It was just a couple weeks ago that Democrats thought they had Trump on the ropes. The tariffs were supposedly a disaster, the stock market was crashing, the media was predicting a recession, and Trump's polls were supposedly cratering.

"NEVER BET AGAINST TRUMP!"

It was just a couple weeks ago that Democrats thought they had Trump on the ropes. The tariffs were supposedly a disaster, the stock market was crashing, the media was predicting a recession, and Trump's polls were supposedly cratering.

I've said this on my TV and radio shows for a decade now ...

"NEVER BET AGAINST TRUMP!"

The man is relentless. He is unstoppable. He is a force of nature. He is a bull in a "China shop." He isn't God, but he's certainly superhuman.

I wrote the book "TRUMP RULES" back in 2020 — almost five years ago. It was about the Trump rules of success that had already (way back then) made Donald J. Trump one of the most successful human beings to ever walk this planet.

I based those "Trump Rules" on my 40-plus years of studying Trump, since I was a freshman at Columbia University in 1979.

Back in late 2020 and early 2021 when my book came out, Trump was in the middle of an election catastrophe — a rigged and stolen election, the Jan. 6 entrapment of peaceful MAGA protestors by devious Democrats, and so-called experts in the media calling Trump everything from a "sore loser" to "insurrectionist" and "traitor."

Everyone in the media believed Trump's political career was over, and many, if not most, thought he'd wind up in prison.

I was busy on a book tour promoting my "TRUMP RULES" book. I gave my bold, shocking predictions to anyone who would listen. I said:

"I know President Donald J. Trump. He will be back bigger than ever by 2024. He will win the 2024 election and become president again. He will become the greatest 'comeback kid' of all time. He will be wealthier, more popular and more powerful than ever before."

I had a crystal ball — everything I predicted came to pass.

Now look around. Trump is soaring in the polls. The tariffs are working like a charm — Trump is winning the trade wars against China and every other country in the world. The so-called stock market crash has been erased, and we're headed back up. Inflation is the lowest since Trump's first term. We just experienced the second-biggest monthly budget surplus in history. Job creation is beating all the estimates. and instead of jobs for foreigners (mostly illegals) like we experienced under Biden, virtually 100% of the new jobs are for American citizens.

Trump was elected to secure the border. Guess what? The border is secured — it's as quiet as a church mouse.

To top it off, Trump is in the Middle East being treated like a visiting king. They've rolled out the red carpet. brought out the world's biggest McDonalds truck, and they're playing "God Bless the USA" by Lee Greenwood as the president steps off Air Force One.

Arab countries are falling all over themselves trying to please Trump, presenting our president with a $400 million flying palace, buying billions of dollars in arms from U.S. defense contractors and agreeing to invest over a trillion dollars into the U.S. economy.

As a bonus, Trump (against all odds) is producing peace in the Middle East. He is on the verge of expanding the Abraham Accords to include as many as six Arab countries, all promising peace with Israel.

"Peace and prosperity" is no longer just a political slogan. Trump just delivered it!

While that all sounds remarkable, it's not even the best thing Trump has accomplished this week. That honor goes to his executive order lowering prescription drug prices by up to 80% by mandating "favored nation status" for the USA. In other words, Big Pharma must now offer their products here in the USA at the same price as the lowest price they charge anywhere in the world. If the drug sells for $10 in Zimbabwe, it must now sell for $10 here in the USA.

President Trump didn't just save American patients and consumers billions of dollars, and save seniors from bankruptcy, and save lives by making prescription drugs affordable. He also stole the issue Democrats have talked about — and done nothing about — for decades. Trump just went where no political leader has ever gone. Every American voter who pays for prescription drugs will soon be thanking President Trump.

Wait, there's more.

By July 4, Trump will sign a tax bill that will make permanent the largest tax cut in history and deliver middle-class tax priorities such as "No tax on OT," "No tax on tips," and "No tax on Social Security."

So, let's get this straight. Trump has just dramatically cut our taxes, dramatically lowered prescription drug bills, and with "drill baby drill" he's dramatically lowering energy costs, he's beating inflation, his tariffs are producing a budget surplus, he's brought China to her knees with tariffs, and the trillions of dollars being invested into the U.S. economy by foreign countries and companies looking to please Trump will create millions of new jobs and make America prosperous again.

Oh, and one other little thing — we may have peace in the Middle East, which should guarantee Trump the Nobel Peace Prize.

Game, set, match.

Trump just clinched the midterms.

Mic drop.
