WASHINGTON D.C. — Here is the full post on Truth Social: “Congressman Ryan Mackenzie is an America First Patriot, who is doing an incredible job representing the Great People of Pennsylvania’s 7th Congressional District! In Congress, Ryan is fighting tirelessly to Grow the Economy, Create Jobs, Cut Taxes and Regulations, Keep our Border SECURE, Stop Migrant Crime, Support our Incredible Military/Vets, Champion American Energy DOMINANCE, and Protect our always under siege Second Amendment. Ryan’s opponent, Bob Brooks, is a Radical Left Dumocrat who is opposed to NO TAX ON TIPS, NO TAX ON OVERTIME, and NO TAX ON SOCIAL SECURITY and, if he and the Dumocrats ever got in, all of these things will be terminated. He wants massive Tax Increases, Open Borders, Men playing in Women’s Sports, and Transgender Mutilization of your Children.
Bob Brooks is Reckless, Radical, and Dangerous! Ryan Mackenzie has my Complete and Total Endorsement for Re-Election. GET OUT AND VOTE FOR RYAN — HE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN! Donald J.

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."
