When immigrants arrive in America, they often lack knowledge of the party platforms shaping the political landscape. Many, having fled authoritarian regimes, assume that the "Democratic" party aligns with their values of freedom and democracy. Historically, this assumption had merit: in the last century, the Democratic Party stood as a bastion for working-class immigrants—Irish, Italian, and others—advocating for laborers, firefighters, police, and unions. Yet, over time, this identity has shifted. Today, the party has gravitated towards the interests of Wall Street, Big Tech, Big Pharma, Big Ag, and Big Data, moving away from the working class it once championed.
The Democratic Party was once synonymous with peace, resolutely opposing war. Now, it aligns with figures like Dick Cheney and John Bolton, representing a complex military-industrial alliance, a heavy involvement in global conflicts, and instigating the war in Ukraine. It was the party that protected constitutional rights and civil liberties; now, it is increasingly advocating tech surveillance, censorship, and the federal weaponization of law enforcement. Even on issues of equality, its stance has reversed: from Title IX’s initial role in promoting fair opportunities for women in sports, heavily championed by the late Senator Ted Kennedy, to the party that embraces biological males to compete in women’s sports, exposing athletic young women to life altering injuries as they compete against transgender adversaries.
Conversely, the Republican Party, once the domain of the "country club" elite, corporate giants, and industry titans, has redefined itself. This role reversal illuminates Donald Trump’s political surge, landslide victory, and alliance with figures like Robert F. Kennedy Jr., positioning him to harness the public mandate for transformative governance.
The planning for Trump’s anticipated second term was already in motion two years ago, emphasizing an agenda of institutional reform. One of my political strategy mentors has been deeply involved and instrumental in training the incoming administration so they are ready to execute from Day 1. Strategic focus areas include the State Department, border security, ICE, Justice, and Homeland Security. After all, the country must be protected and defended.
The inclusion of RFK Jr. as an advisor alongside his Vice President indicates a readiness to address America’s most critical challenges, particularly within public health. For RFK Jr., the mission is straightforward but profound: expose and dismantle Big Pharma’s hold over health policy, reinstate evidence-based science as a cornerstone of healthcare, and confront the chronic disease epidemic head-on. He is inordinately suited for this mission.
Thirty years ago, in my days manufacturing healthcare products abroad, the FDA was the global gold standard, the regulatory North Star. Today, however, agency heads seem to count down to lucrative Big Pharma board seats or powerful lobbying firms as they leave office. Integrity in evidence-based medicine has taken a backseat; clinical results are often sidelined in favor of rapid, unquestioned regulatory approvals. What was once a system of oversight and protection has become one of conflicts of interest, where public safety is scarcely prioritized.
The result? Americans as a population have become some of the sickest in the developed world. In 2024, the government allocated an astonishing $1.5 trillion to healthcare, far outpacing the $824 billion defense budget, with healthcare now consuming around 18% of the federal budget.
As we hear about new appointments impacting national security, many of us await with anticipation the future of America’s health and wellness agenda. We are hopeful that this unique and unexpected alliance with former Democrats will translate into a healthier future for our country. May they bring their expertise, commitment, and patriotism to the task, upholding the traditional values of the Democratic Party even as they shape policies within a Republican administration. Their dedication to guiding America back to health and integrity is pivotal to setting the nation back on its proper course, steering the ship of state with renewed focus on the well-being of all Americans.
Together, we will determine the course of America and the world for years to come. We will face challenges. We will confront hardships. But we will get the job done.
Donald J. Trump
Father in Heaven,
We are grateful for this time of grace, a chance to correct the course of our country. With profound thanks, we recognize the clear mandate shown in the popular and electoral vote on November 5th. We pray that President Trump is guided by wise, honest, and moral advisors who are committed to the nation’s best interests over their own. May they act with integrity, prioritizing the well-being and unity of America.
May those entrusted with leadership be guided by Your hand, moving with compassion and resolve to heal the broken and to protect the weak. Let their actions be guided by virtue and be met with integrity in every decision. We ask for Your blessing upon this land, for peace in our homes, and for the resilience to carry forward the American dream with honesty and grace.
In Jesus’ name we pray.
Amen.
