MAGA is back baby!
And President Trump is back….back to Capitol Hill.
Back to leading the Republican Party, and nothing was more clear than when he entered a room full of Republicans today and received thunderous applause.
Take a look:

President Trump spoke of tremendous unity in the Republican Party and I think he’s exactly right:
TRUMP: “There’s tremendous unity in the Republican Party. We want to see borders. We want to see a strong military. We want to see money not wasted all over the world. We don’t want to see Russian ships off of the coast of Florida..” pic.twitter.com/1ax2nPzstP

The funniest post I saw the entire day was this one from Paul Ingrassia saying President Trump should just quietly move back into the White House while Biden is overseas and change the locks:
President Trump should just quietly move back into the White House today while Sleepy Joe is overseas, change all the locks, and call it a day.

Not a bad idea!
Although I seriously wonder if he will return to that White House at all….or will he want to make Mar-a-Lago the new White House?
Another topic for another time.
At one point, they even gave President Trump a birthday cake!

After several closed door meetings, President Trump gave a press conference which you can watch here:

CNN covered the visit, although with a typical negative tone:
Former President Donald Trump led House Republicans through a gripe-filled closed-door meeting on Capitol Hill on Thursday, airing grievances about his legal and electoral challenges, attacking his critics in the room, and only briefly addressing policy matters like abortion and taxes, according to multiple GOP lawmakers in the room.
In his first time returning to the Capitol campus area since leaving office after the January 6, 2021, riot, the former president met with lawmakers for over an hour.
In between rants about Taylor Swift and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Trump went after his detractors – those who have since lost their seats and some who were in the room – as he warned Republicans to not be afraid of the hot button issue of abortion.
In a sign that the former president is reveling in how the party has fallen in line behind him, Trump bragged that most of the 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach him were no longer in office and singled out one of the remaining two GOP lawmakers left: GOP Rep. David Valadao of California.
“I never loved him,” Trump said of Valadao, according to a GOP member.
As a number of House Republicans find themselves in competitive primary races, the former president said he wanted to do tele-town halls, but acknowledged his help would not be welcomed by some, given that he had endorsed their primary opponents.
Trump did not shy away from acknowledging the bad blood between House Speaker Mike Johnson and GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who unsuccessfully tried to oust Johnson against Trump’s wishes. The former president playfully asked Greene, a staunch ally of his who he strongly supports, to be nice to the speaker.
ADVERTISEMENT“He’s always so sweet, recognizing me, and he said ‘are you being nice to Speaker Johnson?’ He was joking. And I said ‘eh,’” as she gestured with her hands. “He said ‘OK be nice to him’ and I nodded my head,” she added.
Johnson, after the meeting, said the former president told him that he was doing “a very good job” and that he plans to be “fully prepared” to implement Trump’s plans if he wins in November.
….
Trump off topic
There were a number of moments where the former president went off topic.As Trump was ranting about crime rates and so-called election integrity issues, the former president called Milwaukee – where Republicans are holding their convention this summer – “horrible,” according to a source in the room.
Rep. Derrick Van Orden, a Wisconsin Republican who was in the room, made clear to CNN that Trump was “specifically referring to crime in Milwaukee” and not the city itself.
In one bizarre moment, Trump called Pelosi’s daughter a “wacko” and then claimed her daughter once told him that he and the former House speaker would have had a “great romance” in another life, according to a lawmaker in the room..
In response to Trump’s comments, one of Pelosi’s daughters posted on X: “speaking for all 4 Pelosi daughters — this is a LIE. His deceitful, deranged obsession with our mother is yet another reason Donald Trump is unwell, unhinged and unfit to step foot anywhere near her — or the White House.”
He also questioned why popstar Taylor Swift would support President Joe Biden over him, whom he referred to as a “dope.”
“Why would she endorse this dope,” Trump said, according to a member in the room. “He doesn’t know how to get off a stage.”
The former president even said at one point of Hannibal Lecter: “Nice guy … he even had a friend over for dinner.”
At the start of the meeting, House Republicans sang happy birthday to the former president, whose birthday is Friday, and presented him with the game ball and bat from the congressional baseball game that Republican won on Wednesday, according to a source in the room.

….
Senate meeting striking a more unifying tone
A few hours later, Trump met with Senate Republicans behind closed doors and – lawmakers said – struck a unifying tone.Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, who has had a distant and icy relationship with the former president and has not spoken directly to him since December 2020, said that he shook hands with Trump and that the meeting was positive.
“I can’t think of anything to tell you out of it that was negative,” he said.
The former president sat between McConnell and Sen. John Thune of South Dakota, who also has had a rocky relationship with the former president.
“He is the choice of our voters overwhelmingly. It shows that he is absolutely the leader of the party,” Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri said of Trump. “I mean, you had people who have vociferously opposed him, who were sitting right next to him in the room.”
Perhaps the biggest news of the day was this:
President Trump: Eliminate Tax On Tips? How About We Eliminate The Entire IRS!
And I want to end with something I've been saying for several months now, but it was especially noticeable today:
It Feels Like 2016 All Over Again!
For the last couple of months, I've been saying that it suddenly feels like 2016 all over again.
Hard to explain it, but the "vibe" right now feels very 2016.
I'll explain more below, but basically in 2016 what was happening?
Trump was untouchable.
He was teflon.
Each attack bounced off him and only made him stronger.
That exact same thing is playing out again right now.
In 2020, it wasn't like that.
Everything felt "off".
Whether that was an intentional play by the Trump Team to let this "movie" play out remains to be seen.
But everything about 2020 was wrong.
Not so in 2016.
In 2016, Trump defied all "experts".
And that same script is playing out right now in 2023 as we repeat the 2015-2106 cycle.
But I'm not the only one to notice it.
My friend Patrick Bet-David just posted this:
What are the chances of the episode number being 2016? 🤔 pic.twitter.com/woS3Myis8N

Exactly right PBD!
You get it!
Hey by the way, when are you coming on my show?
We have to rap! So much we can cover, it would be a true honor to have you on.
Ok, now back to more about what I mean when I say it feels like 2016 all over again....
Start here:
President Trump: Dream BOLD Again!
Sometimes it's important to pause and refuel the batteries.
The Nation is in a bad place right now...
We're engaged in battles on nearly every front.
President Trump is facing an unknown number of sham indictments.
Biden has sold out our Country to the highest bidder (literally).
And yet....
There is reason to dream big.
To dream bold!
To be optimistic!
And there's no one better to deliver that message that Donald John Trump himself.
Folks, I keep saying this looks and feels like 2015 all over again to me.
I can't explain it other than to say that.
Can you feel it?
It feels like we've just taken that escalator ride down Trump Tower and now we're picking off 17 Republican challengers on our way to a historic and unprecedented White House victory.
So while we're fighting battles on all fronts, I also can't help but be incredibly excited for our future and for the historic counter-punch that is about to go down in history.

DIVINE BOOMERANG: Deep Stater Jack Smith Just Bit Off More Than He Can Chew!
I keep saying it feels like 2015 all over again!
I started saying that about 3-4 months ago and it's become more and more true ever since.
Can you feel it?
Have you noticed?
What exactly do I mean by that?
What I mean is in 2015 everything just kept aligning.
Every attack against Trump would fall off him like Teflon but then boomerang back around to take down the person who launched it.
In fact, it became so obvious and so fascinating that we nicknamed it the "Trump Boomerang Effect".
In 2019/2020, everything felt "off".
Things were not right.
Whether that was all "part of the plan" and "part of the script" or not remains to be seen, but nothing felt right at that time, leading to the incredibly fake and wrong stolen election.
But this time around in 2023 as we head into 2024?
It just feels like 2015 to me all over again!
So much so that the Trump Boomerang Effect has returned!
Now many are calling it the "Divine Boomerang".....
I like that name!
Here's the deal...
By filing this latest indictment, Jack Smith and his cronies just made a fatal mistake.
They opened up a venue for President Trump and his team to now have full subpoena power and to now litigate the 2020 election!
You want to see the evidence presented meticulously piece by piece?
Now that can happen and Mike Pence and CONgress can't do a damn thing about it!
Divine indeed:

Like a kid in a candy store!
Kash on the Trump trial: “I can’t WAIT for this trial to come because the subpoena list that Donald Trump should execute in these proceedings is going to be monumental….

Kash even using the term "boomerang"!
I told you, we are reliving 2015 right now, and the beautiful thing is you know how this story ends!
Get that popcorn ready, you're gonna LOVE the end of this movie!

It really feels like 2015 all over again to me...
I can't fully explain it, but the vibe is the same.
The vibe in 2019/2020 was off.
Everything was off.
But it feels like a carbon copy of the cycle we went through in 2015/2016 is repeating itself right now.
Right down to Melania Trump stepping back into the spotlight and catching attention for her classy and glamorous fashion!
