i’ve said this before and i remain convinced it’s true, the 2028 platform that would deliver obama 08 results is “i am gonna
bring the hammer down on the corrupt self-dealing politicians and their rich friends and there are no sacred cows id give a pass”

If I'd voted for this the aftermath would haunt me for the rest of my life.
I doubt the people who did vote for it have looked at the numbers even once, or experienced a second of empathy.

An American degree is our greatest export and universities and colleges are the backbone of flourishing cities and communities. This is like setting fire to silo after silo of grain, burning the fields, poisoning the ground. America is currently in a war to survive its own federal government.
In 2017, the US exported about $14B in 'education services' to China, with well over 300,000 Chinese students attending US universities.
In that same year, we exported $12.3B in soybeans.
Attendance by Chinese students is sharply down (-20% v. 2017) & that's going to worsen our trade deficit.

So many own goals.
Once again: higher ed is one of our most successful exports. We export more higher ed to China than soybeans. And yet Trump and the mini-Trumps are deliberately destroying the quality of our product

The theme of the midterm simply has to be putting Congress back in order. Everything follows from that.

Two $20 billion gut punches to American ag, already suffering under illegal tariffs. And not only do we have nothing to show for it, it's looking more and more like we're going to be bailing them out for the third or fourth time. This month.

Trump didn’t just take billions of taxpayer dollars and give it to Argentina with no legal process to help a politician he likes avoid losses in domestic elections and hook up a billionaire he knows who made a bad bet on Argentina.
He gave away billions of Americans’ money and it didn’t even work.

Trump bailed out Argentina with 40B dollars of US taxpayer money, so Argentina could sell their soybeans to China. Now Trump wants to buy Argentinian beef?!

Last weekend I put down my stump speech.
No one should be more focused on checks and balances than Congress. But no one is more eager to bend the knee than Congressional Republicans today.
Put Congress back to work.

A supporter reminded me the other day that Trump ran on the promise that he'd be his supporters' retribution. They were worried that if we take the same approach, we'll lose our soul. I think that's right.
