— Donald J. Trump endorsed Mike Beltran for Florida’s 14th Congressional District, praising the candidate as an “America First Patriot” while attacking his Democratic opponent. Here is the full post on Truth Social: “It is my Great Honor to endorse America First Patriot, Mike Beltran, who is running to represent the tremendous people of Florida’s 14th Congressional District! A Harvard Law School Graduate, and very successful Lawyer and Businessman, Mike knows the Wisdom and Courage required to uphold our Constitution, and promote LAW AND ORDER.

His opponent, Kathy Castor, voted against NO TAX ON TIPS, NO TAX ON OVERTIME, and NO TAX ON SOCIAL SECURITY and, if she and the Dumocrats ever got in, all of these things would be terminated. She wants massive Tax Increases, Open Borders, Men playing in Women’s Sports, and Transgender for Everybody. Kathy Castor is Reckless, Radical, and Dangerous! On the other hand, as your next Congressman, Mike will fight tirelessly to Grow our Economy, Cut Taxes and Regulations, Promote MADE IN THE U.S.A., Champion American Energy DOMINANCE, Keep our Border SECURE, Strongly Support our incredible Law Enforcement, Military, and Veterans, and Protect our always under siege Second Amendment.

Mike Beltran has my Complete and Total Endorsement to be the next Representative from Florida’s 14th Congressional District. GET OUT AND VOTE FOR MIKE — HE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!

President Trump is the author of The Art of the Deal, Think Like a Billionaire, and Think Big. Analyst and Trump supporter Rod Martin points to The Art of the Deal, Trump's 1987 book, as an explanation of his deal-making philosophy: making big announcements, pivoting often in public statements and, Martin says, ultimately getting what he wanted all along. Critics contend that Trump's books were published decades ago or were aimed at making money, not shedding light. "Generally," Martin said, "critics don't read The Art of the Deal. If they did, they would understand."
