Commentary: The Trump of Waco, Texas Is Very Different from the Trump Who Came Down the Escalator in 2015

At a recent rally in Waco, Texas, President Trump spoke to thousands of fans about what he believes are the biggest issues of the day.

If you’ve been paying any attention to the news cycles and the American people’s biggest concerns, you might think Trump spent hours talking about persistent inflation, a major financial crisis brewing, border security worsening, the fentanyl epidemic, China, Russia, Iran and Saudi Arabia, lost energy independence, etc., etc.

But none of that was on Trump’s agenda Saturday night.

Instead, what We the People received was an airing of grievances, and the broad-brush, bold strokes of The Plan to Take Back America.

Saturday night was a rally focused on Trump’s personal enemies—and thereby the enemies of We the People—the Department of Justice, Ron DeSantis, Joe Biden, Mitch McConnell, Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg, and others.

This was the rally in which we witnessed being elevated to target status that which has long been central to Trump’s post-2020 rhetoric:

He is the shield and We the American People are the ultimate targets.

We must support him, because if he falls, We the People will be next.

The following in part from redstate.com.

To be sure, Saturday was the right time for what President Trump said and his words were the right words for a mass gathering of loyal followers who have been witnessing our beloved country being systematically disassembled brick by brick.

No doubt, a vast majority of Americans are well aware of the stolen 2020 and 2022 elections; a corrupted Congress comprised of communists/globalists, RINOs—the uniparty—and a smaller number of true conservatives; the weaponization of every three-digit entity in America against Conservatism; as well as a compromised Supreme Court from which no one can accurately foretell any decision regardless of how well we are aware of the merits of the case.

True enough there is a large and growing segment of the population that sympathizes with Trump, and this includes tens—if not—a hundred million-plus supporters who have decided that the persecution must stop and that he must be returned to the Oval Office to put an end to the weaponization of the justice system against him and against We the People.

Even those who despise and/or simply fear Trump cannot doubt that Trump’s current approach will be a factor.

But the winning strategy for Trump in 2016 was not making it about himself. It was about the American people. Many people voted for Trump because Hillary Clinton represented more of the same misery that they had received under Barack Obama. Trump effectively made the case that he was not like them because he wasn’t pretending to be something he wasn’t. He was a rich American who knew the system was stacked against the American people.

Let’s stop right here, though, and ask ourselves, ‘Exactly, what is it that Trump is doing with the recurring rally after rally after rally?’ Yes, he has announced his candidacy for the 2024 election and he has gone as far as predicting his being re-elected, but is this truly the rationale behind the seemingly never-ending rallies?

Or could the rallies be a tool to recurringly present the facts behind America’s demise under the Obiden Regime and to convince those still on the fence that his ideas are the only way to save America?

Now let’s examine a number of facts:

 – The Leftist Obiden Regime is picking fights throughout the world, and historically hostile players are shaking hands and forming agreements—against the hostile United States. Russia and China are working together as well as intentions having been voiced for future agreements between Iran and Saudi Arabia.

 – The same Leftist Regime has been demonstrating national suicidal ideations to include crashing the economy, diminishing oil exploration and fuel production, effecting train derailments, contaminating communities and farmlands, setting ablaze food production facilities, infecting large herds of livestock then having them destroyed, selling off the Strategic Oil Reserve, funding a lost-cause war in Ukraine, setting the races in America at odds with one another, etc., etc.

 – America is on the edge of spontaneous combustion. Many believe the current pace of national suicide will not be able to continue until November 2024.

 – Trump has announced his candidacy for 2024, but he has not been specific about whether these rallies are aiming toward a 2024 campaign.

By way of these rallies, Trump has opened the eyes of a vast majority of Americans. He has been able to secure vast numbers—tens of millions—of supporters talking about the issues of the moment. Immigration, systemic corruption, and other subjects have all resonated well with the GOP base. But that was not the message that was presented to his supporters Saturday night.

When Trump came down that elevator in 2015, he represented something completely different, and against the odds, his message resonated with We the People—enough people that Hillary and Company were unable to effect their anticipated steal. Yes, Trump’s 2016 win was a landslide victory.

Further, Trump made the 2016 election about the American people, and his plan and his message were great successes. Yes, this current series of rallies is about the plight of the American people, but President Trump has begun outlining his list of enemies and their evil deeds.

We the People know exactly what Trump’s Waco visit symbolizes.

According to spokesman Steven Cheung:

President Trump is holding his first campaign rally in Waco in the Super Tuesday state of Texas because it is centrally located and close to all four of Texas’ biggest metropolitan areas—Dallas/Ft Worth, Houston, Austin, and San Antonio—while providing the necessary infrastructure to hold a rally of this magnitude. This is the ideal location to have as many supporters from across the state and in neighboring states attend this historic rally.

However, Mary Trump, the president’s niece and a famously outspoken critic of her uncle, said in a tweet Thursday night:

 [H]osting the rally in Waco is a ploy to remind his cult of the infamous Waco siege of 1993, where an anti-government cult battled the FBI. Scores of people died. He wants the same violent chaos to rescue him from justice.

Contrary to what Mary Trump speaks, We the People remember what the U.S. government did to Waco in a much different catastrophic way.

President Trump used the backdrop of Waco to remind We the People of the out-of-control tyrannic regime at the helm of power in the United States. That same tyrannical power and that same Justice Department whose ATF and FBI were on the ground at the Branch Davidian compound thirty years ago have since wrongfully portrayed the January 6 set-up as an insurrection against that government in an attempt to coverup its stolen election. They have unconstitutionally incarcerated the Jan 6 protesters and have since raided Trump’s South Florida beach home last year wrongfully searching for classified documents.

Each of these horrific actions were the product of an out-of-control Deep State and an out-of-control communist/globalist regime whose power over America is thankfully waning.

NOTE: President Trump has been repeating his message over and over to We the People. But he has since added something much more meaningful.

He declared in Waco:

In 2016, I declared ‘I am your voice.’

I say to you again tonight, ‘I am your voice. I am your warrior. I am your justice. And for those who have been wronged and betrayed, I am your retribution.

We will take care of it.

The stakes of this election could not be more clear.

Either we submit to the forces happily abolishing and demolishing our country or we defeat them in a landslide on November 5, 2024.

Either the Deep State destroys America or we destroy the Deep State. That’s the way it’s got to be.

We the People can now more fully see the corrupt system—it is becoming clearer and clearer each day. And there is a strong possibility that this War of Words will become kinetic very soon. Many believe our beloved country will not last this ongoing destruction until 2024.

Presently, We the People are doing what we need to do to destroy their system—to bring their entire crooked system down—civil disobedience and legal challenges to every action the Left attempts.

We must remember we are engaged in an information war.

Yes, we have become impatient. Events are beginning to look more and more frightening, but again we must keep in mind that Trump and his people—the military—have everything under control.

As President Trump has stated:

This is not another four-year election. This is taking back the country. This is returning the power to We the People.

Soon Trump, the military, and We the People will make the final push and we will win.
