Geopolitical analyst Tom Luongo offers a candid assessment of former President Donald Trump's political strategy and economic agenda.

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 taxpaye...
Trump, Putin, and Xi: The Return of Mob Boss Politics and the Redefinition of Presidential Power 17.12.2025 0:47

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.

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.

Tom Luongo Exposes Marjorie Taylor Greene as Controlled Opposition: 'AOC for MAGAtards 17.12.2025 3:25
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.

Tom Luongo on Bitcoin, the Fed, and Decentralization: Why Sovereigntists Could Save the Dollar 17.12.2025 2:19
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...
Tom Luongo on Venezuela and Castle Doctrine: Why Trump Has Every Right to Blow Up Cartel Boats 17.12.2025 2:56

Luongo contends that Trump, having grown up navigating N...
Tom Luongo on Trotskyite Libertarians: Why Permanent Revolution Politics Is Unresolved Daddy Issues 17.12.2025 2:17
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 a...
Tom Luongo: Trump's First Year Was About Re-Educating Americans on How Broken the System Actually Is 17.12.2025 3:53
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...
