Political Ambitions, Global Strategies, and GOP Tensions in Trump’s Orbit

Geor­gia Gov­er­nor Bri­an Kemp’s influ­ence grows, with his wife Mar­ty promi­nent­ly fea­tured at events, amid spec­u­la­tion of a Sen­ate run against Ossoff. Kemp’s sup­port for a pri­ma­ry chal­lenge to Rep. Andrew Clyde sug­gests an anti-MAGA push, poten­tial­ly split­ting the GOP vote as Burt Jones’ guber­na­to­r­i­al bid may draw MAGA sup­port. Trump, embrac­ing cryp­to and eye­ing JD Vance or Mar­co Rubio as suc­ces­sors, runs the admin­is­tra­tion like a CEO, though Rubio may hold favor as he is seen to be Trump’s right hand man. The GOP’s efforts to “de-MAGA” the par­ty inten­si­fy, while Trump pro­pos­es mil­i­ta­riz­ing the bor­der, des­ig­nat­ing car­tels as ter­ror­ists, and aid­ing Mex­i­co against them. New U.S. tar­iffs strain China’s gar­ment indus­try, push­ing man­u­fac­tur­ers to seek alter­na­tives, while China’s leader vis­its Rus­sia to nav­i­gate trade ten­sions. Trump demands Iran dis­man­tle its nuclear pro­gram and sug­gests reopen­ing Alca­traz for crim­i­nals. A 60 Min­utes seg­ment on law firms tar­get­ing Trump risks a $20 bil­lion law­suit, high­light­ing ongo­ing legal bat­tles. Kemp’s moves could reshape Georgia’s polit­i­cal land­scape and impact 2028 GOP prospects.

• If Bri­an Kemp goes any­where there is a chair for him and a chair for Mar­ty. If he is the host for for­eign investors there are pic­tures of Mar­ty in the room. 
• Trump sug­gests JD Vance, Mar­co Rubio could suc­ceed him. Trump is not run­ning for a third term, they are sell­ing the hats. Is JD Vance a lock? 
• John Thune and oth­ers flew to Atlanta to meet with Bri­an Kemp and his wife, dur­ing East­er.  Some­one needs to ask Kemp why is he pri­ma­ry­ing Andrew Clyde in the 9th dis­trict.  Kemp doesn’t bring the MAGA vot­er back to the vot­ing booth. But they are hop­ing he is on the bal­lot against Ossoff. 
• They are work­ing up the cryp­to. Trump embraces cryp­to as fam­i­ly ven­tures into indus­try. Pay atten­tion to this. 
• Don’t know if Kemp will run for sen­ate. But Bri­an Kemp thinks they throw the elec­tion because Burt Jones is run­ning for gov­er­nor and that may pull the MAGA vote. Mike Collins, the con­gress­man in the 10th dis­trict may step out and run for Sen­ate. If some­thing bad would hap­pen repub­li­cans could lose the gov­er­nor seat and Ossoff could go back to the Sen­ate. 
• JD Vance is in the room, he plays a role in this admin­is­tra­tion, but Mar­co has grabbed the right hand seat next to Trump. Trump runs the coun­try as if he is the CEO. 
• The repub­li­can par­ty is doing all they can to de-MAGA this coun­try today. 
• Need to watch: 60 min­utes airs bomb­shell seg­ment despite warn­ing it will enrage net­work boss­es and send Trump nuclear amind $20 bil­lion law­suit. It cov­ers the law firms that attacked the Amer­i­can peo­ple and Pres­i­dent Trump. 
• Step 1: close the bor­der, Step 2: get the gang mem­bers out of the coun­try and set up the mil­i­tary on the south­ern bor­der and name the car­tels as ter­ror­ist orga­ni­za­tions. 
• Trump says to the Mex­i­can Pres­i­dent that we are ready to help. Trump offers Mex­i­co to allow the US Mil­i­tary to help fight car­tels. 
• China’s gar­ment fac­to­ries face a tip­ping point after new tar­iffs. As the US tax loop­hole ends, the appar­el mak­ers that sell to Amer­i­ca are forced to con­sid­er alter­na­tive mar­kets or cheap­er loca­tions in and out­side Chi­na. You can’t just order $800 from Temu and get it deliv­ered duty free. Chi­na is strug­gling eco­nom­i­cal­ly right now. They have to make a deal but they have to save face with their peo­ple. HOw are they going to han­dle this because they have too. 
• Trump will only accept total dis­man­tle­ment of Iran’s nuclear pro­gram. 
• The Chi­nese pres­i­dent will vis­it Rus­sia from May 7–10, long week­end at the 80th com­mence­ment of the vic­to­ry of Nazi defeat to talk about their part­ner­ship, issues on the region­al and nation­al agen­da. They are going to lay out plans when Rus­sia nor­mal­izes rela­tion­ships with the US. Chi­na is going to use Rus­sia to work out the tar­iffs. This will help us because we have North Korea, Tai­wan and Iran. Trump is play­ing hard ball. Then we have India and Pak­istan still going at it. 
• Trump wants to open up Alca­traz to lock away the dregs of soci­ety.
