What is a "SUNSHINE PATRIOT": A Sunshine patriot is a person who only supports their cause or country during easy and prosperous times and abandons it when things get challenging or dangerous.

Monmouth County NJ - FACT: No one in the Trump family has served in the U.S. military over the last five generations. Donald Trump and his siblings did not serve, nor have his children or his father, Fred Trump. This includes significant conflicts such as World Wars I and II. Donald Trump himself received five draft deferments during the Vietnam War.


On Thanksgiving Day, 24-year-old Andrew Wolfe remains hospitalized, and 20-year-old Sarah Beckstrom tragically lost her life after being shot on Wednesday in Washington, D.C. Both were volunteers for the National Guard, called to Washington, D.C., by their Sunshine Patriot Commander-in-Chief, Donald Trump. Following the shooting, Trump treated D.C. as a war zone and ordered 500 additional troops to occupy the city, suggesting that only a significant conflict could divert attention from the Epstein story dominating the headlines.


It only takes a simple majority in the U.S. House and Senate, led by Sunshine Patriots Mike Johnson and John Thune, to reinstate the military draft. Trump is likely to instruct his MAGA Republican lawmakers to draft young women as well; they will raise their hands to vote yes and proclaim, “HAIL” Trump. His historic signing will be televised for all to see.


**NOTE**: America’s military veterans make up about 6% of the adult population but account for roughly 20% of all suicides, approximately 18 each day. Do you wonder WHY? Parents, some of your 18 to 25-year-old daughters and sons may be wounded, become addicted to alcohol and drugs, or lose their lives fighting an unnecessary war to keep Trump in power and out of prison.

Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.”
