I’ve spent a long time arguing against the executive agreement that the Obama Administration inked with Iran in 2015. One of the earliest points of agreement that I had with President Donald Trump was over his consistent, forceful, criticism of that deal as “the worst deal” in history. Recently, however, I’ve become dismayed
Like many, I was pleased by Donald Trump’s recent speech to the Polish people. Many commentators have lauded (or lamented) the fact that it was interspersed with references to the defense of Western Civilization and called for a rekindling of Christian culture across both Europe and America. However, few have noted the geopolitical
Almighty God: Our sons, pride of our nation, this day have set upon a mighty endeavor, a struggle to preserve our Republic, our religion, our civilization and to set free suffering humanity....and we know that by thy grace, and the righteousness of our cause, our sons will triumph." Who wrote those words? Someone
Dr. Sebastian Gorka, deputy assistant to the president, joined American Greatness publisher Chris Buskirk on the radio Monday afternoon to discuss Donald Trump’s new “America First” foreign policy and how it’s working. “America First is reinstating America’s place in the world,” Gorka told Buskirk.

The Financial Times accuses President Trump of suffering from an odious, if tongue-in-cheek malady called trade deficit disorder (TDD). The symptoms? A bizarre and unjustified desire to impose tariffs, thereby ensuring America sells as much as it buys on the international markets. Of course, Trump is not suffering alone with this malady: many
President Trump’s remarkable speech in Poland on Thursday reminded me in some respects of Churchill’s Zurich Speech, Solzhenitsyn’s Warnings to the West, Coolidge’s Speech on the Declaration, and, at the end, of Churchill’s speech of June 4, 1940, to the House of Commons (“We shall fight on the beaches...”). Yet the president’s speech
During his first official speech on foreign soil, President Trump presented himself as someone whose foreign policy expertise reaches far beyond a collection of Twitter jabs.

What percentage of lifetime earnings will you get to spend on yourself or your family? Combining federal, state and local income taxes, Social Security and Medicare, the average American pays around 30 percent right off the top of annual income, but that’s hardly the whole story: combined local and state sales taxes can
