Patriots in the High Trumpian Castle

the enemy is laying snares....

There’s a certain kind of person who always shows up late to the fight, screaming about purity and principles just as we’re finally winning. These people obsess over donor lists, foreign policy optics, or whatever else they can scrape together to justify their cowardice. They claim to care about America First, but every time momentum shifts our way, they try to steer it off a cliff. This isn’t a mistake—it’s sabotage. And it’s time we stop falling for it.

You’ve heard their objections. “Trump took money from billionaires.” “The Israel lobby has too much sway.” “Zelensky’s on TV too much.” None of it matters, and I’m going to explain why. These aren't real critiques—they're panic from people who fear the direction things are headed. But the reality is simple: power is shifting. The discourse is changing. And we’re not going to throw away our shot because a few nervous wrecks got cold feet. Let’s clear this up.

(This is what you look like when you don’t agree with me. Basically, I’ll stop performing selfobject functions for you).

Personnel Are Not Policy

One of the most persistent lies in modern right-wing discourse is the fantasy that “personnel is policy.” No. Personnel is personnel. Policy is policy. If that sounds too blunt for you, you’re not ready for power.

This cope comes up every time Trump names someone to a position that isn’t a carbon copy of whoever’s trending on X that week. “Oh no, he appointed so-and-so! Doesn’t he know she wrote a bad op-ed once?” These people think we’re still living in the Reagan Library. News flash: we’re in a live-fire zone. The president sets the tone, the mission, the outcomes — and everyone under him is either a tool or an obstacle. If they’re a tool, use them. If they’re an obstacle, break them. That’s it.

Trump already showed us what matters. In 2016 he surrounded himself with snakes, spies, and saboteurs — and still changed the trajectory of the world. Now, with a purified base and no more illusions, he’ll do it again. But this time, he’s not playing nice. The people who cry about bad hires are the same ones who would have rejected every general, every businessman, every outsider who helped Trump win the first time around. They think you need a blood test to qualify for loyalty. I don’t care if someone used to be a Democrat — Trump was a Democrat. What matters is: are they useful now?

If a person can get the job done, good. If they get in the way, they’re gone. That’s how power works. That’s how Trump works. And it’s how we should think too. Stop pretending that staffing is a referendum on morality. Stop acting like we’re building a church. We’re building a war machine. We’re not looking for apostles — we’re looking for killers who will follow orders.

You don’t have to like the people Trump appoints. You don’t have to pretend they’re your friends. You just have to understand one thing: Trump is the policy. Everyone else is disposable. Which brings to a brief digression (I apologize).

Zelensky for National Security Advisor

Zelensky should be Trump’s National Security Advisor. I’m not joking. People think it’s clever to call him a clown, a puppet, a joke — but they’re missing the point. Zelensky isn’t a clown. He’s a wartime leader who served the regime perfectly. He mobilized his population, consolidated power, censored the press, outlawed opposition parties, crushed dissent, and got everything he wanted from the West. He had no real leverage and no real allies, yet he turned Ukraine into the centerpiece of global liberal foreign policy for years. And what did he get in return? Tens of billions of dollars and a personal cult that reached every corner of the civilized world. That’s not a joke. That’s power.

Now imagine what a man like that could do for us.

The Right has a long, embarrassing habit of rewarding weakness and rejecting strength. Zelensky knows how to operate. He’s disciplined, he’s effective, and most importantly, he wins for the people he serves. We don’t need someone who agrees with us on every podcast-tier cultural talking point. We need someone who knows how to wield the machine and isn’t afraid to make people uncomfortable doing it. Trump fights for the soul of the nation — Zelensky knows how to shut the door behind him once the fight is won.

You want to save America? Stop crying about what people used to be. Start recruiting the people who know how to win. Zelensky already proved he’s willing to do whatever it takes for the people he serves. All we need to do is make sure he’s serving the right ones.

Oligarch Donors? Who Cares?

Let’s cut the nonsense. The “Trump’s donors are oligarchs” talking point is nothing but a distraction for the weak-minded. I’m not here to moralize over where Trump gets his campaign cash. This isn’t a kindergarten for do-gooders; it’s the real world. If you’re crying about donors, then you’ve missed the point of America First — entirely.

Trump is in this to win. Period. The people who are seriously worried about who is writing checks for him are the same ones who would have stabbed him in the back in 2016 if they had their way. They would have thrown him under the bus at the slightest hint of a scandal. Let’s get something straight: money talks. Always has, always will. If it takes a handful of oligarchs to bankroll the 2024 comeback, so be it. The enemy is coming for us — the left, the corporate media, the globalist cabals — and you’re going to tell me we shouldn’t use every tool at our disposal because a couple of billionaires are footing the bill? Get real.

The real fight here isn’t about who is funding the war; it’s about who controls the outcome. And if Trump needs to take cash from oligarchs to fight back against the liberal establishment, then I say “fine.” The ends justify the means, and the means are simple: Trump must win. If Trump needs a few powerful elites to keep the gears of the machine moving, who cares? When he wins, we get to dictate the terms. Not the oligarchs.

Oligarchs? They might have their hands in the pockets of a thousand causes, but you know what? Trump can do more with their money than any of these other establishment hacks ever could. Every dollar they give him is a weapon to break down the walls of the Deep State. They’re not pulling his strings — Trump’s using them as a tool, just like he always has. He’s always played the game. You’re not in charge of how he wins — just that he does.

And let’s not forget: the real power lies with the people, not these donors. The donors don’t control Trump, but Trump controls the base. And the base is the only thing that matters. Every day, we see more and more people waking up to the fact that the political game in America is rigged, but Trump is still the only one who can make the establishment shake in its boots. Who funds him is secondary to the fact that his movement is unstoppable — because it’s rooted in what’s best for America, not what’s best for the elites.

This isn’t about playing nice or pretending the oligarchs are the good guys. It’s about getting our country back. The oligarchs, the elites, they might have their own agendas. But when Trump gets into office, those agendas won’t matter. He doesn’t need their permission to do what’s right for America. And in the end, they’ll bend to his will — not the other way around.

So stop worrying about who’s writing the checks and start focusing on the fact that Trump is the only one who can stand in the way of the globalist machine.

“Muh Israel Lobby”

If you’re still clutching your pearls over the fact that Trump has received big donations from the likes of Miriam Adelson or Bill Ackman, then you’ve missed the entire point of what America First stands for. This isn’t about who is cutting the checks — it’s about the results of the check. And the reality is, Trump has always been a transactional player. He takes the money, and when he’s in office, he uses it to further the interests of America — not the donors.

First of all, let’s clear up the obvious: The America First agenda is about America first. Period. If a few billionaires, who may happen to have ties to foreign governments or interests, want to help fund Trump’s campaign to keep America safe and strong, then who cares? This isn’t a purity contest. Trump is the one in charge, not the donors. Just like every other player in Washington, he knows how to leverage the system to his advantage, not theirs. And that’s the genius of it.

Miriam Adelson and Bill Ackman — both of whom have made large contributions to Trump — are no different from any other political donors. They’re trying to push their agenda, yes. But Trump’s agenda is bigger. We all know that Trump isn’t someone who lets anyone pull his strings. His success has always been about playing the game better than anyone else, and the Israel Lobby is no different. If they want to give money to ensure a stronger relationship with Israel, fine. Trump is the one who gets to decide the terms of that relationship — and trust me, when Trump calls the shots, it’s always about putting America's interests at the forefront.

Now, I can already hear the critiques — “But these donors have an agenda! They want to control Trump!” Listen, if you believe that, you don’t understand Trump. The man is no one's puppet. He doesn’t owe these donors anything more than a transaction — they give him money, he uses it to push America First. When it comes down to it, Trump’s foreign policy is shaped by America’s interests, not the interests of his donors. And we saw that when he was president: aggressive trade wars with China, cutting unnecessary foreign aid, and ensuring that American jobs came first. His policies didn’t suddenly shift because of these donors — they shifted because he was in charge, making the decisions that benefited America.

And let’s be real for a second: most of the elites who complain about Trump’s donors are the same people who want to see America capitulate to foreign interests, who would happily sell this country out to China or the EU if it meant maintaining their comfortable positions. Trump? He’s the only one standing between America and that future. If a few oligarchs from the Israel Lobby want to throw money at his campaign, they’re doing it to secure their own interests — but Trump is the one who’ll be steering the ship when it comes to making deals. Don’t be naive enough to think he’s going to let anyone run the show.

In the end, a true America First patriot isn’t worried about where the money comes from. The concern is what happens when Trump gets into office. We’ve seen it: when Trump is in control, America comes first every time. No foreign donor, lobbyist, or oligarch gets to change that. This is about results, and the results are clear: Trump is the only one who can keep America on top, no matter who writes the checks.

So drop the whining about who’s funding Trump and focus on what he can do for America. That’s what really matters.

Abandon All Illusions Ye Who Enter Here

The moment we’re in now isn’t about some pie-in-the-sky, cookie-cutter policy proposals. It’s about shifting the discourse. It’s about changing the conversation and making it our conversation. You can pass all the laws you want, make all the promises you want, but if the ideological foundation isn’t rooted in America First nationalism, it’s all meaningless. It’s the fight for the narrative, the battle for what’s acceptable to say and what’s not, that defines this moment. This is where the real power lies. The rest—the so-called "policy outcomes"—are secondary, distractions that can be molded and adapted once the culture of resistance to globalism has taken root.

Trump isn’t just a president, he’s a symbol of a seismic shift in how we talk about this country, what it means to be American, and what we should expect from the government. The deeper transformation is in the minds of the people—that’s what we need to focus on. Policies, proposals, and grandiose speeches are just the tools. The real fight is about dominating the national dialogue, about making sure that any future talk around the table begins with “America First.” Only once we’ve redefined what’s acceptable to even consider can we start worrying about the nitty-gritty policy details. This is the foundation, and it’s the most important thing right now. If we don’t win here, we lose it all, no matter what laws we pass.
