Donald J. Trump is now officially a former president. History will show that his stewardship of America was seminal for many reasons. The paradigm shift that began its consolidation in 2016, for which Trump deserves great credit, was a 21st reaffirmation of the values and beliefs of American exceptionalism. This national renaissance was a de facto repudiation of an internationalist (or globalist) worldview that took hold among democracies following World War II and was later accentuated after the collapse of the Soviet Union. The economy was the most important aspect, setting aside foundational ideological and anthropological tenets that surrendered culture to savvy intellectual social engineers of a Marxist persuasion. Liberals and conservatives of the Old Right alike eventually became enjoined by socialists for strategical purposes in the world market stage, despite having unequal ethical credentials.
There is a morality to every political course. Trump followed a path aligned with America’s innate idiosyncratic principles that precede the American Revolution and are best understood in the Declaration of Independence and the fundamental route which followed and made the United States the freest and prosperous country in the world. Individual accountability, love of country, respect for the law and order, belief in a superior transcendental order, embrace of a free enterprise system, and the understanding that freedom is the most cherished natural right, were the moral guidelines behind the Trump agenda.
Here is what the empirical evidence tells us.

One of the biggest misnomers in popular culture is the notion of “democratic socialism”. It does not exist. The lie socialist politicians like Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (AOC), and America’s left have been promoting is a fabricated myth. It is a clever ploy intended to deceive.
“Democratic” socialism
The use of the adjective “democratic” serves to camouflage socialism’s abysmal moral, political, and economic failures. American socialism is wholly Marxist based. In fact, it inherently rejects welfare-state, social democratic schemes. It sees those alternatives as copouts. The new Biden administration, shepherded by todays increasingly left-wing Democratic Party, will retake the hardcore “long march through the institutions” Obama began.
Highlighting a mythological variant of the “Nordic model” (Denmark, Norway, Finland, Sweden), an oscillating fusion of a welfare-state structure with varying degrees of social democratic purports, America’s socialist movement is on another playing field. In his address at Havard’s Kennedy School in 2015, former Danish Prime Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen clarified difference between the “Nordic model” and socialism. “I know that some people in the U. S. associate the Nordic model with some sort of socialism”, he said.

In 1933, the Reichstag building which housed the German parliament was set on fire. The Nazis had barely been in power for four months, yet this incident served as the door to totalitarian consolidation. To this date, no one knows for sure who carried out this destructive act. The National Socialists, however, convinced President Hindenburg that the communists were responsible. With a few broad legal maneuvers, first came the Reichstag Fire Decree, then the Enabling Acts, and German democracy had signed its suicide pact. Something similar is taking shape in America right now.
The forceful entry into the Capitol Building on January 6th by a tiny fraction of a much larger group of peaceful protesters appears to have presented a pretext for the left to attempt to crush the opposition. This is being carried out by Democratic Party with the full complicity of the anti-Trump Republican faction, media, Big Tech, and big business. In addition to the gross suppression of free speech, blacklisting, and financial strangulation, impeachment charges have been levied against President Donald Trump.
Furthermore, the six senators and 121 House members who were acting within their constitutional rights and challenging electoral college votes, are under savage attack. The narrative that accommodates this brazen power grab is the ridiculous notion that this was an “insurrection” and a “coup attempt”. The false “coup” claim includes the constitutional prerogative by congressional leaders of challenging the validity of the electoral college votes.

Freedom, democracy, and justice received good news on Monday January 11th when the U. S. State Department redesignated the Castro regime as a State Sponsor of Terrorism (“SST”) and included it on its list.
This move by the Trump Administration places Cuban Communism in a category it should have never left in 2015. Among the failures of the Obama Administration’s foreign policy pursuits was its senseless rapprochement with a dictatorship whose conduct precisely gave rise to the original classification, and which has never changed. The much-criticized move by Obama was a precondition set by the Castro regime to achieve a warming of relations that the Democrat president sought.
The SST designation is authorized and required under section 6(j) of the Export Administration Act, section 40 of the Arms Export Control Act, and section 620A of the Foreign AssistanceAct. The State Department is legislatively mandated to maintain the list which began in 1979 and to constantly update it when circumstances warrant it. The criteria for the infamous inclusion on this list is to be a supporter, on a continual basis, of international terrorism. Communist Cuba was included on the list in 1982 where it joined Libya, Iraq, South Yemen, and Syria.
