Ten Years Ago, Trump descended—and the American people rose with him
Jeff Crouere, host of Ringside Politics on Real America’s Voice and a leading conservative voice, is available for interviews to explore themes from his compelling new column, “The Trump Years: Golden Escalator to Golden Age.”
His piece isn’t just a retrospective on Trump’s 2015 announcement—it’s a play-by-play of how that moment reset America’s trajectory, making way for today’s political upheavals.
Crouere argues the Golden Escalator wasn’t mere spectacle—it ignited a voter rebellion against endless wars, unchecked globalism, and elite arrogance. He connects that rebellion to current flashpoints like the radical No Kings protests, which reflect both the populist backlash and left-wing resistance reshaping the nation. Listeners want to know: what do these protests reveal about America’s evolving political fault lines?
Key interview angles:
- The symbiotic rise of Trump and the current anti-establishment wave
- Why the Golden Escalator moment still resonates—a decade later—as social unrest boils
- How the No Kings movement ties into broader debates on national identity, immigration, and political legitimacy
- What Crouere sees as the “Golden Age” America can still reach—and how to avoid late-stage authoritarian tension
With widespread protests, soaring public polarization, and all eyes on 2026, Crouere offers powerful insights into how Trump’s brand of American populism continues to echo—and why both sides are mobilizing in reaction.
Audience fit: Crouere’s perspective resonates with talk radio, cable news, and digital conservative platforms. He brings clarity, passion, and policy depth—perfect for segments on Fox & Friends, Newsmax Today, Ringside Politics, The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show.
He’s ready to go live this week. Let me know if you’d like to book him, get audio for advance promotion, or review his full commentary.
