Greg Gutfeld was blunt on The Five this week: the quickest way to “enshrine America First” is to keep President Trump in the room where deals get made and tough choices are settled. Conservatives know what the left refuses to admit — leadership matters, and having the man who put American workers and American security first at the table changes the outcome for our country.
President Trump himself has been candid about the constitutional limits on presidential terms, telling reporters aboard Air Force One that “if you read it, it’s pretty clear” he’s not allowed a third elected term and that he’s “too bad” about it — the law matters even when the left tries to weaponize the topic. That reality doesn’t diminish Trump’s political muscle or the value of his presence; it simply underlines that influence, not offices, is how you reshape Washington.
Even some establishment Republicans have been forced to acknowledge the 22nd Amendment’s constraints and the political impracticality of rewriting the Constitution for one man, a point House Speaker Mike Johnson and others have emphasized while encouraging focus on delivering for the American people. Conservatives should welcome that clarity — the mission is staying power for America First policies, not constitutional stunts.
That mission is exactly what was on display as Trump traveled Asia and prepared to sit down with China’s Xi Jinping on the sidelines of APEC — a meeting that offers the rare chance to turn tariffs and tough postures into concrete wins for U.S. workers and national security. Instead of the predictable hand-wringing from the coastal elites, real patriots see negotiation as a battlefield where American leverage must be used to secure better outcomes on trade, fentanyl, and critical supply chains.
Washington’s critics scream “appeasement” when a deal or temporary truce is discussed, but the truth is practical: if trading partners crack down on fentanyl precursors or pause harmful export controls, we win lives and jobs — and that’s exactly what these talks should extract from China. The media will obsess over optics; Americans should focus on deliverables that protect our children, our factories, and our sovereignty.
Let’s be honest: the left and their media allies tremble at the idea of Trump in any room because they know he plays to win and won’t apologize for putting America first. Conservatives should stop being apologetic and start acting like the majority we are — rally behind tough negotiating, secure borders, and economic patriotism that puts our families and workers ahead of globalist schemes.
Hardworking Americans deserve leaders who will fight for them, not bureaucrats who bow to consensus and corporate globalism. Keep the man who built the MAGA movement where decisions are made; let Greg Gutfeld and every patriot demand it — because when America’s best interests are nonnegotiable, our nation thrives.
