Learn whether you qualify as a MAGA

Learn whether you qualify as a MAGA:

Donald Trump’s description:  “It was a loving crowd, too, by the way. There was a lot of love… I’ve heard that from everybody. Many, many have told me that it was a loving crowd.”

If you believe him, you qualify as a MAGA.

Trump called those whom he pardoned “people who love our country.”

If you believe him, you qualify as a MAGA.

Trump said the rioters had been treated “unbelievably poorly.”

If you believe him, you qualify as a MAGA.

Trump referred to the defendants who were pardoned as “hostages,” claiming they had been unfairly imprisoned.

If you believe him, you qualify as a MAGA.

Trump said “If you count the legal votes, I easily win. If you count the illegal votes, they can try to steal the election from us.

If you believe him, you qualify as a MAGA.

Trump and his campaign supporters have been routinely defeated in court.

“Judges have denied or dismissed dozens of cases backed by Trump and his allies, who have pushed unsupported charges of widespread fraud in battleground states,” said a Jan. 7 Fox News report.

If, despite 62 out of 63 Democrat and Republican judges tossing Trump’s claims out of court, you still believe the election was rigged, then you qualify as a MAGA.

If you think there is nothing wrong with a President spouting the unsupported, paranoid idiocy that 82% of Americans believe the 2020  election was rigged, then indeed you qualify as a MAGA.

Trump’s Venezuela invasion has exposed one of his biggest lies

by Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic

There was a time, not long ago, when people would claim with a straight face that Donald Trump was a populist who prioritized the interests of working-class Americans and avoided stupid foreign wars.

“Trump’s Best Foreign Policy? Not Starting Any Wars,” then-Sen. J.D. Vance crowed in 2023. As Trump assembled his second-term national security team in 2024, Republican Sen. Rand Paul, of Kentucky, claimed to be “amazed by the Trump Cabinet” and the president’s rejection of “warmongers.”

A mere two months ago, one of those Cabinet officials, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, told a conference in Bahrain that Trump had ended the “counterproductive and endless cycle of regime change or nation building” that has defined U.S. foreign policy for decades.

If you believe that “not starting wars” is a good thing, but starting a war with Venezuela also is a good thing, then you come in at the top of your class in the MAGA world.

But there is even more for MAGAs to love.

Despite Trump’s boasts that he doesn’t take a salary for being President, and that the Presidency is costing him money:

The Trump family has raked in an astonishing $3.4 billion over his two presidencies

Thanks to Trump’s two presidencies, the family has made $2.37 billion from cryptocurrency; $339.6 million from financial ventures; $270.8 million from hospitality; $116 million from media; and $277.7 million across other sources, including his private jet, legal fees and merchandise.

And none of this includes the $2 Billion (!) Jared Kushner’s private equity firm received from the sovereign wealth fund controlled by Saudi Prince Mohammed. 

Trump’s biggest lie about the economy: ‘I inherited a mess’ By Ned Barnett, Wednesday, Dec. 31, 2025

President Donald Trump’s contentious speech on the economy Dec. 17 contained his usual exaggerations and falsehoods, but his most prominent lie was one that too many have come to accept as truth.

Trump opened his remarks with it. Speaking of the nation’s economy, he said: “Eleven months ago, I inherited a mess.”

No, he didn’t. Trump inherited a strong and improving economy, and he has made a mess of it.

Trump campaigned as if the economy were in a free fall that only he could reverse.

In a speech in August 2024, he said, “Vote Trump and your incomes will soar, your savings will grow, young people will be able to afford a home, and we will bring back the American dream bigger, better and stronger than ever before.”

That’s not what happened. Instead, Trump imposed sweeping, disruptive and inflation-fueling tariffs.

He has taken a draconian approach to immigration that is depriving businesses of workers.

His cuts in university research grants are slowing scientific progress and hurting regional economies.

“If it weren’t for the tariffs, you would be seeing inflation settling lower,” said Gerald Cohen, chief economist with the Kenan Institute of Private Enterprise at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

“The economy Trump inherited looked pretty strong going into the beginning of the year.” 

And the crackdown on immigration, he said, “is definitely having an effect. One reason the unemployment rate isn’t higher is that the labor force is shrinking.”

Once you see through Trump’s fog of false claims and his incessant blaming of Biden, it’s clear that the economy would be quite strong if he had done nothing.

There would be no new tariffs. No Elon Musk eviscerating the federal workforce. No cutoff of research grants. No sharp reduction in legal immigration and no roundups of undocumented immigrants who have no criminal record. No stopping renewable energy projects.

And soon it will get worse.

The sharp hike in health insurance premiums under the Affordable Care Act will hit tomorrow. Coming cuts in Medicaid and food assistance under Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” will increase the number of uninsured people, threaten rural hospitals, strain state budgets and overwhelm food banks.

And finally, there is this hint that the worst outrages are yet to come:

Trump Floats Cancelling Election, Then Insists He Won’t Nik Popli Tue, January 6, 2026

President Donald Trump on Tuesday floated the idea of canceling future U.S. elections, elevating a longstanding concern among critics of how he might try to limit threats to his power in his second term.

Trump brought up the idea while speaking to House Republicans at their annual retreat, and then quickly insisted he was not calling for such a move, casting his remarks as a critique of Democrats rather than a proposal.

“They have the worst policy,” he said in his remarks at the Kennedy Center to about 70 House Republicans. “How we have to even run against these people—I won’t say cancel the election, they should cancel the election, because the fake news would say, ‘He wants the elections canceled.’

“He’s a dictator.’ They always call me a dictator.”

Only Trump has suggested canceling the election.

He has introduced this topic to gauge public reaction. If the response from his supporters, the MAGA base, is positive, or at least not overwhelmingly negative, Trump will bring it up repeatedly (accompanied by denials) until it becomes less shocking and appears more feasible to execute.

If you like the costly tariffs, Gestapo-like roundups of innocent, brown-skinned people (valuable workers), the research cuts, a return to massive inflation, the return to environment-destroying fossil energy, unaffordable healthcare insurance, and the incessant lying, lying, lying, then you can wave your confederate flag, vote to be ruled by a king, and proudly call yourself a MAGA.

Until the elections are cancelled and dictator Trump’s Gestapo (aka ICE) comes for you just because . . .
