Trump 2- One Year On

 

Today it is just over a year since Donald Trump was inaugurated as President of the United States for a very unusual second non-consecutive term. It was a moment of such hope for reasons I explain in the background link below. A few people were even calling it "Freedom Day". As you can see from the publications I've made since, it hasn't quite worked out that way. I came across a show by Stefan Molyneux where he claims Trump's first year has actually not been too bad. Trump has actually honoured most of his manifesto pledges. He made twenty core promises and he's completed five, a quarter; therefore with four years altogether he is exactly on schedule. This is a particularly difficult task in the USA in which the president's power is deliberately limited by the system. He has made progress on eight of them and therefore ten are left unmoved; half of them with three quarters of his stint ahead of him. He has U-turned on none at all. He has retuned the US to the world's primary energy producer, based on some of his first executive orders. Stefan doesn't mention this, but he has also made a deal with a fusion energy company which is extraordinary, see: (coming soon). He has cancelled the electric vehicle rollout, which is similar to Britain's very Orwellian Net Zero policy. He has sought to stop schools teaching the extremely malevolent "critical race theory", see: https://hpanwo.blogspot.com/2021/08/political-correctness-portal.html. He has made huge progress in securing the southern land border with Mexico. Trump has made full use of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement service to deport illegal migrants. These crackdowns have caused controversy for being so heavy-handed and this culminated with the shooting of Alex Pretti, a motorist in Minneapolis. They have also been accused of splitting up families, wrongfully arresting and detaining people, falsely imprisoning citizens, bullying detainees and other human rights abuses. This means Trump is not pursuing a humane methodology of incentives to repatriation, which is completely possible. He has tried to boost the economy and make the US more competitive with foreign industries. He has cut tax for low paid workers; relief on tips for example; he fully implemented that as early as June. He has attempted to stop citizens being persecuted by the government for expressing opinions. This is a massive problem in my own country and so I'm happy that our transatlantic cousins are set free of it. He has worked to stop election fraud. He is trying to iron out the problems the military has; but for what purpose will he use force? He has blocked the rise in retirement age. That's another boon against an issue that afflicts many other nations including my own, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2025/11/pension-age-rises-again.html.

If Moly's analysis is correct, that is fairly good going. If you compare that record to almost any other democratic leader then it's almost unprecedented success. However, look at what is missing. There are so many things Donald Trump needed to do and has not. These vital responsibilities are necessary to break the cycle of endless uniparty leaders simply replacing each other over and over again. Even though it wasn't an official undertaking, he charged into his election campaign promising vocally to go hard-line on the Epstein files and so many other emerging bombshells. To begin with it looked hopeful; he set up his federal secrets taskforce, but what has it achieved? Next to nothing. There's a rumour that he is going to do UFO Disclosure on July the 8th, the seventy-ninth anniversary of Roswell, but a rumour is all it is and it doesn't sound very credible, see: https://hpanwo.blogspot.com/2020/02/ufo-disclosure-portal.html. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yym7ThP-TaM. Trump's foreign policy also has a lot to be desired. His position on the Middle East is pretty much indistinguishable from every one of his predecessors since Lyndon Johnson. He has not made moves to change America's relationship with Israel, which has always been continuous, unconditional support, opulent aid and donations of armaments. He has also not attempted to cut arms sales to the other side in the region. He has not seriously backed up the pro-democracy movement in Iran. I've always said that Islamist regimes are useful to the globalists. In his first term Trump stopped the CIA supporting them in Syria; why has he weakened so much on this issue? The ultimate betrayal is Trump's gaslighting over the Epstein files, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2025/07/wot-no-list.html. Despite Stefan Molyneux's optimism, Trump's second term has so far developed into a depressing anticlimax. Regardless of what he has achieved that has shifted the dial slightly, the full revolutionary offensives he needed to make, and make quickly, have not happened and show no signs of doing so in the foreseeable future. The Attorney General Pam Bondi has cited "national security" as a reason for stalling on Epstein. Why? Moly seems to think it's because they are simply scared of what is known in UFOlogy as "ontological shock". He compares it to extracting people from the Matrix. He also believes there are unprecedented legal issues being churned around which could take years. He doesn't say so, but I sense that Stef thinks the government's reticence is therefore justified. I don't think it is. I know what the backslappers will say in reply to me, that Trump was always a bad guy and they "worked it out!" while I have been "naiiiiiiiiive!" That's not true. I know so because I have been debating this issue with them since 2015. The backslappers have simply guessed right. Then again, who knows what is going to happen in the future. Trump is only one year in and has three years to go. However, if he's going to turn this ship around he has some very sharp manoeuvres to carry out and he needs to start very soon. At the present time, there is no sign at all that he is going to.
