Many times, when we are too close to something, it can seem out of focus or undefined. But then, when distance and time are added, it immediately snaps into the sharpest of clarity and meaning.
I maintain that is what is happening now about how President Donald J. Trump is transforming our government, our quality of life, our nation, and even the world. He, and he alone, is ushering in a new American revolution. One which may not be clear to us now, but months, years, and even decades from now, once honest “historians” not in the tank for the far-left and the Democratic Party reemerge and shine a light on the “Trump Revolution,” it will become crystal clear to all. As well as its massive historical significance.
And rightfully so. As has been reported, Donald Trump has done more in his first month than any other President in history. And just who is in second place? Only the “father” of our country, George Washington.
Give that just one moment of serious thought. During his first several weeks in office, Trump eclipsed the first President of our Republic and the man assigned with the Herculean task of standing it up after a brutal but victorious revolution.
I state this as one who spent months “living” back in 1776 as I studied our Founding Fathers and the American Revolution in order to write a book titled “The 56 – Liberty Lessons from those who risked all to sign The Declaration of Independence.” The sole purpose of that book is to protect those American heroes, the 4th of July, and even the American flag from the smears and threats of cancellation from the far-left and corrupt academia.

As I wrote the book, I honestly believed it might ultimately serve as one of the last defenses of those men, their genius, their courage, and their sacrifice as the far-left was rapidly – and quite possibly, permanently – expanding its draconian censorship machine within what I call the “five major megaphones of our nation.” Those are the media, academia, entertainment, science, and medicine. What, or who could stop them from achieving this nation-altering and liberty-destroying goal?
During his first administration, I wrote multiple columns for this site defending Trump and his policies. But, as the 2024 election between the former president and then Vice President Kamala Harris wore on, I feared that even after victory and as exceptional and patriotic as I believed him to be, Trump might be outnumbered and overwhelmed by the massive censorship machine strong-armed into every facet of the country by the unethical left.
But then, candidate Trump did something truly remarkable. Very much like Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Benjamin Franklin back in 1776, he “revolutionized” himself in order to battle foes who themselves were constantly changing the “rules of combat” to suit themselves. Be those foes Harris, the Deep State, the “five megaphones,” or a seemingly compromised judiciary inventing one “lawfare” charge after another in an unethical effort to bring Trump down.
Knowing that Trump 3.0 “revolutionized” himself, his message, his campaign, his media strategy, and his fundraising. He continually – and cooly --- adapted to the ever-evolving strategies of his deeply intertwined opponents seeking to destroy him. A “revolutionary” mindset he brought back to the White House after his decisive victory last November.
A mindset Trump is now using to “revolutionize” the way we deal with waste, fraud, and abuse within our federal bureaucracy; to “revolutionize” the size of that bloated and massively inefficient bureaucracy; to “revolutionize” out of existence the far-left’s highly discriminatory DEI mandates which were forced into almost every segment of the public and private sector; to “revolutionize” the way we protect our sovereign borders; to “revolutionize” the way we deal with neighboring nations or overseas allies who have continually taken advantage of us and the generosity of the American taxpayer for years or decades; to “revolutionize” the way we deal with China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Venezuela, terrorists, cartels, or anyone else who intends to subvert or harm our nation; to “revolutionize” the way to undo the past mistakes or outright scams of previous administrations; to “revolutionize” our monetary system; to “revolutionize” the way he inspires citizens of multiple nations around the world to embrace the positive results of the “Trump Effect”; and most importantly, to “revolutionize” the way to deal with Zelensky, Putin, and China’s Xi Jinping in an effort to prevent the next world war.
To that last point, as President Trump himself has posted on Truth Social: “I've been elected by the American people to restore common sense to Washington and, indeed, to the world — Under our administration, we're forging a new path that promotes PEACE…”
And just what are a few of the most newsworthy results of this “commonsense Trump Revolution”:
DOGE has already uncovered trillions in fraud and saved U.S. taxpayers over one hundred billion on the way to over one trillion; Trump has already secured over $1 trillion in new investments; our borders are secure; our energy sector will soon be the envy of the world; our allies and adversaries respect us again; terrorists are on the run; and “America First” is actually putting Americans first for a change.
With all of that accomplished in but a few short weeks, what’s next from Trump? He’s about to revolutionize “The American Dream.” Your dream.
We are witnessing history in the making.
