🇺🇸 Ross Perot Was Right. Trump Proved It.

In 1992, during a historic presidential debate, independent candidate Ross Perot looked America in the eye and gave us a prophecy.

“If you’re paying $12, $13, $14 an hour for factory workers, and you move your factory south of the border… pay a dollar an hour, have no health care, no environmental controls, no retirement… there’ll be a giant sucking sound going south.”

He wasn’t wrong. He was early.

Perot wasn’t backed by PACs, parties, or special interests. He was powered by 5.5 million Americans who put him on the ballot because they were tired of being lied to. Tired of the fake choices between two corrupt machines. He brought charts, truth, and the heart of a businessman who had built things — not just talked about it.

He spoke of balanced budgets, public accountability, and the decay of the middle class. He waved a “voodoo stick” in one speech to mock the voodoo economics of the establishment. He exposed how corporate executives got richer while average Americans struggled to pay rent.

📉 Between 1977 and 1992:

The poorest 60% of Americans lost purchasing power.

The top 1% increased their wealth by 138%.

Trickle-down? It never trickled. It pooled at the top.

He warned of a government run by lobbyists, of $4 trillion in public debt, and of outsourcing America’s future to countries that don’t share our values.

He said:

“We need to practice 21st century capitalism — not 19th century exploitation. We need small business growth, modern industry, and to rebuild this great country. Not just let it rot while politicians play golf.”

He called for:

Slashing congressional perks and staff

Ending special interest contributions

A simplified, fair tax system

Investment in Made in USA jobs and industries of the future

Stopping career politicians from lobbying after leaving office

A government that works for the people, not themselves

Sound familiar?

🔁 Fast forward to @realDonaldTrump:

Withdrew from the TPP

Replaced NAFTA with USMCA

Slapped tariffs on China and brought manufacturing back

Promoted economic patriotism and fair trade over free trade

Refused to be bought by donors and global corporations

Today @POTUS Trump delivered on what Perot had long ago demanded.

This isn’t about Republican or Democrat.
It’s about America First. It’s about finally having a leader who fought for the same people Perot stood up for.

📽️ Perot said:
“You move your factories across the border, lose your middle class, and you won’t be able to defend this country.”

He was mocked. Laughed at. Even “fact-checked.”

But 30 years later — we’re living in his warning.

And Trump?
He did something about it.

We must never forget Ross Perot’s voice. He lit the fire. Trump kept it burning.

Let’s finish what they started with @POTUS 2025.
