Here is the full post on truthsocial: “It is my Great Honor to endorse Carlos De La Cruz, a fantastic America First Candidate running to be the next Congressman from Texas’ 35th Congressional District! A Brave, 20 Year Air Force Veteran, and now, as a successful Businessman, Carlos has a Proven Record of Success — He is a WINNER! In Congress, Carlos will work tirelessly to Grow the Economy, Promote our Amazing Farmers and Ranchers, Cut Taxes and Regulations, Champion MADE IN THE U.S.A., Advance American Energy DOMINANCE, Keep our Border SECURE, Strengthen our Military/Veterans, Ensure LAW AND ORDER, Advocate for Election Integrity, and Protect our always under siege Second Amendment. Carlos’s opponent, Johnny Garcia, 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. Johnny Garcia is Reckless, Radical, and Dangerous!

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."
