The Green New Deal, trade with China, COVID-19 lockdowns, mass migration – everything has been disastrous. Just as Trump has claimed all along.
The American economist Thomas Sowell once wrote: «People forgive you for being wrong, but they never forgive you for being right – especially if events prove you right while simultaneously proving them wrong.»
Donald Trump said something similar in his speech to the National Republican Congressional Committee last week, about how Democrats were «not afraid» of the Trump administration’s America First policy failing, but that they were «terrified» of the strategy succeeding.
So it seems with President Trump. He’s been right about pretty much everything, and now he’s trying to do something about it. «The ‘elite’ are howling with indiscriminate rage,» writes Liz Truss in an op-ed in The Telegraph.
Truss holds the record as the person with the shortest time in Downing Street with her 49 days. Last autumn she also lost her seat in the House of Commons. But now she is about to rise again. Speculation is rife that she will announce a switch to Reform UK.
A month ago, she cut a fine figure in an interview with podcaster Andrew Gold, where she talked about how shockingly little power she had as prime minister. The deep state is alive and well in the UK too.
Now, Truss is proving US President Donald Trump right on a number of fronts. The Paris Agreement was indeed a self-inflicted economic disaster for the West, especially the UK. China is indeed a real enemy that has been defrauding the West for years, ever since it was admitted to the World Trade Organisation (WTO).
The draconian lockdowns during the pandemic were an ugly mistake. The «swamp» or «deep state» – call it what you will – is a real threat and undermines democracy. Mass migration has been an economic and cultural disaster.
Trump is right that cities and towns have been hollowed out, on both sides of the Atlantic: Places like Ohio and Scunthorpe have suffered, with defunct industries leaving dilapidated town centres and a trail of social and drug problems in their wake.
This was demonstrated by MPs running to the House of Commons on Saturday to support what was tantamount to the nationalisation of steel – created by China and Net Zero, which MPs had enthusiastically signed into law.
Scunthorpe is the place where British Steel is about to go under, probably planned by its Chinese owners, with the contribution of British climate hysteria.
This is not a new development, writes Truss. But it has become all-encompassing. And the British are in a far worse situation than the US. The same can be said of virtually all of Europe, which has failed miserably on virtually every possible front of the political spectrum.
The entire Western establishment refuses to admit how wrong they have been on just about everything. Their Davos-inspired New World Order, combined with the UN’s self-defeating Sustainable Development Goals, has left Western countries in a terrible state.
In addition, politicians are banned and elections are cancelled if you don’t follow the destructive script. In Germany, there is serious talk of banning the country’s most popular party, Alternative für Deutschland (AfD). The presidential election in Romania was cancelled when the «wrong» person won.
At the same time, the last small remnants of freedom of expression are threatened with total extinction. Free speech is approaching a endlösung. All this to «protect democracy,» says the unelected Brussels mafia with a straight face.
It was Bill Clinton who let China into the WTO. The Tory government under David Cameron and George Osborne declared a «golden era» with China. Erna Solberg licked the boots of Xi Jinping to sell more salmon to China.
The unelected officials at the Bank of England printed money, leading to even more government spending. Michael Gove schmoozed with Greta Thunberg, promoted net zero emissions and lobbied for stricter Covid lockdowns.
We recognise ourselves. Norges Bank has deliberately destroyed the Norwegian krone, so now Norwegian tax slaves can’t even feel a little wealthy in the South. Our former climate minister from the Norwegian Liberal Party, Ola Elvestuen, treated climate Greta like a goddess.
The Tories were in power for 14 years. They failed miserably after the shock of the Brexit vote, allowing mass immigration to escalate out of control.
Canada has Mark Carney, the ultimate Davos creature, who went from failing at the Bank of England to becoming Canada’s unelected prime minister. Now it looks like Carney is actually going to win the election on 28 April. It’s hard to believe, after almost ten disastrous years with Justin Trudeau.
But reading the comments from most of the British media and establishment, you’d think these people were geniuses and Trump an idiot. Even Nigel Farage said Trump was trying to do “too much too soon” with his tariff policy.
Here it must be mentioned that British media are far more balanced than Norwegian media. The British still have media that can call themselves conservative without breaking down in fits of laughter.
Truss still believes that the so-called mini-budget in 2022, which led to her downfall, was both sensible and necessary to save the British economy. She believes it contained a sensible package of tax freezes, spending cuts and supply-side measures, including fracking, that would have created economic growth. She’s probably right.
The idea that taking more time to «introduce things gradually» would have helped is just nonsense, says Truss.
It’s not ignorance that disruptors face, but hostility from those who have a vested interest in your failure.
The only viable strategy is the one Trump employs, namely «flooding the zone» – using shock and awe to challenge opponents and shake up the status quo.
It’s like comparing General Patton to General Montgomery from World War II. Patton used rapid advances and constantly popped up where no one expected him to. Montgomery advanced at the speed of a mouse. Who was more successful? Who was it that the German generals feared?
President Trump is standing up for the American people; we should start standing up for the British people.
But the British political leadership is failing to do this, many don’t even want to talk about what’s happening. So instead of directing all their anger at Donald Trump, those who have driven Britain into the ditch for the past 40 years should take a closer look at their homeland, concludes Truss.
Can we hope for something similar in Norway? Unfortunately, I highly doubt it.
