In the geopolitical world of war, hate, religious despots, territory-hungry tyrants, reckless leaders, evil actors, and maniacal would-be world conquerors, you have to be a bully. Otherwise, America ends up with meek world leadership—as we saw under Presidents Biden and Obama—allowing countries like Iran, North Korea, China, rebels in Syria, and Putin’s Russia to walk all over us. Under Biden, Iran and Russia found the perfect president to invade Israel and Ukraine, and under Obama, we saw the weak response while Christians were being slaughtered in Syria. They recognized weak American leadership and knew any response would be symbolic—meant only to save face—not a committed effort to win.

When I first arrived in high school, I was bullied. But after getting advice from my parents, I decided I wouldn’t let anyone push me around. I had a few fights, and after that, no one bothered me.

Some tough kids wanted money from me. They would watch what I brought to school for lunch. They took my lunch, spit on it, tossed it on the floor in the cafeteria, and demanded money. I went home upset and told my mother and father what happened. My mother told me I had to go back there and hurt them physically, even if I got hurt myself—and she promised me they would never bother me again. My father said I should report it to the principal. I listened to my mother.

On two different occasions, I confronted them. The first time, during lunch, I pushed their lunch table over and hit the ringleader in the head with someone’s lunch box. The second time, I walked over to them while they were eating and just stared them down, hoping to show I wasn’t afraid. That was the last time they bothered me. Yes, I got in trouble with the principal—but it was worth it.

Read Trump’s book The Art of the Deal. I use his techniques in business and in social situations. They work. Yes, Trump is a bully—but with the greatest military and largest economy in the world, he can be a bully, and he uses it to fight for the American people.

He is fighting for us—not just for Democrats or Republicans, but for all Americans. He is leveraging our military might and our economic power to gain benefits for all of us. I believe it is working.

Arnold Schwarzenegger said, “Do not be a girly-man.” Conservative radio host Mark Levin said, “Stand up for your country.” Let others know you will respond—unlike Obama did in Syria or Biden did with Ukraine and Israel. The world is a corrupt, sick place with too many foolish people, and you have to let them know you are not weak or naïve, like Presidents Biden and Obama were when the “you-know-what hit the fan.”

If you give an inch, they take a foot. If you strike back, you instill fear and doubt in their minds—and gain power and strategic leverage for the future.

Thanks, Mom. Thanks, Dad. But I liked Mom’s way better. It worked. I felt energized, proud, satisfied—I even enjoyed the revenge—and it taught me a lesson in life. Many in the school heard about it or witnessed it and thought I was nuts. They just didn’t know the whole story.

Sometimes in the hallways, going from class to class, kids would point at me or give me a strange look. I thought I knew what they were thinking—that I was crazy. I hoped so. They may not have liked me, but they feared and respected me.

So be strong, stand up for your country, thank your president, and be a MAGA Republican.
