Much of what Trump says is completely on purpose. It was not by accident that he said "Shoot it down" the other day. Neither was it accidental that he called DeSantis desanctimonious. He has a reason for everything he does. I feel confident based on what I have learned that he also has a plan to bring us back to the Gold backed Dollar and eradicate our debt to the central bank. How this plays out, I don't know, but I can SPECULATE right along with ya based on all of the data points I have uncovered!!

Notice how the media is attacking Trump now. "He's too old." "Time for some new blood." "Most attendees at his events can't wait to leave." "Look at those empty seats !" "His children have pleaded with him not to run." And on and on. Remember the art of war. Appearing weak when you are at your Strongest !! That is what is happening now.

Thank you. I’ve been saying that speculation, all types, should welcome and encouraged. Hypothesis is the first step in what we call the scientific method and that’s just a synonym for speculation. You cannot think for yourself or analyze anything without it.

The people who discourage speculation are trying to control the narrative. They tell us to wait to be told.

If it helps, Trump and I both lived in Howard Beach at the same time. He saved the skating rink in Central Park that I used to skate in. He saved my life when dubya decided to stop sending planes to get us after Desert Storm but we were still there. Trump sent his private jet. So he and I do know each other a bit. I've moved away from politicians because frankly he was the only one I could stomach.

Nicely done and timely.

There is definitely a creeping (galloping?) black-pilling process going on in some parts of MAGA and I applaud your needed reminder.

What an excellent article! We know the systems aligned against us as infiltration is clearly defined by propaganda and the actions and results that follow (smart advice on the 48 hr rule). We also know why we are referred to as sheep in so many venues as you pointed out in your reference to what ‘the majority’ influence. Those who blindly follow trust at their own risk, as those who resist also risk; but what in life has no risk? It’s the human condition that has been both beneficial and detrimental. I completely agree with what you’ve stated regarding Trump and what likely (and increasingly more obvious) is happening behind the scenes. How do we know there are actions behind the scenes? Too many actions that cannot be explained, such as a highly placed military leader NOT following the commander in chief’s orders. Many of us spend considerable time researching and reading between the lines, but never in known human history have we had access to the level of information as this very time. Speculation might be risk, but a lack of speculation ensures failure; something no parent or patriot can allow. God has gifted, prepared and placed each individual exactly where necessary for this time. Speculation is one of the keys to success in the end and we can always count on people who will never blindly follow the majority. I suspect we are many more than our ‘betters’ would like. God bless you.🙏

Hope a weakness, speculation wrong, both of those are what the left is hoping for, but no. As to Trump keeping his mouth closed, yeah sometimes I wish so too, but the guy is led by his ego and that's what egotists (narcissists although he's done so many selfless things anonymously including saving my and many other Marines lives) I don't know if that assessment is correct. DJT didn't start the runaway inflation, on paper it doesn't look like it, but it can be attributed to Nixon. No gold to back it up kind of thing. As usual terrific.

But I speculate that mere word doesn't fit the depth.

Nevertheless.

I really enjoy reading your articles. This one sums up how I feel and helps keep me optimistic something might be happening behind the scenes. Even my Republican friends are turning on Trump and I just wish I can be around to see my faith in him vindicated.

I agree. I think without speculating you just end up being a good little sheep that ends up getting slaughtered.

You make an interesting point -- many people view the perceived majority opinion as conclusive data. Some of us know the opposite is often true, and that groupthink may actually indicate the lack of conclusive data, or worse, a preponderance of lies. In either case, we are facing a dearth of data and must speculate our way through the darkness.

Great article! Every thing President Trump says and does is strategic. He has never lied to us. I speculate he is a shadow president and will return with a vengeance….and that is why I’m hopeful for a better country and world.
