Trump!
#2024Elections: The Mainstream Media continues to say @VivekGRamaswamy isn’t a serious candidate just because he speaks 🗣️ the truth which they can’t stand because they always side with the Establishment Swamp Elitists.
#2024Elections: America 🇺🇸 we need a President that’s bold and that will tell the truth and who’s not afraid to handle difficult challenges that will face them. @RonDeSantis has a clear vision that will turn around America 🇺🇸. In Ron I Trust, A True Visionary.

#Facts: It’s so amazing how The Mainstream Media and The Establishment Swamps are so triggered by @VivekGRamaswamy because he’s touching a nerve by speaking the truth when it comes to The Establishment swamps.
The United States, often perceived as a global leader and a benchmark for democracy and freedom, presents a more complex picture when scrutinized through various global indices. While it is true that the U.S. leads in military spending, its performance in other key areas such as democracy, freedom, corruption, and social equity is more nuanced, often ranking as "fair to middling" compared to other nations.
In terms of democracy, the U.S. has shown signs of strain. The Economist Intelligence Unit's Democracy Index, which assesses the state of democracy worldwide, has recently categorized the U.S. as a "flawed democracy." This classification reflects growing concerns about the health of its democratic system, including issues related to the electoral process, political polarization, and the influence of money in politics (The Economist Intelligence Unit, 2021).
Regarding freedom, the U.S. generally scores well, but with caveats. Reports by organizations like Freedom House, which assesses political rights and civil liberties, indicate that while the U.S. maintains a high level of overall freedom, there are challenges. These include racial and ethnic disparities, issues in the criminal justice system, and concerns about privacy and government surveillance (Freedom House, 2021).
Corruption perception is another area where the U.S. does not lead. Transparency International's Corruption Perceptions Index, which measures perceived levels of public sector corruption, has seen the U.S. score decline in recent years. This decline suggests growing concerns about government integrity, lobbying influence, and a lack of transparency in political financing (Transparency International, 2021).
Social equity in the U.S. is a complex and multifaceted issue. The World Inequality Report highlights significant disparities in income and wealth within the country. These disparities are often along racial, ethnic, and gender lines, indicating systemic issues in how economic prosperity is distributed (World Inequality Lab, 2022).
In contrast, the U.S. is unparalleled in its military expenditure. According to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), the U.S. consistently outspends other countries by a significant margin, allocating more resources to defense than the next several countries combined (SIPRI, 2022). This prioritization of military spending has implications for how resources are allocated domestically, potentially affecting investment in social services, education, and infrastructure.
In conclusion, while the U.S. is a global military powerhouse, its performance in democracy, freedom, corruption, and social equity is more mixed. These areas show that there is room for improvement and highlight the need for introspection and policy reforms to address these challenges. The juxtaposition of its military spending against its fair to middling performance in other key areas of governance and social well-being invites a critical examination of national priorities and policies.
What a waste of my time. Boring boring boring. Same old rhetoric as the other debates. That’s 2 hours of my life I will never get back.
#TheAmericanDream: The American 🇺🇸 Dream is fading away because of horrible policies like Bidenomics affecting the housing market. It’s difficult 😞 to survive financially and buy a new house 🏡. America 🇺🇸 needs new leadership that actually cares about putting America 🇺🇸 First.
#FailingAmerica: @POTUS Sleepy 😴 Joe and The Establishment Swamps aka Uniparty are failing America 🇺🇸 and Destroying The American 🇺🇸 Dream. It’s difficult for Younger people to buy a home 🏡 because of inflation and Bidenomics. Middle and Poor Class Americans are suffering.

#2024Elections: Both @RonDeSantis and @VivekGRamaswamy won the debate yesterday but @RonDeSantis had the substance and right policies to move America 🇺🇸 forward. We must reject @POTUS Sleepy 😴 Joe and Bidenomics in 2024.
Advice of the Day: America 🇺🇸 we need policies that benefit everyone not just for a few. Which is why we need a leader that has the right policies that will help benefit all. Also, we need a leader that will be tougher on Crime.
The clearest measure of the state of America though, is the reaction of the crowd… cheering and screaming as if they were at a wrestling match, instead of a political debate. It's the American People who are ultimately responsible for turning their nation's political stage into the set for a farce. The politicians are just giving that public the bread and circus they are begging for.
YeeeHaaa UnterMagAmerica!
The best thing about the democrat party is that they have all turned gay and won't be reproducing in the future.
Christie should be at the top of this class of republicans (including trump) – not scraping the bottom.
Ron probably won the debate although Vivek is a close second he did screw up about his religion unfortunately
#TrumpRamaswamy! #TrumpDeSantis or #TrumpHaley!
This is supposed to be about the science of the working class, or you will have the wrong current events !
That black dude lives on another planet
This guy is delusional and liar, Bidon couldn't find his way to and from the stage….he's a laughing stock internationally 😅
Biden Is A Joke! Blacks For Trump 2024
TRUMP!
I respect all of these people for actually showing up and actually caring. Donald Trump hasn’t shown up to any of these. All this sniping shows that these media pundits are rooting for Trump. Sorry to say these two women are rooting for chaos because they have no business talking about politics. They don’t care.
Is there another debate tonight? Why? It will be TRUMP in 2024!!!!
People now look towards Joe Biden??? 😂 Everyone laughs at him. What a joke !
Trump raved against Biden for not cMpaigning yet he isnt either.
Nicky Haley has a greediness feel to her ..like shes just waiting to get what ahe wants so she can cash in. CHRIS christie never should have made it this far. I feel there is a uneasiness with Desantis…Vivek is hard to read…a wild card.
Commenting on harrison's 'opinion'…you're so full of dung 😡
4:13 it's a bag of MAGA apples, and they are all rotten. Yep, they are diabolical, and they are scheming to take away our freedoms one by one.
Blackwashing the newscasters is so 2020… can’t take ABC seriously
What lies. Biden respected??? Haha
Chris Christie = Reality. The rest of the field are goofballs.
Maga your right we are maga dnc chair a lying scumbag
These people think Biden doing good are in denile you mean there laughing at Biden falling down Biden is weak period
Bald guy spouted lying political points with no challenge. Let a Republican spout talking points and the host would push back hard.
During the 4 years of trump the economy was much better, inflation was low, we didn’t get involved in new wars, and trump met with the leader of the biggest nuclear threat to the US with no security detail and talked North Korea into peace. Trump had the highest employment of women and minorities in history. He allocated the most funds ever to help the poor and minorities to start businesses. How is that worse than Biden who funds new wars with money that could help the US, constantly shows actual racism when he says things like “poor kids are just as bright and talented as white kids” or “I don’t want my kids growing up in a racial jungle”, and has us in a position to enter conflicts with some of the most powerful nations in the world? I don’t even like trump, but come tf on. Real things were not as bad as they are under Biden. Trump said “grab her by the P”. Biden sexually assaulted a young woman by pinning her against a wall and forced his fingers up her skirt into her, which got swept under the rug.
Nothing but bullshit coming from their mouth
(Daniel 9:27 was fulfilled on August 13 2023 also when the woman began travailing in birth to fulfill the time of the gentiles for the mystery of Revelation 12 to be completed, Daniel 12:1 next, three riders released within 2020 and 2023. These words are true and worthy and he who has ears to hear let him hear and blessed is he who understands.)

“And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them. But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by. Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.”

And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.”
Gospel of Luke, chapter 21, verse 25 to 28.
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.”
Gospel of John, chapter 3, verse 16 to 18.
“For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.”

“knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, and saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.”
Second Peter, chapter 3, verse 3 to 4.
“For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.”
First Thessalonians chapter 5, verse 3.
“For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.”
First Thessalonians, chapter 4, verse 16 to 17.
“in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.”

Gospel of Luke, chapter 17, verse 34 to 36.
