— Donald J. Trump endorsed Republican incumbent Representative María Elvira Salazar for reelection in Florida’s competitive 27th Congressional District. Salazar faces a tight race against Democratic challenger Eliott Rodriguez, a former television anchor, as national Democrats target the Miami-Dade seat to regain control of the U.S. House.

Here is the full post on truthsocial: “Congresswoman María Elvira Salazar is doing a great job representing the wonderful people of Florida’s 27th Congressional District! In Congress, María is working hard to Grow our Economy, Cut Taxes and Regulations, Promote MADE IN THE U.S.A., Unleash American Energy DOMINANCE, Keep our Border SECURE, Stop Migrant Crime, Support our Brave Military/Veterans, and Defend our always under siege Second Amendment. María’s opponent, Eliott Rodriguez, is a Radical Left Democrat 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.

Eliott Rodriguez is Reckless, Radical, and Dangerous! María Elvira Salazar has my Complete and Total Endorsement for Re-Election. GET OUT AND VOTE FOR MARIA!

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."
