Archetype analysis The Influencer A bold tech founder and investor who uses a megaphone to shape public conversation on tech, media, and politics. He mixes entrepreneurial insight with unapologetic hot takes that rally a large, loyal audience. His feed blends product instincts, culture wars, and pro-entrepreneurship advocacy.
đ„ Roast You tweet like every take is a crusade and every crusade needs an audience, congrats, youâve turned 'opinionated founder' into a contact sport. At this rate your hot takes will need their own venture round.
âĄïž Nice achievement Built a commanding personal platform: 1.46M followers and multiple viral posts that shape national conversations, proving he can convert tech credibility into cultural and political influence.
đ Life's purpose To amplify ideas, back bold leaders and startups, and tilt public debate toward free speech, market-driven solutions, and pro-entrepreneurial policies, using his platform to mobilize supporters and influence outcomes.
đŹ Values and Beliefs Values free expression, skeptical scrutiny of mainstream media and institutions, strong support for tech-driven progress and disruptive leadership, and a conviction that influential voices should be used to defend allies and causes he believes in.
đȘ Strength Massive reach and high engagement, a clear point of view that rallies a devoted audience, credibility as a tech founder/investor, and the ability to turn single posts into national conversations.
𫣠Weakness Polarizing tone that can alienate broad swaths of potential followers, tendency to conflate strong opinion with fact which invites controversy, and a messaging style that amplifies backlash as readily as support.
âĄïž Growth audience tips To grow on X, lean into structured storytelling: post regular, value-packed threads that mix startup lessons with policy insights; host live Spaces or AMAs to deepen engagement; collaborate with diverse voices to expand reach beyond the base; use short clips and visuals to boost shareability; and test timing/format with analytics to reduce controversy while maximizing follow-and-retweet growth.
đ Bonus Fun fact: Heâs a prolific broadcaster, 14,060 tweets, 1.46M followers, and posts that have gone massively viral (one recent thread racked up ~42 million views). He follows ~3,468 accounts, so heâs equal parts megaphone and curator.
Top tweets of David SacksI KNOW A HERO WHEN I SEE ONE
The Washington Post names me along with @elonmusk as one of several businessmen who are using their âmegaphonesâ to spread ânarrativesâ about the assassination attempt on President Trump.
Iâm not sure what ânarrativesâ theyâre referring to, but I know what I saw, and I know what the crowd in Butler witnessed live.
At it turns out, my father-in-law lives in Pennsylvania and he was at the rally on Saturday. When the shots rang out and Trump went down, he said pandemonium broke out around him. Everyone feared the worst.Â
But then Trump rose. Covered in his own blood, resisting the secret serviceâs efforts to whisk him away to safety, Trump raised his fist defiantly, and the crowd could see him say: âFight. Fight. Fight.â
Immediately the fear of the crowd dissipated, the chaotic uncertainty lifted, and it was replaced with steely resolve. The crowd responded back as one: âUSA, USA, USA!âÂ
This is not a ânarrative.â It is the truth. Trump stood defiant in the face of an assassinâs bullet. There is no way to fake courage like that.
It was more important for Trump to let the crowd know that he was unbowed and unbroken than to be taken to safety.
Donald Trump has already been in the fight of his life for months, as vindictive Democrats seek to imprison him, but on this day he came within inches of losing it. He has risked everything for this country.Â
It is now up to us, the American people, to show him that he does not stand alone. Let us reject the lies, the hoaxes, the hate and the division that the media has spread about this brave man, and support his resounding victory in November.
WHY TRUMP WON
While the legacy media has a meltdown searching for hitherto undiagnosed psychoses in the electorate to explain its embrace of a Hitlerian strongman, the truth is much simpler than their fictions.
This election is a reminder that after all the manufactured drama and overheated rhetoric, politics is still about issues. Whether you agreed with him or not, Trump ran a substantive campaign based on issues like the border, inflation, crime, and war.
Harris ran on vibes, celebrity endorsements, name-calling (âconvicted felonâ, âfascistâ), debunked hoaxes (âvery fine peopleâ), and platitudes (âdemocracyâ). She would neither defend the Biden-Harris record nor say what she would do differently. When she did talk about specific issues, they were often stolen from Trump (child tax credit; no tax on tips; border funding).
On the one issue where Democrats had an advantage, abortion, Trump deftly got ahead of the issue by rejecting a national ban and removing problematic language from the GOP platform. Harris wore out the issue by blatantly lying about Trumpâs position and by exhibiting her own partyâs extremism (nobody needed to see an abortion truck at the DNC).
While Trump expanded his coalition with MAHA (health) and DOGE (government efficiency), Harris concluded her ersatz campaign by going all in on demonizing her opponent, pretending Madison Square Garden was a Nazi convention.
The fact that voters saw through it should be reassuring, even if you donât agree with the result. Voters want to know how a candidate will give them a better life and, increasingly, they have learned to tune out the rest as noise.
While the legacy media creates excuses and impugns the motives of voters to explain why Trump won, the reason is simple: Trump is the candidate who spoke to votersâ concerns directly.
Itâs the issues, stupid.
Why Iâm Backing President Trump
As many press accounts have reported, Iâm hosting a fundraising event for President Donald J. Trump at my home in San Francisco this evening.
Over the last couple of years, I have hosted events for presidential candidates Ron DeSantis, Vivek Ramaswamy, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., as well as several Congressional figures in both major parties. I give to many, but endorse few.
But today I am giving my endorsement to our 45th President, Donald J. Trump, to be our 47th President. My reasons rest on four main issues that I think are vital to American prosperity, security, and stability â issues where the Biden administration has veered badly off course and where I believe President Trump can lead us back.
1. The Economy
President Biden took over an economy that was already recovering strongly from the Covid-induced shock of Q2 2020. Demand had roared back, and employment had recovered. But he chose to keep priming the pump with unnecessary Covid stimulus â almost $2 trillion of it, passed on a straight party-line vote in March of 2021, with trillions more to follow for âinfrastructure,â green energy, and âinflation reduction.â
Biden did this despite early warnings from former Clinton Treasury Secretary Larry Summers that it could lead to inflation. When the inflation came, the Biden administration dismissed it as âtransitory.â In fact, inflation still remains persistently high even after the fastest interest-rate tightening cycle in memory.
As a result of Bidenâs inflation, average Americans have lost roughly a fifth of their purchasing power over the last few years. Moreover, any American who needs a mortgage, car loan, or credit card debt faces much higher interest costs, which further constrain their purchasing power.
Itâs no different for our federal government, which now must devote over a trillion dollars annually to interest on its $34 trillion debt, a massive sum thatâs been growing by a trillion dollars every hundred days. This trajectory is unsustainable, yet Bidenâs 2025 budget calls for even higher spending.
Growth has already slowed from 3.4 percent in the last quarter of 2023 to an anemic 1.3 percent in the first quarter of this year. We canât afford another four years of Bidenomics.
2. Foreign Policy / Ukraine War
President Trump left office with ISIS defeated, the Abraham Accords signed, and no new wars raging on the global stage. Three and a half years later, the world is on fire. President Biden has made several strategic choices that have contributed to this situation.
In his first year in office, Biden unnecessarily alienated the Saudis before realizing that they are an indispensable partner in the Middle East. He also presided over a chaotic withdrawal of our troops from Afghanistan (right policy, abysmal execution).
But his biggest blunder by far has been in Ukraine. His administration immediately began pushing for Ukraineâs admission to NATO, despite no unanimity among the existing NATO members that such a move was a good idea. When this predictably antagonized the Russians, the Biden administration doubled down at every turn, insisting that âNATOâs door is open, and will remain openâ with respect to Ukraine. Biden himself baited Russia when he said he didnât âaccept anybodyâs red lines.â
After the invasion, there was still a chance to stop the war in its early weeks before much loss of life and destruction had occurred. Russian and Ukrainian negotiators had signed a draft agreement in Istanbul that would have seen Russia retreat to its pre-invasion borders in exchange for Ukrainian neutrality. But the Biden administration rejected that deal as well as General Milleyâs advice to seek a diplomatic solution in November 2022.
As the war of attrition grinds on, the Ukrainians face ever-mounting casualties and infrastructure damage. Still, President Biden keeps allowing the conflict to escalate and risk World War III. Every escalation that Biden initially resisted â Abrams tanks, F-16âs, ATACMs, allowing Ukraine to hit targets in Russia â he has eventually acquiesced to. There is just one more escalation to go: NATO troops on the ground fighting Russia directly. And our European allies like Emmanuel Macron are already spoiling for exactly this scenario.
With Biden, our choices are limited to fighting the proxy war to the last Ukrainian, or fighting Russia ourselves. President Trump has said he wants the dying in Ukraine to stop, and that he will seek to end the war through a negotiated settlement. Ukraine will no longer be able to get the deal we talked them out of in April 2022, but we can still save Ukraine as an independent nation and avert world war.
3. The Border
As an immigrant to the United States myself, I certainly believe in Americaâs history of strengthening its ranks by welcoming talented people from other nations seeking freedom and opportunity. But that promise requires an orderly process of legal immigration that emphasizes skills and the principles of American citizenship. This was the preferred policy under President Trump.
What Biden ushered in was a de facto open border policy. On his first day in office, he repealed President Trumpâs executive orders restricting illegal immigration and stopped construction of a border wall, selling off parts of it for scrap metal. This quickly resulted in a massive spike in illegal border crossings and a chaotic and dangerous situation on our southern border.
President Biden (along with the hapless Kamala Harris and the malevolent Homeland Security Chief Alejandro Mayorkas) responded to growing concerns by gaslighting the American public, saying there was no problem at the border despite constant videos of masses of people sprinting across it.
When the situation became too dire to ignore or deny, Biden claimed he didnât have the executive authority to do anything about it and blamed Republicans for not sending him legislation. But this week, facing abysmal polling numbers on this issue, Biden suddenly discovered he has executive authority after all. The order he signed is a tepid, too little-too late effort to slow the tidal wave of illegal immigration in time for the election. But Biden has shown he is not serious on this issue. If he wins a second term, the open border policy will resume, and tens of millions more illegals will stream across the border.
4. Lawfare
A bedrock of the political stability weâve enjoyed in America over the last 250 years is that we donât accept attempts to jail political opponents in order to win an election. Yet Biden has pushed for selective and unprecedented prosecutions of his once and future opponent from the moment he assumed office.
Merrick Garland took a long look at the January 6 situation and didnât see a path to prosecute Trump, even after a one-sided Congressional committee sent a highly-prejudiced referral to his Justice Department. Press stories then appeared describing Bidenâs frustration with Garlandâs reticence. The result was Jack Smith at the federal level and Alvin Bragg and Fani Willis at the state level. All have pursued cases based on novel legal theories heretofore unseen and designed to get Trump. In the NY case, Bragg resurrected a dead book-keeping misdemeanor into 34 felonies by claiming it was in the service of a second crime that he never defined and that the judge never insisted the jury unanimously agree on.
My immigration to this country as a young boy happened because my parents disagreed with the political system of their home country. That government sought to solve its political disagreements by imprisoning its political enemies. What a sad irony that the lawfare we escaped has now reared its ugly head in America of all places.
President Biden keeps insisting that a return of President Trump to the White House threatens democracy. But his administration is the one that has colluded with tech platforms to censor the Internet, used the intelligence community to cover up his son Hunterâs laptop, and pursued elective prosecutions against his political opponents.
Conclusion: The A/B Test
The voters have experienced four years of President Trump and four years of President Biden. In tech, we call this an A/B test. With respect to economic policy, foreign policy, border policy, and legal fairness, Trump performed better. He is the President who deserves a second term.

The crowd responded back as one: âUSA, USA, USA!â \n\nThis is not a ânarrative.â It is the truth. Trump stood defiant in the face of an assassinâs bullet. There is no way to fake courage like that. \n\nIt was more important for Trump to let the crowd know that he was unbowed and unbroken than to be taken to safety. \n\nDonald Trump has already been in the fight of his life for months, as vindictive Democrats seek to imprison him, but on this day he came within inches of losing it. He has risked everything for this country. \n\nIt is now up to us, the American people, to show him that he does not stand alone. Let us reject the lies, the hoaxes, the hate and the division that the media has spread about this brave man, and support his resounding victory in November.","in_reply_to_user_id_str":null,"in_reply_to_status_id_str":null,"is_quote_status":0,"is_ai":null,"ai_score":null,"source":"scraping","fetched_at":null,"edit_history_tweet_ids":null,"poll_10min_at":null,"poll_3day_at":null,"poll_count":0,"poll_complete":0},{"bookmarked":false,"display_text_range":[0,231],"entities":{"hashtags":[],"symbols":[],"timestamps":[],"urls":[],"user_mentions":[{"id_str":"44196397","name":"Elon

Whether you agreed with him or not, Trump ran a substantive campaign based on issues like the border, inflation, crime, and war. \n\nHarris ran on vibes, celebrity endorsements, name-calling (âconvicted felonâ, âfascistâ), debunked hoaxes (âvery fine peopleâ), and platitudes (âdemocracyâ). She would neither defend the Biden-Harris record nor say what she would do differently. When she did talk about specific issues, they were often stolen from Trump (child tax credit; no tax on tips; border funding).\n\nOn the one issue where Democrats had an advantage, abortion, Trump deftly got ahead of the issue by rejecting a national ban and removing problematic language from the GOP platform. Harris wore out the issue by blatantly lying about Trumpâs position and by exhibiting her own partyâs extremism (nobody needed to see an abortion truck at the DNC).\n\nWhile Trump expanded his coalition with MAHA (health) and DOGE (government efficiency), Harris concluded her ersatz campaign by going all in on demonizing her opponent, pretending Madison Square Garden was a Nazi convention. \n\nThe fact that voters saw through it should be reassuring, even if you donât agree with the result. Voters want to know how a candidate will give them a better life and, increasingly, they have learned to tune out the rest as noise. \n\nWhile the legacy media creates excuses and impugns the motives of voters to explain why Trump won, the reason is simple: Trump is the candidate who spoke to votersâ concerns directly.\n\nItâs the issues, stupid.","in_reply_to_user_id_str":null,"in_reply_to_status_id_str":null,"is_quote_status":0,"is_ai":null,"ai_score":null,"source":"scraping","fetched_at":null,"edit_history_tweet_ids":null,"poll_10min_at":null,"poll_3day_at":null,"poll_count":0,"poll_complete":0},{"bookmarked":false,"display_text_range":[0,67],"entities":{"hashtags":[],"symbols":[],"timestamps":[],"urls":[],"user_mentions":[]},"favorited":false,"lang":"en","quoted_status_id_str":"1887958441995481374","quoted_status_permalink":{"url":"https://t.co/ImBRvVsTqm","expanded":"https://twitter.com/LeadingReport/status/1887958441995481374","display":"x.com/LeadingReport/âŠ"},"retweeted":false,"fact_check":null,"id":"1888069726720434195","view_count":42756833,"bookmark_count":1701,"created_at":1738985876000,"favorite_count":89991,"quote_count":588,"reply_count":2191,"retweet_count":8824,"user_id_str":"1137701","conversation_id_str":"1888069726720434195","full_text":"âSir, the Pentagon has failed another audit.â\n\nâSend in Big Balls.â","in_reply_to_user_id_str":null,"in_reply_to_status_id_str":null,"is_quote_status":1,"is_ai":null,"ai_score":null,"source":"scraping","fetched_at":null,"edit_history_tweet_ids":null,"poll_10min_at":null,"poll_3day_at":null,"poll_count":0,"poll_complete":0},{"bookmarked":false,"display_text_range":[0,275],"entities":{"hashtags":[],"symbols":[],"timestamps":[],"urls":[],"user_mentions":[]},"favorited":false,"lang":"en","retweeted":false,"fact_check":null,"id":"1798883245670707465","view_count":11066668,"bookmark_count":16463,"created_at":1717722162000,"favorite_count":87304,"quote_count":3491,"reply_count":11542,"retweet_count":23957,"user_id_str":"1137701","conversation_id_str":"1798883245670707465","full_text":"Why Iâm Backing President Trump\n\nAs many press accounts have reported, Iâm hosting a fundraising event for President Donald J. Trump at my home in San Francisco this evening.\n\nOver the last couple of years, I have hosted events for presidential candidates Ron DeSantis, Vivek Ramaswamy, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., as well as several Congressional figures in both major parties. I give to many, but endorse few.\n\nBut today I am giving my endorsement to our 45th President, Donald J. Trump, to be our 47th President. My reasons rest on four main issues that I think are vital to American prosperity, security, and stability â issues where the Biden administration has veered badly off course and where I believe President Trump can lead us back.\n\n1. The Economy\n\nPresident Biden took over an economy that was already recovering strongly from the Covid-induced shock of Q2 2020. Demand had roared back, and employment had recovered. But he chose to keep priming the pump with unnecessary Covid stimulus â almost $2 trillion of it, passed on a straight party-line vote in March of 2021, with trillions more to follow for âinfrastructure,â green energy, and âinflation reduction.â\n\nBiden did this despite early warnings from former Clinton Treasury Secretary Larry Summers that it could lead to inflation. When the inflation came, the Biden administration dismissed it as âtransitory.â In fact, inflation still remains persistently high even after the fastest interest-rate tightening cycle in memory.\n\nAs a result of Bidenâs inflation, average Americans have lost roughly a fifth of their purchasing power over the last few years. Moreover, any American who needs a mortgage, car loan, or credit card debt faces much higher interest costs, which further constrain their purchasing power.\n\nItâs no different for our federal government, which now must devote over a trillion dollars annually to interest on its $34 trillion debt, a massive sum thatâs been growing by a trillion dollars every hundred days. This trajectory is unsustainable, yet Bidenâs 2025 budget calls for even higher spending.\n\nGrowth has already slowed from 3.4 percent in the last quarter of 2023 to an anemic 1.3 percent in the first quarter of this year. We canât afford another four years of Bidenomics.\n\n2. Foreign Policy / Ukraine War\n\nPresident Trump left office with ISIS defeated, the Abraham Accords signed, and no new wars raging on the global stage. Three and a half years later, the world is on fire. President Biden has made several strategic choices that have contributed to this situation.\n\nIn his first year in office, Biden unnecessarily alienated the Saudis before realizing that they are an indispensable partner in the Middle East. He also presided over a chaotic withdrawal of our troops from Afghanistan (right policy, abysmal execution).\n\nBut his biggest blunder by far has been in Ukraine. His administration immediately began pushing for Ukraineâs admission to NATO, despite no unanimity among the existing NATO members that such a move was a good idea. When this predictably antagonized the Russians, the Biden administration doubled down at every turn, insisting that âNATOâs door is open, and will remain openâ with respect to Ukraine. Biden himself baited Russia when he said he didnât âaccept anybodyâs red lines.â\n\nAfter the invasion, there was still a chance to stop the war in its early weeks before much loss of life and destruction had occurred. Russian and Ukrainian negotiators had signed a draft agreement in Istanbul that would have seen Russia retreat to its pre-invasion borders in exchange for Ukrainian neutrality. But the Biden administration rejected that deal as well as General Milleyâs advice to seek a diplomatic solution in November 2022.\n\nAs the war of attrition grinds on, the Ukrainians face ever-mounting casualties and infrastructure damage. Still, President Biden keeps allowing the conflict to escalate and risk World War III. Every escalation that Biden initially resisted â Abrams tanks, F-16âs, ATACMs, allowing Ukraine to hit targets in Russia â he has eventually acquiesced to. There is just one more escalation to go: NATO troops on the ground fighting Russia directly. And our European allies like Emmanuel Macron are already spoiling for exactly this scenario.\n\nWith Biden, our choices are limited to fighting the proxy war to the last Ukrainian, or fighting Russia ourselves. President Trump has said he wants the dying in Ukraine to stop, and that he will seek to end the war through a negotiated settlement. Ukraine will no longer be able to get the deal we talked them out of in April 2022, but we can still save Ukraine as an independent nation and avert world war.\n\n3. The Border\n\nAs an immigrant to the United States myself, I certainly believe in Americaâs history of strengthening its ranks by welcoming talented people from other nations seeking freedom and opportunity. But that promise requires an orderly process of legal immigration that emphasizes skills and the principles of American citizenship. This was the preferred policy under President Trump.\n\nWhat Biden ushered in was a de facto open border policy. On his first day in office, he repealed President Trumpâs executive orders restricting illegal immigration and stopped construction of a border wall, selling off parts of it for scrap metal. This quickly resulted in a massive spike in illegal border crossings and a chaotic and dangerous situation on our southern border.\n\nPresident Biden (along with the hapless Kamala Harris and the malevolent Homeland Security Chief Alejandro Mayorkas) responded to growing concerns by gaslighting the American public, saying there was no problem at the border despite constant videos of masses of people sprinting across it.\n\nWhen the situation became too dire to ignore or deny, Biden claimed he didnât have the executive authority to do anything about it and blamed Republicans for not sending him legislation. But this week, facing abysmal polling numbers on this issue, Biden suddenly discovered he has executive authority after all. The order he signed is a tepid, too little-too late effort to slow the tidal wave of illegal immigration in time for the election. But Biden has shown he is not serious on this issue. If he wins a second term, the open border policy will resume, and tens of millions more illegals will stream across the border.\n\n4. Lawfare\n\nA bedrock of the political stability weâve enjoyed in America over the last 250 years is that we donât accept attempts to jail political opponents in order to win an election. Yet Biden has pushed for selective and unprecedented prosecutions of his once and future opponent from the moment he assumed office.\n\nMerrick Garland took a long look at the January 6 situation and didnât see a path to prosecute Trump, even after a one-sided Congressional committee sent a highly-prejudiced referral to his Justice Department. Press stories then appeared describing Bidenâs frustration with Garlandâs reticence. The result was Jack Smith at the federal level and Alvin Bragg and Fani Willis at the state level. All have pursued cases based on novel legal theories heretofore unseen and designed to get Trump. In the NY case, Bragg resurrected a dead book-keeping misdemeanor into 34 felonies by claiming it was in the service of a second crime that he never defined and that the judge never insisted the jury unanimously agree on.\n\nMy immigration to this country as a young boy happened because my parents disagreed with the political system of their home country. That government sought to solve its political disagreements by imprisoning its political enemies. What a sad irony that the lawfare we escaped has now reared its ugly head in America of all places.\n\nPresident Biden keeps insisting that a return of President Trump to the White House threatens democracy. But his administration is the one that has colluded with tech platforms to censor the Internet, used the intelligence community to cover up his son Hunterâs laptop, and pursued elective prosecutions against his political opponents.\n\nConclusion: The A/B Test\n\nThe voters have experienced four years of President Trump and four years of President Biden. In tech, we call this an A/B test. With respect to economic policy, foreign policy, border policy, and legal fairness, Trump performed better. He is the President who deserves a second term.","in_reply_to_user_id_str":null,"in_reply_to_status_id_str":null,"is_quote_status":0,"is_ai":null,"ai_score":null,"source":"scraping","fetched_at":null,"edit_history_tweet_ids":null,"poll_10min_at":null,"poll_3day_at":null,"poll_count":0,"poll_complete":0},{"bookmarked":false,"display_text_range":[0,198],"entities":{"hashtags":[],"symbols":[],"timestamps":[],"urls":[],"user_mentions":[]},"favorited":false,"lang":"en","retweeted":false,"fact_check":null,"id":"1597625114132353025","view_count":0,"bookmark_count":476,"created_at":1669738484000,"favorite_count":83879,"quote_count":542,"reply_count":2285,"retweet_count":8539,"user_id_str":"1137701","conversation_id_str":"1597625114132353025","full_text":"As long as Tech MAGA (Microsoft, Apple, Google, and Amazon) have unlimited power to engage in bundling and to act as gatekeepers of competitive products, there cannot be a healthy startup ecosystem.","in_reply_to_user_id_str":null,"in_reply_to_status_id_str":null,"is_quote_status":0,"is_ai":null,"ai_score":null,"source":"scraping","fetched_at":null,"edit_history_tweet_ids":null,"poll_10min_at":null,"poll_3day_at":null,"poll_count":0,"poll_complete":0},{"bookmarked":false,"display_text_range":[0,279],"entities":{"hashtags":[],"symbols":[],"timestamps":[],"urls":[],"user_mentions":[]},"favorited":false,"lang":"en","retweeted":false,"fact_check":null,"id":"1965883071955349943","view_count":3777792,"bookmark_count":1803,"created_at":1757538023000,"favorite_count":76375,"quote_count":164,"reply_count":1443,"retweet_count":7062,"user_id_str":"1137701","conversation_id_str":"1965883071955349943","full_text":"My friend Charlie Kirk was the best of America.

Trump at my home in San Francisco this evening.\n\nOver the last couple of years, I have hosted events for presidential candidates Ron DeSantis, Vivek Ramaswamy, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., as well as several Congressional figures in both major parties. I give to many, but endorse few.\n\nBut today I am giving my endorsement to our 45th President, Donald J. Trump, to be our 47th President. My reasons rest on four main issues that I think are vital to American prosperity, security, and stability â issues where the Biden administration has veered badly off course and where I believe President Trump can lead us back.\n\n1. The Economy\n\nPresident Biden took over an economy that was already recovering strongly from the Covid-induced shock of Q2 2020. Demand had roared back, and employment had recovered. But he chose to keep priming the pump with unnecessary Covid stimulus â almost $2 trillion of it, passed on a straight party-line vote in March of 2021, with trillions more to follow for âinfrastructure,â green energy, and âinflation reduction.â\n\nBiden did this despite early warnings from former Clinton Treasury Secretary Larry Summers that it could lead to inflation. When the inflation came, the Biden administration dismissed it as âtransitory.â In fact, inflation still remains persistently high even after the fastest interest-rate tightening cycle in memory.\n\nAs a result of Bidenâs inflation, average Americans have lost roughly a fifth of their purchasing power over the last few years. Moreover, any American who needs a mortgage, car loan, or credit card debt faces much higher interest costs, which further constrain their purchasing power.\n\nItâs no different for our federal government, which now must devote over a trillion dollars annually to interest on its $34 trillion debt, a massive sum thatâs been growing by a trillion dollars every hundred days. This trajectory is unsustainable, yet Bidenâs 2025 budget calls for even higher spending.\n\nGrowth has already slowed from 3.4 percent in the last quarter of 2023 to an anemic 1.3 percent in the first quarter of this year. We canât afford another four years of Bidenomics.\n\n2. Foreign Policy / Ukraine War\n\nPresident Trump left office with ISIS defeated, the Abraham Accords signed, and no new wars raging on the global stage. Three and a half years later, the world is on fire. President Biden has made several strategic choices that have contributed to this situation.\n\nIn his first year in office, Biden unnecessarily alienated the Saudis before realizing that they are an indispensable partner in the Middle East. He also presided over a chaotic withdrawal of our troops from Afghanistan (right policy, abysmal execution).\n\nBut his biggest blunder by far has been in Ukraine. His administration immediately began pushing for Ukraineâs admission to NATO, despite no unanimity among the existing NATO members that such a move was a good idea. When this predictably antagonized the Russians, the Biden administration doubled down at every turn, insisting that âNATOâs door is open, and will remain openâ with respect to Ukraine. Biden himself baited Russia when he said he didnât âaccept anybodyâs red lines.â\n\nAfter the invasion, there was still a chance to stop the war in its early weeks before much loss of life and destruction had occurred. Russian and Ukrainian negotiators had signed a draft agreement in Istanbul that would have seen Russia retreat to its pre-invasion borders in exchange for Ukrainian neutrality. But the Biden administration rejected that deal as well as General Milleyâs advice to seek a diplomatic solution in November 2022.\n\nAs the war of attrition grinds on, the Ukrainians face ever-mounting casualties and infrastructure damage. Still, President Biden keeps allowing the conflict to escalate and risk World War III. Every escalation that Biden initially resisted â Abrams tanks, F-16âs, ATACMs, allowing Ukraine to hit targets in Russia â he has eventually acquiesced to. There is just one more escalation to go: NATO troops on the ground fighting Russia directly. And our European allies like Emmanuel Macron are already spoiling for exactly this scenario.\n\nWith Biden, our choices are limited to fighting the proxy war to the last Ukrainian, or fighting Russia ourselves. President Trump has said he wants the dying in Ukraine to stop, and that he will seek to end the war through a negotiated settlement. Ukraine will no longer be able to get the deal we talked them out of in April 2022, but we can still save Ukraine as an independent nation and avert world war.\n\n3. The Border\n\nAs an immigrant to the United States myself, I certainly believe in Americaâs history of strengthening its ranks by welcoming talented people from other nations seeking freedom and opportunity. But that promise requires an orderly process of legal immigration that emphasizes skills and the principles of American citizenship. This was the preferred policy under President Trump.\n\nWhat Biden ushered in was a de facto open border policy. On his first day in office, he repealed President Trumpâs executive orders restricting illegal immigration and stopped construction of a border wall, selling off parts of it for scrap metal. This quickly resulted in a massive spike in illegal border crossings and a chaotic and dangerous situation on our southern border.\n\nPresident Biden (along with the hapless Kamala Harris and the malevolent Homeland Security Chief Alejandro Mayorkas) responded to growing concerns by gaslighting the American public, saying there was no problem at the border despite constant videos of masses of people sprinting across it.\n\nWhen the situation became too dire to ignore or deny, Biden claimed he didnât have the executive authority to do anything about it and blamed Republicans for not sending him legislation. But this week, facing abysmal polling numbers on this issue, Biden suddenly discovered he has executive authority after all. The order he signed is a tepid, too little-too late effort to slow the tidal wave of illegal immigration in time for the election. But Biden has shown he is not serious on this issue. If he wins a second term, the open border policy will resume, and tens of millions more illegals will stream across the border.\n\n4. Lawfare\n\nA bedrock of the political stability weâve enjoyed in America over the last 250 years is that we donât accept attempts to jail political opponents in order to win an election. Yet Biden has pushed for selective and unprecedented prosecutions of his once and future opponent from the moment he assumed office.\n\nMerrick Garland took a long look at the January 6 situation and didnât see a path to prosecute Trump, even after a one-sided Congressional committee sent a highly-prejudiced referral to his Justice Department. Press stories then appeared describing Bidenâs frustration with Garlandâs reticence. The result was Jack Smith at the federal level and Alvin Bragg and Fani Willis at the state level. All have pursued cases based on novel legal theories heretofore unseen and designed to get Trump. In the NY case, Bragg resurrected a dead book-keeping misdemeanor into 34 felonies by claiming it was in the service of a second crime that he never defined and that the judge never insisted the jury unanimously agree on.\n\nMy immigration to this country as a young boy happened because my parents disagreed with the political system of their home country. That government sought to solve its political disagreements by imprisoning its political enemies. What a sad irony that the lawfare we escaped has now reared its ugly head in America of all places.\n\nPresident Biden keeps insisting that a return of President Trump to the White House threatens democracy. But his administration is the one that has colluded with tech platforms to censor the Internet, used the intelligence community to cover up his son Hunterâs laptop, and pursued elective prosecutions against his political opponents.\n\nConclusion: The A/B Test\n\nThe voters have experienced four years of President Trump and four years of President Biden. In tech, we call this an A/B test. With respect to economic policy, foreign policy, border policy, and legal fairness, Trump performed better.

KNOW A HERO WHEN I SEE ONE\n\nThe Washington Post names me along with @elonmusk as one of several businessmen who are using their âmegaphonesâ to spread ânarrativesâ about the assassination attempt on President Trump. \n\nIâm not sure what ânarrativesâ theyâre referring to, but I know what I saw, and I know what the crowd in Butler witnessed live. \n\nAt it turns out, my father-in-law lives in Pennsylvania and he was at the rally on Saturday. When the shots rang out and Trump went down, he said pandemonium broke out around him. Everyone feared the worst. \n\nBut then Trump rose. Covered in his own blood, resisting the secret serviceâs efforts to whisk him away to safety, Trump raised his fist defiantly, and the crowd could see him say: âFight. Fight. Fight.â\n\nImmediately the fear of the crowd dissipated, the chaotic uncertainty lifted, and it was replaced with steely resolve. The crowd responded back as one: âUSA, USA, USA!â \n\nThis is not a ânarrative.â It is the truth. Trump stood defiant in the face of an assassinâs bullet. There is no way to fake courage like that. \n\nIt was more important for Trump to let the crowd know that he was unbowed and unbroken than to be taken to safety. \n\nDonald Trump has already been in the fight of his life for months, as vindictive Democrats seek to imprison him, but on this day he came within inches of losing it. He has risked everything for this country. \n\nIt is now up to us, the American people, to show him that he does not stand alone. Let us reject the lies, the hoaxes, the hate and the division that the media has spread about this brave man, and support his resounding victory in November.","in_reply_to_user_id_str":null,"in_reply_to_status_id_str":null,"is_quote_status":0,"is_ai":null,"ai_score":null,"source":"scraping","fetched_at":null,"edit_history_tweet_ids":null,"poll_10min_at":null,"poll_3day_at":null,"poll_count":0,"poll_complete":0},{"truncated":false,"display_text_range":[0,35],"entities":{"hashtags":[],"symbols":[],"user_mentions":[],"urls":[],"media":[{"id":1848495095273738200,"id_str":"1848495095273738240","indices":[12,35],"media_url":"http://pbs.twimg.com/ext_tw_video_thumb/1848495095273738240/pu/img/o7WQK5wyardHsNDv.jpg","media_url_https":"https://pbs.twimg.com/ext_tw_video_thumb/1848495095273738240/pu/img/o7WQK5wyardHsNDv.jpg","url":"https://t.co/0zg7bO0roX","display_url":"pic.x.com/0zg7bO0roX","expanded_url":"https://x.com/Breaking911/status/1848499886083506569/video/1","type":"photo","allow_download_status":false,"original_info":{"width":1280,"height":720},"sizes":{"thumb":{"w":150,"h":150,"resize":"crop"},"medium":{"w":1200,"h":675,"resize":"fit"},"small":{"w":680,"h":383,"resize":"fit"},"large":{"w":1280,"h":720,"resize":"fit"}},"source_status_id":1848499886083506700,"source_status_id_str":"1848499886083506569","source_user_id":375721095,"source_user_id_str":"375721095","features":{}}]},"extended_entities":{"media":[{"id":1848495095273738200,"id_str":"1848495095273738240","indices":[12,35],"media_url":"http://pbs.twimg.com/ext_tw_video_thumb/1848495095273738240/pu/img/o7WQK5wyardHsNDv.jpg","media_url_https":"https://pbs.twimg.com/ext_tw_video_thumb/1848495095273738240/pu/img/o7WQK5wyardHsNDv.jpg","url":"https://t.co/0zg7bO0roX","display_url":"pic.x.com/0zg7bO0roX","expanded_url":"https://x.com/Breaking911/status/1848499886083506569/video/1","type":"video","allow_download_status":false,"original_info":{"width":1280,"height":720},"sizes":{"thumb":{"w":150,"h":150,"resize":"crop"},"medium":{"w":1200,"h":675,"resize":"fit"},"small":{"w":680,"h":383,"resize":"fit"},"large":{"w":1280,"h":720,"resize":"fit"}},"source_status_id":1848499886083506700,"source_status_id_str":"1848499886083506569","source_user_id":375721095,"source_user_id_str":"375721095","video_info":{"aspect_ratio":[16,9],"duration_millis":142250,"variants":[{"bitrate":256000,"content_type":"video/mp4","url":"https://video.twimg.com/ext_tw_video/1848495095273738240/pu/vid/avc1/480x270/x_qHIT2B6TyQpvyO.mp4?tag=12"},{"bitrate":2176000,"content_type":"video/mp4","url":"https://video.twimg.com/ext_tw_video/1848495095273738240/pu/vid/avc1/1280x720/1hfUQoG4QTsWs1G5.mp4?tag=12"},{"bitrate":832000,"content_type":"video/mp4","url":"https://video.twimg.com/ext_tw_video/1848495095273738240/pu/vid/avc1/640x360/sCj_Eouald9tBidu.mp4?tag=12"},{"content_type":"application/x-mpegURL","url":"https://video.twimg.com/ext_tw_video/1848495095273738240/pu/pl/XuiWeO-oSA5PmdAY.m3u8?tag=12&v=4a0"}]},"features":{},"ext_sensitive_media_warning":null,"ext_media_availability":{"status":"available"},"ext_alt_text":null,"ext_media_color":{"palette":[{"rgb":{"red":36,"green":50,"blue":86},"percentage":46.53},{"rgb":{"red":22,"green":31,"blue":25},"percentage":24.32},{"rgb":{"red":50,"green":72,"blue":123},"percentage":11.17},{"rgb":{"red":96,"green":58,"blue":36},"percentage":3.99},{"rgb":{"red":160,"green":163,"blue":166},"percentage":3.73}]},"ext":{"mediaStats":{"r":{"ok":{"viewCount":"5271584"}},"ttl":-1}},"additional_media_info":{"monetizable":false}}]},"source":"scraping","in_reply_to_status_id":null,"in_reply_to_user_id":null,"in_reply_to_screen_name":null,"user_id":1137701,"geo":null,"coordinates":null,"place":null,"contributors":null,"conversation_id":1848640369006628900,"conversation_muted":false,"favorited":false,"retweeted":false,"possibly_sensitive":false,"lang":"en","ext":{"superFollowMetadata":{"r":{"ok":{}},"ttl":-1}},"fact_check":null,"id":"1848640369006628972","view_count":6254217,"bookmark_count":null,"created_at":1729585184000,"favorite_count":21353,"quote_count":1424,"reply_count":7378,"retweet_count":2648,"user_id_str":"1137701","conversation_id_str":"1848640369006628972","full_text":"Seriously?\n\nhttps://t.co/0zg7bO0roX","in_reply_to_user_id_str":null,"in_reply_to_status_id_str":null,"is_quote_status":0,"is_ai":null,"ai_score":null,"fetched_at":null,"edit_history_tweet_ids":null,"poll_10min_at":null,"poll_3day_at":null,"poll_count":0,"poll_complete":0},{"bookmarked":false,"display_text_range":[0,209],"entities":{"hashtags":[],"symbols":[],"timestamps":[],"urls":[],"user_mentions":[]},"favorited":false,"lang":"en","retweeted":false,"fact_check":null,"id":"1634292056821764099","view_count":12555001,"bookmark_count":723,"created_at":1678480564000,"favorite_count":15423,"quote_count":2321,"reply_count":5508,"retweet_count":1979,"user_id_str":"1137701","conversation_id_str":"1634292056821764099","full_text":"Where is Powell?

Repeated stunts risk diminishing returns and invite sustained backlash.","roast":"You treat Twitter like a mixtape drop scheduleâonly instead of beats, you release hot takes and wait for people to fight over the cover art.
