Geopolitical analyst Tom Luongo expresses frustration that people don't understand how the system works, arguing that Trump's first year has necessarily been spent reasserting Article II presidential powers through the court system after decades of erosion by the managerial state, a process that requires letting hostile judges block executive orders so the Supreme Court can knock them down and reestablish proper constitutional boundaries. He explains that with only a narrow House majority, a "fake" three-seat Senate majority where 90% of the Uniparty would impeach Trump, and obstructionists like Chuck Grassley blocking judicial appointments through "blue slip" policies, Attorney General Pam Bondi can't even appoint DAs to prosecute cases—making this year primarily about educating Americans on why nothing can get done and exposing the structural dysfunction, such as when the Comey and Leticia James cases were thrown out due to improperly appointed prosecutors, revealing the depth of institutional sabotage.

Tom Luongo: Trump's First Year Was About Re-Educating Americans on How Broken the System Actually Is

Geopolitical analyst Tom Luongo argues that Trump should bypass traditional media and speak directly to Americans through regular YouTube sessions—either in Q&A format or sitting down with cabinet members to explain policy details the public doesn't understand, such as how Biden-era rules still govern unreformed departments or how processing each illegal immigrant through NGOs cost taxpayers roughly $50,000 per person. Luongo contends that Trump, like Putin, is actually too moderate and moving too slowly, and that younger Gen Z Americans would support him going "harder and faster" on reform if he simply communicated the facts directly to them through accessible digital platforms rather than relying on formal speeches where he's less effective.

Geopolitical analyst Tom Luongo accuses certain libertarian anti-war activists of being "Trotskyites" driven by "permanent revolution" psychology—a personality flaw rooted in abandonment and parental issues rather than genuine political principle, where nothing is ever good enough. He specifically criticizes the antiwar.com crew and Scott Horton for abandoning the realpolitik approach of founder Justin Raimondo, who understood geopolitics as "about what you could get," and instead devolving into oppositional actors "acting out the hole in their heart," unworthy of standing in Raimondo's shadow.

$Geopolitical analyst Tom Luongo proposes a bold political strategy for advancing Trump's agenda by targeting Senator Chuck Grassley's dependency on Iowa's corn subsidies and ethanol industry protections. Luongo argues that eliminating "blue slip" procedures—which Grassley supports and which block judicial appointments—could be achieved by threatening to dismantle the Renewable Identification Numbers system and corn-based ethanol subsidies that undergird Iowa's agricultural economy. He contends that with American oil production surging and fracking costs declining due to technological innovations, corn-based ethanol has become economically obsolete, making Grassley's protection of these policies a political vulnerability that could be exploited to force his cooperation on judicial confirmations and other legislative priorities.

Geopolitical analyst Tom Luongo offers a candid assessment of former President Donald Trump's political strategy and economic agenda. While acknowledging Trump's ambitious goals—from reforming the Federal Reserve and housing market to reclaiming what he sees as lost American wealth—Luongo argues that Trump's greatest weakness lies in his media engagement strategy. Rather than validating traditional media by letting them "get under his skin," Luongo suggests Trump should bypass them entirely through direct communication with voters. Most critically, he emphasizes that Trump has yet to effectively articulate how his economic reform agenda will benefit younger generations, a messaging gap that could prove crucial as the 2027 target date approaches.

Geopolitical analyst Tom Luongo challenges the libertarian and Bitcoin orthodoxy that views the Federal Reserve as inherently evil, arguing that Bitcoin emerged as a response to a Fed staffed by "traitors" working for transnational globalists, not because central banking itself is fundamentally flawed. He suggests that a Federal Reserve run by sovereigntists rather than globalists could create sound money by incorporating Bitcoin's concept of pristine collateral alongside gold, potentially defending the dollar's infrastructure rather than destroying it. Luongo criticizes those who have built their identity around opposing centralization, noting that the world is hyper-centralized and currently run by what he describes as "balless eunuchs LARPing as middle managers"—a system that can't be dismantled overnight through pure decentralization fantasies.

Geopolitical analyst Tom Luongo argues that pressure on Venezuela is actually targeting London and the broader international network behind drug trafficking, defending Trump's aggressive actions against suspected cartel boats in international waters despite criticism from "newly minted UNCLOS experts" like Rand Paul. Luongo invokes Castle Doctrine at the national level, asserting that when more Americans die annually from drug overdoses than were killed per year in the Civil War, the president has every right to use military force against drug runners, dismissing concerns about international law and declaring that senators who don't understand this principle of national self-defense are unfit for office.

$Geopolitical analyst Tom Luongo criticizes Rep. Thomas Massie for creating false divisions within the MAGA movement by positioning himself as more conservative than Trump through symbolic gestures like blocking E-Verify legislation and demanding immediate NATO withdrawal despite Trump's 2027 exit plan. Luongo argues that Massie's "libertarian politics of false timetables"—voting with Trump 91% of the time but opposing him on critical 9% of issues—is designed to appeal to "oppositionally defiant" libertarians and suppress voter turnout in midterm elections, ultimately serving establishment interests by fracturing the populist coalition.

Geopolitical analyst Tom Luongo launches a blistering attack on Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, calling her "AOC for MAGAtards" and accusing her of being controlled opposition who was never genuinely MAGA. Luongo points to her abrupt exit from Congress and her appearance on 60 Minutes—where she invoked Jamal Khashoggi to criticize Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman—as proof she's running a psyop, arguing that anyone informed knows Khashoggi was a CIA asset likely killed by MI-6 or Turkish intelligence, not MBS, and that her willingness to undermine Trump's Middle East realignment reveals her true allegiance to establishment interests rather than the America First movement.

High trust doesn’t just mean low crime. Only 35% of Singaporeans say most people can be trusted. That number is 83% in Sweden. That’s high trust. Singapore can’t even have trial by jury because jurists always sided with their co-ethnics. It’s low crime, not high trust.
