How Trump’s ‘golden age’ rhetoric could redefine America

The golden hair. The golden penthouse. Yes, he turned down the golden toilet, but surely Donald Trump is to be believed when he offers Americans a new golden age.

Who’s on board? Not the Guardian — which recently rage-quit X — where one column warns, “Trump’s ‘golden age of America’ could be an unrestrained imperial presidency. Emboldened by a strong mandate,” the paper laments, “the Republican will bring his dark Maga vision to the US with little resistance.”

Pride still comes before a fall, and as even the wisest ancient pagans remind us, the pinnacle of civilization typically tips all too fast under the weight of decadent luxury into rack and ruin.

But the golden age pitch is also getting more serious and perhaps unexpected blowback — from certain corners of the anti-globalist right. Elon Musk’s choice to caption his post celebrating Trump’s election win with the phrase Novus Ordo Seclorum — one of the two Latin mottos on the Great Seal of the United States — has set off skeptics worried that the rise of an antichrist might be around the corner.

“This phrase resonates with the term ‘Golden Age,’ which has been referenced by Donald Trump and is echoed by various new age teachers and high-degree Freemasons, who at higher levels, are known to worship Lucifer,” one popular X account warns. “These expressions align with Biblical warnings of a great deception, where people are described as welcoming what is referred to as the beast system with open arms.”

It’s always alarmingly easy to see how the world’s most powerful people could give in to what must be the enormous temptation to sell their souls for control of the planet. So far, Musk’s biggest ambitions concern not Earth but Mars, population zero. And both he and Trump are assembling a governing team focused on avoiding world war and countering China’s bid for global domination. They’re also both friendly to Christians — a stark contrast to many leaders of the other political team.

Nevertheless, we’d do well to carefully discern how to avoid paving our way to hell with intentions as good as gold. Pride still comes before a fall, and as even the wisest ancient pagans remind us, the pinnacle of civilization typically tips all too fast under the weight of decadent luxury into rack and ruin.

They say there’s a tweet for everything — sorry, a post — and in this case, it’s true. In typical X dot com fashion, it’s a half-joke with a deeper meaning written by a pseud: “Golden age Hollywood actor’s wikipedia biographies are like, ‘he worked as a train conductor, ranch hand, denim model, and itinerant drifter before being drafted to serve in WWII. When he came back he decided to become an actor and two weeks later was discovered by Fritz Lang.’”

Interesting, isn’t it? How radically different is that “golden age” culture from the one that scares critics of the gilded empire across the political spectrum? Doubtless, the Hollywood golden age itself was one all too festooned with excess and corruption. But the films themselves, which give the era its name, brought a refined yet accessible beauty and grace to the public — and they did it by welcoming ordinary people with real experience living in the rough-and-tumble world onto the screen.

The point isn’t that we ought to romanticize a bygone age or value the appearance of virtue over the reality of vice. It’s that when Americans circulate fruitfully with one another, that energy enlivens and elevates our institutions, setting fresh standards for our social, cultural, and economic life.

I often go back to Alexis de Tocqueville when measuring the pace and scope of change in America — sometimes what seems to be a new twist is something he saw coming long ago — and, in that spirit, here’s one of my favorite of his observations, as timely and instructive now as ever.

Men connect the greatness of their idea of unity with means, God with ends: hence this idea of greatness, as men conceive it, leads us into infinite littleness. To compel all men to follow the same course towards the same object is a human notion; — to introduce infinite variety of action, but so combined that all these acts lead by a multitude of different courses to the accomplishment of one great design, is a conception of the Deity. The human idea of unity is almost always barren; the divine idea pregnant with abundant results. Men think they manifest their greatness by simplifying the means they use; but it is the purpose of God which is simple — his means are infinitely varied.

Now, there’s a MAGA vision everyone should be able to get behind.

Court freezes Onion deal for Infowars: Alex Jones exclusively responds on ‘Glenn Beck Program’

As our nation looks forward to turning the page into a new era following the clear mandate for freedom in the recent election, the existing regime is not going quietly into the night.

Alex Jones’ Infowars has allegedly been acquired by the satire site the Onion in a court-ordered bankruptcy auction. Developments on Friday have cast doubt on the legitimacy of this acquisition, however.

Thanks to X, he moved studios and was able to immediately start broadcasting again.

On Thursday, there were reports that the Onion had acquired Alex Jones’ Infowars. By late Friday morning, Alex Jones released a statement alleging that the auction for his assets was fake and that there is now an ongoing criminal investigation into the proceedings. Infowars.com is once again live after being taken down from Thursday into Friday morning.

According to
BBC News, the Onion bought Infowars with the support of the families of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims, who won a $1.5 billion defamation lawsuit over Jones’ claims surrounding the school shooting. Financial details have not been disclosed.

Ben Collins, the CEO of the Onion, is
reported to have said, “The Onion has a long history of helping the American public navigate some of the most difficult moments in American life, from our historic issue after 9/11 to our groundbreaking reportage after every American mass shooting. In that tradition, we hope the Sandy Hook families will be able to marvel at the cosmic joke we will soon make of Infowars.com.”

On X, Collins
posted, “We’re planning on making a very stupid website.”

Everytown for Gun Safety, the largest gun violence prevention organization, will
reportedly be “the exclusive launch advertiser for the site in the new venture.” John Feinblatt, the president of Everytown for Gun Safety, said, “It’s fitting that a platform once used to profit off of tragedy will be a tool of education, hence our multiyear advertising commitment to this new venture.”

He went on: “We’re proud to be a part of what comes next, not only in terms of staunching the flow of hurtful misinformation, but also for the potential this new venture has to help Everytown reach new audiences ready to hold the gun industry accountable for contributing to our nation’s gun violence epidemic.”

It is almost poetic that a gun control organization is partnering with the Onion in this attack on free speech. The First Amendment was listed first for a reason, yet the Second Amendment is listed immediately afterward as a fail-safe in the event of egregious violations of the First Amendment. Keeping that in mind, the fight for the First Amendment is not over.

Alex Jones posted a video
update on his X account, saying, “This is a total attack on free speech.” He also said, “They want to silence the American people, but we’re not gonna be silenced.” He then directed his viewers to follow the Alex Jones Network on X, where he will continue to speak out against what is happening to Infowars.

However, Jones
posted later in the day Thursday that the auction was not legitimate: “Infowars was not sold to the The Onion. I am breaking the news now.” According to the Independent, the judge involved in the case, District Judge Christopher Lopez, said, “No one should feel comfortable with the results of this auction.”

Since this news story broke, it was revealed that the auction’s process was questionable and is now under review. As the Independent reports, bidders were required to submit their best offers, yet the amounts of these offers were not disclosed. “The trustee who ran the auction said the total amount was a better deal overall but came in under First United American’s [Alex Jones’ proxy] $3.5 million offer.”

Therefore, the auction results are paused. The judge explained the next steps in this case: “We’re all going to an evidentiary hearing, and I’m going to figure out exactly what happened.” He added: “I personally don’t care who wins the auction. … I care about process and transparency.”

The shadiness of these developments in this story seem to confirm the true motivations behind this acquisition. Many opponents of Alex Jones take issue with him being able to speak at all, it seems. For example, an NBC anchor discussing the acquisition
said, “His X account will remain — for now, at least.” While this reporter is not related to the case, it seems to be implied that the main issue is not the legal acquisition of Infowars as an asset in the defamation case but rather Alex Jones’ ability to speak out on a platform at all.

— (@)

Today, Alex Jones called “The Glenn Beck Program” to break down some of the latest developments. Jones alleges the court is trying to prevent him from broadcasting in the future. He also alleges to Beck that there was a secret sale to subvert the auction and alleges a deep state plot to take him off the air forever.

The social media landscape has completely changed the idea of a platform, which means that even the most vindictive attacks on a well-established platform are somewhat ineffective. While the defamation lawsuit and the subsequent auction for Jones’ assets were a blow to Jones’ image and security, his ability to continue speaking freely is relatively unchanged. Thanks to X, he moved studios and was able to start broadcasting again immediately.

Now, the relative ease that Jones had in moving his platform and broadcast will reveal something very interesting in our political landscape going forward. Anyone who has a problem with this fact is fundamentally opposed to free speech. Free speech and the First Amendment are the first bulwarks against tyranny.

This is a developing story that will be updated.

Don Lemon dramatically quits X; gets owned on abortion by a random man in the park

There’s nothing Democrats love more than making a scene, and Don Lemon is no exception.

In a recent video post and hand-typed letter, Lemon announced to the world that he would sadly be leaving the social media platform X.

“I’ve loved connecting with all of you on X, but it’s time for me to leave the platform,” he began in his letter. “I once believed it was a place for honest debate and discussion, transparency, and free speech, but I now feel it does not serve that purpose.”

Lemon also quoted a Washington Post article explaining that X’s recent decision to change the terms has turned it into a “hub for conservatives, which experts say could make it easier for X to shield itself from litigation and punish critics.”

He finished his devastating statement by noting that he would be on the new social media platform BlueSky, where his Democratic friends can join him. The ex-anchor has also been quite active on TikTok, where he’s been posting man on the street-style videos — and some of them feature some clear self-owns.

“Women I’ve been talking to are really, really concerned, and they’re emotional, and I think a lot of them have a right to be,” Lemon said to a man in one short interview.

“Politicians aren’t perfect, they’re imperfect like everybody else. Trump’s rhetoric isn’t for everybody, his style isn’t for everybody, we got a lot of good things done under Trump,” the man responded to Lemon’s surprise.

“A woman’s right to choose is removed under Trump,” Lemon countered.

“That’s not the only issue in this world,” the interviewee shot back. “A percentage of the female vote went up 2%. So are those women crazy? I mean, it’s not 50%, but it’s high 40s, and he got that. So ask those women why they voted for Trump. So clearly, it wasn’t just abortion was the issue.”

“They’re concerned about the broken border; they’re concerned about crime; they’re concerned about inflation; they’re concerned about a lot of other things. So women are not one-dimensional. Men are not one-dimensional. And so if you’re upset about abortion, great. If that’s your prime issue, then go live in a state that’s pro-choice,” the interviewee continued.

“That’s easy for you to say as a man,” Lemon countered.

“Well, dude, it’s easy for me to say a lot of things. Sure, I’m not a woman, that’s why I don’t opine on abortion,” the interviewee said, nearly laughing.

Pat Gray of “Pat Gray Unleashed” is impressed, noting that “he just owned Don Lemon.”

“He posted that on his own site,” Keith Malinak says through shocked laughter. “Kudos to rando guy in the park.”

Donald Trump achieves rare feat with radical feminists after his big win

One of the greatest ironies that Donald Trump’s election victory helped expose is the futility of radical feminist ideology.

After Trump’s win, self-styled feminists — who, for some reason, believed the election was a referendum on “bodily autonomy” and the right to kill their unborn children through abortion — boasted on social media that they’re now going to embrace traditional values in sex and relationships.

Well, kind of.

This reaction not only promotes conservative family values, but it naturally reduces abortion. A win-win for everyone.

While feminists aren’t promoting traditional family values
per se, they are embracing key traditional values including abstinence and being intentional about partner selection.

A social media post that went viral on the morning after Election Day encapsulated the ironic collapse of radical feminist ideology in the wake of Trump’s victory.

“I am very much a radical feminist, I just don’t talk about it much. but I am literally so serious. guard your womb, SERIOUSLY. if [sic] you choose to be with a male, make sure he actually values & respects you at a human f***** being. this is ridiculous,” the post read.

— (@)

To recap: Because Trump won the election, feminists are now promoting the intentional decision to guard their wombs. In practical terms, this means not having random sexual encounters and engaging in sex only in the context of a deeply committed relationship — ideally marriage — in which both partners share the same outlook on life.

This reaction not only promotes virtue, but it naturally reduces abortion. A win-win for everyone.

The tremendous irony, of course, is that had feminists always vowed to exercise such discipline over their bodies and in their relationships, abortion likely would not have been their primary voting issue because they would not have needed to use abortion as birth control.

Not only are radical feminists accidentally promoting traditional values that negate the reason for nearly all abortions, but
many are embracing the so-called 4B movement.

A vestige of South Korean culture in the 2010s, the 4B movement embraces four fundamental tenets:

No sex.
No giving birth.
No dating.
No marriage.

The popularity of the movement exploded on social media after Trump’s victory, with women posting videos of themselves on TikTok pledging to become the movement’s newest adherents.

One woman who
spoke with the New York Times said she felt compelled to adopt the 4B movement because she needed to put “my best interest into my hands.”

Those interests, it turns out, include not having random sexual encounters, choosing not to engage in relationships with uncommitted partners who do not share similar moral beliefs, and removing the possibility of abortions.

On Election Day, Trump pulled off many feats that his detractors thought were impossible, including winning the popular vote, winning a significant share of nonwhite voters, and significantly narrowing margins in deep-blue bastions. But who could have predicted that his victory also would expose the shallowness of feminist ideology while driving feminists to embrace conservative beliefs on sex and relationships?

Conservatives everywhere give you thanks, Mr. President-elect.

Race merchants think ‘whiteness’ explains their beatdown at the polls

Judging by the analysis on cable news since the election, Democrats seem determined to lose every presidential race for years to come.

The party should be reflecting deeply after Kamala Harris spent more than $1 billion and secured endorsements from celebrities and billionaires, only to lose to Donald Trump. Democrats should be asking how a man they’ve called a fascist, racist Nazi sympathizer managed to win support from such a diverse group of voters.

If progressives had any sense, they would learn to listen to what people say instead of projecting their own biases onto millions of Americans they do not know and do not understand.

Instead of addressing their mistakes, Democrats and their cable news allies continue to focus on the identity politics that voters rejected. Several analysts have claimed they know why Trump won, but their explanation ignores issues like economics, inflation, crime, or immigration.

No, they say the reason comes down to one word: whiteness.

MSNBC contributor Eddie Glaude made this claim during a recent election postmortem. With intense passion and conviction, the Princeton professor insisted he could not see any other explanation. Though he never defined “whiteness,” he was certain it’s what motivated the masses.

I shared his video on social media, telling him he sounded more like a religious cleric than a political analyst. He’s not alone in this rhetoric. While progressives have become more secular over the past few decades, they still exhibit religious impulses. Their discourse on “whiteness” reflects their view of original sin. They have major and minor “prophets” of race and are eager to evangelize unbelievers on topics like “white privilege,” “systemic racism,” and “white supremacy.” They view dissenters with contempt, as seen in their criticism of Latino voters who hopped on the Trump train.

They see nonbelievers not as people to persuade but as sinners to redeem.

This fixation on “whiteness” is not only simplistic but also fuels racial conflict that the left is ill-equipped to handle. A year ago, a black Christian woman sparked controversy in the evangelical community when she told a room full of white women that they must “divest from whiteness,” which she described as rooted in plunder, theft, slavery, and genocide. I’m no minister, but I know my Bible well enough to understand that no group — regardless of race, ethnicity, or nationality — holds a monopoly on sin.

I remember thinking then, as I do now, that the public would have a fit if a white commentator blamed “blackness” for voters’ choices in this election. Conservatives who claimed “blackness” is rooted in self-destruction and broken families would be shunned and shamed, not celebrated as prophetic truth-tellers.

This is why impartiality is a crucial ingredient for healthy discourse in the public square. An honest person should apply the same standards to friends and opponents alike. Moreover, the way we speak about other groups is how we should expect others to speak about us.

This principle is nonpartisan and non-ideological. If you need an extra therapy session because a white conservative criticizes a black liberal on legitimate grounds, you shouldn’t write headlines labeling angry white men as the most frightening people in America.

People pushing identity politics are a cancerous tumor on our body politic. Not only do they reduce Americans to their immutable traits, but they also create the perfect breeding ground for extremist views. Put simply, when you “sow” Robin DiAngelo, you will “reap” David Duke.

This is not unique to white people. Rejection of moderation almost always leads to radicalism.

Imagine a 17-year-old black kid in Birmingham, Alabama, in 1964 watching his parents going out to a civil rights march to protest segregation. Having learned about the First Amendment in school, he assumes law enforcement officials will respect his parents and that their grievances will be heard by their elected officials.

But when he turns on TV that night, he sees them being sprayed with water hoses, attacked by dogs, and beaten over the head with clubs by police. When that teen sees how the white people in power treated his parents — Christians dressed in their Sunday best — no one should be surprised if he is drawn to the more militant posture of the Black Panthers.

The same principle applies today. Young white men have been told that they are the cause of all the country’s problems and are constantly painted as racists only concerned about maintaining power. They see how every white conservative, from George W. Bush to Mitt Romney, is called racist or compared to a Nazi at some point.

They see how perfectly mediocre academics get rich by pushing seminars on “white fragility” and “white rage.” Most are not nearly as race-obsessed as the liberals on television, but some are ripe for the picking by white identitarians who will affirm both their race and sex and won’t attack them for how they were born.

The left does not want to hear that analysis, but that doesn’t make it any less true. When you open the door to the demons of identity, you have no idea what’s coming through that portal. If progressives had any sense, they would learn to listen to what people say instead of projecting their own biases onto millions of Americans they do not know, have never met, and do not understand.

Democrats have a choice. They can either accept the fact that their radicalism on race, sex, and identity has driven away voters or continue to blame “whiteness” and bigotry for their defeat.

This may be one of the last elections in which their silly theories will be taken seriously. Donald Trump earned about 55% of the Latino male vote, roughly 20 percentage points more than in 2020. While he didn’t make significant gains with black men nationwide, there were regional differences in the support he received. For example, about 25% of black men in Pennsylvania voted for Trump. If Democrats don’t do some honest self-reflection, the “white supremacists” they criticize on the right will be more diverse than their own party.

Multiple states to BAN motorhome sales in latest EV tyranny

California is banning motorhomes.

No, not the dilapidated firetraps illegally parked in crime and drug-infested encampments throughout the state — some 10,000 in greater Los Angeles alone. Those are fine.

The regulations — which will effectively ban the sale of new motorhomes with a gross vehicle weight rating over 8,500 pounds — take effect January 1, 2025.

It’s new motorhomes — the kind that retirees might buy to live out their sunset years on the road — that the Golden State wants gone.

Starting in 2025, California’s Advanced Clean Trucks regulation, aimed at promoting zero-emission vehicles, creates a near-total “ban” on motorhome sales in the state.

And because Oregon, Washington, New York, New Jersey, and Massachusetts follow California Air Resource Board regulations, they’ll be putting the kibosh on motorhome sales as well.

As I said last week, this CARB needs cutting if we ever want to release ourselves from California’s draconian authority over what we can drive.

The ACT regulation mandates manufacturers of medium and heavy-duty vehicles to sell an increasing percentage of zero emissions vehicles each year.

The regulations — which will effectively ban the sale of new motorhomes with a gross vehicle weight rating over 8,500 pounds — take effect January 1, 2025.

Since 2020, the RV Industry Association has been asking CARB for exemptions from the ACT regulations, citing negative impact on motorhome manufacturers and dealers, to no avail.

Complicating the matter are two other recently-passed regulations: the Omnibus Low NOx rule and the Advanced Clean Fleets rule. Along with ACT, these rules seek the gradual replacement of medium- and heavy-duty vehicles with zero emission vehicles by 2036.

CARB also has its focus on off-road vehicles with the Small Off-Road Engine regulation, which threatens spark-ignition engines on generators. So no offroad vehicles or gas-powered generators?

This has gone way too far.

These rules also go into effect in Vermont for 2026 model year motorhomes. And the rules take effect in Colorado, Maryland, New Mexico, and Rhode Island with the 2027 model year.

Get ready to go electric whether you like it or not. If you have an older motor home, it will need to be smogged twice a year. More regulations and more money out of your pocket.

This all happened because of California’s vote in August to ban the sale of new gasoline-fueled cars by 2035.

One state controlling the other 49 is clearly unconstitutional. We need to fight this regulation at a federal level.

We’ll keep you posted, as usual.

Remembering — and rejecting — the right-wing doomers

It’s been more than a week since the 2024 election. Arizona and California are still inexplicably counting ballots, but the results are clear: Donald Trump and the Republicans crushed.

While many commentators have already shared their wish lists and recommendations, now is also a good time to remember the prognosticators who got their predictions terribly wrong.

This time around, the doomers posed a far bigger threat to Trump’s victory than the NeverTrump crowd.

The main offenders were those in the Democratic machine who actually believed their own exaggerations, along with their followers who bought into the crazy leftist rhetoric. Many truly thought Trump was a fascist who would overturn democracy and that Kamala Harris was the next Barack Obama — as if that were somehow a good thing.

Karine Jean-Pierre admitted that this messaging wasn’t meant to be taken seriously and that people are simply expected to forget it. Yet this hasn’t stopped the drama queens from shedding public tears and creating “coping spaces.” Much of this behavior seems performative, but many on the left genuinely fell for the propaganda. As I argue elsewhere, this needs to change, as it not only distorts and polarizes our politics but also perpetuates mental illness.

Another group, less well known, also harbored serious doubts about Trump’s chances. These were the influencers and fringe pundits who had already lost faith in the democratic process and believed the system was rigged beyond repair.

Some of their despair seemed justified, considering the 2020 and 2022 elections. In 2020, Democrats pushed for universal mail-in ballots, changed voting laws, and influenced the news media to promote Joe Biden, who spent much of his campaign in his basement, into the Oval Office. Many pointed to the 20-million vote gap between Biden and Harris as proof of widespread ballot stuffing and fraud in the last election. However, this gap seems to be narrowing daily and can be explained without invoking mass fraud narratives.

The 2022 election, otherwise known as the red wave that never was, also fueled conservative conspiracy theories after candidates with brain damage and those running their own election efforts won. Some blamed poor candidates, like Dr. Oz and Herschel Walker, but it’s fair to say something seems off in states like Arizona, Georgia, and Nevada. That said, the 2022 results didn’t exactly signal impending disaster for the American republic or a totalitarian takeover by the left.

When Trump announced his run for president again this year, these right-wing doomers were primed to forfeit before 2024 even began. This wasn’t mere jadedness from some setbacks in the last two elections; these were false prophets telling patriotic Americans to give up on their country and prepare for the worst. In their view, everyone was a communist infiltrator, a traitor, a grifter, or an utter fool. They were telling people that the push to vote early was all a ruse to help Democrats win, that the “Chinese-run” Dominion machines would erase Republican votes, and that “if anyone thinks the Democrats are desperate now, just think of what they’ll do when the election season really starts happening.”

Beyond this, they were predicting mass riots across the country that would plunge the country into a civil war if Trump were to win.

Even though some of this paranoia had a basis in reality, culminating in two assassination attempts, much of it was just intended to demoralize conservatives and attract paid subscribers (“Follow me if you want the truth about this country …”). This time around, the doomers posed a far bigger threat to Trump’s victory than the NeverTrump crowd.

Fortunately, enough Americans turned out to vote anyway. Despite the warnings, some voted early, some mailed in their ballots, and others voted on Election Day. Trump’s lawyers and campaign organizers worked tirelessly to prevent any undue interference. Everything went smoothly, and as some of us predicted, the fallout has been minimal. Americans are ready to move on and look forward to better days.

One of the first orders of business should be to fix the current election system by requiring voter ID, in-person voting, and paper ballots. The next priority should be to purge the doomers and crackpots from the conservative movement.

Currently, they are the biggest obstacle to the conservative movement’s legitimacy and effectiveness. Although they played a role in removing establishment figures from the old GOP, those dinosaurs are rapidly becoming extinct. It’s time to bring new life and optimism to America.

Trump appoints Gaetz and Gabbard — but are they good picks? Democrats don’t think so

Donald Trump is wasting no time building his team, and his recent appointments have fueled an absolute meltdown on the left — specifically his appointments of Tulsi Gabbard and Matt Gaetz.

Gabbard was appointed to the position of director of national intelligence, while Gaetz was appointed attorney general by the president-elect.

“What’s interesting about Gabbard,” Stu Burguiere of “Stu Does America” comments, “is she has come a long way, but she’s come a long way in certain categories.”

“She was very, very liberal, approaching a socialist. I mean, she was supporting Bernie Sanders for president. She’s come a long way on things like that. She has not really moved at all on her views when it comes to foreign policy and the military-industrial complex, if you will,” he explains.

However, Gabbard still must be confirmed by the Senate, and Burguiere believes that might present an uphill battle.

“She’s also probably a little risky to actually get confirmed. I don’t think the Democrats have too warm feelings for her any more, and there are a bunch of those old-school Republicans who will not like her approach to foreign affairs,” Burguiere says, noting that John Bolton has called her a “threat to national security.”

As for Gaetz, Burguiere believes it will be “an interesting ride” for him to actually get into the position, as Democrats are up in arms at the appointment and continue to accuse him of “sex trafficking.”

“Is he a good pick? He will do the things that Trump wants him to do, and he will be very aggressive in doing them. And you can kind of understand the thought process here, right? Bring somebody in who is going to go balls to the wall and go into the DOJ and fire basically everybody,” Burguiere says.

“Gaetz will do it, but he’ll do it in a very splashy way, and that’s something obviously Donald Trump kind of likes, usually. So we will see how this goes,” he adds.
