A former Ted Cruz supporter explains why he now backs Donald Trump, arguing that deregulation and tax cuts return power to people rather than concentrate it. He's already preparing for 2026 and doesn't want the momentum to stop.
I gotta admit, I was not a Trump supporter back in 2016. I was Ted Cruz all day long because I thought he would be the next Reagan. Trump got in and he started deregulating. I know that's not sexy, but when it comes to deregulation, that's my favorite thing. That's how I know somebody is serious about restoring power to the people. When they want to deregulate, when they want to take power away from the federal government and hand it back to the people. For people that say that, oh, Trump is a dictator. Trump is a tyrant. Trump is an authoritarian. To the man that I love, a good man who said, well, now you elected a king. No, man. No, man. I'm sorry. Kings don't cut taxes. Kings don't deregulate. That's not what they do. They try to take away from you instead of give back to you. And what President Trump is going to do in this second administration is an attempt to give freedom back to we the people. Man, I am so excited. I don't want to stop. Guys, I can't lie to you. I know this sounds crazy, But I'm already ready for 2026 because I don't want this to stop.
