Jordan Peterson: ‘I would vote for Trump’ as part of ‘revolutionary’ coalition with Elon Musk, RFK Jr.

In an interview with Piers Morgan, the Canadian psychologist contrasted the former president’s past performance, achieving a ‘decent’ economy and ‘no war,’ against the Biden-Harris record of a ‘complete, bloody world-ending disaster’ in foreign policy.

If he was an American citizen, Dr. Jordan Peterson said he would vote for President Donald Trump in November due to his past performance in office, the “hyper-powerful people” he has gathered around him, and the “grace under pressure” he has exhibited even within the context of two assassination attempts.

The best-selling Canadian author and clinical psychologist was speaking to British TV host Piers Morgan in a wide-ranging interview last Thursday.

“If I could vote in the American election, I would vote for Trump,” he said. “I don’t trust (VP Kamala) Harris.”

“The best predictor of someone’s future behavior is their past behavior,” Peterson explained. “If you’re trying to hire someone and you have documented history of their efforts in precisely the domain that you’re attempting to hire for, and the evidence is clear and valid, you use that in favor of all other predictive markers.”

And with Trump, “we have a documented track record” that includes “decent economic performance” for the nation during his previous term and a “markedly stable international situation” that included “no wars.”

In contrast, the public philosopher observed that under the Biden-Harris administration “we have this terrible, brutal, and I think unnecessary war going on between Russia and Ukraine, which could spiral out of control at any moment, and is highly likely to.”

Since at least May 2023, Trump has promised to end the war in Ukraine within “24 hours” of his potential second inauguration in January. And despite his apparent full embrace of the Zionist agenda, the former president has provided several indications that if elected in November he may bring an end to the genocidal onslaught Israel is currently inflicting upon the Palestinian people.

In late April, the presumed Republican nominee also would not rule out withholding U.S. military aid from Israel in an interview with Time Magazine. After criticizing their “public relations,” particularly the Israeli Army “sending out pictures every night of buildings falling down and being bombed with possibly people (inside),” he was asked whether he would rule out withholding aid, to which he said, “No.”

Additionally, in early June, President Trump appeared to inadvertently make a significant campaign commitment in telling former UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov he would end the war in Palestine.

While attending an Ultimate Fighting Championship event in Newark, New Jersey, Nurmagomedov was heard privately saying to Trump, “I know you will stop the war in Palestine,” to which the 45th president responded, “We will stop it. I will stop the war,” with a video clip of the encounter going viral on Twitter/X.

Secondly, Peterson highlighted what he saw as a very positive development with the former president pulling in “a lot of hyper-powerful people” such as business mogul Elon Musk, former Democrat congresswoman and presidential candidate Tulsi GabbardVivek Ramaswamy, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., “most of whom would have been Democrats in anything approximating a sane and normal world.”

For the psychologist, this indicates that the otherwise “flamboyant and dominating” Trump does not “tilt too far in the narcissistic direction” otherwise he would not be making these alliances and sharing “the spotlight with the rest of this crew.”

Furthermore, “I would vote for Trump if for no other reason than Musk himself has already agreed to head something like a Department of Governmental Efficiency in the U.S.,” Peterson continued. “Then Kennedy is bringing the public health crisis into the political realm, and both of those two things are revolutionary.”

The former professor also doesn’t believe Trump is pursuing a second term out of ambition since he is “an old man,” has already been president and “he’s as famous as you can get.” His motives are therefore focused on the betterment of the United States, “and that’s part of why he’s building this coalition.”

Morgan went on to comment on Trump’s “genuine personal courage” that he has exhibited within the context of the two recent assassination attempts. Trump’s insistence on getting back up after being injured by the first attempt, “to punch the air defiantly was a remarkable thing to do.” And “more remarkable” was his “being back on stage” just one week later “at another rally with an even bigger crowd, like nothing had happened.”

With regard to the second incident, Morgan marveled that Trump was cracking jokes after this attempt on his life, quipping, “I wish I could have finished my birdie putt.”

“Yes, grace under pressure” is a virtue Trump possesses, agreed Peterson, who went on to assess the quality of the former president’s humor.

“You know, Hitler wasn’t well known for his sense of humor,” he continued. And “you can’t deny this, Trump is a funny bastard. He’s funny.” This includes on social media where he is “impulsive, entertaining, unbelievably cutting and funny.”

“You know, that just doesn’t go well with the tyrannical personality,” the psychologist assessed, “because tyrants aren’t well known for being able to tolerate the court jester.”

“And so, Trump is tough and funny,” he summarized.

Addressing Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris, Peterson applied the same principle, “that previous performance is the best indicator of future performance.”

“We’ve already seen what a Biden administration looks like,” and the “foreign policy has been a complete bloody world-ending disaster under the Democrats,” he said in relation to conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East.

“The easiest thing to predict is another four years of the same thing,” he concluded.

Trump’s ‘Golden Dome’ defense shield must be built now, Lt. Gen. warns

Published on

MXM logo  MxM News

Quick Hit:

Lt. Gen. Trey Obering (Ret.), former director of the Missile Defense Agency, is calling on Congress and the Department of Defense to move quickly in support of President Donald Trump’s vision for a next-generation missile defense system—dubbed the “Golden Dome.” In a Fox News op-ed, Obering argues that a constellation of up to 2,000 satellite interceptors could defend against modern threats from China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran at a fraction of the cost of today’s ground-based systems.

Key Details:

  • The Golden Dome initiative will be presented to President Trump following his executive order mandating the development of advanced national missile defense.

  • Obering says a space-based system, enabled by AI and peer-to-peer networking, could intercept missiles earlier in their trajectory, significantly enhancing U.S. deterrence capabilities.

  • Estimated cost for the full satellite constellation would be less than the price of today’s 44 ground interceptors and global radar network.

Diving Deeper:

In a March 31 op-ed for Fox News, retired Lt. Gen. Trey Obering, who directed the Missile Defense Agency under President George W. Bush, laid out a detailed argument for why President Donald Trump’s “Golden Dome” missile defense shield is both technologically feasible and strategically necessary. “We can do this — and we must,” Obering wrote, emphasizing the urgency of the moment.

According to Obering, the current U.S. missile defense architecture—reliant on ground-based interceptors and radar systems—faces serious limitations in light of the increasingly sophisticated missile technologies being developed by U.S. adversaries. “Our existing missile-defense system cannot easily defeat some of our adversaries’ more modern, sophisticated weapons,” he noted.

The “Golden Dome” proposal envisions a network of up to 2,000 satellites in low Earth orbit, operating as both sensors and interceptors. The concept, which builds on Ronald Reagan’s Strategic Defense Initiative and the shelved “Brilliant Pebbles” program, is now achievable thanks to advances in artificial intelligence, satellite production, and space-based communications. “Each satellite has the knowledge of every other satellite,” Obering explained. “They all serve as both threat sensors and hit-to-kill interceptors.”

Obering pointed to real-world applications of this model in Ukraine, where a peer-to-peer software system—built using concepts from Uber—has helped the Ukrainian military effectively target Russian positions. A similar concept could be applied to satellite-based missile defense. “The networking concept has already proven its effectiveness on the battlefield in Ukraine,” he said.

Importantly, Obering stressed that while no missile shield is perfect, the deterrent power of such a system would be undeniable. “The capability and capacity now exists to defeat single and multiple missile launches, thereby creating strategic deterrence — or ‘peace through strength,’ in the words of both Reagan and Trump,” he wrote.

Cost is another key factor. Obering argued that this next-gen system would come in at a lower price than the 44 ground interceptors currently deployed in Alaska and California. He cited SpaceX’s Starlink, which already has over 7,000 satellites in orbit, as proof of concept for rapid and scalable deployment. “For a defense system charged with safeguarding countless lives and trillions of dollars in assets, this would be money well spent,” he said.

He also warned that bureaucratic delays must not slow the project. “We cannot allow unnecessary bureaucratic hurdles to stifle our progress,” Obering urged. He called on Congress to expedite confirmations of key defense leaders and fully fund the Golden Dome initiative, with the Missile Defense Agency as the lead coordinating body.

With China racing ahead in artificial intelligence and space defense, Obering concluded with a stark warning: “Golden Dome must be built first; the alternative is too terrible to contemplate.”

Liberal MP Paul Chiang Resigns Without Naming the Real Threat—The CCP

Published on

The Opposition with Dan Knight     Dan Knight

After parroting a Chinese bounty on a Canadian citizen, Chiang exits the race without once mentioning the regime behind it—opting instead to blame “distractions” and Donald Trump.

So Paul Chiang is gone. Stepped aside. Out of the race. And if you’re expecting a moment of reflection, an ounce of honesty, or even the basic decency to acknowledge what this was really about—forget it.

In his carefully scripted resignation statement, Chiang didn’t even mention the Chinese Communist Party. Not once. He echoed a foreign bounty placed on a Canadian citizen—Joe Tay—and he couldn’t even bring himself to name the regime responsible.

Instead, he talked about… Donald Trump. That’s right. He dragged Trump into a resignation about repeating CCP bounty threats. The guy who effectively told Canadians, “If you deliver a Conservative to the Chinese consulate, you can collect a reward,” now wants us to believe the real threat is Trump?

I haven’t seen Donald Trump put bounties on Canadian citizens. But Beijing has. And Chiang parroted it like a good little foot soldier—and then blamed someone who lives 2,000 miles away.

But here’s the part you can’t miss: Mark Carney let him stay.

Let’s not forget, Carney called Chiang’s comments “deeply offensive” and a “lapse in judgment”—and then said he was staying on as the candidate. It wasn’t until the outrage hit boiling point, the headlines stacked up, and groups like Hong Kong Watch got the RCMP involved, that Chiang bailed. Not because Carney made a decision—because the optics got too toxic.

And where is Carney now? Still refusing to disclose his financial assets. Still dodging questions about that $250 million loan from the Bank of China to the firm he chaired. Still giving sanctimonious speeches about “protecting democracy” while his own caucus parrots authoritarian propaganda.

If you think Chiang’s resignation fixes the problem, you’re missing the real issue. Because Chiang was just the symptom.

Carney is the disease.

He covered for it. He excused it. He enabled it. And now he wants to pose as the man who will stand up to foreign interference?

He can’t even stand up to it in his own party.

So no, we’re not letting this go. Chiang may be gone—but the stench is still in the room. And it’s wearing a tailored suit, smiling for the cameras, and calling itself “leader of the Liberal Party.”
