The First Hundred Days of Second Trump

2,490 words

April 30, 2025, will mark the passing of the first 100 days of Donald Trump’s second term. This benchmark refers to the 100 days between Napoleon Bonaparte’s return to France from Elba Island to his final defeat at Waterloo. It also refers to the flurry of legislation Franklin Delano Roosevelt passed just after he took office in 1934. If things go the usual way, now that we’ve passed 100 days, the frantic activity of the second presidency of Donald Trump will slow and outside events will come to dominate Trump’s administration.

What Is Working

The actions Trump has taken during this time prove that metapolitics works. The ideas Pat Buchanan and Ross Perot advanced in the 1990s regarding the negatives of “free” trade have been adopted as policy to a degree. Trump has enacted (and withdrawn) a variety of tariffs. The positives have yet to fully materialize, but they will appear once the situation stabilizes. The national conversation is also moving the right way. Instead of outsourcing and stock market fluff, we are discussing the importance of manufacturing and industry. The principle of the dignity of labor is once again in its proper place.

The neo-liberal ideology that led to outsourcing in the first place has certainly been dealt a blow. Should factories start to pop up in the United States again it is incumbent upon ordinary American whites to work in those jobs. Technical training is critical, get industrial skills. Learn how to be a tool and die maker. Learn how to fix robots on the assembly line. Learn how to use AI to improve processes. It is also critical that the new factories don’t get filled with immigrants. Re-industrialization plus the Great Replacement is just genocide with factories.

I don’t believe that the tariffs will blow up the global economy. The tariffs are not overextended financial schemes, they represent a clear-headed plan for improvement. Additionally, should economic matters decline, the tariffs can be easily adjusted. As much as I support the tariffs, I recognize that many nations are frustrated by the sudden switch. From their point of view, they were operating under the rules the United States crafted. This is not entirely true of course, but the speed and heavy-handed nature of the tariffs will create considerable global resentment – tread lightly.

The ideas Peter Brimelow enumerated in his excellent book Alien Nation (1995) have become policy. One of Brimelow’s ideas was to have the Internal Revenue Service provide details of illegal immigrants to law enforcement, and this has been done. Trump has also cut off immigrants from social security, this was another issue raised in the book. This is a long running scam, where Koreans and others immigrate, sponsor their parents in, and get their parents social security benefits, although those parents never paid anything into social security.

The Trump administration has also deported foreign students who’d been making trouble on campuses. Admittedly, many of those deported were removed for justly criticizing the so-called state of Israel, but their presence can quickly become threat to American whites. It’s not an honest victory, but it is a victory. The Republicans have also started to push back against dual citizenship, which is a positive trend. The administration also sent the ambassador from the anti-white hellscape that is post-apartheid South Africa home after he made some pro-Great Replacement comments.

The End of the Deep State

Somehow, the Deep State has vanished. During Trump’s first presidency, it seemed that every senior bureaucrat in the US government loudly proclaimed his disloyalty to President Trump. Additionally, there was a real feeling that there was a group of people working to embroil Americans in different foreign wars while throwing sand in the gears of Trump’s plans. This Deep State also supported “civil rights” initiatives like the so-called Equal Opportunity bureaucracy and Affirmative Action.

I suspect that several factors are in play which ended the “Deep State.” The first is the generational shift. The elite of Silent Generation believed in “civil rights.” The oldest of this generation were upcoming young adults in 1948, when “civil rights” was a fully mature social movement which made its mark at the Democratic National Convention that year. Nancy Pelosi, the foolish Speaker of the House who turned congress into a circus in order to oppose Trump during his first term, was twenty in 1960, a time when “civil rights” still had promise. She and the others of her generation were in powerful positions during Trump’s first term, and they probably reached out to ordinary civil servants and promised them benefits for disloyalty and unprofessionalism. Now the Silent Generation is old and has mostly been replaced in the top spots.

Meanwhile the Boomers, who are old but not as old, were not as supportive of “civil rights” as they appeared all this time. I have the suspicion that the general freakout of the late 1960s was the reaction of old-stock American whites to the Leftist and African revolution in the early 1960s. The up-and-coming young activists of the early 1960 (those of the Silent Generation) produced true “civil rights” believers, like Joan Baez. The up-and-coming young activists of the late 1960s (Boomers) produced David Duke and religious figures who shored up old-stock American values like Lonnie Frisbee. The baby boom itself was always ethno-racial, and partially due to the efforts of an immigration restrictionist named Edward Alsworth Ross, who encouraged old-stock Americans to have large families in the 1920s.

What DOGE Is Missing

Additionally, the Trump supporters in the government have found each other and have figured out how to create a network of support. Unfortunately, some have been betrayed. Elon Musk has done some good work in DOGE ending some of the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion efforts, but DOGE itself has cut important services. The best criticism of DOGE comes from Kaisar, of Identity Dixie who writes,

Targeting government employees is only going to benefit the elite. The same elite who will force more of their serfs back into the office or on welfare. Then those elites will laugh as old Joe gets laid off who is just trying to help his state preserve its beauty at the Forest Service and struggles to pay his mortgage. Meanwhile, the elite will receive even greater tax cuts and less investigation by state agencies.

The fact that people can be tricked into thinking this is a good idea shows how fragile people’s genuine convictions are. And how weak our love for our people is.

At the end of it all, government employees are not our enemy. They are the very same grey masses that we find in the private sector. Our people in both sectors just need a better shepherd and system. If they had that, they would work for the excellent system, instead of the bad.

The easiest reform of government aside from cutting leftist slush funds tucked away in the budgets of various departments is to reduce the numbers of blacks, especially in jobs that require considerable abstract thinking. There is a price to this however, American blacks don’t send secrets off to foreign countries. Jonathan Pollard, the Jewish spy for the so-called state of Israel, could think abstractly, but his loyalties were not to his host country.

Perhaps the biggest problem in government and military service is the inability to recruit talented people to serve in the mid-grade roles during a time of crisis. It’s been this way since “civil rights.” I know a doctor who volunteered to serve in the Vietnam War but was rejected since he’d have entered service at too high a rank. In a segregated army, a white doctor who serves for a year as a lieutenant colonel may face resentment, but not an overwhelming amount, but in a desegregated army riven with racial resentments, the system cannot handle accepting talented people who are immediately made mid-grade officers even if their appointments are temporary.

This wasn’t always the case. During World War I, the army acquired the services of the editor of the Chicago Tribune, Robert McCormick, who did an excellent job. During the Civil War, the army recruited a railway man named Herman Haupt for a year, making him a brigadier general. Abraham Lincoln said of him, “That man Haupt has built a bridge four hundred feet long and one hundred feet high, across Potomac Creek, on which loaded trains are passing every hour, and upon my word, gentlemen, there is nothing in it but cornstalks and beanpoles.” Before capturing Fort Ticonderoga, Colonel Ethan Allen had manufactured iron pots and been involved in farming and real estate. Allen was also a Yankee ethnonationalist, protecting the interests of Yankee settlers from that of the Anglo-Dutch New Yorkers in Vermont. [1] Allen was also an able writer who could articulate his political positions. Colonel Allen was not an ordinary military man.

Ultimately, DOGE is attempting to do something with contradictory tools. Musk assumes that cutting Park Rangers will balance the budget and reduce the national debt although National Parks bring in money to the US Treasury. Then he hopes to cut taxes. Such a tax cut will help the wealthy the most, so there is less of everything. To cut the debt one needs to bring in more revenue from the parks and raise taxes, especially on the activities of foreign billionaires.

Trump’s Disappointing Actions

Donald Trump has also made some ill-advised comments and launched some half-baked policies. The proposed annexation of Greenland is one such act of stupidity. Trump has also appeared to support the genocide of Gaza’s Palestinians, which is beyond moral defensibility. Trump seems mired in the tarpit of Yemen. Whatever is going on in that place is beyond my understanding. The British had trouble in Yemen/Aden in the 1960s, the Egyptians deployed there at the same time, South Yemen went communist in the 1970s and 1980s, and there were a series of wars and civil wars at that time. The Saudis have waged a vicious war there since 2015. Obviously, Israel’s barbarous treatment of the Palestinians is partially why there are anti-ship missiles flying from Yemen, but more is going on.

The situation in Yemen and its relation to events in Occupied Palestine shows the limits of the Jewish Question. In 2001, knowledge of the JQ would have saved everyone a great deal of trouble, but today, the fact that Jews were and are interested in Ukraine doesn’t mean that they are at fault for the war there. Understand the Jewish Question, but at the same time, recognize its limitations. Improvements to American society don’t always mean that they are only made on behalf of the so-called state of Israel.

Colonizing the Democratic Party

In the same way that all American military operations are partially dysfunctional due to so many sub-Saharans, so too is the Democratic Party. It has become clear that the presidency of Genocide Joe, the senile usurper of the 2020 election, was able to bumble along with “good days” and “bad days” because of his support by the black political machinery within the Democratic Party. It was that political machinery that allowed Biden to win in South Carolina during the 2020 primary, that political machinery that made Kamala Harris the Vice President, and that political machinery which made Harris the Democratic candidate after Biden was forced to drop from the race.

The black political machine is also responsible for the appointment of a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austin, so the Fall of Kabul had a black face. Afro-American control of the Democratic Party is inherently unstable. That a small minority with many pathologies has so much outsized control will not last.

Already there is a brewing revolution against the black political machine in the Democratic Party. Michigan’s governor Gretchen Whitmer has reached out to young, right-leaning men. She has also signaled support for Trump’s goal of re-industrialization. Michigan has suffered from de-industrialization beyond most other places. The Democratic Party has a wing of white idealists who are blocked by politically dominant blacks who are sympathetic to crime and tolerate corruption and other shenanigans. White advocates should seek out to support the Whitmer/Michigan faction of the Democratic Party and make some positive changes. The Democrats will be in charge again one day and we don’t want to see the Great Replacement on the agenda again, having a small hold on the Democratic Party prevents that, plus it offers a counter to the current foreign oligarch wing within the Republican Party which doesn’t help American whites at all. The foreign oligarch wing consists of men like Vivek Ramaswamy and Elon Musk.

Should there be a big black-white crackup in the Democratic Party, it should not come as a surprise. The movie Get Out (2017) tells the story of white liberals in Connecticut stealing “black bodies.” This was an artistic representation of the end of the Obama coalition. Then the mainstream media has allowed the story of the murder of Austin Metcalf by a feral sub-Saharan to be told at the national level, and that story continues to be in the limelight. That is not an accident, and it could mark a shift due to white liberal frustration with politically active blacks. Again, there is no way that a criminally inclined, socially dysfunctional minority with so little accomplishment and productivity can indefinitely sustain an outsized influence over white American society.

Two Books

The far fringe of social and political thought of the 1990s was William Luther Pierce, who passed away in 2002. Pierce’s life is told in the excellent book, The Fame of a Dead Man’s Deeds (2001), written by Robert S. Griffin. This biography tells the story of Pierce’s life and intellectual journey from an ordinary scientist and scholar to a lone white dissident in the mountains of West Virginia. Pierce was fringe in the 1990s, but in 2025 his ideas are no longer as fringe as they were.

Another book which describes what appears to be fringe is American Cosmic: UFOs, Religion, Technology by Diana Walsh Pasulka. The book is a fascinating examination of the embrace of UFOs in American culture. Dr. Pasulka looks at the phenomenon from a religious point of view and shows that many human-UFO encounters are very similar to visions in the Christian – especially the Roman Catholic – tradition. The most important insight in this book is that people who encounter some mysterious event, a light, a being or a mysterious vision, usually cannot explain it, but then have a book encounter that explains what they saw. White advocates should recognize this situation. Many whites have a racial mugging but cannot make sense of it initially, should they read something pro-white, they will gain an understanding. White advocates need to continue to publish.

Notes

[1] The Anglo-Dutch New Yorkers were racially the same as the Yankees. There were also considerable familial connections between the two groups, but they didn’t share in a common political system outside that of the British Empire and that mattered in frontier Vermont, where there were rival land claims.
