Over 15,000 people have watched my webinar from a couple weeks ago explaining why D.C. is not a swamp!
It’s a beautiful City on a Hill that shines a light for the entire world to see.
The palace is adorned, the table is set beautifully but the guests we keep inviting out to D.C. to do our work are simply NOT WORTHY of the position.
We need to hire QUALIFIED people– NOT PUPPETS– to serve us in D.C. and we just haven’t been doing it.
Join the Troutman For America movement to assure we only get THE BEST OF THE BEST in D.C. from now on to take care of the American people and serve them well and faithfully the way the Constitution says!
Over 15,000 people have watched this video– you should too!
I wrote the other day we might want to “ban” political parties and the internet went nuts.
Thousands of reads and tons of engagement. People are really talking about this but most folks don’t understand how IMPORTANT banning the parties might actually be for all of us.
Most folks don’t know this but there were actually zero political parties when our nation was founded.
There’s a reason the constitution does not mention political parties– they were NOT supposed to be part of our system of government.
Indeed political parties– or “clubs” as they were called– were actually banned in many parts of Europe at the time and the founders feared “factions” and developed a system designed to prevent “parties” from taking hold.
Their system was genius and although political parties sprang into existence shortly after the creation of our nation they rarely were able to exercise complete control over our government thanks to our system of checks and balances.
Lately that system has been eroded and directly attacked as the two parties become more extreme and desperate for control.
The truth is both the Democrats and the Republicans are dying brands. Nobody considers themselves a D or an R anymore– they just REJECT the other side.
And it’s no surprise– NEITHER PARTY CAN LEAD!
Anytime one party takes control Americans reject them soundly and want to switch horses. Just like currently everybody wants the Republicans out because they are doing a terrible job.
But guess what if/when the Democrats take over it will be the same thing! Americans will throw them out the first chance they get also.
And on and on and on.
Let’s put an end to this folks. Back Troutman and let’s explore doing away with the parties.
The Democrats are all up in arms about ICE right now but they just had a chance to do something about it in Congress and they totally failed.
Whether you agree with the ICE raids or disagree– my thoughts are here— you CANNOT disagree that the Dems are very weak and TERRIBLE negotiators.
Here’s what I mean.
Congress just voted to pass a bill to continue funding ICE operations. The vote was 220-207.
But look closer.
7 democrats voted for the bill along with 213 republicans.
So what?
Well, if the Democrats had stuck together– the way Republicans know how to do– the vote would have been 214-213 AGAINST funding ICE.
The Democrats would have WON. But they didn’t. Weak.
Now the bill did a lot of other things too. But if the Democrats had hung together they would have had tremendous negotiating power to get more things done for their side. They could have scored HUGE concessions. Maybe a pull out of ICE from Minnesota or a deal with how ICE would apprehend criminals. But they are very weak and they cannot make good deals.
Min doesn’t know how to make deals. He just sends letters and whines on X.
This is why Americans don’t (and can’t) trust the Democrats. They are terrible at getting things done in D.C.– just TERRIBLE– even when they’re on the right side of an issue.
But notice something else.
Let’s say the Democrats had stuck it out. And the Republicans voted as a block.
214-213, right?
But if Troutman was in Congress…
213-213.
With Troutman holding the deciding vote.
Now THAT my friends is what you’re voting for.
Because just IMAGINE what I could get done with that kind of leverage out there.
The most powerful man in Congress by a mile. The deals I could deliver for District 47 would be INSANE.
Min, Maxsenti, Miranda I know you all are reading this.
Came from nothing. Decided at a young age I would be a world class top gun litigator travelling the country handling the highest-stakes cases.
And wouldn’t you know it. Here I am.
But it didn’t come easy. In fact, the price is almost unimaginable.
To succeed at this level takes more than hard work. More than drive. More than passion.
It takes an undying love.
A fire few can understand.
But YouTuber Mr. Beast does.
He published this video of himself from 10 years ago–a skinny kid desperate to get 1,000,000 followers on YouTube– and then reacted to it recently all grown up and wildly successful.
Probably surprising to hear that this video really touches a chord with me.
Some people have a fate. They have a calling. And they will do whatever it takes to be worthy of that fate.
Its not a choice.
Its what they were born to do.
Its what the universe requires of them.
It may sound dumb to be obsessed with YouTube–and maybe it is in some ways– but to be the greatest at something (even something seemingly trivial) is never dumb.
Elevating the human species to new heights at anything is always to be appreciated. Because the sacrifice that goes into it is tremendous. And when sacrifice connects with integrity you see something really special.
The skinny kid in this video was meant for greatness. He couldn’t have known his fate and his future but he believed. He wanted it so badly his mind could think of nothing else. He lost friends. He became socially awkward. He couldn’t cope in normal society.
But the universe had a plan for him. And his obsession would pay off. He was not going to be denied.
Even as people tuned on him, judged him, roasted him. Told him to stay quiet. That he would fail. That he would never succeed. He kept going.
Because it was to meant to be.
And look how happy he is now! He did it!
Beast continues to work hard. He continues to be grateful. He continues to be generous. He uses his vehicle for good. And he continues to grow. And he is the happiest guy in the world as a result.
I relate very deeply with this video.
I’m not some cheesy YouTuber, I am a world-class attorney. But I continue to work hard. I continue to be grateful. I continue to be generous. I use my platform for good and to effectuate positive change (like stopping robocalls and saving our nation). And I am the happiest guy in the world as a result.
I work obsessively to this day–and I am the happiest guy in the world because I am living my dream.
But I am not done.
I have another dream. And it includes all of you.
Know that inside this powerful attorney beats the heart of a young kid very much like the Beast you see in this video. But what he yearns for isn’t 1,000,000 YouTube followers– its to fix the nation. Have it be united again. To have it work the way the founders intended.
Probably sounds cheesy, but this is genuine.
That is my deep passion. I have a love for this project that is just as all-encompassing as 17 y/o Beast’s.
Today I am “just” a lawyer. A great lawyer sure but not a household name. Just a regular incredibly successful guy that handles the toughest cases in the nation.
Ok fine, there’s nothing “normal” about me. But I have no political apparatus to speak of.
I have many friends, but no great movement. Superb ideas, but no real vehicles to drive change just yet. A dedicated team, but a team built for litigation conquests, not political adventurism.
Really, I have nothing. No party supporting me. No Super PAC. I won’t even take any corporate money.
I just have you.
My loyal readers.
My beginnings are humble. But I am guided by a love and a fire that must be the future calling. What do you think? Am I going to pull it off? Will you help?
So woke up about an hour ago to the news that the U.S. had kidnapped– I will just go ahead and use that word–Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.
Crazy right?
We just sent in an elite military unit and stole another country’s president. Just took him.
That’s nuts.
But…. I am backing President Trump on it, at least for now.
Let me explain why.
Watch this video for my full views
So the constitution gives the president two sets of very different powers.
On the one hand he is our nation’s chief law enforcement officer. He must enforce laws created by Congress in a manner that is fair and just and constitutional. And we–as American citizens– have the right (duty) to deeply protest when he oversteps his bounds and does something contrary to the constitution, like deploying the military or the national guard into our cities without appropriate cause.
So I was VERY concerned when Trump recently tried to send the national guard into our cities and I am VERY glad to see the U.S. Supreme Court force him to back off. (If you like freedom thank a constitutional lawyer guys…)
Americans are free. And must remain free. And neither Trump nor anybody else should be trying to invade our cities with military forces of any kind– and hopefully no matter how far to the right you are you agree with that!
But when it comes to foreign matters things are different. The constitution gives the president unfettered right as the “commander and chief” of our U.S. military to deploy our most precious resource (our military men and women) as he sees fit around the world. He does not even have to consult with congress for 90 days under the constitution. So he is allowed, essentially, to do whatever he wants on the world stage.
Now… that does not mean it is always a good idea. And there are international laws and norms that must be considered. And you know.. risking our service members lives should probably not be done unless there’s a damn good reason for it.
But when we talk about activities on the world stage we are in “hope” land and not “right” land. By that I mean we have the absolute RIGHT as Americans to demand our military not operate domestically. But internationally we can only HOPE the President is making wise and prudent choices and delivering good outcomes with our powerful and brave military.
And Trump has a pretty good track record guys.
He did a GREAT job deescalating the whole Iran/Israel thing recently. He helped maneuver that flare up between India and Pakistan too.
Yeah he stupidly said he was going to solve the Russian/Ukrain and Israel/Gaza thing in 24 hours but he isn’t that good. Only the Czar can solve those problems– and I will, very quickly, if I end up president.
But overall Trump has been very above average on the world stage. He always seems crazy but he acts prudently. At least so far.
Kidnapping Madura is seemingly his craziest act to date, but I think we should give him the benefit of the doubt here.
First, remember all that hoopla about him taking those Venezuelan gang members and sending them to that crazy hell hole in El Salvador? That was nuts right?
I have to tell you I was pretty opposed to that on the surface because I don’t like the idea of people getting “disappeared” off American streets into third-world pits, even if they are gang members (and especially if they aren’t!)
But Trump had a bigger play that no one knew about.
Within days, those guys were out of El Salvador and on planes back to Venezuela in exchange for American prisoners who were released back to the U.S.
Pause.
That’s pretty brilliant.
Trump wanted Americans out of Venezuelan prisons and he used illegal immigrant (accused) gang members to get them out of there. And nobody knew what he was really up to. And it worked!
He didn’t get enough credit for that in my view. It was a very good play.
And who were these American prisoners? I have no information on that but it would not surprise me at all if some of them were “assets”– you know what I mean.
So recently we know Venezuela captured/detained a few more Americans and we also know Maduro was meeting with some Chinese delegates recently. So maybe something more was afoot down there.
Don’t know.
What we do know, of course, is that Maduro was indicted in New York a while back for charges related to the drug trade and apparently there was some new indictment recently and claims of “stolen oil” from Vance– pretty wild stuff.
Ostensibly this all is why Trump grabbed the guy, but I doubt strongly that’s what is really going on here. Many sitting leaders have been indicted by foreign governments- even Trump and Netanyahu– but there is no serious effort to kidnap these folks and have them face trial.
I suspect–expect really– something more is afoot here. And until we find out what it is I think we should back Trump on this. That’s what the constitution suggests.
Now… if it turns out we just risked a bunch of our guys’ lives, lost a helicopter, and created an international incident for no reason. To quote Prince Humperdinck, I’m going to very put out. And people are going to hear all about it.
For now though I am going to assume Trump is acting wisely, if not prudently here. Let’s get some more information before we react.
Those are my two cents.
Let’s see what happens next.
Also don’t you want a thoughtful voice who sees both sides you can actually TRUST in office?
Time to get smart folk.
Troutman is the answer.
Read about him. Love him. Join him. Let’s get back to winning!
I posted a video on the Good ICE shooting January 12, 2026.
Although I took the shooting was probably legally justified–worth an investigation BTW– because the guy had been dragged before and was subjectively very likely just defending himself this was a “terrible” situation.
To use my words I said:
I felt “Terrible for her and her family.”
“This is a terrible situation. This is a terrible istuation.”
“I just feel terrible. I just feel terrible.”
You can see it right here at the 22:34 mark.
Now at the time the Trump administration was still claiming this was domestic terrorism and Trump himself was categorically defending the officer and claiming Good had tried to run him over.
