Quick Takes from the Past 24-48 Hours

The following is an installment of Trump-Vance team accomplishments (each article is linked for further info):

1. Donald Trump, the People’s President

Saturday night, President Trump entered the Kaseya Center in Miami to a standing ovation from the raucous crowd attending the UFC 314 event. It was another triumphant Trump appearance at a sporting event.

Since his election, he has attended the Super Bowl, the Daytona 500, and a professional golf tournament. President Trump likes sports, and he likes interacting with regular people. His signature rallies are always well-attended and festive events with Trump mixing it up with enthusiastic supporters.

Trump has a special bond with the American people, which makes him unique among recent Presidents. Unlike many elected officials, he prefers to be with everyday Americans, not elitists.

He is the President of Main Street, not Wall Street. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated:

The Trump agenda is focused on Main Street…It’s Main Street’s turn to hire workers. It’s Main Street’s turn to drive investment, and it’s Main Street’s turn to restore the American Dream.

The President’s desire to help average hard-working Americans is the reason he is pushing for no tax on tips, overtime, or social security. At a September 12, 2024, rally, the President said:

The people who work overtime are among the hardest working citizens in our country, and for too long, no one in Washington has been looking out for them.

Of course, the President is right. In Washington D.C., politicians respond to pressure from well-heeled lobbyists or special interests and dismiss the interests of average Americans. Thankfully, President Trump is different.

President Trump also has a heart for justice, and an emphatic attitude toward people in distress. Consequently, in his second inaugural address, he said:

My proudest legacy will be that of a peacemaker and unifier. 

Thus, he is trying to bring peace to Ukraine and Gaza and wants the wars, suffering, and bloodshed to end.

President Trump and his administration are working tirelessly to fix the multitude of problems left by The Obiden Regime, Sleepy Joe having been the worst President in American history. None of this will be easy or quick. It will take a determined effort for the remainder of his term.

God speed Mr. President.

2. How Are Biden-to-Trump Swing Voters in Crucial Pennsylvania Feeling About Trump’s Presidency?

Donald Trump managed to sweep the battleground states and capture a popular vote victory by disrupting the 2020 Leftist coalition.  In addition to preventing another steal, he flipped lots of ‘swing’ voters into his column.

Most Pennsylvania swing voters in our latest Engagious/Sago focus groups stuck by President Trump through this week’s drama over tariffs and the stock market, but say he must better explain his strategy and how long Americans should prepare for pain.

Many are prepared to put up with months of strain if it makes the country safer, brings jobs back to the U.S. or helps their long-term finances, but they want a clearer understanding of what will happen and why.

One recurring theme was swing voters gave Trump credit for taking lots of action in his first three months, even if they didn’t agree with some of those actions or his moves were legally challenged, rescinded or revised.

3. ‘The Trump Effect’: Major AI Company Announces New Factories in the U.S.

NVIDIA is working with its manufacturing partners to design and build factories that, for the first time, will produce NVIDIA AI supercomputers entirely in the U.S.

The company released in a statement:

Together with leading manufacturing partners, the company has commissioned more than a million square feet of manufacturing space to build and test NVIDIA Blackwell chips in Arizona and AI supercomputers in Texas.

NVIDIA Blackwell chips have started production at TSMC’s chip plants in Phoenix, Arizona.

NVIDIA is building supercomputer manufacturing plants in Texas, with Foxconn in Houston and with Wistron in Dallas. Mass production at both plants is expected to ramp up in the next 12-15 months.

The White House released in a statement:

It’s the Trump Effect in action. President Trump has made U.S.-based chips manufacturing a priority as part of his relentless pursuit of an American manufacturing renaissance, and it’s paying off—with trillions of dollars in new investments secured in the tech sector alone.

4. Kellyanne Conway Highlighted the Left’s Opposition to Trump’s Successful China Trade Strategy

Getting China policy right is not a mere academic exercise—our nation’s future and hardworking Americans getting a fair shake are of utmost concern.

The path forward demands clear-eyed strategies that put American interests first. Families across the heartland—the ones often ignored by the coastal chattering class—understand this perfectly well. They know Washington’s decisions hit home, impacting their wallets, their kids’ opportunities, and the very strength of this country.

Yet, listen to the noise coming out of D.C., and what do you hear? Exactly! Senseless chatter.

As President Trump’s bold economic agenda racks up wins, Kellyanne Conway pointed out the Left is stuck facing a major dilemma.

See, President Trump’s “tariff war” is working. And Conway highlighted a growing parade of corporations beating a path to the White House, announcing huge U.S. investments because of Trump’s America First approach.

So, with American investment booming and jobs returning, what is the Left offering? Crickets. Worse than crickets, actually—they are stuck opposing the very strategy that is working.

[C]ountries are going to have to decide whether they’re

for America or they’re for China. [And the Left must]

decide [whether] they are for America or for China.

President Trump’s decisive, proudly America-First strategy is bringing home jobs, investment, and a restored sense of economic sovereignty.

Meanwhile, Leftists are twisting themselves into knots, unable to choose between hating Trump and doing what is best for the country.

5. Trump Made White House Portrait Exchange with Painting of Assassination Attempt Survival

The White House stands as more than just the seat of executive power. It is also a living repository of American history.

Its walls are adorned with symbols reflecting the nation’s journey and the values of its leaders. Each administration leaves its mark, choosing which icons and moments to elevate within these storied halls. The messages conveyed through art and placement are subtle yet powerful, speaking volumes about priorities and perspective.

From Breitbart:

The new foyer painting captures the moment when Trump raised his fist, pumping out the words “fight, fight, fight,” which became a campaign rallying cry as well as the photograph of the moment itself.

This striking new painting in the Grand Foyer, captures a moment seared into the memory of millions of Americans.

And what did it replace? Think traitorous, narcissistic, queer Kenyan.

While the usual suspects will complain about broken traditions, this bold statement reflects a President focused on the future and the fight ahead. Trump is drawing strength from a moment of profound adversity. This is a fitting image for the People’s House, embodying the resolve needed to Make America Great Again.

6. President Trump to Fully Defund NPR and PBS

The Trump Administration’s plan to eliminate public broadcasting funding would primarily affect the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), which is the entity that receives federal funds and distributes them to PBS, NPR, and local public media stations.

Based on the available data, the CPB has received approximately $535 million annually in recent federal budgets. If this funding is completely eliminated, the federal government would save $535 million per year.

And Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) eloquently stated:
