MAGA Ride by Jon McNaughton

Author’s note: The following account represents a fictional projection and tour of the post-globalist world. I took the liberty of painting a picture of the future that dramatizes one likely scenario, which is that Trump and the patriots had the solution the whole time but that WE, THE PEOPLE weren’t ready to accept it until Trump had prepared the way.

Trump fulfilled his promises, but not without plenty of gnashing of teeth. Images of Trump and the heroes who helped restore true freedom are gloriously displayed for all to see. Trump’s likeness can be seen next to famous patriots and regular Americans—both of which fought side by side to defeat the greatest enemy the world has ever known.

Below an iconic image of Trump, one that has come to symbolize all that he did for the world, is the phrase: “Without the true rule of law, there can be no freedom.” 

Trump uttered these words many times after taking office as the 47th President of the United States in 2024, the most iconic of which was his 2038 address to the newly formed global body for preserving unalienable rights in a post-NWO, post-globalist world.

Ironically, even though globalism was defeated, the world is more united than ever as truly sovereign nation-first countries—MAGAism, as they now say, swept over the world.

MAGAism is the idea that every individual has unalienable rights and their government is meant to foster the fair use of those rights, focusing on the family first, then the community, and finally the nation.

MAGAism, as the reformed media would report many times after Trump’s epic 2024 win, is the great dream of the founding fathers realized.

Today, in 2050, the government is small, and taxes and other inflationary policies that unfairly tax the people have been abolished. For the first time in modern history, personal and sovereign debt is gone—almost every nation on earth is on the path toward increasing wealth and prosperity. The bitter divisions that nearly caused WWIII were exposed as propaganda operations on the part of globalist actors.

In 2025, when the Federal Reserve in partnership with the globalist bankers collapsed the global economy, and it seemed like everything that was normal about life was going to slip into the all-consuming fires of globalist chaos, Trump said:

“The people who know, understand, and embrace the true rule of law can solve any problem. We don’t need the globalist bankers, with their endless debt, currency debasement, and financial warfare tactics—we can manage our own money supply, just like the founding fathers did. I refuse to sell the country that I love so much, the world I love so much, to the same snake bankers that got us into this mess in the first place!”

Trump’s words sparked within those who heard him a long-forgotten passion for financial independence—the same passion that led to the victories of the founders 250 years earlier.

Only a small handful of people knew what Trump was talking about. But within just a few days of Trump’s Sound Money initiative, trillions in bogus and fraudulent debts were canceled. The people were shocked to discover that the vast majority of the world’s debt was fraudulent. Everyone wanted their money back. But since the whole economy was a massive pyramid scheme, there was no way everyone could be made whole. Instead, Trump proposed a radical and ground-breaking solution: the new financial system that would end banker debt, usury, and inflation, had to start with a clean slate. A lot of people were very upset that they wouldn’t get what was coming to them. But Trump’s words again helped pave a way forward:

“We’ve all suffered. We’ve all been unfairly taxed, our retirements squandered, our savings rendered worthless, and our lives ruined by not having the money we needed when we needed it. But we can’t fight each other over pennies and fiat currency that were from a ridged system in the first place—the same system that was designed to divide us like a global game of financial musical chairs. Sound money is the only way forward, it means everyone gets a fair and fresh start, not just these sick globalists with their Great Reset.”

Unfortunately, there were scores of people who utterly refused to accept the truth, even after the deceivers they believed in switched sides. It was the recalcitrant holdovers that almost triggered WWIII. It didn’t matter how many times they heard the truth, were shown evidence, or were approached by their loved ones—they were unwilling to see reason. But it was also their irrational resistance that helped so many others crawl out from under the false narrative of their globalist controllers. 

Despite the holdovers, the world economy was rebooted under Trump’s Sound Money initiative. At first, people were untrusting and suspicious of everything. But by 2026, it became clear that the new system was unlike anything we’d seen before. Without mountains of unnecessary debt, the cost of living dropped significantly while free time increased and quality of life improved. Gone were the days of overpriced, low-quality products. Anyone who wanted to start a good business could; there were plenty of jobs to go around. Everything improved so much, so quickly, revivals, parties, parades, and gatherings became a regular feature of life. It felt like the whole world had woken from a collective nightmare.

When Trump left office in 2028, the world was irreversibly changed for the better.

Trump kept saying that we needed to have faith in each other, faith in God, and faith in the true rule of law. At first, in early 2024, we didn’t really grasp just how important these things were. But when everything started to crumble, we started to realize Trump was right all along. 

In an interview just before his death, in 2039 at the ripe old age of 93, Trump said:

“I get asked this a lot, by so many people. They want to know, how could I have done it? How could I have waited? Why didn’t I tell the world what I knew before everything went to hell?

Do you remember 2020? People thought COVID was bad. But in the spring of 2025, when those sick people who live in the DC swamp and on lake Geneva knew that there days were numbered, they tried to burn it all down—they tried to create as much chaos, death, and suffering as possible. They unleashed hyperinflation, they tried to trigger a civil war, a religious war, and set off nukes. They poisoned the oceans and salted the earth. They destroyed bridges, broke supply lines, and tried to take down the power and information grid.

No one thought they would stoop to such a low—at least no one who watches the fake news. A lot of patriots knew what was happening. No one thought that these freaks would try to kill everyone and everything. I mean talk about greed—to destroy for everyone what you can’t have yourself. Wow. But I knew. I knew why they did it. I knew who we were up against. And I knew why no one would have believed me if I said anything. I knew that people would never accept the truth while they were still attached to their old lives—still believing the fake news.

I was right.

Even after I exposed the DS actors who spied on my campaign. Even after they stole the 2020 election. Some patriots saw what was going on. And I was watching them. We knew it had to be this way. I was communicating with them without saying anything directly.

The amount of patience, faith, and courage it took to do what needed to be done—even when almost everyone thought I was crazy—was more than I could have imagined.

It took guts. And it took faith. I didn’t do it alone. I had God with me.”

Trump knew and Trump was right. 

In 2025, when hyperinflation devalued the dollar, people wanted to blame Trump since he was in office at the time. The Deep State tried to pin everything on him. His most staunch supporters turned on him—the RINOs the patriots suspected. But he kept saying, “It couldn’t be any other way.”

Trump was speaking to the fact that the globalist criminals had spent decades, centuries even, conditioning the masses to accept their place as cogs in the globalist machine. Trump knew that only by showing the world the truth would we be ready to accept what needed to be done. 

In another interview, Trump recalled a defining moment:

“I went to that Jesuit Training school, before my real estate training. Fordham University in New York City was a hell of a school back then. A teacher at the school said two things that really made an impression on me—it helped me understand why the founding fathers thought a God-centered nation was so critical to freedom and prosperity.

‘Don,’ My teacher said, ’true law and God’s will are one and the same. Man hasn’t learned to incorporate God’s law into his laws, his legal systems. Until he does, man will suffer; man will be enslaved by what he doesn’t know and doesn’t understand; and more importantly, man will be enslaved by those who do know the truth, but keep it for themselves for their own greedy ambitions.’

I wouldn’t fully understand what he meant until many years later, but I started to understand that day. I asked my teacher, I said, ‘Teacher, why does man refuse the truth?’ My teacher said, ‘You can’t fill a cup that’s already full, Don. Man’s cup is filled with the bread and circus from his godless masters. These liars and deceivers, who are long time inheritors of the world built by their iniquitous ancestors, have caused man to become drunk with delusions and lies. Man is beguiled. But as our faith teaches, evil always contains the seeds of its own destruction.’

What he said next I never forgot. How could I? He said, ‘Don, a time is coming when the evil of this world will be exposed. The people will be very confused when this happens, for it was by their deceived hands that so many suffered. But in this moment of darkness is your chance to help them, Don. It’s only at the precipice when people let go of their attachments to the old way to embrace a new path. You have a chance to help in that moment.’

Wow. What a thing to tell a young man. Well I found out that my teacher had a habit of telling all his students this. But I guess I was the only one who believed it.”

Trump’s insights had a global impact. But it wasn’t until the enemy was exposed and defeated that we’d truly understand what Trump meant.

Trump’s Rule

Illustration: Lazaro Gamio/Axios

It is my belief that Trump knows about the true rule of law and that one of the many things he has been doing is preparing the world to rediscover and embrace it.

If my contention is true, then understanding and mastering the rule of law might be the most important thing to do to accelerate the so-called Great Awakening.

The Rule of Law is the method or technique by which man seeks to rule using God’s Will—we try to run our civilization the way God would.

Imagine if God wrote a manual for how human beings should live on Earth. If Man followed this manual, he would create a perfecting society, one that keeps getting better and better for all involved as time goes on. The rule of law is that manual. When societies embrace the rule of law, as the American founders did, freedom and prosperity are the result. When the rule of law is eroded and eventually replaced with the color of law—a system that looks like justice but is, in fact, anti-justice—then freedom and prosperity break down in society.

How are God’s will and the Law one?

Trump’s fictional teacher of old placed so much importance on the idea for a reason.

If God is an infinite and eternal being, then God appears to be changeless from this side of heaven. Therefore, God’s Will should be unwavering, unbreakable, and similarly, changeless. When we look out into the universe, we see seemingly endless change guided by an unchanging set of universal laws—natural laws, and moral laws.

The following illustration helps us understand the relationship between the changeless infinite God and the ever-changing creation and creature.

In a wave, a node is the part that stays still. Notice the nodal points in the below animation; it’s the place where the wave is anchored to the center line.

The rule of law—if it is correctly defined through man’s effort to discover it—should be fairly constant.

For instance, the law applies to all equally and fairly is one of the principles of the rule of law. Whether it’s a king, a homeless person, a business mogul, a celebrity, a judge, or the pope himself, if the law was broken, then due process is used to determine if a potential suspect is guilty of the crime. The process remains the same no matter who the suspect is, or how well-connected or rich they are. If guilt is properly established, then the penalty for the crime suits the situation. Justice isn’t lax for the king and harsh for the political dissident. Both receive the resolution that is best for them, the victim, and society at large.

The goal, the point of justice, is to restore order and fair play in society once more.

If a player in a football game breaks a rule, the referee cries foul, and a judgment is rendered to even the playing field. The offending player is penalized along with the offending team to balance whatever gains were accrued from the unfair play. The offended team restrains the urge to get even, placing their faith in the system of fairness (justice) designed to keep things fair for all involved. Once the players and coaches feel justice has been done, they can get back to the game—hopefully without holding any grudges that would cause them to break the rules to get even with the opposing team.

True Justice serves the same function in a civilization—it keeps people from hurting each other to get even so that everyone can work together to produce the things everyone needs to survive and thrive.

Just like a sports game, if a man uses God’s perfectly fair and just rules, all the players in man’s games (citizens in society) feel like they are fairly treated, and therefore, want to play the game fairly. Conversely, when the rule of law isn’t used, we get an unfair society, and this causes players to lose faith in their society, motivating them to cheat to get what they need.

This last point is critical.

The globalists know all about this and they intentionally use a false, color-of-law system, knowing it will cause society to destabilize. It means there is no fair play, only cheaters can get ahead. A might-is-right society emerges from chaos—tyranny—where the weak are crushed under the feet of the strong, and fraud, deception, and coercion are the orders of the day.

Sound familiar?

We’ll dig more into the spiritual, cultural, and sociological weapons developed by the globalists in future posts.

The Rule of Law’s Case-By-Case Nature

The principles of God’s method are consistent, such as “love thy neighbor as you love yourself,” known as the golden rule.

In real life, applying these principles always, without fail, requires a case-by-case application. A rubber stamp process can’t be used because each person and each situation is different. Just as a doctor needs to tailor his treatment to the needs of the patient, so does justice need to be tailored for the situation at hand. If it isn’t, then the victim might become resentful and engage in criminality later. Conversely, if the punishment isn’t precise, and carefully tuned to assist the criminal in embracing redemption and real change, then resentment also sets in, causing the criminal to engage in more criminality.

True Justice has to do two things: It has to a) attempt to make whole or compensate victims for the harm they suffer and b) it has to motivate and support the perpetrator to seek redemption. It’s meant to mimic the process God uses to redeem the souls of his spiritually confused and darkened children, which similarly applies the corrective methods of a loving father to tend to the needs of his child.

For instance, a troubled 15-year-old boy, in one instance, might respond well to a boot camp-style intervention. In another instance, the same treatment might cause another boy to feel abandoned, resentful, and embrace more bad behavior.

Principles, if they are true, tend to be unchanging and universal, while the application of those same principles produces unique results in each case, and speaks to the signature of the way the divine infinite God affects the finite creation. In human life, the same holds true. Blind application of principled ideas, which we normally call ideologies, often results in tyrannical governments and totalitarian cultures.

Universal Laws

Let’s take some time to examine and start the process of understanding the different types of law and how they work.

From our perspective as creatures, it seems like everything’s in a state of change. The sun rises and falls. The seasons change over the course of the year. But within this seemingly endless precession of change are fixed points of changelessness. 

In the world of science, a law is a theory that explains what we observe in reality. The scientist attempts to discover and understand the laws of nature, also known as natural law.

If an apple falls to the ground, we can explain it using the gravimetric equation F = G(m1m2/r^2), which tells us the force of the apple depending on the distance between it and the earth. Similarly, if we want to measure the force between two charges, we use the expression F = K(q1q2/r^2), known as Coulomb’s law. 

Physics laws help us understand and predict how things in material reality work. Scientists assume the laws work the same everywhere. While the strength of gravity might change if you were to stand on the Moon or Mars, or the surface of the Sun, the law itself—the way reality works—wouldn’t change. 

Thus, in the material world, we have natural laws. These laws govern material things, in such a reliable way, our modern age of technology couldn’t exist if they were to change even just a bit (i.e. the fine-tuning of the universe.)

Atheistic scientists invented the theory of multiple universes—the multiverse—to explain what they refused to consider, even remotely. And that thing is that the universe seems to have been made for a purpose, for a reason, and intelligent life is a part of that purpose.

An atheist might argue that the laws of the physical universe, such as gravity, electromagnetism, and so on, are inherent. They are built into the universe and therefore we don’t need to explain them beyond that. A simulation theory believer might argue that the laws of the universe are part of the computer code that makes up the simulation we call reality. While these explanations provide an answer, they are not very good ones. These answers don’t tell us where these laws come from or why they are so universally consistent. But it’s in this why question that the God of all creation is lurking. 

Ask a theist these questions, and he has an answer: God’s Will. The laws of the universe, so-called natural laws, are God’s eternal and changeless Will. Law is God’s Will. 

The next logical question to ask, then, is what does God’s Will have to say with respect to human civilizations?

Order and the Law

From my last feature, Trump Knows: 

“For civilizations, the laws of social realities are at play. The laws of contracts, agreements, trust, duty, stewardship, and so on are the pillars upon which all social groups operate. Nothing can escape them.”

How does a contract have anything to do with the law, God’s Will, human civilization, and the true rule of law?

Recall what the law does—it brings order. 

“The legal system is created by man to bring order and stability to man’s world, which is human civilization.

Look at this plate vibrating with sand on it:

Each particle of sand is a person that is around other people—other sand particles.

When there is no vibration, at the beginning of the video (0:30), the sand particles are in a state of disorder; they don’t work together to form any coherent or orderly shape. But when a vibration is applied, all the sand moves in harmony to form orderly shapes on the plate. 

The analogy here is that law brings order to the things that are subjected to the laws. The vibration brings order to everything that is affected by it, just as law brings order to the natural world and brings order to man’s world, when man allows himself to be governed by law.”

With this in mind, let’s look at Genesis 1:1-3:

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.”

God, in the biblical creation story, brought order to the chaos of the formless creation. Similarly, if you were to take a bag of sand and throw it on a vibrating plate, the vibration brings order. 

Human beings possess free will, which is a branch off the vine of God’s Will. But unlike God, Man is not infinitely wise. Man can and does make mistakes, a lot of them. Man can even do what God wouldn’t do. But God only does what God would do, what God Wills.

God’s will doesn’t stop with the natural world; it extends to the human world. God gave man laws to govern himself just as he gave laws to the natural world to govern gravity, chemistry, and the like. 

Human beings possess a mind that can reason. Animals cannot think about what the consequences of leaping forward might be, but a human mind can. And in the thinking about leaping, the human mind learns much and can avoid pitfalls through reason and logic. Man, like God, can predict the future.

Man’s ability to better navigate time, to recall the past with detail, to see beyond his material vision with the insight of reason, and to forecast the future by analyzing the present grant Man the ability to form agreements and contracts. 

In effect, a contract is a special link between man’s will and God’s Will. 

Here’s how. 

God provided a covenant to Man according to religious doctrine. A covenant is a type of contract, an agreement. 

Contracts of all types have certain features that help us identify when a contract is at work. For instance, the only way to transfer property from one person to another is through a contract. Whether it’s a vow taken by a party to a contract or a father giving his son a tool to use on the job site that day, a contract is the way it’s done. The person who has the property grants it to another, transferring the right of use in the process.

If I give you my car, by handing you the keys, saying, ‘bring it back the way you found it, please.’ When you accept the keys, you’ve just accepted the terms of a contract. All contracts have terms and conditions, although some choose to waive their right to set terms and conditions. My request to ‘bring it back the way you found it,’ is the term and condition in the car example. If you violate my term and condition, then you as a party to the contract are in a state of dishonor, a rule has been broken. 

Did you notice any similarities between law and contracts? God’s Will for man and the universe is a term and condition of a contract. Man can create rules just as God creates rules. Man is a supernatural being, infused with some of God’s awesome powers of creation. However, Man’s powers are limited to Man’s world, at least insofar as creating rules. 

Man forms agreements with other men, setting the terms and conditions for those agreements. If Man sets good rules, then good results spring forth. If Man sets bad rules, then bad results become manifest. 

The agreements, contracts, and trusts Man forms create the world Man lives in, the world of business, economies, cities, nations, and kingdoms. 

A king sets the rules in his kingdom, which is a monarchy. If the king is wise, he humbles himself before the source of his power. If the king is foolish and greedy, he’ll change the rules of his kingdom to suit his greedy ambitions. When a society is governed by a tyrant king—a monarch that changes the rules to suit his needs and to unfairly advantage some citizens over others—we’d rightly say that the society is corrupt. We could say that society doesn’t have the rule of law, because they must be “clear, publicized, stable, and applied evenly.”

A wise king mimics God’s way in his own kingdom. This wise king creates laws that apply equally to everyone, where no one is above justice and no one is unfairly prosecuted, where a coin of the realm buys the same goods no matter where or who is transacting, where your status financially or socially has no bearing on how the law treats you, where all people enjoy the same level of protection of their unalienable God-given rights. In this kingdom of freedom, the king is not some greedy, self-absorbed, God-hating spoiled brat. The king is actually the most humble and God-seeking, a man who pledges to serve his people as a steward for their rights. 

In other words, a wise king follows God’s Will, he does what God would do if he were ruling in the affairs of men. 

This, my friends, is what the true rule of law is all about. 

Trump, Wise King and Patient Steward

Trump’s rule is as we’ve seen it. Trump, unlike his competition in the DC swamp, truly cares about the people. When Trump is confronted with a choice to enrich himself or advance the freedoms and security of the nation, he does the latter—he fights for the country and the people, not his own ambitions. 

Trump could have done what so many did before him, enriching himself as just another wealthy politician. Trump knows that the world we live in is a carefully maintained system that is designed to favor the elite at the cost of the people. He could have taken the easy road. He could have accepted the offer no one could refuse. In doing so, Trump would have maintained the status quo, avoiding changes to the establishment, for which, he would have been handsomely rewarded.

Instead, Trump destroyed his reputation, lost millions in assets and perhaps billions in lost deals, and continues to fight for the people by exposing and changing the system. Trump has even done what the people never could have asked him to do—meaning, the people in their unaware state didn’t know what to do to solve the core problems. But Trump knows. Trump, like a wise King, like a loving father, tries to do what is best, what God would do, even if the people in their ignorance don’t know any better. 

Trump’s rule is God’s Rule, God’s Will. Trump knows that the true rule of law is God’s way and that it is the only real path forward in all cases. 

In the coming years, I suspect we will see the themes presented in these writings more boldly declared by Trump and his allies. The challenges ahead are not small. We have a lot of work to do. But the reward for our effort will be a world of true freedom and prosperity.
