Mark Caserta: Donald Trump: The Presidential Art of the Deal

4 Aug

Democrats are collapsing beneath the weight of Trump’s wins!

Most politicians “over promise and under deliver” during their campaigns and into their role.   They’re totally comfortable doing so, as it seems to be enough to get many of them elected. Their “model” if you will, is to grab the attention of the voter and subsequently hope that the success rate of their promised accomplishments will not be tracked. 

Some campaigners use a “smoke and mirrors” strategy, aiming to exceed expectations by consistently under-promising and over-delivering. Unfortunately, this positions the elected official to be able to maintain the status quo without ever having to put forth any real effort to improve their skills in representation. 

President Donald Trump has an altogether different approach.  This skilled negotiating businessman chooses to make his promises based on common sense and the reality of the moment, then he is committed to exceeding everyone’s expectations!  This inevitably forces him to “up his game” to over deliver on attainable promises, which he does time and again.  As a builder, he was always on time with his project and under budget! 

This attitude is what makes President Trump unique, both as an individual and as a commander-in-chief. 

I just started my third time reading his book, “Trump: The Art of the Deal”.  Donald Trump doesn’t drink, he doesn’t smoke, and he certainly doesn’t take drugs.  In fact, he hates to take medicines altogether!   

President Trump gets his kicks by making deals, and the bigger and more difficult the deal, the better!  As the leader of the free world, he is now using those skills he has mastered and employed since he was 27 years old, on behalf of the American people. 

Democrats cannot keep up with him. By the time mount a defensive posture on an issue, President Trump is already three deals ahead of them.  The absolute only position liberals can take is an “anti-everything” Trump, which has given them the lowest approval rating in history. 

Let’s face it.  Democrats will do or say anything to see Donald Trump fail.  Frankly, as seen in recent headlines, it doesn’t matter if it means loss of life or damage to our nation!   

Liberal politicians are being exposed by their offenses.  Our nation was in a downhill spiral during the Biden presidency, and they were completely fine with it!   Control and power are their master motivator!  Democrats have totally abandoned the ideology of our Republic. 

I’m taken back each time I hear a political pundit refer to Democrats as the “Democratic Party”.  Democracy left Democrats years ago!  The term “Democratic” is an adjective describing this group of lost socialists.  They are simply the Democrat Party! 

In this columnist’s opinion, we are blessed as a nation to have a president committed to exceeding our nation’s expectations!  He is bringing our nation back to common sense and back to God.   

I expect, given his success, Democrats are going to be miserable for a very long time. 

And that’s a good thing for our nation which is, once again, winning!

Mark Caserta: Here’s what really happened with the Trump, Vance, Zelensky spat.

Witness the art of the deal

Here is what really happened on Friday with the Trump, Vance spat with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Under no circumstances would a VP sitting next to the most powerful man in the world, be empowered to derail a $500 Billion deal in front of the world, without prior discussion with President Trump – period.

President Trump knew that Zelensky wanted to get a commitment from the U.S. for ongoing security following the deal of a ceasefire from prior conversations. He also knew that Zelensky was going to mandate that request as part of the rare earth deal in front of the media.

President Trump is a deal maker. He does deals, and he is the very best. Right now his job is to make deals for America.

President Trump wants Europe to own the security of Ukraine. It’s in their back yard and best jnterest.

He doesn’t want America to be the “world police”, especially an ocean away!

The president’s rare earth mineral deal is designed to reimburse the U.S. for our financial support as well as establish a visible partnership with Ukraine for the world to see – one which will benefit the U.S. for years to come.

He will not agree to commit US security support for Ukraine, for years to come, as part of the deal, hence the negotiation tactic employed on Friday.

So, in front of the world, as as part of a tactic to negotiate peace, Zelensky was put on his heels and any perceived negotiating power revoked. His own people and other nations are now pressuring him to make peace with President Trump.

It was agreed that when the opportunity presented itself, the Trump/Vance team would kick in!

Of course, President Trump will make him sweat a while to soften him even further. He knows the right time to reengage.

And now, our president is back in the driver’s seat. He will achieve an end to the war. He will complete the rare earth deal. And Europe will pick up securing Ukraine in the future.

All this will happen very soon.

Additionally, Russia and the world will think twice about trying to outmaneuver our president.

Leadership makes the difference

Mark Caserta: The Purge has begun! President Trump moves quickly to return to common sense and America first policies.

5 Feb

And liberal Democrats are losing their ever-loving minds

February, 2025

The “purge” has begun.

Early in Donald J. Trump’s campaign he made it clear that Washington, D.C. was indeed a decaying “swamp” filled with nefarious creatures slithering about seeking whom they may devour.

President Trump’s first term in 2016 surprised, angered and even frightened liberal Democrats.  And frankly they’ve never recovered and still suffer from aggravated Trump Derangement Syndrome.

 While his initial tenure in the White House was inundated with learning curves, his impact as a leader was enough to convince the left, he had to be stopped – at all costs – even if it meant destroying America.

The end-result, following a scarred 2020 presidential re-election bid for President Trump, asked us to believe sleepy Joe Biden garnered 81 million votes from his basement, while never venturing into the public view or answering even softball questions from his loving liberal media.

 In fact, “weekend at Bernie’s” Joe received more votes than any president in history, to include his former boss, Barack Hussein Obama.

President Trump, on the other hand, all the while earning over 74 million votes, 12 million more than in 2016, lost in the extremely controversial (some say rigged) election.

The subsequent four years of Biden/Harris will go down in history as the single, largest failing liberal experiment in our nation’s history.  The trail of devastation as a result of inept policies, prompted voters in every single state to move to the right and vote for a true leader capable of saving our nation and its inhabitants from demise – before it was too late.

Liberal Democrats, true to form and perhaps looking into their progressive crystal ball, kept the attacks alive on Donald Trump.  They attacked him personally and professionally.  They conjured up delusional spells of denigration and libel and rallied liberal legal loons to perpetuate lawsuits and illegalities against the president and even his family.  Democrats and a complicit Biden/Harris administration did everything in their villainous playbook to prevent Trump from ever setting foot on the political stage again. 

Donald J. Trump returning to the White House would be their worst nightmare!

They leveraged and weaponized every form of government to take down Donald J. Trump, hoping to break him and return him to his very comfortable lifestyle, out of politics and out of their hair. 

But the perseverance of Trump and his family was nothing short of amazing.  He stood his ground and when exhausted, leaned on principle.

But ultimately, when the ground is trembling and the lava is pouring down the side of the volcano, it’s impossible to tell the people to stay calm, “there’s nothing to see here.”  But that’s all they could do!

Everything, I mean everything was failing – miserably.  There deepest attacks seemed to result in more support for Trump!

It’s true, typically people don’t react until it impacts them directly.  But thanks to “Bidenomics” and lamentable leadership, every U.S. citizen was feeling the impact of liberal, woke policies lacking common sense and serving everyone but Americans.

Then, Democrat’s worst nightmare became a reality!

In the largest, single political comeback in our nation’s history, Donald Trump was returned to the White House in resounding fashion!  Eager to hit the ground running on the behalf of all Americans, he had his cabinet primed and picked to move rapidly and efficiently.  Patriots agree it’s beginning as one of the most lucrative, successful presidencies of all time, with no holds barred in keeping with Trump’s mantra of “America first”.

It was time for a major change.  And Americans voted for just that!  They sent a clear mandate to Washington that they’d had enough.  Donald J. Trump had overwhelmingly won 76 million popular votes, 312 Electoral College votes, all 7 swing states and an increased number of Democrat votes in every single state in the union.

The mission and directive were clear.  The people of our republic were demanding change and empowering a new leader, a true leader to take charge and make America great again.

So, just 2 weeks into the swearing in of President Trump as the 47th President of the United States, the purge of the Washington swamp has begun, with a vengeance.  And despite the whining and complaining from the left, there are no surprises here.  Trump is doing exactly, EVERYTHING, he said he would do.

This time around, there is no time needed for a learning curve.  Impact is immediate and decisive!

And he’s doing it so fast, by the time Democrats rally to have a news conference to denounce his actions, President Trump has completed three more deals for the American people. 

Liberals are losing their minds over Trump winning for America. How truly sad and telling is that?

Get ready, America!  This is just the beginning.  This administration is not going to slow down.  Internationally, our allies will trust us.  Our enemies will fear us.  American’s will once again be proud of their country and our leadership.  Politicians will be forced into representing their constituents and living up to their promises.

It’s a new day and a new age. If liberals choose to remain oblivious to the wishes of the people, they are going to be sad for a very, very long time.

Welcome to the Golden Age of America.

Mark Caserta: January 20, 2025 marks the “modern” Independence Day for the USA.

20 Jan
The 45th and 47th President of the United States of America, Donald J Trump.

January 20, 2025 will be known as our nation’s modern Independence Day.

President Trump referred to it as “Liberation Day”. Name aside, it’s an historic day for our nation!

In response to the question following the Constitutional Convention, Ben Franklin responded to the question as to whether we now have a republic or a monarchy.
“A republic, if you can keep it”, was his response.

Do not sit back a get comfortable, now that we have true leadership. “We the people” must work to keep our republic by staying informed and engaged.

This isn’t the end of progressivism. It’s the beginning of a potential return to Christian values.

Mark Caserta: Joe Biden attempts to rewrite the history books on his foreign policy achievements.

14 Jan

Not to mention how he is handing Donald Trump a nation better off than when he took office

Recently, President Joe Biden took to the podium in an attempt to “recap” his foreign policy achievements for the nation.

I want to caution everyone of a tactic departing politicians often leverage in which they fill out their own “political scorecard” for the liberal media to banty about and use as historical fact moving forward.  Most of the time the actual truth lies somewhere between the bookends of the “true/false” spectrum.

But Joe Biden is absolutely delusional in his characterization of his accomplishments as the 46th president of the United States.

Biden sought to frame his presidency as a transformational one, claiming he was handing off a nation better positioned to compete in a new era to President-elect Trump, than the one he inherited from Trump four years ago.

“New challenges will certainly emerge in the months and years ahead, but even so, it’s clear my administration is leaving the next administration with a very strong hand to play, and we’re leaving them and America more friends, stronger alliances. These adversaries are weaker and under pressure. An America that once again is leading, uniting countries, setting the agenda, bringing others together behind our plans and missions,” Biden said in remarks at the State Department.

 “The United States is winning the worldwide competition compared to four years ago. America is stronger. Our alliances are stronger, our adversaries and competitors are weaker.”

Mr. President, frankly, I’ve never heard such intellectually, dishonest rhetoric in all of my years following politics.

I pen this particular column primarily to benchmark the status of our country in several areas.  Anyone paying attention and willing to be objectively analytical must agree Joe Biden is “absolutely NOT” leaving the United States in better condition than when he took office.

Joe Biden spent the first half of his presidency enacting plans to steer at least $1.6 trillion to transform the economy and spur a clean-energy revolution which is failing miserably and costing taxpayers money during a time is isn’t easily accessible.

Utility bills have never been higher.  Electricity costs have risen 25% under the Biden administration per the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics which tracks the average cost of electricity across U.S. cities every month.

Gasoline prices during the Biden administration have risen well over 50% at the pumps.  When Biden took office in January 2021, gas prices were an average of $2.4 per gallon across the country. Even though they’ve come down a bit, the average price per the graph below from Forbes.com is around $3.47 per gallon.

The New York Times, a publication which is certainly no friend to Donald Trump, reports that compared with four years ago, grocery prices are up about 20%, which is devastating families everywhere.

A recent Department of Homeland Security stats factsheet reporting on border encounters since 2021 shows an historic nationwide border collapse allowing 11 million illegal migrants to enter our country with hundreds of thousands of unaccompanied alien children unaccounted for and at risk.

Finally, but far from comprehensively, the United States has never received less respect from our enemies or our allies, militarily.

Recently, two top U.S. generals who oversaw the evacuation from Afghanistan testified before lawmakers that the Biden administration was chaotic in it’s approach and planning for the evacuation.  Thirteen U.S. service members were killed by a suicide bomber at the Kabul airport in the final days of the war by the Taliban due to a lack of support. 

For Joe Biden not to acknowledge many errors during this poorly planned evacuation and to continue to applaud his decision-making is a slap in the face to Gold Star families and our troops everywhere.

That’s not leadership.  In fact, it highlights the dark cloud of ignorance and apathy that has enveloped the Biden administration since 2021.

So, don’t forget where we are and where we truly were prior to the Biden administration. And don’t allow the liberal media to change history when reflecting on the failed presidency that is preparing to exit the White House.

It, truly, can’t happen soon enough.
