Trump Predicts Fed’s Election-Year Move: Lowering Rates to Aid Democrats

/3 Comments/in , /by

In an exclusive interview with the Breitbart Business Digest (BBD) at Mar-a-Lago last week, former President Donald Trump shared his views on the state of the U.S. economy and made a bold prediction for the upcoming election year. Among the topics discussed, Trump expressed his critique of what he termed “Bidenomics” and went on to predict that the Federal Reserve would lower interest rates to support the Democratic nominee in the general election.

Trump indicated that it was not effective branding for President Joe Biden. He associated it with inflation, a struggling economy, high taxes, chaos, and what he deemed as “stupidity.” Despite being used by Biden himself, Trump suggested that the term might work against the current administration’s messaging and branding efforts. His insights into the economic challenges posed by what he dubbed “Bidenflation” align with his broader critique of the Biden administration’s fiscal policies.

Trump went further to issue a warning to the American public, suggesting that if Democrats retain the White House and secure Congress in the upcoming elections, taxes could be raised. With the nation already grappling with the impacts of inflation, Trump’s prediction raises concerns about the potential additional financial burden on American families.

One of the most intriguing revelations from the interview was Trump’s prediction regarding the Federal Reserve’s role in the election year. The former president opined that the Federal Reserve, led by Chairman Jerome Powell, would likely lower interest rates specifically to aid the Democratic nominee, possibly Joe Biden. Trump recalled past instances during his administration when he claimed to influence Powell’s decisions through what he referred to as “jawboning.”

Trump acknowledged the potential controversy of such a move, recognizing that lowering rates in an election year as interference.

In a particularly striking moment during the interview, Trump repeatedly issued a dire economic prediction, stating, “If I don’t win, you’re going to end up with a depression.” Emphasizing the letter “d,” Trump painted a grim picture of the economic consequences he foresaw if his anticipated scenario did not unfold.

Lawyer for Epstein’s Victims Says Trump Was the Only Powerful Figure Who Helped Him With Investigation

/6 Comments/in , , /by

A video resurfaced Tuesday of attorney Bradley Edwards discussing former President Donald Trump’s attitude and actions toward late child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein following the latter’s first arrest.

Edwards has represented more than 70 victims of Jeffrey Epstein since 2009, and is largely credited with helping bring the child sex trafficker to justice. In a video that circulated online Tuesday, and originally released by the Conscious Resistance Network in 2018, Edwards told the site’s founder Derrick Broze about his perspective on Trump’s involvement in the situation.

Broze cited a case brought against Trump by two former alleged victims of Epstein, which was dropped before reaching court, and asked Edwards’ his opinion of the validity of the claims.

“The only thing that I can say about President Trump is that he is the only person who in 2009, when I served a lot of subpoenas against a lot of people … he is the only person that picked up the phone and said, ‘let’s just talk, I’ll give ya as much time as you want, I’ll tell ya what you need to know,’” Bradley explained.

“And [Trump] was very helpful in the information that he gave, and gave no indication whatsoever that he was involved in anything untoward whatsoever,” Bradley continued. “But [he] had good information, that checked out, and that helped us, and that we didn’t have to take a deposition of him.” (Read more from “Lawyer for Epstein’s Victims Says Trump Was the Only Powerful Figure Who Helped Him With Investigation” HERE)

Tucker Carlson Sounds Alarm: ‘Assassination’ May Be Next for Trump

/5 Comments/in , , /by

In a recent interview with conservative commentator Dan Bongino, Tucker Carlson, co-founder of the Daily Caller and creator of The Tucker Carlson Network (TCN), raised concerns about the escalating attempts to thwart former President Donald Trump’s political momentum. Carlson warned that, given the failures of previous strategies such as protests, impeachment, and indictment, the next move by political opponents could potentially involve an assassination attempt.

Carlson pointed out that opponents of Trump, particularly those in the professional class, may view his return to the presidency as the worst-case scenario. Despite their efforts so far, including protests, impeachment, and indictment, none have succeeded in preventing Trump’s influence.

“If you felt, and you really believe it, and a lot of them do, that the worst thing that could happen to the country is to have Donald Trump as president — and everything you have tried has failed, and they have been accelerating steps – protests, impeachment, indictment – like, how many more arrows do you have in your quiver? And what’s the next one? And of course it’s assassination,” Carlson expressed during the conversation with Bongino.

Carlson argued that it is “not crazy” to consider the possibility of an assassination attempt against Trump, especially given global instances of political figures being assassinated. Drawing attention to a recent dinner conversation with the former president of Haiti regarding the assassination of his successor, Carlson highlighted that political assassinations have occurred in the United States more frequently than acknowledged.

While Carlson admitted discussing the potential threat with Trump, the former president did not engage with the subject. Despite not knowing Trump’s perspective on the matter, Carlson asserted that Trump, being smart, must be aware of the potential risks.

Further, Carlson said, “You’re not allowed to say them precisely because they are not conspiracy theories or lies. They are true. And that is true. Period.”

Epstein’s Old Flight Logs Showing Presidents Clinton’s and Trump’s Trips Resurface Ahead of Upcoming Doc Dump

/9 Comments/in , , /by

Old flight logs revealing that former presidents Bill Clinton and Donald Trump took trips on Jeffrey Epstein’s famed “Lolita Express” jet resurfaced Monday, on the anticipated eve of the bombshell court records dump expected to reveal hundreds of names tied to the financier’s sex trafficking ring.

The 42nd and 45th commanders-in-chief were exposed as some of the high-profile passengers who rubbed elbows with the pedophile when the logs were released two years earlier during convicted madam Ghislaine Maxwell’s trial.

Clinton is also expected to be identified as “John Doe 36,” who is mentioned more than 50 times in documents related to a 2015 lawsuit from Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre set to be released as early as Tuesday.

The flight logs, publicly available since December 2021, made the rounds on social media Monday, with many pointing out that the names of the two US presidents repeatedly appeared throughout the 118 pages.

Lawyer Alan Dershowitz, former US Sen. George Mitchell and disgraced Prince Andrew are other big names that were outed as passengers. (Read more from “Epstein’s Old Flight Logs Showing Presidents Clinton’s and Trump’s Trips Resurface Ahead of Upcoming Doc Dump” HERE)

Biden’s Re-Election Bid Hit With Foreboding New Year’s Eve Forecast

/3 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden enters 2024 with job approval and poll numbers that bode ill for the incumbent, a political analyst told an MSNBC audience on New Year’s Eve.

National political correspondent Steve Kornacki explained on Sunday, armed with his signature charts, how NBC’s final poll of the year compares with the statistics for other presidents heading into a re-election year.

Biden stood at 40% approval and 57% disapproval in November, which Kornacki said is the “lowest” dating back to President George H.W. Bush, who lost his attempt to secure a second term, and others who won or got defeated in the intervening years.

Moving on to an average of 2024 general election polls, which over course of 2023 has flipped from favoring Biden in a head-to-head rematch against former President Donald Trump by 2 points to giving Trump a plus-two margin over Biden, Kornacki noted that it looks to be a “very close race.” (Read more from “Biden’s Re-Election Bid Hit With Foreboding New Year’s Eve Forecast” HERE)

By Trying to Keep Trump off the Ballot, Democrats Are Staging a Coup in Broad Daylight

/4 Comments/in , /by

If it wasn’t obvious before now that the left will do anything to stop Donald Trump from winning a second term in the White House, the events of the last few days should leave no doubt in any American’s mind. Democrats, including President Biden, are prepared not only to rig the 2024 election in broad daylight but also to twist the U.S. Constitution and undermine the republic so they can hold on to power.

As most everyone knows by now, an infamous 4-3 majority of the Colorado Supreme Court ruled on Tuesday that voters in their state will not be allowed to cast a ballot for Trump in next year’s presidential election. The court’s outlandish claim is that Trump is ineligible to appear on the ballot because Section 3 of the 14th Amendment says candidates who have “engaged in insurrection” are prohibited from holding public office.

According to the court, which is dominated by left-wing ideologues appointed by Democrat governors (all the judges on the Colorado Supreme Court are Democrats, some are just more radical than others), Trump meets this definition because he “incited” a riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Never mind that Trump has yet to be convicted of a crime associated with Jan. 6 (or any crime for that matter) or that the 14th Amendment doesn’t include the president or vice president in a list of offices to which its Section 3 provision applies. For the leftists on the Colorado Supreme Court, it’s enough to declare Trump an insurrectionist and viola! He’s off the ballot — all in the name of “defending democracy.”

David French called it a “bold, courageous decision,” but setting aside the constitutional/legal debate, consider what it means practically. About 1.4 million Coloradans voted for Trump in 2020. All those voters, if they want to vote for Trump again this time, have been disenfranchised by the court. That’s bad enough, but the left’s strategy here is larger than just one state. Before the ink was dry on the Colorado ruling, California Democrats leapt into action. The lieutenant governor, Eleni Kounalakis, sent a letter to Secretary of State Shirley Weber asking her to “explore every legal option to remove former President Donald Trump from California’s 2024 presidential primary ballot.” . . .

But set aside the legal fight because it doesn’t matter to the left. For Biden and the Democrats, this isn’t really a question of what the Constitution does or doesn’t say. This is a question of power and how far they will go to keep it. From the politicized court ruling in Colorado to the four criminal indictments against Trump amounting to 91 felony charges to Biden’s statement last November that he’ll use the Constitution to ensure that Trump “will not take power” and will not “become the next president,” what we have amounts to an open conspiracy to rig the 2024 election by preventing voters from casting a ballot for the likely GOP nominee.

These Are the Important Dates to Know for the Jam-Packed Election Year in 2024

/9 Comments/in , /by

The 2024 calendar will be chock-full of national and statewide races alongside a contentious presidential election coinciding with Donald Trump’s slate of trials amid his run for another term.

Presidential candidates, House and Senate hopefuls, gubernatorial nominees and others will face off on Nov. 5 after a busy year of party primaries and special elections. Additionally, the former president faces four trials following 2023 indictments related to alleged election interference, classified documents and hush money payments as he challenges President Joe Biden for the White House.

Iowa’s caucus is the first nominating contest of the 2024 season on Jan. 15, followed by New Hampshire’s first-in-the-nation primary on Jan. 23. Nevada is holding both a party primary and a state caucus within two days of each other on Feb. 6 and Feb. 8, respectively.

South Carolina’s primary is set for Feb. 24, and Michigan’s will take place three days later. . .

As a part of the Democratic National Committee’s (DNC’s) new calendar, at the directive of Biden, South Carolina was moved up first for their party, pushing back both Iowa and New Hampshire. Iowa caved to the DNC, and will release their presidential preferences on March 5, while New Hampshire kept its late January date.

Former Obama Advisor Warns Democrats: Excluding Trump From Ballots a Mistake

/5 Comments/in , /by

Former President Barack Obama’s top adviser, David Axelrod, has raised concerns about the strategy some states are considering to keep former President Donald Trump off the primary ballots for the 2024 presidential election. Axelrod, known for his political insights, revealed to CNN on Friday that he harbored “very, very strong reservations” about such moves, highlighting the potential risks it could pose for the Democratic Party.

States like Maine and Colorado have taken steps to declare Trump “ineligible” to run for president in 2024, citing the 14th Amendment’s “insurrection” clause in response to the events of January 6th, 2021. Axelrod expressed his worry, stating that preventing Trump from running could have severe consequences, possibly tearing the country apart.

“I do think it would rip the country apart if he were actually prevented from running because tens of millions of people want to vote for him,” Axelrod emphasized during the CNN interview.

Axelrod argued that attempting to exclude Trump from the 2024 primary ballot might play into the former president’s hands, as Trump had strategically set up his campaign to function as part of his legal defense.

The former Obama adviser noted that every attack Democrats had launched against Trump seemed to backfire, with the former president gaining support.

Brianne Pfannenstiel, chief political reporter at the Des Moines Register, echoed Axelrod’s concerns, emphasizing that attacks on Trump tended to strengthen his support, particularly among Republicans in states like Iowa.

“If he’s being attacked, Republicans in Iowa tend to gravitate even more closely to him… His support is only getting stronger here in Iowa,” Pfannenstiel said during a Sunday morning MSNBC show.

Trump on Biden’s Border Crisis: ‘Invasion’ and ‘Migration of Civilization’ Into the U.S.

/1 Comment/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump ripped Democrat President Joe Biden’s administration for allowing what Trump calls an “invasion” at the U.S. border with Mexico, something the former president likened to a “migration of civilization into our country.”

Trump’s comments, which came during a two-hour-long exclusive interview at his Mar-a-Lago resort on Thursday evening, come as Biden’s administration has been involved in talks with Mexico to try to stem the tide of migrants flowing into the country. They also come as lawmakers in Washington seek an elusive deal that would fund more aid to Ukraine—a Biden administration priority—in exchange for border reforms that Republicans in the Senate want. Trump ripped Biden for not understanding the leverage that he says the United States has in negotiations with Mexico.

“He doesn’t understand anything—they went into Mexico today, hat in hand,” Trump said. “We have all the power—they have none of the power.”Trump was referring to how Biden’s Secretary of State Antony Blinken met this week with Mexican foreign minister Alicia Barcena to produce what the Mexican president Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador—known as AMLO for short—called afterwards “important agreements.” A joint communication from Mexico and the United States that the Biden White House shared after the meeting stated the two countries’ commitment to “orderly, humane and regular migration.”

Trump thinks Biden got rolled by Mexico—something he says he would have never let happen when he was president. Trump told Breitbart News that when he took office in January 2017 after eight years of Democrat Barack Obama in the White House, there were many people streaming across the border. But Trump was able to significantly cut the flow down with deals like Remain-in-Mexico and other agreements with Northern Triangle countries in Central America—in addition to things like the implementation of Title 42 and the end of catch-and-release policies. But now that Biden is in there, and because of the fact he ripped up Trump’s policies immediately upon taking office, Trump says now there is an “invasion” and a “migration of civilization into the country” unlike any other in world history. Trump also repeatedly pointed out his belief that many of the people coming in are from mental institutions worldwide, and that some are even terrorists.

Democrat Secretary of State Admits She Personally Decided Trump Was ‘Guilty’ of an Insurrection (VIDEO)

/6 Comments/in , /by

The Biden-supporting Dem activist and Secretary of State from Maine has removed President Trump from the ballot for “inciting an insurrection.”

The issue now is that Trump never incited an insurrection. Furthermore, Shenna Bellows, who isn’t a lawyer and was appointed Secretary of State by the state legislature, not the people, has disenfranchised every single Trump voter in Maine based on her feelings. . .

And in case you were wondering, Shenna and her fellow childless, aging Secretary of State harpies have some deep thoughts on “election sabotage”:
