Good News Spreads Like Wildfire

Yesterday, FLEP wrote a home run of an article about small biz versus multinationals and the American economy, but the article got lost in all the Q posts and news of the day.
I didn’t see Flep’s article until late, last night. The news was so good, so overwhelming, I was blown away. AND, the statistics FLEP included served to prove our President was correct about the economy. In fact, he was correct about all economies, even those of the snide silly nations like Canada and Germany, whose citizens are our friends and buddies, but whose leaders we despise.
As Treepers, we forget we’re at the mid-stage of having our eyes opened to the manipulations of our politicians. The very vast majority of our friends and relatives are new to the game. Things we already know and take for granted (The US Chamber of Commerce agenda) are completely foreign and perplexing to our Dem friends and new-to-the-game patriots.
So, I stole Flep’s post. Yes, I made a comment indicating I was stealing and beg Flep’s forgiveness but FLEP’s news was too good not to share. I carved it up into bite-sized chunks, sometimes a sentence or two and a source, about 10 different posts, and spread it across social media to different groups where I admin. And guess what happened?
As of this morning, it’s been about 12 hours since my thievery, and we’re approaching 10K notifications and over 1800 shares of the different posts. See there, we really are the news….., and the people are starving for real news. By cutting up FLEP’s big article, we were able to hammer home the idea of economy (over all) and the winning strategy of our POTUS. FLEP, I could hug you, bigly, along with 10K other people!
From the comments I received in replies, it occurred to me, everything we’ve learned over the past 4-5 years was unknown to many. Thus, I composed this final long post (below), to explain to many, what and who we are really fighting.
Here it is:
Fundamentally important we all understand the difference between a multinational and a company which does business primarily in the USA.
The difference between the two, and their power struggle for control over our economy, is the reason President Trump has a hard time getting his agenda passed by Dems and GOPe.
Multinationals do majority of biz outside the USA. They like to export our American jobs, overseas, for greater profit and shareholder value. The US Chamber of Commerce represents 151 such companies. The Koch Brothers, one of the biggest Repub donors for the past 25yrs, are also a multinational.
Their agenda is based on their own interests.
1. Amnesty and more H1B visas = cheaper workers and lower wages for American workers
2. Bad trade deals and more of them = cheap manufacture overseas and easy access to the USA market
3. Obamacare/Universal Health Care = less operating costs for American employees
4. Common Core = no idea why they are so focused and push Common Core.
These companies lobby our politicians and contribute to campaigns who support their efforts —- until one day, we woke up and found America was gutted of our manufacturing base. Presidents like Reagan and Trump were/are not “globalists”, which is one of the reasons they both met/meet with such opposition in Congress.
Understand, there is no difference between Dem and Repub – except in the way they propose to fix the problem. Both sides are lobbied by the same people and accept money from the same donors. Dems voters who are sick of “the Swamp” believe the answer is socialism or a variant therein. Recall their heroes like Warren or Bernie railing against the mega-corps or “Occupy Wall Street”. They believe it will take government to punish the companies for the benefit of the workers — with Warren and Bernie + friends, in charge.
Repubs who are sick of the Swamp, and Libertarians, elect people like Reagan and Trump. They want less government, REAL free trade, and companies and policies which place American interests first. And Repubs or Libertarians would never trust a bureaucrat to be in charge of anything.
This is why our immigration policy has never been fixed. It’s why Repubs voted to remove Obamacare dozens of times — but McCain, the globalist, voted to keep it. It’s WHY Wall Street and the pundits have railed against President Trump trying to redo our trade deals, and yes, it’s the reason our schools are in such a mess. GOPe interests align with the goals of Dems for more voters and more power to the teacher unions and greater control over our children, our jobs, and our lives.
To resist President Trump’s agenda, a multinational company cannot be honest. They cannot come out and advertise to the American people, “Hey, we want to continue our lucrative business which depends on bad policy – screwing over America” = not a good PR look.
Thus, the same companies adopt social issues of the left to attack the President and weaken his poll numbers and popularity.
For instance, Levi Strauss has not manufactured in the USA since 2004-2005. They are now a globalist company and have the mindset which is not particularly loyal to the USA. The CEO of Levi has donated a million dollars of Levi money to an anti-gun campaign. Why? The CEO is obviously well protected and it’s safe to assume gun rights are not the MOST important interest of Levi Strauss. Yet, attacking a Repub President on a social issue is easier than a commercial for Levi which begs for no tariffs for their Chinese and Brazilian factories.
See what I mean?
Same with Nike. Does anyone really think Nike corporate heads lay awake at night worried that Kaepernick is not playing in the NFL? They don’t give a damn about Kapernick. Yet, Kaepernick is useful to attack the President and push his poll numbers down. It would be difficult for Nike Executives to admit – we really want to do all our manufacturing in China and still import at zero cost — and we’re really sorry we moved manufacturing out of Memphis, at a cost of about 8K jobs.
Same with Disney. Disney gives millions of dollars to open border/amnesty groups, at the same time Disney retrains foreign workers to replace Americans.
Can you see it now?
Because once you see it, you cannot unsee it.
Could it be possible this was the reason for the Trump Tax cuts? Yes, the majority of the tax cuts went to individual Americans, but corps got a major tax break as well. Was it part of the grand bargain = lower corp taxes and bring the jobs back to the USA?
But the corps want to keep the lower taxes AND continue policy which hurts workers…..
…… reminds me of the Ryan/McConnell promise to fund the border wall after the midterms.
And yes, our President has to do a delicate dance with the Dems and GOPe. In order to get anything passed, the President still needs the required votes from politicians who are loyal to their donors first. It’s why President Trump has had to go to an Emergency declaration on the Border Wall – and why some GOPe Repubs are resisting him. Does Ann Coulter really believe President Trump doesn’t want a border wall? After TWO government shutdowns on the issue + an Emergency Declaration? Really?
But something funny happened along the way during the war for competing interests. Small business began hiring. Small business does not usually hire H1B visa foreigners. Because of the paperwork involved, they don’t have access to these workers. Small business primarily employs Americans…….. first!
And small business hiring is the best it’s been in 45 years of recorded history according to the report from NFIB: https://www.nfib.com/…/small-business-job-creation-breaks-…/
Companies with an American focus, are winning, bigly, while the globalist based nations with unicorn mascots are on the brink of recession and stagnation. Multinationals are taking a dive but America is the workhorse, and America is winning.
Just look at these numbers, President Trump is refocusing the economy…. of the world, for the benefit of America. President Trump is trying to stop the bleeding of our wealth, create better policies, which, if adopted by other countries, would help THEIR economies as well.
—-Companies with big global exposure could face a double-digit Q1 earnings decline
—-Companies with more than half of their sales generated overseas are expected to see an earnings decline of 11.2 percent in the first quarter of 2019, according to FactSet.
—-“The U.S. economy seems stable, but an international slowdown eventually could spill over to the U.S.,” says Scott Wren, Wells Fargo’s senior global equity strategist.
—-Wall Street is projecting a 3.4 percent earnings loss for the S&P 500, while seeing 1 percent growth for companies with more than half of their sales coming from the U.S.
!!!!!!!!!!! ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ !!!!!!!!!! THiS!
Here’s the report from CNBC which PROVES our President is winning and slowly turning our economy around to be USA focused. We’re getting our money and jobs back, and payback is hell. We’re also proving to the citizens of the world that our policies, President Trump’s policies, are better.

Read this paragraph from the report and now, with your eyes open, LOOK at who is talking. It’s the best.
“Things are worrisome across the globe. The Bank of Canada said Wednesday there was “increased uncertainty ” around future rate hikes, while Australia’s fourth-quarter GDP expanded at a pace of just 0.2 percent. Amid the ongoing trade negotiations, China set its economic growth target for 2019 between 6 percent and 6.5 percent, its slowest pace since 1990.”
Do you have any idea how BAD the Canadian economy is right now? It stinks. Thank you, to Trudeau, and your stupid over regulation and green utopian policies.
Australia, same thing.
Germany and France are in the gutter along with their GDP rate. Ask the people in the yellow vests, THEY KNOW.
….and lookie here, China’s economy is slowing amid trade negotiations with the USA.
From the Chinese foreign minister yesterday when asked about US/China Trade Talks = “We’re trying to get to zero tariffs.”
What?
Zero tariffs between the two countries?
You mean, REAL free trade, as opposed to the farce of the NeoCon/Globalists/CATO Institute definition of free trade?
You mean……, exactly what President Trump has been saying for about 30 years?
Color me shocked.
Imagine that. Their policies have failed and President Trump was right……………….. again.
You feel better now?
And here’s a word to the wise. If you believe in President Trump and that he will be successful, take a look at the Russell 2000 = Majority American Companies.
MAGA on!!!!!!!! We’re two years into a major turn-around and it’s working!
