Voters Expecting America-First Policies Sorely Disappointed

By the Staff of AFP

This newspaper cannot disagree with those who insist President Donald Trump is failing the American people. On a host of issues, the president is violating the campaign promises that got him elected. If he doesn’t alter course soon, his administration will be hamstrung before he completes his first full year in office.

Think back to AFP’s first issue of 2026 in which we opined on the front page, “The mandate the American people have given the GOP is simple: Put America first or pay a heavy price at the polls in 2026.”

And what has happened in that short amount of time? Popular conservative comedian Dave Smith summed it up, stating on his weekly talk show that the Trump administration has been taken over by “reckless stupid war hawks.”

One of them is Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.). He and Trump agree that more death, violence, and destruction in the Middle East is a good thing. Trump even welcomed Chicken Hawk First Class Graham onto Air Force One recently to salute the growing unrest in Iran. Not to be outdone, Trump then threatened that the U.S. military would “hit Iran hard” in the coming days: “We are locked and loaded and ready to go.”

But why is Trump involving America in the internal affairs of Iran in the first place? Steve Bannon has it right. On his popular podcast “War Room,” the conservative commentator blasted the South Carolina senator:

What a sick individual. We don’t care about making Iran great again. The Persians will make it great again themselves. Outside interven­tion would only prolong the problem.

Trump is also dragging the country into a regime change war in Venezuela.

At a cost of tens of billions of dollars, the U.S. miliary has been patrolling the Caribbean, boarding and confiscating oil tankers—all illegally, according to many legal experts.

U.S. drone attacks against the crews of alleged drug boats coming from Venezuela continue without solid evidence being presented to the American public.

We’ve heard the long list of justifications for these actions from the administration, but none of them warrant the many risks and consequences.

The correct America-first policy would be to negotiate trade and oil deals with Venezuela, just as Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro proposed back in October, not to sow more chaos in our own backyard.

Then there are the immigration raids. A majority of the public—even a portion of his loyal base—is souring on the heavyhanded tactics Trump’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents are employing. Polls are showing that even “Forever Trumpers” think such raids smack of a police state, not a free republic.

The fact is, Americans are repulsed by images of heavily armed, masked federal agents in military fatigues pulling people out of their cars and homes—some American citizens—demanding ID and proof of citizenship in clear violation of the Fourth and Fifth Amendments. It’s just a bit too “1984-ish” for many to stomach.

On Jan. 14, conservative commentator Emily Jashinky blasted the Trump administration, saying, “Two things can be true. I vehemently oppose people obstructing ICE. I also vehemently oppose ICE encroaching on American civil liberties.”

What happens next is up to the president. He can salvage his presidency by keeping the America-first promises  that got him elected, or he can continue down the path of a tin pot, banana republic dictator.

  1. THE TRUTH ABOUT TRUMP:

    Trump in the 1980’s :

    “If I were to run, I’d run as a republican(…). They are the dumbest group of voters. I could lie and they’d still eat it up. I bet my numbers would be terrific.”

    Trump is and has always been a New York democrat-globalist, now posing as a conservative, a nationalist, a patriot and a “populist” for an obvious reason:

    To discredit patriotism, conservatism, populism, nationalism, basically to discredit and dirty every traditional or patriotic idea. To destroy the MAGA movement he pretends to represent.

    This is why his masters selected him in 2024 as opposed to the rigged elections that took place in 2020.

    Wokism, LGBT, gender theories are insanity, immigration is killing the West, wars are destroying the world and the West, globalism is killing freedom and destroying our economies, the man made climate change narrative is an hoax and CO2 or people are not causing any changes in climate.

    Decent people, normally brain-wired people which are the majority understand these common sense evidences but the “elites” behind these agenda want them to believe fallacies, to confuse them, to replace them , to turn them against each others, to rob them, to enslave them or even kill them, so they created these fallacies so that people would willingly accept the unacceptable destruction of all the good things and the foundations sustaining their very lives.

    As people were revolting against the nonsense the oligarchy tried to force on them, they had the idea to use one of them, Donald Trump.
    Trump, an actor, a narcissistic psychopath and a systemic liar was tasked with creating a fake opposition movement, to ridicule and discredit all normal ideas like freedom, family, national pride, objective science, peace, tradition.

    Today, as we can see, he has succeeded in making sure that removing illegal aliens from your land has become reviled thanks to his masked thugs in uniform murdering in cold blood harmless US citizen on TV.
    He has made sure that nobody will vote again republican following the genocide perpetrated by his regime in Gaza and the wars, regime changes in Lebanon, Syria, Somalia, Nigeria, Venezuela, Palestine, Yemen and Iran.
    He makes sure to lose the next elections, as planned by his puppet masters, as nobody will ever want another complete lunatic who menaces to annex Canada, Greenland, to put tariffs on foes and friends alike, creates a BS “board” ruled by himself to transform Gaza into some kind of min Las Vegas built on mass murder and ethnic cleansing, a ridiculous sociopath thinks he is accountable only to himself and dares to demand a Nobel price for all his crimes against humanity.
    He makes sure that real patriots, real conservatives, real freedom lovers, real nationalists will be the targets for elimination of the next totalitarian regime in power (most likely led by WEF infiltrated agent Gavin Newsom)

    Trump has been the biggest ally of the globalists he pretends to fight and this is not news.
    We saw how in 2020, when the oligarchy launched the fake “pandemic” Trump led the bandwagon and imposed tyranny on US citizens, to brag afterwards about how he was the initiator of the deadly fake “vaccine” he forced on them.

    Do his supporters and other people now realize that left/right is just a con, democrats/republicans or any other party supported by the oligarchy are just a big swindle to keep them divvied so they don’t fight the oligarchy and their stooges?.

    Even Charlie Kirk woke-up, this is why they killed him.

    Are you awake yet?

  2. Once you realize that you live in Jewocracy, masquerading as a ‘democracy’, where both main parties (R/D) are funded/directed by the same consolidated clique of Jewish billionaires, then it all makes sense.
