Trump Speaks at America First Policy Institute Summit

While the mainstream media is fixated on the January 6 investigations, the Black community is concentrated on more pressing issues such as the rising cost of gas and food, education, and law enforcement. Meanwhile, Trump and the Republican Party rolled out their agenda for the mid-term elections this year and the 2024 elections should they win. Their strategy! is to isolate cities and speak to suburban and rural white voters through law and order. This strategy worked in the 2016 election and if we’re not careful, this may very well work again.

We live in an era of massive propaganda aimed at all sectors of the country, more specifically the Black community. This creates confusion and apathy for most voters. What lies underneath all the noise is the real agenda. It matters not whether these policy positions will ever become law—that’s not the objective. The objective is to diminish the Black vote and recapture the suburban white vote. Stoking fears among suburban and rural whites was on the agenda in his speech, and public safety is his most noted tool.

“Our nation is now a cesspool of crime,” “We have blood, death, and suffering on a scale once unthinkable because of the Democrat Party’s efforts to destroy and dismantle law enforcement agencies all throughout America.” Trump sternly tells a room full of Republican legislators and followers.

During Trump’s speech at the America First Policy Institute Summit, he detailed very specific policy goals for creating his own dystopian propaganda; placing police cars on every corner, moving the homeless population out of the inner city onto inexpensive land outside the city, reinstating stop and frisk, and subjecting the death penalty on convicted drug dealers. To be clear, Republicans in the House and Senate cannot impose these sanctions on local and state governments. Under the doctrine of states’ rights, the federal government is not allowed to interfere with the powers of the states reserved or implied to them by the 10th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution

As Trump stated regarding the current situation, ‘We will pass legislation where you can go in and immediately help those people that are under siege and they have Governors that don’t know what they’re doing under these circumstances. The Federal Government has the right to do what they want to do, but we can’t do that. We can get that. It’s a duty for us to use every tool, every authority and constitutional power at our disposal to defend the citizens of our country.'”

In conclusion, Republican politics are characterized by a focus on personal gain, a willingness to political games, and a lack of transparency. These features are evident in Republicans’ approach to both domestic and foreign policy.
