President Trump was banned from Youtube Jan '21 to March '23. He was therefore forced to post new policy videos to Rumble. Such as this one, which went viral today but is from Dec '22. You didn't see his video about censorship because he was censored.

If you want to fix a broken system, you have to pull money OUT, not put more money IN. If you put more money IN, the system interprets it as a reward and uses the money to become even more broken. We get this for businesses. We forget it for nonprofits and governments. 🤔.

America is an economic coiled spring. We should be growing at least 4% annually and ideally 6-8%+. Growth has been brutally suppressed since before I was born. But there is so much to build. And the payoff for all Americans will be incredible. 🇺🇸.
