Trump Takes

• Trump joined Elon Musk in Boca Chica, TX to watch the launch of SpaceX’s Starship.
• Key Trump appointees tapped for the incoming administration were targeted with “violent, un-American threats to their lives and those who live with them.” The targeted appointees include: John Ratcliffe, CIA Director; Pete Hegseth, Defense Secretary; Elise Stefanik, UN Ambassador; Brooke Rollins, Secretary of Agriculture; Lee Zeldin, EPA Administrator. And to think the Democrats fear-mongered by claiming Trump would end democracy!
• FB founder Mark Zuckerberg visited Trump at Mar-a-Lago. Zuckerberg, who confessed to election interference in 2020 to help the Democrats win, realized how wrong he was to break the law. He now wants to support Trump, in any way possible, to achieve the vision for America the president-elect has put forth.
• WSJ columnist and former speechwriter for President Reagan, Peggy Noonan, a Trump critic, has finally overcome her Trump Derangement Syndrome after meeting with the president-elect for the first time in her life.[1] She said she didn’t want to meet Trump in 2015. “And the reason was, I had a feeling that up close, he would be charming and funny and that there would be something endearing and that it would mess with my swing as an observer.” Years passed during which time Noonan and Trump exchanged barbs on Twitter and other outlets. Three weeks ago, she met him at a WSJ meeting. She says, “So anyway, at a certain point, the doors fly open and the entourage comes in and there’s Trump who in person and that blue suit and the tie, is huge, and the hair is huge and everything is huge. And he, like, blows by others. And he just says to me, ‘You are wonderful. You are the most remarkable woman’.” She then concludes by noting, “And then, he sat down with us and he was not to go off. I mean, he went on and off the record, but off the record, he was hilarious, rude, inappropriate, said things about foreign leaders that should not be said to a bunch of journalists. And I just sat back and thought by the end, honey, your intuition was right. If you’d met him in 2015, you would’ve loved him and not seen him.”
• Trump’s threat of a tariff on Mexico’s goods is already forcing the Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum to rethink her position on illegal migrants crossing the southern border. Just a few weeks ago, she spoke of a trade war with the U.S. Not anymore. She’ll likely help U.S. Border Patrol enforce the law and return illegals back to their home countries.
• And Canadian President Trudeau (Mr. Black-Face, a darling of the left-wing media) sat next to Trump at the latter’s Mar-a-Lago Thanksgiving dinner. Trudeau now gets it. Trump warned him of severe tariffs if he continues to let illegals cross the northern border. Wake up, Canada! Get rid of this disgusting scumbag once and for all.

Other Takes

• Chinese born cryptocurrency entrepreneur, Justin Sun, paid $6.2m for the taped-banana modern art depicted as the image for this edition of the Trump Tracker: it’s titled “Comedian” and is the work of artist Maurizio Cattelan. Sun recently invested $30m in Trump’s World Liberty Financial venture. In celebration, Sun did the right thing. He peeled off the tape and ate the banana in Hong Kong.

• Several mega donors for Kamala Harris are furious they’d been lied to by the Harris campaign. On the Pod Save America podcast, senior campaign adviser David Plouffe confessed that “the party’s internal polling never showed that the VP was ahead of Donald Trump in September and October. In fact, the internal polling showed her way behind.”[2] Ex-donor John Morgan and others have vowed never to donate to the Democrats ever again. To make matters worse, Harris’s campaign dissuaded her from appearing on Joe Rogan. Morgan took issue with that too. He said, “Barron Trump is ‘smarter’ than the Harris campaign for telling father to go on Joe Rogan.” Trump’s interview with Rogan has garnered more than 50m views on You Tube since it first aired.
• The Trump Dance is now the “in-thing” and is considered cool. Athletes across sports leagues are unabashedly performing the Trump dance.[3] Buckle up, America! The next four years are going to see a revival of common sense, sound, country-first American values.
