In what can only be described as the most brilliant "rug pull" in Congressional history, Donald Trump and Speaker Mike Johnson executed a strategy that left Democrats, RINOs, and the media reeling. This wasn’t just another political chess move—it was a full-on exposé of the scam Congress has been pulling on the American people for years. Let’s break down how this trap was set, sprung, and why it changes everything.
The Setup: A Classic Congressional Maneuver
Speaker Johnson did what Congress does every time a government shutdown looms: negotiate a continuing resolution (CR) with Democrats at the last minute. This tired old game usually ends with a bloated bill stuffed with pork, passed in a frenzy, and forgotten by the public.
But this time, something different happened.
The Exposure: The Poison Pills Go Public
Two days before the vote, Johnson released the entire CR for the public to read. This wasn’t an accident—it was a setup. Within hours, anons and independent watchdogs started tearing the bill apart on X (formerly Twitter), exposing all the poison pills stuffed inside the 1,547-page monstrosity.
When Elon Musk chimed in, promising to fund primary challengers for any Republican who voted for the bill, the game changed. The outrage spread like wildfire. For the first time, the American people were fully engaged, hammering their so-called "representatives" and demanding accountability.
The bill, which under normal circumstances would have passed unnoticed, collapsed under the weight of public scrutiny.
The Rug Pull: The Bill Dies, and the Trap Springs
When the 1,547-page CR was voted down, it shocked Democrats, RINOs, and the corporate media. They weren’t ready for the sheer force of public opposition. For decades, these bloated bills were rammed through Congress without a hitch. Suddenly, the script was flipped.
Now, a government shutdown looms. And the blame? Squarely on the Democrats, who were seen abandoning a slimmed-down alternative they could have easily supported.
The Trap: A Slimmed-Down Bill and an Unbeatable Plan
With the first CR dead, Johnson negotiated a new deal: a lean, 116-page CR stripped of all the nonsense. Trump, ever the strategic leader, endorsed this bill publicly but added a key twist. He called for the debt ceiling to be raised on Biden’s watch, knowing Democrats would balk. They did exactly that, rejecting the deal out of pure spite.
And then, the pièce de résistance: Elon Musk posted a picture of the two bills side by side. On one side, the towering 1,547-page bill; on the other, the slim, 116-page CR. The image went viral instantly. Why was this so important? Because, You can’t tell the American people, you have to show them.
This picture didn’t just kill the first bill—it set a new standard. Anything added to the 116-page CR going forward will now be scrutinized by the public. Every page, every paragraph, every word will be exposed.
Checkmate.
The Endgame: Exposing the Scam and Setting the Standard
But Trump and Johnson didn’t stop there. Johnson offered Democrats and RINOs an alternative they couldn’t possibly like: voting on each item in the original CR as a single bill. This was both a preview of what’s to come and a way to further expose the dysfunction in Congress.
At this point, Trump has already won. If the slimmed-down CR passes, it’s a victory for fiscal responsibility. If the government shuts down, it’s an opportunity to show the American people just how much of the federal government is non-essential.
Why This Matters: A Shift in Power
This wasn’t just about passing or killing a bill—it was about shifting power back to the people. For decades, Congress has relied on secrecy, last-minute chaos, and bloated legislation to hide their corruption. Trump and Johnson flipped the script. They showed the American people how the scam works and gave them the tools to fight back.
Now, every bill above 116 pages will be scrutinized. Every page will have to justify its existence. And every “representative” will have to answer to the people, not the lobbyists.
The Bigger Picture: A New Era of Accountability
This is about more than one CR or even one government shutdown. It’s about exposing the rot in Washington and giving power back to the people. By showing the American public how bloated and corrupt these bills have become, Trump and Johnson have set a new standard.
The 116-page CR isn’t just a bill—it’s a benchmark. Anything more than that will now come with questions, scrutiny, and accountability.
Final Thought: The Future of Winning
This wasn’t just a win for Trump or Johnson—it was a win for every American tired of Washington’s waste and corruption. As the federal government teeters on the brink of a shutdown, one thing is clear: the scam has been exposed, the rules have changed, and the people are finally back in the driver’s seat.
And just in time for Trump’s inauguration in January.
More winning indeed.
