On September 24, 2019 in the U.N. General Assembly: the seedbed of globalism, President Trump gave a major address charting a prosperous future for countries the world over, which is one built on the empowerment of citizens and respect for national sovereignty.
Standing in the spotlight of attention from the Corporations Once Known as the Mainstream Media and staring down the glares from the New World Order fanatics our President zeroed in on the basic problems that have been seeping out of the UN and festering around the world for generations. He didn’t equivocate. He didn’t pull any punches, stating boldly, “Globalism exerted a religious pull over past leaders, causing them to ignore their own national interests.”
Under the Bush-Clinton-Obama CABAL, before the miracle in November that gave us President Trump, our leaders like many others around the world, spent the bulk of their time and energy catering to the opinions of fellow global elites. Lost in the shuffle of this groupthink, in-crowd popularity contest were the interests of the hard-working, over-taxed, and under-appreciated people who built this country and keep it going.
Our jobs were outsourced as the globalist insiders and their cronies became richer while everyone else’s incomes stagnated or declined. They thought they had the skids greased as they shoved us into their New Normal. They didn’t think anything stood in their way least of all that forgotten man, the American voter.
Then after only three years of President Trump working tirelessly to Make America Great Again we became the world’s example of the success a country can experience when it starts focusing on the good of its own people instead of the social engineering of the statists and the bottom-line of the multi-national corporations.
After briefly re-counting the previous record of managed decline our president pointed to his agenda of pro-growth, pro-worker policies such as historic tax cuts, deregulation, and trade reform. Driving home the evidence of the power of these reforms President Trump said, “Wages are rising. Incomes are soaring. And 2.5 million Americans have been lifted out of poverty in less than 3 years.”
Throughout his speech, the president urged the assembles leaders to apply similar approaches to the problems in their own countries. All of President Trump’s ideas have one thing in common: They put the interests of American people first. He spent his moment on the world stage to urge other leaders to abandon the failed attempt to forge a one-world UN dominated dystopian machine and instead let the invisible hand of enlightened self-interest create a better future for everyone.
America’s blue-collar billionaire believes that building a better future starts at home not in the collective hearts of multi-national tribunals and organizations. This is an easy to understand message President Trump has sought to encourage his fellow world leaders to embrace ever since his stunning victory in 2016. He insists if others would follow the American blueprint: Putting their own citizens first instead of catering to the rich and famous while standing up for their own sovereignty prosperity will follow.
As the president outlined in his speech this agenda includes:
- Fighting unfair trade: Old trade deals that outsourced our jobs are being thrown out, replaced by fair ones—such as the NAFTA-revamping USMCA—that give our workers a level playing field.
- Protecting individual freedoms: America is leading the way in promoting liberty as a human rights issue throughout the world, including championing the economic role of women in our societies.
- Shutting down dangerous open-border advocates: Unprecedented action is being taken to stop illegal immigration and put an end to human smuggling once and for all.
- Holding Iran accountable: President Trump called on fellow world leaders to join America in standing up to Iran, the world’s number one state sponsor of terrorism.
- Promoting a free Western Hemisphere: America stands with the people of Venezuela, and the events taking place there should remind everyone that socialism ultimately leads to poverty and authoritarianism.
Hitting the nail on the head and summing up the beliefs and aspirations of millions President Trump said, “The future does not belong to globalists the future belongs to patriots. The future belongs to sovereign and independent nations who protect their citizens, respect their neighbors, and honor the differences that make each country special and unique.”

For decades the globalists have been leading us down the primrose path towards their fantasy of a new world order run by them and their fellow progressive central planners at the UN. Their four horseman of the American apocalypse; George the First, Billary, George the Second, and BHO never saw a multinational surrender of sovereignty they didn’t like. From NAFTA to TPP from the WTO to the T-TIP they have sought every opportunity to enroll us as just one more state in their fever dream of a super state with them in control.
Currently the United States has free trade agreements in force with 20 countries. These are:
- Australia
- Bahrain
- Canada
- Chile
- Colombia
- Costa Rica
- Dominican Republic
- El Salvador
- Guatemala
- Honduras
- Israel
- Jordan
- Korea
- Mexico
- Morocco
- Nicaragua
- Oman
- Panama
- Peru
- Singapore
The interesting thing about most of these agreements is that while we allow goods from these countries to enter our nation duty-free and compete with our own manufacturers our partners do not. They have various mechanisms to make sure our goods cannot compete in their markets. They add tariffs by any other name top our goods as the arrive and give subsidies to their goods as they leave.
This anything but level playing field that our leaders have subjected us to is economically the equivalent of playing Russian roulette with a semi-automatic pistol. It may be exciting but there isn’t any way to win.
Not only have we surrendered our ability to add tariffs to protect our markets against foreign disruption and the eventual destruction of our industrial base we have witnessed. It also deprives the federal government of a source of revenue which was once enough to run the whole affair without an income tax. It is not only these two negatives which point out the bad side of this bad deal. Our globalist leaders have also signed agreements that make American enterprises and individuals subject to the edicts of the bewildering array of organizations and boards which make up the strands designed to hold the American Gulliver down.
Finally in President Donald Trump we have a leader who wants to put America first! Finally we have a leader who is not dedicated to managing our decline but instead dedicated to our renewal. We have chosen a leader not to lead us gentle into that good night. Today we no longer must look at the sun setting upon us. Today we can see a new sun rise, a new morning in America. Instead of a leader who apologizes for our History we have a leader who proudly proclaims we will make America great again.
Case in Point:
According to the Financial Times, President Donald Trump’s administration is preparing to ignore any rulings by the World Trade Organization that it sees as an affront to U.S. sovereignty.
According to the Times the report says, “Ever since the United States won its independence, it has been a basic principle of our country that American citizens are subject only to laws and regulations made by the U.S. government — not rulings made by foreign governments or international bodies.” The report continued, “Accordingly, the Trump administration will aggressively defend American sovereignty over matters of trade policy.”
The Wall Street Journal also reviewed the document. They stated that the policy represents a dramatic departure from the Obama administration, which emphasized international economic rules and the authority of the WTO, a body that regulates trade and resolves disputes among its members. The report also states that the Trump Administration will use, “all possible sources of leverage to encourage other countries to open up their markets.”
This is akin to a Second Declaration of Independence. No more will we continue to surrender our sovereignty, the sovereignty our ancestors, our brothers and our sisters have bled and died to establish and protect be diluted in the committees of nameless faceless bureaucrats where America has no more voice than El Salvador.
Strike up the band! Wave the flags. A campaign became a movement. A movement became a revolution. And this revolution is determined to make America great again!
