter agencies – must be radically reformed and take serious steps to regain America’s trust through unprecedented shows of transparency and accountability for its previous failures and flirtations with extralegal tyranny. A Twitter files for the federal government is not out of the question, and frankly, it would be glorious if it did come out. After the past four years of censorship, lawfare, unconstitutional woke discrimination, unaccountable regulatory actions, and deliberate misinterpretations of statutory law, the swamp has become so rancid that a majority of the American people want it drained. The Supreme Court already gave Congress the right to check it. Donald Trump will make that unnecessary.

Third, he must fix the runaway illegal immigration problem. About this, I have just four words: They’re all going back. All of them. No exceptions. If they don’t have a legal right to be in this country, they’re gone. Mass deportation is coming. The Enemy Aliens Act of 1798 will be invoked. The migrants who have murdered, raped, and robbed US citizens since Biden took power will be evicted or shot, whichever comes first. The floods of “asylum seekers” besieging America’s major cities will be removed. The legal farce of “birthright citizenship” will be revoked.

Fourth, we must end the wars. As of now, the Ukraine war is still ongoing, as is Israel-Gaza. Both must be ended. The authoritarian Ukraine gangster government will no longer be able to take advantage of the United States, nor keep us involved in a war which has no effect on our own people, and which frankly looks more and more like a money laundering exercise for the Deep State. The Gaza conflict, too, must end, a fact which even Hamas and the Houthis seem to acknowledge. Their revolution is over, and President Trump should take aggressive action to broke a lasting peace in the model of the Abraham Accords which preserves not just Israeli sovereignty, but stability in the Middle East, in general. The goal should not be for America to keep the region peaceful; the goal should be for America to broker a peace which the region itself can keep.

Last, but most assuredly not least, the balance of trade with China must be quickly and sharply reversed. If we mean to confront Xi Jinping’s regime, then the last thing we can possibly do is be economically dependent upon it. American companies must be incentivized to onshore facilities and jobs, and if using a carrot doesn’t work, then the stick that is tariffs must be used. President Trump should move to aggressively and unilaterally sanction cheap Chinese goods and stop the nation’s rampant intellectual property theft. Finally, President Trump must act to lessen the Chinese government’s share of US debt, in order to prevent the possibility of economic sabotage. We are now in a second Cold War. It’s time to act like it.

There will be those in the media, and possibly even in our own ranks, who call this course extreme. Ladies and gentlemen, this is not extreme. This is what the American people voted for us to do. These are the promises we made, and unlike other politicians, President-elect Trump keeps his promises. We have the mandate of heaven, and in two months, President-elect Trump will put on the armor of God for this final, most consequential battle to make America great again. It is our job to make sure we do everything in our power to have his back, for we, the American people, are President Trump’s greatest weapon against the entrenched forces of decline, decay, and degeneracy. We will not fail, and neither will he. Celebrate now, but know that tomorrow, the battle begins anew.
