Trump Promises ‘Quantum Leap’ for a New America
Former President Donald Trump has revealed his dream for a new America ahead of the 2024 presidential race, promising to bring back the country’s boldness “in a very big way” and heralding a “quantum leap” in living standards.

They pushed across an unsettled continent and built new cities in the wild frontier. They transformed American life with the interstate highway system, magnificent it was, and they launched a vast network of satellites into orbit all around the earth. But today, our country has lost its boldness. Under my leadership, we will get it back in a very big way,” Trump said in a video address released Friday.
“If you look at just three years ago, what we were doing was unthinkable. How good it was, how great it was for our country. Our objective will be a quantum leap in the American standard of living. That’s what will happen.”
Pointing out that a third of the American landmass is owned by the federal government, Trump noted that just a “very small portion of that land” amounting to “one-half of one percent” can be used to hold a contest to “charter up to 10 new cities and award them to the best proposals for development.”
“In other words, we’ll actually build new cities in our country again. These Freedom Cities will reopen the frontier, reignite American imagination, and give hundreds of thousands of young people and other people, all hard-working families, a new shot at home ownership and in fact the American dream.”
Transportation, Manufacturing
A “big opportunity” that Trump cites in the video is in the transportation sector. In the United States and China, numerous companies are “racing” to develop vertical takeoff and landing vehicles.
In the last century, it was the United States that led the automotive revolution. “I want to ensure that America, not China, leads the revolution in air mobility. These breakthroughs can transform commerce, bring a giant infusion of wealth into rural America, and connect families in our country in new ways,” Trump said.
An American company engaged in vertical takeoff vehicle development is California-based Wisk. Last January, Wisk announced that it had secured $450 million in funding from Boeing.
In August, San Jose-based Archer Aviation received a $10 million deposit from United Airlines for an order of 100 electric takeoff and landing air taxis.
Trump also proposed a “strategic national manufacturing initiative” that will turn “forgotten communities into hives of industry.” This will ensure that these communities produce goods that the United States will no longer have to import from China. The initiative is going to be “very, very successful.”
The American manufacturing sector is currently struggling through various challenges like inflation, talent scarcity, supply chain problems, and economic uncertainty.
“Manufacturers continue to grapple with talent challenges that may limit the industry’s growth momentum. Moreover, supply-chain issues, including sourcing bottlenecks, global logistics backlogs, cost pressures, and cyberattacks, will likely remain critical challenges in 2023,” Deloitte said in its 2023 manufacturing outlook report.
Lowering Costs, Other Initiatives
Trump also promised to introduce a “major initiative” to lower the cost of living, especially focusing on reducing the cost of a new car and the cost of building single-family homes.
Annual inflation has remained above 6 percent every single month since October 2021. New vehicle inflation has remained above 5 percent every month since June 2021.
The median sales price of homes in the country hit $467,000 in the fourth quarter, up 10. 4 percent from the same period a year back. The United States is estimated to be facing a shortage of 3.8 million to 5 million homes.
Trump also intends to ask Congress to support “baby bonuses” for young parents, a move he hopes will trigger a “baby boom.”
He promised to carry out a “great modernization and beautification campaign” in 50 states that will get rid of ugly buildings, refurbish public spaces and parks, ensure a pristine environment, make cities and towns more livable, and build “towering monuments to our true American heroes.”
“Very importantly, I will also make sure all of these new places are safe. We love and cherish our police. They will do the job the way they have to,” Trump said.
“It is time to start talking about greatness for our country again. I will dramatically increase living standards and build a future that brings our country together through excitement, opportunity, and success.”
For the first time in my life I listened to a full speech from Donald Trump.
It was two hours and every word it made complete sense.
I wish my country had a leader even half as smart and dedicated to the citizens.
I cannot believe how many years I believed the lies from the…

TRUMP PREVIEWS ANTICIPATED CPAC SPEECH ON SATURDAY: ‘SEE YOU THERE!’
By RSBN, March 2, 2023
President Donald Trump promised to deliver a recipe that would “fix” the myriad of problems plaguing the United States at the hands of the inept Biden administration, previewing his anticipated remarks on Saturday at the 2023 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in a statement posted to Truth Social.
“I will be at CPAC on Saturday, talking about the fact that, obviously, our Country is going to ‘HELL,’ and how to fix it,” he wrote on Thursday. “Also, the Democrats use of Radical Left Prosecutors and the WEAPONIZATION OF LAW ENFORCEMENT. It is illegal, has never been used and abused like this, and has the potential to bring down our once fair and wonderful Country. These Marxist Thugs have been after me for years, only to help them win elections. In just Two Years, we have become a Third World Failing Nation. MAGA!!!”
Highlights:
“We are going to finish what we started,” he said. “We’re going to complete the mission. We’re going to see this battle through to ultimate victory.”
“This is the final battle,” he said.
News On 6: He also argued the experience of his first term is a plus: “Now I am experienced and I know the people of Washington.”
“We’ll appropriately deal with the RINOs,” he said, referencing the moniker for “Republicans In Name Only.” “We will never go back to the party of Paul Ryan, Karl Rove and Jeb Bush.”
Rove held a donor conference in Austin, Texas, last week featuring several potential 2024 candidates, while Ryan, the 2012 GOP vice presidential nominee, has said he’ll support “anybody but Trump” in the 2024 race.
Trump took note of how some Republicans, without naming them — such as his former Vice President Mike Pence, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, and Nikki Haley, former U.S. ambassador to the U.N. — have supported reforms to social security and medicare.
“We are never going back to the people that want to destroy our great social security system … even some in our own party, I wonder who that might be,” he said.
On foreign policy, another issue that has divided Trump from other potential opponents, he repeatedly talked about preventing further U.S. intervention in wars, and claimed he “will prevent, very easily, World War III. And you’re going to have World War III if something doesn’t happen fast.”
Trump frequently brought up the multiple subpoenas he’s received regarding both his handling of classified documents found at his resort in Mar-a-Lago, to his role in the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol that was investigated by a House select committee.
Trump is also facing a civil lawsuit from New York Attorney General Letitia James, who alleges the former president and his business committed fraud by manipulating his property values to his benefit. He is also facing an investigation in Georgia over his attempts to overturn his loss in the state in the 2020 general election.
Trump called James and Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, both of whom are Black women, as “racist.”
“Every time the polls get higher and higher, the prosecutors get crazier and crazier,” Trump said, joking that he didn’t know the word “subpoena” until after he became president.
“They’re not coming after me, they’re coming after you, and that’s why I’m standing here today. I’m standing before you because we’re going to finish what we started. We’re going to complete the mission,” Trump, who launched his third bid for the presidency in November 2022, told the supportive CPAC crowd that frequently chanted “four more years!”
Trump also alleged he “won the second election,” a continuation of his baseless claims that the 2020 election was stolen. The rhetoric has been cited by Republicans publicly as a reason for the party’s lackluster performance in the 2022 midterm elections.
Prior to his speech, Trump cleared the conference’s straw poll — which CPAC says 2,000 attendees completed — with 62% of the vote. DeSantis, thought of as Trump’s most formidable rival in part due to his history of fundraising and rankings in early polls on the primary, was second with 20% of the vote.
The event, which usually attracts a number of presidential hopefuls beginning to launch their campaigns, featured only the other two candidates who have declared their candidacy, Haley, and biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy. Among the major GOP figures mulling a bid, only former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo addressed the conference. Several of them skipped out on CPAC and instead appeared at a donor retreat in Palm Beach, Florida, hosted by the conservative group Club for Growth.
The absence of the other possible contenders did not escape Trump’s notice. He posted on Truth Social Thursday, “The only reason certain ‘candidates’ won’t be going to CPAC is because the crowds have no interest in anything they have to say. They’ve heard it all before, and don’t want to hear it again.”
The conference was filled with Trump allies and his former administration officials, both on the speaking lineup on the main stage, and in the numerous conservative media booths that line the hallways.
Before his keynote speech, Trump gave remarks to a private gathering at the conference with VIP donors and Republican figures, such as unsuccessful Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia and conservative commentator and lawyer Mark Levin.
From outside the room, he was heard saying he gets a subpoena “every time I fly over a blue state.”
Greene, who has already announced she’s backing Trump, took questions from reporters Friday during which she criticized or dismissed Trump’s official and potential presidential primary opponents, such as Haley or Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who did not attend the conference.
“It’s nice that they’re running, but they’re not going to win,” Greene predicted when she was asked about the Republican politicians who opted not to attend the conference.
Though he hasn’t announced an official 2024 campaign yet, DeSantis is considered Trump’s biggest threat in a primary. Trump and his campaign have already gone on the attack against the Florida governor he endorsed in 2018, regularly referring to him as “Ron DeSanctimonious” and running Facebook ads showing a photo of DeSantis and Trump with the caption: “Pictured: An Apprentice Learning from the Master.”
DeSantis has glossed over Trump’s criticism, and in a recent Fox News interview pointed to Trump’s 2018 support for him.
“Then I win a big victory and all of a sudden, you know, he had different opinions, and so you can take that for what it’s worth,” DeSantis told Fox News on Tuesday..
“I mean, he’s obviously a big, big fish, but I get attacked all the time from every different angle and you either put points on the board or you don’t. And so I just focus on delivering the wins. And I think we’ve done a pretty good job of following through on our promises,” DeSantis added.
Haley, who spoke at CPAC on Friday and was greeted with chants of “Trump! Trump! Trump!” by his supporters as she was leaving the conference, took some shots at the former president during her remarks to the Club for Growth donor retreat on Saturday.
“The last two Republican presidents added more than $10 trillion to the national debt. Think about that. A third of our debt happened under just two Republicans,” said Haley, who has argued she represents the generational change needed for the party. “If we nominate another big spender in 2024, we’re going to lose.”
Laura Thilman, a Republican voter from Arizona, said while “it’s way too early” to pick a presidential primary candidate, she’d vote for Trump “if I had to vote today.”
“We need a president that’s going to come in and hit the ground running,” she said. “But here’s the deal, the best man wins. I’m not clairvoyant, I don’t know who that could be yet.”

Meanwhile, Ron DeSantis is steadily ingratiating himself with RINO and globalist special interests, and has even spoken before the CCP-connected “Club for Growth.” One commentator even said he prefers hanging out with the “champagne and caviar” crowd over the “meat and potatoes” crowd.
If that isn’t proof, then . . .

And if DeSantis gets the nomination, and actually believes the Dimms/Media will be kinder to him than Trump, he’s dreaming. The dimms are already ‘loading up’ ways to attack him. And the truth doesn’t mean anything to the marxists/communists.

The only way that Trump will be able to get into office, is if the Trump voters and supporters can overcome vote fraud. Otherwise things will not be any different than they are now. Hopefully the US can keep from delving into any further destruction under CCP owned bidet.

How many times does Bill Barr have to admit there wasn’t much election fraud?

Returning to our Christian-faith based values must be first and foremost or all efforts for our nation to return to supremacy will ultimately fail. America has a spiritual problem that sorely needs immediate attention. If any of you fail to see my vision all you need do is look at the moral decline and decay, not only of America, but the world. Remove God and chaos is surely to ensue. First in Europe and now it is here.

Exactly. Because we were founded and built on Judeo-Christian values – NOT Greenwich Village/San Francisco/Fire Island/Key West “values” that are one of the main drivers of this moral decay we are now witness to. Our founding was hashed out in numerous and various statehouses – NOT in bathhouses or outhouses or Stonewall-type bars.

‘Trump also alleged he “won the second election,” a continuation of his baseless claims that the 2020 election was stolen. The rhetoric has been cited by Republicans publicly as a reason for the party’s lackluster performance in the 2022 midterm elections.’ I was wondering who would write something like this and found it was part of an article from CBS News. Needs a disclaimer!

Fox has its own problems – one of the main ones being Never Trumper and RINO Paul Ryan being on its board and having massive sway over Murdoch and, by extension, the network’s personalities – but like you were saying about CBS and the so-called “legacy media” . . .
