WAYNE ROOT: My Response to Marjorie Taylor Green: Trump Is Not Perfect, But He’s Damn Close. And He’s the Best We’ve Ever Had. So Please Stop Complaining. Start Seeing the Glass as Half Full.

By Wayne Allyn Root
Long before I got into politics and political talk radio and TV, I was a Tony Robbins-like motivational speaker. I traveled across the globe, giving speeches on “Success American Style” in over 25 countries. I wrote books about creating success and prosperity.
My central message was “always see the glass as half full.” Be positive. Be thankful for what you have. Because those who “see the glass as half empty” rarely succeed.
I told the story of two salesmen from America who are sent to Africa by their respective shoe companies. They both land, walk off the plane, and get on the phone back to their home office.
One says, “No one has shoes. There are no customers. I’m coming home.”
The other says, “No one has shoes. This place is amazing. Send all the shoes we’ve got in the warehouse. I’m gonna make millions!”
Two salesmen saw the exact same situation and reacted completely differently. One saw poverty and no chance to sell anything. The other saw nothing but opportunity, and a chance to get rich.
Positive thinking. The glass is half full vs. half empty. The only way to succeed is to focus on the positive. Negative people get nowhere in life.
Let’s apply that mindset to President Trump’s first 100 days.
You can either see these past 100 days as amazing…spectacular…fantastic…phenomenal…
magical…a breath of fresh air…the greatest and most consequential 100 days in history…and say…
Thank God for President Trump.
Or you can nit pick and complain about the few things you disagree with…or the few things you see as not moving fast enough.
I’ve read and heard the criticisms by supposed Republicans. I’ve heard the grumblings by the MAGA faithful. I’ve even read a critical column by MAGA darling Marjorie Taylor Green. She says the MAGA base is unhappy.
And I get it. I agree with some of the things they’re critical of. The man isn’t perfect, no man is. But for gosh sakes, give the man a chance. Look at what’s been accomplished.
Anything that hasn’t happened yet, or hasn’t happened fast enough, certainly isn’t from a lack of trying. President Trump is relentless. He’s fighting the entire world- the DC Swamp, Deep State, establishment of both parties, RINOS in the House and Senate, the entire mainstream media, virtually every government bureaucrat, and globalists around the world, including the UN, WHO, WEF, and NATO.
And thanks to “resistance judges” in our country, he’s fighting with one leg and both arms tied behind his back.
But just think what could have been…
We could have been stuck with four more years of Joe Biden, a brain-dead dementia zombie.
We could have been stuck with Kamala- the dumbest, most incompetent and most radical person ever allowed near the Oval Office.
We could have been stuck with Michelle Obama – if Barack had enough time to rally the troops after Biden dropped out.
We could have been stuck with RINOS like Mike Pence, Nikki Haley, or anyone with the seal of approval of the Bush family, or Mitt Romney.
In any of those cases, you could have kissed America goodbye.
Instead, we got President Donald J. Trump. Thank your lucky stars. Kiss the ground. Kneel in prayer. No matter how many things you disagree with, no matter how slow you think things are going, we dodged a bullet with America’s name on it.
And no matter how many things Trump has done that you disagree with, I dare you to find anyone better. Or anyone better, who could have been elected three times with 214 million combined votes. Good luck.
What Donald J. Trump has done in 100 days is incredible and unimaginable.
First, Trump has secured the border- it’s as sealed and safe as any time in history.
Second, Trump has put the fear of God into the Cartel gangbangers.
Third, Trump has begun (as promised) the mass deportation by going after “the worst of the worst” criminals. Bravo.
Fourth, Trump has ended the DEI madness in government, colleges, the military and corporate America.
Fifth, Trump has ended transgender madness in our schools and banned boys from girl’s sports.
Sixth, Trump has ended the green energy madness and replaced it with “Drill, baby, drill,” to make America energy independent.
Seventh, Trump and Elon have used DOGE to dramatically cut the size of government, the waste and fraud, the looting, and the number of lazy, useless, overpaid, under-performing government employees.
Eighth, Trump has completely changed the US economy- transitioning from an economy centered around government spending and jobs for illegal aliens, to a private sector economy, built for American citizens.
And Ninth, Trump has started the process of completely changing the world economy to benefit American industry, American workers, and America First, with the threat of tariffs.
This all happened in 100 days.
Trump has done more in 100 days than my old hero Ronald Reagan accomplished in eight years.
And you’re complaining?
Is Trump perfect? No. Would I have done a few things differently? Sure. I wish he would cancel the Ukraine deal. I wish he’d condemn the Covid vaccine. I wish he’d arrest more of the traitorous bad guys (and bad judges).
Do we have a right to point out things he could do better, or faster? Absolutely. But always understand and appreciate that President Trump is better, by a mile, than any other alternative.
He’s the best we’ve got. He’s the best we’ve ever had. And I’m betting he’s the best we will ever get. Thank God we have him. Thank you, President Trump.
Start seeing the glass as HALF FULL. Because it is!

President Trump Taps Dr. Ben Carson for New Role — A HUGE Win for America First Agenda

Dr. Ben Carson is the newest member of the Trump administration.
On Wednesday, former Secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development, Ben Carson, was sworn in as the national adviser for nutrition, health, and housing at the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins shared that Carson’s role will be to oversee Trump’s new Big Beautiful Bill law, which aims to ensure Americans’ quality of life, from nutrition to stable housing.
After being sworn in, Carson shared, “Today, too many Americans are suffering from the effects of poor nutrition. Through common-sense policymaking, we have an opportunity to give our most vulnerable families the tools they need to flourish.”

Per USDA:
Today, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke L. Rollins announced that Dr. Benjamin S. Carson, Sr., M.D., was sworn in as the National Advisor for Nutrition, Health, and Housing at the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).
“There is no one more qualified than Dr. Carson to advise on policies that improve Americans’ everyday quality of life, from nutrition to healthcare quality to ensuring families have access to safe and stable housing,” said Secretary Rollins.
“With six in ten Americans living with at least one chronic disease, and rural communities facing unique challenges with respect to adequate housing, Dr. Carson’s insight and experience is critical. Dr. Carson will be crucial to implementing the rural health investment provisions of the One Big Beautiful Bill and advise on America First polices related to nutrition, health, and housing.
“As the U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development in the first Trump Administration, Dr. Carson worked to expand opportunity and strengthen communities, and we are honored to welcome him to the second Trump Administration to help lead our efforts here at USDA to Make America Healthy Again and ensure rural America continues to prosper.”
“Today, too many Americans are suffering from the effects of poor nutrition. Through common-sense policymaking, we have an opportunity to give our most vulnerable families the tools they need to flourish,” said Dr. Ben Carson. “I am honored to work with Secretary Rollins on these important initiatives to help fulfill President Trump’s vision for a healthier, stronger America.”
On Sunday, Dr. Carson was one of the many speakers at the memorial service of the late TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk.
During the memorial service, Carson highlighted that Kirk was shot at 12:24 p.m. and then continued to share the Bible verse John 12:24, which reads, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.”
WATCH:
Ben Carson reads John 12:24 at the Charlie Kirk’s funeral. Charlie was shot at 12:24.
It reads: “Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds”

LEAKED MEMO: Deep State Prosecutors in the Eastern District of Virginia Claim There Isn’t Enough Evidence to Convict Comey Amid Reports of Imminent Indictment

On Wednesday evening, disgruntled officials in the Eastern District of Virginia leaked contents of a memo explaining why charges should not be brought against James Comey.
As reported earlier, former FBI Director James Comey is expected to be indicted in the Eastern District of Virginia in the next few days.
Comey will reportedly be charged for lying to Congress in a 2020 testimony about whether he authorized leaks to the media.
Officials in the Eastern District of Virginia are still fighting to stop Comey from being charged after Trump fired US Attorney Erik Siebert.
President Trump last week fired Erik Siebert as the US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia because he refused to bring charges against Letitia James, Comey, Schiff and others.
On Saturday evening, President Trump announced that he had appointed Lindsey Halligan – his personal attorney who defended him against the Mar-a-Lago raid – as US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia.
Now, with just days to go before the statute of limitations runs out to charge Comey for lying during a September 30, 2020 testimony, Lindsey Halligan is reportedly gearing up to indict Comey.
Prosecutors reportedly gave newly sworn-in Halligan a memo defending James Comey and explaining why charges should not brought against the fired FBI Director.
Per MSNBC’s Ken Dilanian:
Two sources familiar with the matter tell me prosecutors in the EDVA US attorney‘s office presented newly sworn US attorney Lindsey Halligan with a memo explaining why charges should not be brought against James Comey, because there isn’t enough evidence to establish probable cause a crime was committed, let alone enough to convince a jury to convict him.
Justice Department guidelines say a case should not be brought unless prosecutors believe it’s more likely than not that they can win a conviction beyond a reasonable doubt.

Nearly 8 in 10 Voters Say the United States is in Political Crisis After the Assassination of Charlie Kirk

Nearly eight in ten voters believe that the United States is in a political crisis in the wake of the assassination of conservative icon Charlie Kirk.
According to a Quinnipiac University national poll of registered voters released on Wednesday, a massive 93 percent of Democrats, 84 percent of independents, and 60 percent of Republicans said the nation is in a political crisis.
“The Kirk assassination lays bare raw, bipartisan concerns about where the country is headed,” Quinnipiac University Polling Analyst Tim Malloy said of the poll results.
Quinnipiac reports:
Seventy-one percent of voters think politically motivated violence in the United States today is a very serious problem, 22 percent think it is a somewhat serious problem, 3 percent think it is a not so serious problem, and 1 percent think it is not a problem at all.
This is a jump from Quinnipiac University’s June 26 poll when 54 percent thought politically motivated violence in the United States today was a very serious problem, 37 percent thought it was a somewhat serious problem, 6 percent thought it was a not so serious problem, and 2 percent thought it was not a problem at all.
Nearly 6 in 10 voters (58 percent) think it will not be possible to lower the temperature on political rhetoric and speech in the United States, while 34 percent think it will be possible.
Over half, 54 percent, of voters believe the US will see increased political violence over the next few years. Another 27 percent said they think it will stay “about the same,” while just 14 percent believe it will ease.
A 53 percent majority also said they are “pessimistic about freedom of speech being protected in the United States.”
Surprisingly, a 53 percent majority also believes the current system of democracy is not working.
“From a perceived assault on freedom of speech to the fragility of the democracy, a shudder of concern and pessimism rattles a broad swath of the electorate. Nearly 80 percent of registered voters feel they are witnessing a political crisis, seven in ten say political violence is a very serious problem, and a majority say this discord won’t go away anytime soon,” Malloy added.
The vast majority, 82 percent, said the way that people discuss politics is contributing to the violence.
“When asked if political discourse is contributing to violence, a rare meeting of the minds…Republicans, Democrats, and independents in equal numbers say yes, it is,” Malloy said.
The survey was conducted from September 18 to 21 among 1,276 registered voters with a margin of error of +/- 3.3 percentage points.
