Donald John Trump has read the Joy of Losing By this method, we persist. It is time for DEALS.

The opposite of the optimal route that will end in defeat in 2028. Promoting Miller is wise, but there are alternatives to lawfare and war. That is DEALS. Deportations and deals while we rebuild the party.

At the end we return to the beginning: Reasonable, populist, moderate compromise. The golden path.
We have a decent hand for the run-up to 2028, but we must play it correctly. The situation isn't as grim as people think. Mr. STAR and The Meteor Magazine have great forward-looking "concepts of a plan."

It is time for DEALS We can either suffer two years of Trump One trials and impeachments again or walk the golden path towards a much stranger and yet brighter future. The golden path is ending the war in Iran, engaging with moderate democrats (who only won with republican votes) to pass big, good legislation for young and middle aged people, while building our party back up. That is the golden path: the art of the deal. The way of the builder. Build the party in the background. Negotiate in the foreground. Do not repeat 2019/2020. 🙏🏻

This is the way. It is time for DEALS. Our lame duck can still sign legislation. He can still call people. He can return to his roots: time for the art of the deal, 2.0. We must do socialism with our left hand, to shield America with our right.
To undermine socialists, Bismarck, ironically, preemptively implemented some social welfare reforms. That playbook could be something to think about for Republicans. Especially those running in places like Virginia and other blue leaning states.

Trump should strike a deal to eliminate student loan debt. This would help his reputation, is workable with a blue congress, and would be a total repudiation of the conservativism that drove this loss. A fighting chance for Republicans in 2028 is not out but through the same game of gibs that D's play.
Student loans are a pareto issue on the federal level and you can literally bury this as an issue, give young americans a nice head start in a hard time, and neuter the opposition by doing this before anyone else can in a controlled way.
