The Centrist

A centrist is someone who holds moderate political views, often a position between their left and right wings of the political spectrum. Centrists advocate for policies that seek to find a balance or compromise between the more extreme positions of either side. They typically promote pragmatic solutions and are open to ideas from across the political spectrum. And right now, despite what the radical, progressive left and the ultra right maintain, President Donald John Trump is a moderate or centrist, take your pick. POTUSDJT “persuades by pressuring” and “de-escalates by escalating,” thanks to a “key strategic insight into the gap between US military and economic might and that of its allies.” In other words, the “Art of the Deal.”

In a complete flip of Biden’s miserably failed foreign policies, which was on display throughout his career, President Donald John Trump, while facing criticism from the radical, progressive left and the lapdogs of the mainstream media, saw his place on the foreign front only strengthened. POTUSDJT put great pressure on NATO nations at the alliance’s annual conference to boost military spending to 5% of their GDP by 2035, after complaining for years that US allies were mooching off American taxpayers. This was not accomplished by any of his predecessors. And the Democratic members of the Congress actually had the audacity to condemn “Operation Midnight Hammer,” because they claim they were not informed, but House Minority Leader Hakeem Jefferies(D-NY) never picked up his phone, or according to Representative Jasmine Crockett(D-TX), needed her permission to execute the mission to destroy Iran’s nuclear capability. What a buffoon! The more she talks, it just confirms that she loves self-promotion. And the mainstream media, as usual, went along with those narratives. Both our allies and adversaries recognize that the US once again has a leader who demonstrates strength and not the cognitive neurodivergent puppet who was Biden. And POTUSDJT has maintained a centrist agenda.

No relation to David Crockett…thankfully!!
TR and daughter Alice…she was as tough as her dad.

Additionally, with the destruction of Iran’s nuclear capabilities, this can open the door for the peace process and lead to ceasefires across the region, especially with Israel and Hamas. And let’s not forget that President Donald John Trump also mediated the ceasefire to avoid the possibility of nuclear war between India and Pakistan, who nominated him for the Nobel Peace Prize. Furthermore, POTUSDJT also brokered a peace agreement between Rwanda and the Congo as nobody from the West did anything since the 1994 holocaust. The Nobel Peace Prize was won only by two presidents: Obama for just showing up and accomplishing nothing. In 1905 President Theodore Roosevelt received the NPP for ending the Russo-Japanese War with the use of back-channeling and having his 18 year old daughter Alice as the messenger to carry the peace papers in her petticoat. It should prove to be rather interesting if President Donald John Trump is awarded not only one, but two Nobels. Won’t the radical, progressive left and the bootlicking dregs of the coastal, corporate legacy mainstream media absolutely loose their minds after having hardly addressing his place in the peace processes from the aforementioned conflicts? They would still have nothing on their plate!!! And yes, POTUSDJT maintained a centrist agenda.

The leaders who changed the Middle East.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has officially nominated President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize. The announcement came during a dinner meeting in the White House’s Blue Room, where Netanyahu personally presented Trump with a copy of the nomination letter he sent to the Nobel Committee. One of the topics on the agenda is the security guarantees offered by Putin…only words right now…but with the support of NATO’s Article Five, which is “A collective defensive clause stating that an armed attack against one member is considered an attack against all members, obligating them to respond as the deem necessary.” This clause kind of sounds like the manner in which progressive President Woodrow Wilson’s League of Nations operated.

White House Press Secretary Karolne Leavitt…the youngest in American History and she doesn’t need a loose leaf book to know what is going on and how to deal with a hostile, oppositional press corps.

Throughout the 2024 campaign President Donald John Trump clearly stated that he cannot stand seeing casualties resulting from war, as he has seen in photos and videos, even as the White House’s occupant. And now that he’s in the position to address and resolve numerous conflicts on this crazy little planet, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated, “The President has now ended conflicts between Thailand-Cambodia, Israel-Iran, Israel-Syria, Rwanda-the Democratic Republic of the Congo, India-Pakistan, Serbia-Kosovo, Egypt-Ethiopia and Azerbaijan-Armenia. This means President Trump has brokered, on average, about one peace deal or ceasefire per month during his time in office. It is well past time that President Trump was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.” And the heads of countries involved in the aforementioned conflicts have sent letters of recommendation to the Nobel Peace Prize committee. POTUSDJT has definitely earned at least one NPP, as opposed to Obama who did nothing for his but show up.

As for the Ukraine-Russian war, President Donald John Trump met with President Vladimir Putin in Alaska to lay a foundation for the peace process, with the potential of putting the squeeze on Putin by turning the screws even tighter with economic sanctions if Putin fails to adhere to any peace agreement. And let’s not pretend that DementiaJoe is not directly responsible for the overwhelming majority of conflicts that President Donald John Trump has had to stomp out. Just ask Obama’s former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates about Biden’s hideous career of failures regarding foreign policy. The President brought the war in Ukraine closer to a resolution after hosting the first summit with Putin since 2021, and speculated that they could be meeting again very soon, while making a trilateral meeting with Ukraine President Volodmyr Zelenskyy. Under the Biden administration this never would have happened. As for the nightmare that would have been a Harris administration, I cannot fathom one disaster after disaster under one of the worst, inept and ineffective politicians the US has had the unfortunate experience to deal with.

As President Donald John Trump stood with the Russian leader, the above photo was a clear demonstration of American air superiority and power. Something for Putin to think about.

“A great and very successful day in Alaska,” POTUSDJT wrote on Truth Social. “The meeting with President Vladimir Putin of Russia went very well, as did a late night phone call with President Zelenskyy of Ukraine, and various European leaders, including the highly respected Secretary General of NATO (Mark Rutte).” It was determined by all that the best way to end the horrific war between Russia and Ukraine is to go directly to a peace agreement, which would end the war, and not a mere ceasefire agreement, which often times do not hold up. “President Zelenskyy will be coming to D.C., the Oval Office. If all works out, we will then schedule a meeting with President Putin. Potentially, millions of people’s lives will be saved. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, French President Emmanuel Macron, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, and Finnish President Alexander Stubb attended the meeting in Washington. With President Donald John Trump taking the lead, but a working teammate…a centrist! Under NATO’s Article 5, which is the cornerstone of the alliance, stipulates that an attack on one member is an assault on all, obligating allies to come to each other’s defense. The proposed security guarantees for Ukraine would not come through NATO, but rather from the aforementioned European allies in the event of a Russia-Ukraine peace deal. The EU has stepped up like never before in collaboration with the US, all orchestrated by President Donald John Trump.

It has been reported by the NY Post that Russian President Vladimir Putin is open to meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, either one-on-one or a trilateral meeting alongside President Donald John Trump, a top Kremlin official, but without committing to a timetable. In the past, Putin has rejected attempts by Zelenskyy to meet face-to-face for the entirety of the 41-month-old war, but the White House insisted that talks would happen after POTUSDJT met with Putin in Alaska and discussed the way forward with Zelenskyy and other European leaders at the White House. Doesn’t sound like bullying to me!

During an extremely subjective interview conducted by CBS’ Face the Nation “host” Margaret Brennan, who attempted to flip the 2024 vice presidential debate towards Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, he of false valor and watched Minneapolis burn in 2020, made the ridiculous statement that President Donald John Trump was twisting Zelenskyy’s arm, or bullying, to make an unfavorable peace deal with Russia. Secretary of State Marco Rubio ripped the fake rhetoric and quickly shut it down.  “This is such a stupid media narrative that European leaders are coming here because President Trump is going to bully Zelensky into a bad deal,” Rubio said. “We’ve been working with these people for weeks… We invited them to come. They’re not coming here to keep Zelensky from being bullied. They’re coming here because we’ve been working with the Europeans. We talked to them last week. There were meetings in the UK the previous weekend.” Typical of the mainstream media…just typical.

I do have some trepidations with NATO providing security for the Ukraine. Go back to the end of WW I and the formation of progressive President Woodrow Wilson’s League of Nations. Similar to NATO’s Article 5, with one major caveat being that while each of the member countries have a vote on providing defense for a member country under attack, it would take one negative vote to sink the defense that was to be provided by the League of Nations. And the prime example is just before the start of WWII and Nazi Germany was stirring the pot, a membership vote was taken to censure their actions and declined by the Germans. No military intervention…WWII.

The League of Nations…by the way, President Wilson, the progressive Democrat, was an avowed racist. When he was the president of Princeton University, Jewish and Black applicants were denied entrance. As POTUS, he fired every Black Federal employee except one. And the League of Nations blocked out predominantly Black countries.
The Oval Office

Zelenskyy, sat down to meet with President Donald John Trump, along with the aforementioned foreign leaders belonging to NATO, around the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office, will be part of the conference in order to determine strategies to deal with the ending of the Ukraine-Russian war. The bootlicking dregs of the coastal, corporate, legacy mainstream media have taken the stance that POTUSDJT suffered a “major defeat” by allowing Putin to have a major Summit in the US. The president added: “Actually, he would have loved doing the meeting anywhere else but the US, and the Fake News knows this. It was a major point of contention! If we had the Summit elsewhere, the Democrat run and controlled media would have said what a terrible thing THAT was.” Anything to torpedo a peace initiative that never would have been possible with Biden in office, much less Harris. Home field advantage!

Trump, who gave Putin an ultimatum to pursue peace in Ukraine or else face a wave of sanctions, told Fox News ahead of their summit that he “won’t be happy” if the Russian president didn’t agree to a ceasefire in the ongoing conflict launched in February 2022. And in 2022, when Putin launched the invasion into the Ukraine, Biden was in a position of economic strength because of the Trump One economy and simply said, “Don’t!” Some big threat from a weak and ineffective president. And let’s not forget that when Obama was POTUS in February 2014, Putin authorized the invasion of The Crimea and within one month, the Russian military effectively annexed it. And how did Obama respond? He sent blankets!!!!!!

And Zelenskyy wasn’t wearing battle fatigues! He learned quickly.

As for President Zelenskyy’s meeting with POTUSDJT, he had looked ahead for his meeting with President Donald John Trump, Zelenskyy told reporters in Brussels that while Kyiv would be open to “land swaps” in exchange for peace, Putin’s demands to cede the entirety of the Donetsk region, including parts under Ukrainian control, is off the table. The other key area is the Donbas region, which is the key resource for agricultural production and precious mineral deposits. And this is not the first time that Russia wanted the Donbas sector of the Ukraine. This was agricultural land for the Kulaks.

During his first five year plan, Josef Stalin’s hard push to take land ownership and organization away from the Kulaks meant that “peasants with a couple of cows or five or six acres more than their neighbors” were labeled as Kulaks, who were farmers of some wealth. In 1929, Soviet officials officially classified Kulaks, according to criteria, such as the use of hired labor. Under the de-Kulakization, government officials seized farms and executed millions of Kulaks, while forcibly relocating others to labor camps and drove many others to migrate to the cities following the loss of their property to the collectives.

Duranty was a shill for Stalin.

In 1932, Walter Duranty, the Moscow bureau chief for The NY Times, received a Pulitzer Prize for a series of reports about the USSR, eleven of which were published in June 1931. He was later criticized for his subsequent denial of the 1930-1933 widespread Holodomor famine, in the USSR, while he absolutely covered up the treatment of the Kulaks. Beginning in 1990, there were calls for the Pulitzer Board to revoke Duranty’s prize. The board declined to revoke the award due to a clear lack of evidence. I wonder who influenced the Pulitzer Board? Fake news 1930’s style.

DementiaJoe lit the match with the spineless and incompetent retreat from Afghanistan that demonstrated to both our allies and adversaries that he was clueless and weak. His sorry foreign policy led to 13 American members of the military getting killed by a suicide bomber, who by the way was in the sight lines of Army snipers, who never received the orders to eliminate the target. Moreover, let’s not forget that as the deceased were being taken off the transport at Dover AFB, Biden was standing on the tarmac looking at his watch and never met with the Gold Star families. At the time, former President Donald John Trump stayed with the families for hours and knew the names. By the way, DementiaJoe repeatedly claimed that no member of the US military was killed on his watch. No only did he ignore the aforementioned 13, but there were three more KIA in Jordan. And the Biden retreat left behind $86 billion worth of military equipment into the hands of the Taliban.

President Donald John Trump ultimately made the command decision and provided an abrupt announcement about two hours into his private, roughly three-hour meeting with Putin, declaring he wanted a full peace deal in Ukraine rather than a cease-fire, as reported by the NY Post. Peace treaty terms are still being negotiated. Additionally, Italian Prime Minister Georgia Meloni stated that Ukraine will be under the umbrella of the aforementioned NATO Rule Five, which will station troops along the decided Ukraine-Russian border. The two prior Democratic administrations never would have had the onions to push this narrative. POTUSDJT, the real estate magnate, read the room and pushed the issue.

Yet the bootlicking dregs of the corporate, coastal, legacy mainstream media have criticized the process of establishing a permanent peace treaty, which cannot happen overnight. They are absolutely pathetic. After a historic White House meeting with the invited multiple world leaders, the cameras kept rolling for a bit and the mic’s stayed on after the meeting had ended and the result was that several world leaders expressed their surprise and disgust for how horrible the American “Mainstream Media” is. President Donald John Trump just laughed it off and says he deals with it every day, but it’s pretty incredible to see other nations noticing just how awful our legacy mainstream media is looked at.

If one looks at the Trump administration since January, 2025, it has become crystal clear that he is not a conservative, but is a moderate or centrist. President Donald John Trump has closed the borders, is in the process of balancing the budget, ridding the country of DEI and affirmative action with meritocracy gaining traction, education reform, resuscitating the domestic energy sector, higher employment numbers, supporting law enforcement, reviving the economy and peace through strength on the world stage. In just eight months, President Donald John Trump has corrected much of the damage inflicted by the radical progressive and failed Biden administration, who is easily considered one the worst, if not, the worst president in American history. And yet, POTUSDJT continues to maintain a centrist agenda.

President Ronald Reagan, Berlin 1982

And as tough as President Donald John Trump is, the man does have a soft and humane side, despite harsh criticism from the radical, progressive left who are trying to sabotage his peace efforts and attempt to keep their power. He is the most anti-war POTUS that I can remember since President Ronald Reagan. Remember President Reagan’s June 12, 1987 Berlin stance, while at the Brandenburg Gate: “ Mr. Gorbachev tear down this wall.” Which began the collapse of the USSR…until Putin, the former KGB officer.

Mrs. Washington, Mrs. Trump

Moreover, FLOTUS Melania Trump, who doesn’t really make herself public as did the last few FLOTUS’, grew up in Communist governed Yugoslavia and understands Putin’s desires for a USSR rebirth, forwarded an extremely compassionate letter that focused on the fate of approximately 19,000+ Ukrainian children who were kidnapped from their families and quite possibly indoctrinated into the Russian culture and agenda. Furthermore, Melania Trump is the second FLOTUS to grow up under, and experience, authoritarian rule. Martha Washington was a British citizen until the Revolution having grown up under the rule of the English monarchy and later King George III. Before the formal discussions began, President Trump hand-delivered a personal letter to Putin, not from himself, but from First Lady Melania Trump.

Here is the complete text of Mrs. Trump’s letter to Russian President Vladimir Putin:

Dear President Putin:

Every child shares the same quiet dreams in their heart, whether born randomly into a nation’s rustic countryside or a magnificent city-center. They dream of love, possibility, and safety from danger.

As parents, it is our duty to nurture the next generation’s hope. As leaders, the responsibility to sustain our children extends beyond the comfort of a few. Undeniably, we must strive to paint a dignity-filled world for all – so that every soul may wake to peace, and so that the future itself is perfectly guarded.

A simple yet profound concept, Mr. Putin, as I am sure you agree, is that each generation’s descendants begin their lives with a purity – an innocence which stands above geography, government, and ideology.

Yet in today’s world, some children are forced to carry a quiet laughter, untouched by the darkness around them — a silent defiance against the forces that can potentially claim their future. Mr. Putin, you can singlehandedly restore their melodic laughter.

In protecting the innocence of these children, you will do more than serve Russia alone — you serve humanity itself. Such a bold idea transcends all human division, and you, Mr. Putin, are fit to implement this vision with a stroke of the pen today.

It is time.

Sincerely,

Melania Trump

Putin read it on the spot while officials looked on. And by the way, President Zelenskyy and his wife wrote a thank you letter to Mrs. Trump. During a sit down with POTUSDJT, the Ukrainian president handed POTUSDJT the letter and said that it wasn’t for him.

From the day that then candidate Donald John Trump rode the Trump Tower escalator, the mainstream media took up the mantle of the radical, progressive leftist Democratic Party and the lies just continued to promulgate themselves like an erupting volcano. These alleged “journalists,” both print and electronic, attempted to portray themselves as objective observers, spewing their interpretations of the news with fear, but with a plethora of favor from the politicians they support. As we know, the bootlicking dregs of the coastal, corporate, legacy mainstream media pushed their false narratives regarding the Trump-Russia Hillary Clinton funded collusion, the misrepresentation of “peaceful” protests, ie. Minneapolis in 2020 and the anti-Semitic violent protests on the elite university campuses, deliberately avoided and covered up the treasonous actions of the Biden administration’s cover up of his cognitive decline and the Hunter Biden laptop story, whcih would have torp edoed DementiaJoe’s bogus 2020 win. And let’s not forget the cover up and false reporting of the 21+ million invasion of illegal aliens during the disastrous Biden presidency…if you want to call it that.

Since Inauguration Day 2025, President Donald John Trump absolutely deserves all the accolades that he has earned for putting out the global fires that Biden is responsible for. POTUSDJT has accomplished more across the board that Bush, Obama and Biden combined. Interestingly, Putin, in clear English, stated that the Ukraine-Russian war never would have happened if President Donald John Trump was in office in 2022…maybe, maybe not, but it sounds good. And yet, the bootlicking dregs of the legacy mainstream media and the radical progressive left absolutely refuse to give one of the greatest presidents in US history credit for being the peacemaker and the world leader they never thought possible as POTUSDJT must put Putin in a non-tenable position to accept the deal to end the war or deal with suffocating sanctions with an rather shaky economy. And the worst thing Putin could have done is cause President Donald John Trump to lose face.
