BIGLY SHOWDOWN: The First Test Of President Trump’s Deal Making Ability On The Line Today

President Trump, the author of “The Art of the Deal,” has been projecting his usual bravado in public this week about the prospects of repealing the Affordable Care Act. Privately he is grappling with rare bouts of self-doubt.

EDITOR’S NOTE: If President Trump’s healthcare bill gets voted down today, it is not the end predicted by the Liberal Left and the Fake News Media. But make no mistake about it, a lot is on the line for our new president, please pray today that the Lord’s will is done in today’s vote.

President Trump has told four people close to him that he regrets going along with Speaker Paul D. Ryan’s plan to push a health care overhaul before unveiling a tax cut proposal more politically palatable to Republicans.

He said ruefully this week that he should have done tax reform first when it became clear that the quick-hit health care victory he had hoped for was not going to materialize on Thursday, the seventh anniversary of the act’s passage, when the legislation was scheduled for a vote.

Two of his most influential advisers — Stephen K. Bannon, his chief strategist, and Gary D. Cohn, the National Economic Council director, who had a major role in pushing the bill — came to agree, and did not like the compromise that was emerging. So on Thursday night, Mr. Trump delivered an ultimatum.

LIVE: Repeal And Replace Obamacare Healthcare Law Vote – President Trump Expected To Speak

He dispatched his budget adviser, Mick Mulvaney, to a conference of House Republicans and told them they had to vote on Friday. And if the bill fails, he said, Mr. Trump will move on.

A president who prefers unilateral executive action and takes intense pride in his ability to cut deals finds himself in a humbling negotiation unlike any other in his career, pinned between moderates who believe the health care measure is too harsh, and a larger group of fiscal conservatives adept at using their leverage to scuttle big deals cut by other Republican leaders.

Over the years, Mr. Trump has proved to be a resilient operator, and even his most scathing critics do not rule out his ability to pull off some kind of a deal, even at a late hour.

“I don’t know whether he will ultimately succeed or fail, but I will tell you that President Trump is so transactional, who knows what transactions he will be willing to make to pass this,” said Representative Nancy Pelosi, the Democratic leader, who passed the Affordable Care Act in 2010 as speaker.

“So far he’s acting like a rookie. It’s really been amateur hour,” she added. “He seems to think that a charm offensive or a threat will work — that saying ‘I can do this for you’ or ‘I can do this against you’ will work. That’s not the way it works. You have to build real consensus, and you have to gain a real knowledge of the policy — and the president hasn’t done either of those things.”

Crashing on the shoals of Congress marks Mr. Trump’s first true encounter with legislative realities and the realization that a president’s power is less limitless than it appears, particularly in the face of an intransigent voting bloc. Mr. Trump is not used to a hard no — but that was the word of the week.

Before he sent Mr. Mulvaney to Capitol Hill to deliver his message Thursday night, the president met with recalcitrant lawmakers at the White House. Mr. Trump reiterated his veiled threat that Republicans who voted no would be punished by constituents who demand they fulfill their promises to roll back the law. He made clear to members of the House Freedom Caucus during a testy hourlong face-off in the Cabinet Room that they were going to have only one chance to fulfill their vows of repealing and replacing the health law, and this was it, according to people who were in the room.

If Mr. Trump has any advantage in the negotiations, it is his ideological flexibility: He is more interested in a win, or avoiding a loss, than any of the arcane policy specifics of the complicated measure, according to a dozen aides and allies interviewed over the past week who described his mood as impatient and jittery. Already, he has shown that flexibility by going back on campaign promises that no one would lose coverage when the Affordable Care Act was replaced and he would not cut Medicaid.

To Mr. Trump and his team, the health care repeal is a troublesome stepchild. His son-in-law and senior adviser, Jared Kushner, who is vacationing with his family in Aspen this week, has said for days that the bill was a mistake to support. Yet Mr. Trump wants to fulfill his party’s pledge to roll back President Obama’s signature accomplishment, but only as a prelude to building his wall, cutting taxes and pushing his $1 trillion infrastructure package.

But resistance from his own party forced Mr. Ryan to delay the vote — even if he cast it as a take-it-or-leave-it deal.

Until this week, Mr. Trump was slow to recognize the high stakes of the fight, or the implications of losing. He approved the agenda putting health care first late last year, almost in passing, in meetings with Mr. Ryan, Vice President Mike Pence and Reince Priebus, the White House chief of staff.

Staff members agreed on a hasty rollout strategy during weekend meetings earlier this month — with Mr. Pence suggesting that the president maintain distance from the proposal, urging him to refer to the bill as Mr. Ryan’s creation, according to senior Republicans.

Only in the past two weeks, as Mr. Trump focused on his continuing defense of accusations that his presidential campaign colluded with Russia, has he focused his energies and powers of persuasion on ramming through a proposal that is likely to result in the loss of health insurance for millions, according to Congressional Budget Office estimates.

On Wednesday, Mr. Trump made a key concession to fiscal hawks by agreeing to scrap the health care law’s provision mandating “essential benefits” — like outpatient visits, mental health services and some maternity care — in a bid to lower premiums. But that was not enough. Representative Mark Meadows, the North Carolina Republican who leads the Freedom Caucus, said he was still a no.

That concession also risked alienating center-right Republicans in the House and Senate, where the bill already faced an uncertain fate.

“In order to get this bill out of the House, they have pushed this bill too far to the right,” said Representative Charlie Dent, a moderate Pennsylvania Republican who planned to vote against the legislation, and who was singled out for pressure by Mr. Trump at a meeting on Thursday. “It’s a mistake. Even if it passes, the Senate will never accept it.”

David Winston, a pollster who works with the House Republican leadership, said any delay could block Mr. Trump’s entire agenda. “You’re not looking at health care in isolation; you’re looking at an agenda that they want to pursue, and obviously the next big one coming up is going to be tax reform,” he said. “Whichever came first was going to set up the other.”

But Thursday’s reality check came with a Trumpian dose of the surreal.

Mr. Trump appeared almost oblivious to the dire situation unfolding in the hours after he hosted a meeting with members of the House Freedom Caucus at the White House, where he made the case Mr. Winston pointed to — that not passing the health bill risks the rest of the Republican agenda.

In the midafternoon, a beaming Mr. Trump climbed into the rig of a black tractor-trailer, which had been driven to the White House for an event with trucking industry executives, honking the horn and posing for a series of tough-guy photos — one with his fists held aloft, another staring straight ahead, hands gripping the large wheel, his face compressed into an excited scream.

At a meeting inside shortly afterward, Mr. Trump announced that he was pressed for time and needed to go make calls for more votes.

A reporter informed him that the vote had already been called off. source

Trump Sweeps While Biden Sleeps As Super Tuesday Reveals The Coming Rematch That Nobody Wants In Upcoming Presidential Election Insanity

Donald Trump has huge Super Tuesday wins this week as sleepy Joe Biden is giving the Democrats November nightmares, what will happen next?

Donald Trump easily won all contests on Super Tuesday except one, relegating Nikki Haley to footnote status as she prepares to drop out of a race she never had a shot of winning. Over on the American Samoa, Joe Biden lost to someone no one has ever heard of before, and will likely never hear from again. On paper, Donald Trump should easily defeat Joe Biden in November, too bad elections are not decided on paper like they used to be. Will we have Trump’s second term, Obama’s fourth term, or something no one expects to happen in 2025? That’s the question.

Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.” Psalm 55:22 (KJB)

The Democrats eager to prevent another Donald Trump victory in November, conspired together to bring 91 federal counts against him in 4 states, and in doing so elevated him to martyr status almost immediately. Not very bright. If they really wanted to stop him, they all should have conspired to never mention him, thereby cutting off the flow of millions of dollars in free advertising by keeping him in the headlines. There’s only 8 months until the November election, and there are so many things that will be popping up between now and then. Not the least of which are the solar eclipse of April 8th, and the ‘Civil War’ movie on April 12th. Lastly, Donald Trump had another huge win when the Supreme Court voted 9-0 in favor of preventing states from kicking him off the ballot. If Democrats find they have no other option to ‘stop Trump’, will they implement the final solution? That’s the memo.

Democrats ready to hit panic button in Trump-Biden race

FROM THE HILL: Democrats are beginning to hit the panic button as an implosion in former President Trump’s campaign fails to materialize and a series of polls suggests President Biden is weaker than he was four years ago. Biden is trailing Trump in polls of several battleground states, underscoring concerns that his message isn’t gaining traction with swing voters.

Many Democrats thought Trump’s legal problems would submarine him, but the Supreme Court in a unanimous decision on Monday ruled in his favor on a 14th Amendment case. Other high-profile trials have been delayed, raising doubts about whether they will reach verdicts before Election Day. Steve Jarding, a Democratic strategist and former adviser to the Senate Democrats’ campaign arm, said Democratic lawmakers “should” be worried about the emerging political picture.

“If you’re Donald Trump and his team, you go, ‘Wow, I’ll take this any day of the week,’” he said, comparing Trump’s relatively strong political position with Biden’s faltering effort to get his message out to voters. A Bloomberg News/Morning Consult poll published last week showed Biden trailing Trump in several critical states, including Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, North Carolina, Nevada and Wisconsin.

In those states, 48 percent of voters said they would back Trump, while 43 percent said they would back Biden.

Democrats heard another alarm bell over the weekend when a New York Times/Siena College poll showed Trump leading Biden 48 percent to 43 percent among registered voters nationwide. The survey showed a majority of voters think the economy is in poor shape, and 47 percent of voters strongly disapprove of Biden’s job performance, the highest such disapproval rating of any point in his presidency measured by Times/Siena polling.

Sen. Peter Welch (D-Vt.) said the latest poll numbers are concerning, and he decried a separate decision by the Supreme Court to postpone ruling on Trump’s legal immunity claims to the summer as “outrageous.”

“We’re concerned. This is going to be a tough race, but it hasn’t really begun yet, so a lot of the coverage is just about Biden’s age, not about his policies,” he said. “The president is going to get out on the stump and he’s going to have an opportunity to show he’s got the energy as well as the intellect and the acuity to do the job.”

Welch acknowledged that “in retrospect” it was a mistake for Biden to pass up doing an interview with CBS news ahead of the Super Bowl, which would have allowed him to reach a huge national audience.

“In retrospect, it would have been good to do the Super Bowl interview, throw a few deep passes into the end zone,” he said.

On the economy, Welch said the economic indicators are “solid” but people are “feeling some anxiety” about making ends meet when they pay the grocery bills. READ MORE

Former And Future President Donald Trump Gets Nominated For Nobel Peace Prize For His Work In Facilitating The End Times Abraham Accords

A Republican lawmaker has nominated Donald Trump for a Nobel Peace Prize, citing his historic policy in the Middle East with the end times Abraham Accords

I agree that Donald Trump should absolutely be given the Nobel Peace Prize for his work on the end times Abraham Accords, no question about it. But as we have shown you repeatedly over the past few years, Trump and Jared Kushner were not the originators of the Abraham Accords, Mohamed bin Zayed was the one who created them. Why else do you think Jared Kushner was given 3 billion dollars worth of investment ‘seed money’ from his Muslim friends for his Affinity Partners hedge fund. Show him the money? They sure did. Payment for a job well done.

“And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before thee! Genesis 17:18 (KJB)

I believe that the Daniel 9:27 covenant that will be confirmed by Antichrist will be strongly attached to the Abraham Accords, that’s the level of importance we place on that document. If you go back to our ‘The Last Trump’ section, and read the articles we wrote about why God put Donald Trump in office via Daniel 2:21, it will all make sense. 8 years ago, NTEB was one of the only news outlets to successfully predict that Trump would win a landslide, the Lord gave us the heads-up on that one. God put him into office because He knew that Trump would declare Jerusalem to the capital of Israel, and he did. He knew that Trump would be the first president to move the US Embassy, he did, and He knew that Trump would be the only president who would agree to the Abraham Accords. Exciting times, my brothers and sisters in arms, exciting times! TO THE FIGHT!!!

Republican lawmaker nominates Donald Trump for Nobel Peace Prize for ‘historic’ Middle East policy Abraham Accords

FROM THE INDEPENDENT UK: New York Rep Claudia Tenney said in a statement she decided to nominate the former president for his role in the Abraham Accords treaty, which formally normalised relations between the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Israel.

“Donald Trump was instrumental in facilitating the first new peace agreements in the Middle East in almost 30 years,” she claimed in a statement posted on her website.

“For decades, bureaucrats, foreign policy ‘professionals’, and international organizations insisted that additional Middle East peace agreements were impossible without a resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. President Trump proved that to be false,” she added.

“The valiant efforts by President Trump in creating the Abraham Accords were unprecedented and continue to go unrecognized by the Nobel Peace Prize Committee, underscoring the need for his nomination today. Now more than ever, when Joe Biden’s weak leadership on the international stage is threatening our country’s safety and security, we must recognize Trump for his strong leadership and his efforts to achieve world peace. I am honored to nominate former President Donald Trump today and am eager for him to receive the recognition he deserves,” the statement continued. READ MORE

Donald Trump Scores Landslide Blowout In Iowa Caucus Setting The Stage For Perhaps The Greatest Comeback In American Political History

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Huge win for Donald Trump in the Iowa caucuses on Monday enshrines one of the most astonishing comebacks in American political history.

With 91 felony charges against him, with DA’s like Fani Willis in Georgia conspiring against him, against all odds greater than you could imagine, Donald Trump won in a landslide in Iowa last night. It remains a long road, however, from last night to the White House. Last night’s win only served to remind me about the grim specter of assassination that lurks in the shadows, the last remaining way for the Left to ‘stop Trump’. Nothing is off the table in 2024, including that.

“Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his: And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding: He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.” Daniel 2:20-22 (KJB)

America in 2024 is a divided, broken nation who, like a car that’s run out of gas, is coasting on fumes but for how much longer? Don’t even bother trying to campaign on a platform of ‘unity’, because that’s not going to happen. America is a nation on the cusp of a second civil war, a scenario being nurtured and promoted by people like former president Barack Obama and the entire phalanx of the liberal media. Could 2024 be the year that the curtain comes down on the longest-running experiment in self-government in human history? That’s the question, and that’s the memo.

Trump’s landslide Iowa win is a stunning show of strength

FROM FAKE NEWS CNN: Losing one-term presidents almost never mount subsequent successful primary campaigns, much less pull off landslides that demonstrate utter dominance of their party. Donald Trump transformed the GOP in his populist, nationalist, nihilistic image in 2016. By claiming 50% of the vote in the biggest win in caucus history, putting him on course to his third consecutive nomination, he showed that eight years after his outsider presidential victory, the current GOP is entirely his party.

“The big night is going to be in November, when we take back our country,” Donald Trump told his first proper victory party since he shocked the world by winning the 2016 election. His MAGA-hat wearing crowd greeted him with chants of “Trump, Trump, Trump” beneath two vast screens reading “Trump wins Iowa!”

But the ex-president’s rebound is more stunning for another reason. He won despite 91 criminal charges and other legal entanglements that threaten his freedom and his fortune. In a head-spinning snapshot of the unprecedented times, he’s expected to show up in a courtroom in Manhattan on Tuesday morning for the opening of a defamation trial.

His Iowa triumph came three years and nine days after he told a mob to “fight like hell” before it ransacked the US Capitol in an attempt to thwart the congressional certification of President Joe Biden’s 2020 election win. Trump’s dominance on Monday night shows that among the most committed Republican voters, there is no price for him to pay for the worst attack on an election in modern history. In fact, his successful leveraging of his criminal plight to paint a narrative of persecution is the superpower that renewed his bond with GOP base voters and left his rivals with an impossible conundrum about how to exploit his liabilities.

His caucus victory also demonstrates the success of Trump’s election denial strategy, which has convinced millions of GOP voters of the false belief he was illegally ejected from power in 2020. For Americans who believe Biden’s warning that Trump is the “most anti-democratic president with a small ‘d’ in American history,” Monday night will have sown utter dread.

Trump’s vow to win a second term dedicated to “retribution” against his enemies, his labeling of political opponents as “vermin” and his warnings that immigrants are “poisoning the blood” of America, which are reminiscent of 1930s dictators, were no disqualification in Iowa. Instead, the president who attempted to overturn democracy to stay in power used democracy far more effectively than any of his Republican opponents to win an electoral endorsement from GOP voters who want him back in the White House.
