“From this moment on, America’s decline is over.” Watching President Trump’s inauguration today, I felt an incredible sense of relief. I felt comfort and trust.

But I also felt trepidation. “Will this work?”

Our country faces huge problems right now. Fixing them will take enormous effort.

We have to believe that we can do it.

I was chatting with someone this weekend and she said, “Trump is a gamble.” I responded with one of my favorite quotes…

“No gamble, no future.”

I’m told they say that in Vietnam. It’s a motto we have to adopt.

As I write this on the afternoon of Monday, January 20, 2025, our country is $36.2 trillion in debt. That’s growing by a trillion every 90 days.

We are at the beginning of a debt spiral. We borrow to pay off existing debt, which drives up interest rates. Then we have to borrow even more to pay that interest.

If we don’t do something right now, we will never get out of this spiral.

I like Jason Calacanis’ suggestion of a 5% across the board cut, every year, for 4 years.

We are also at the edge of World War III with Russia over Ukraine. If that conflict goes nuclear, it’s a war that no human being will survive.

Frankly, I do not envy President Trump. I would not want to have to take on these problems.

But he led us to peace and prosperity before, just a few short years ago. I’m confident he can do it again.

Here’s to a great 4 years. Let’s Make America Great Again! 🇺🇸
